Finally got my date for first dose (27th) can't actually wait for this. Expecting horrible reaction. Seems to be if you've had covid then got the vax side effects are rubbish. (Not scientifically verified!). @Weave @LGR4GM is this the article? https://newsroom.clevelandclinic.org/2021/05/12/most-covid-19-infections-and-hospitalizations-are-in-unvaccinated/

I think @radar has nailed it. Granato has improved the youngsters. I think that no "veteran" coach has us as their dream destination, so we may talk to them but still end up with Granato. Who is looking for a HC? NYR Krackheads CBJ Yotes Us Do any playoff coaches get sacked this year? My money would be on Gallant for Seattle or NY. The talk I've heard from Columbus podcaster [guesting on Locked On NHL] is that Jarmo is looking at non NHL HC guys. Does Boudreau has any "magic sauce" that would make him appealing to an organisation? Torts plus our young guys doesn't seem like the most savvy move. Tocchet? Can't say I've given him any thought tbh. Quinn? the BU connection with Jack - too much pandering to our resident pout-monger? Side note - I'd love to see Ralph land a new HC job just to watch from the outside.

I think both are unobtainable but I would love to see Barzal or Barkov.

Sooner the Bruins get swept out the better.

If Adams can get both AND picks that would be a great piece of business.

Any love for a trade with the Ducks? Zegras would be a nice addition, no?

Because the nhl is stupid.

He could retire I suppose 🤔

Done.

I am slowly coming round to Granato. I think his professionalism has been impeccable, and the fact that he sat the cr@p vets to let the young guys get a look in for next year shows he actually gives a damn about this team. If we are to lose Jack for young players then he's in a great position to bring them on together. Not like the old school guys (Torts) who I think will suck the life of the youth.

Maybe I misunderstand. But couldn't Adams come out and say "we will honor the no move clause by not moving Jack while under contract". ?

Counterpoint: In a Eichel played through injury. Got new injury. I think that shows his desire to play for the team. He then Read on buzzfeed or some ***** that he could be back quickly with a roboneck but Sabres were concerned that the long term had not been studied in NHL players. Pouty Jack unhappy sabres won't risk it. No doubt he would love to be a Bruin or Cap but I don't doubt the commitment to the sabres. No news here and I would be pissed if he was all smiles and giggles after this season.

Not sure the relevance here, but he was awesome in my fantasy team when he was with Blackburn!

Yeah I see that for them. I'd love to see Tkachuk with Cozens and possibly (in a year or 2) Matej Pekar. They could be hard to play against. (Maybe even the relentlessness of JJP when he's ready). Tkachuk Lindholm(or Monahan) and Gaudreau for Jack and Sam??

Tkachuk plus monahan/Lindholm and what for Eichel. I would be interested in seeing something starting here.

One word to complete the sentence please.....

When did fans get what they want though? I don't think any if us on here wanted Eakin or Irwin. Ranger owner is, IMHO, someone who needs to make the big statement. For that reason alone I think a move to NYC is on the cards.

Aha. Gotcha.

What do you mean by poison pill? Would love to see Tkachuk here too.

Quebec Sabres?

Can see Sam getting offer sheeted.

They've probably signed it to be new head of hockey ops.

If we're talking D - k'andre Miller must surely be an ask?

Rangers for Eichel makes no sense. They will not pony up what would be a fair trade without handicapping their team, which is not great. Eichel would end up on a buffalo-like NYR team imo.
