Who are the miller and biron in this situation?

Is cap room even an issue at this point? Okposo also had 10 points in his last 15 games after getting off the eakin black hole line - before matt irwin blasted a slapper off his face.

Straight up? It'd be a bad trade. There's no term on those goalies.

I don't think you're getting a top 5 prospect in the NHL. I think its likely - a top 5 prospect on the team, a roster center, a 1st round pick or two, and probably another roster player to make dollars work for a year.

Right - if it doesn't work out, I have final say on where I go if/when the team decides to try and move you. Parise and suter both signed for 13 years and I think part of it was wanting to play for a hometown team (parise is from minnesota, and suter from wisconsin). Boston will probably have to give them to Pastrnak and Bergeron on a new deal though. Same with Rask if they end up keeping him on. McAvoy will also probably have one that triggers a couple of years into his deal assuming they buy out some UFA years on his next deal.

I can't complain about forcing his way to boston, he was absolutely entitled to do so. I was more generally annoyed with his disinterest, and lack of effort for the entirety of the deal. It didn't feel like it was any different approaching the deadline either, he was content to just skate. I don't want to see him succeed for that reason, but also because I hate the Bruins. My ideal scenario here is they get to the cup and lose again so i can see marchand crying sad tears again, with hall crying next to him.

Yeah, and they'd be wise to trade him before then.

Rieder was also... not great. He had a few goals early when no one could score. But Moving Okposo off of that line and he immediately started putting up points. Addition by subtraction as far as eakin and rieder. Whoever they put there will probably be better.

I'd think you only get one of boldy/rossi. Dumba has a M-NTC so thats up in the air. Fiala probably wouldn't be made available. Soucy might be interesting, but thats another LHD. I dunno - they have the pieces to make it work, they just have to do it before the expansion draft.

Could always dock them some picks too. I think it'd be highly unlikely though - I think Minnesota leads the league with 5, and they have 0 other NTCs.

I actually ate a burger for lunch. I made some big mac sauce to go with it and honestly it tasted pretty good.

Kings deal would be challenging - you almost have to get Quick in the deal (unless they're willing to part with their captain). Because I'm taking on basically dead money - I'd want 1 of byfield/turcotte, and 1 of vilardi/Kaliyev. Which is probably asking a lot - but they'd still likely have centers of Eichel, Kopitar, Byfield for the forseeable future. Get out of 2 years and almost 12 million owed quick. They'd need help at winger but thats a lot easier to fill with all stars and potential all stars down the middle. Buffalo would walk away with at least another center coming back - and flexibility on what to do with reinhart and how to fill out lines. They also get a goalie - albeit a bad one.

I always figured they aren't trading kakko and Lafreniere. So i'd have it drawn up as: Strome (replacement center for 1 year and to help dollars), Chytil (middle 6 winger), Miller (top level prospect), and picks. I'd try and get Georgiev in the deal as well since we have 0 goaltending.

If we're going to trade everyone, whats Guy Boucher doing? Maybe he can drag this roster to the playoffs playing a boring trap game.

Well... I assume wed get some players back in any of those trades simply because teams are going to struggle to absorb large cap hits without sending players back.

Rikard Gronborg - Swedish national coach and coach of ZSC Lions. But he can't leave until 2022 - at least according to this article. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/coaches/rikard-gronborg. If they really really wanted him I'm sure money talks like every other major sports league, but with Kruegers 2021 salary already on the books I doubt TP is buying out coaches to hire them.

See i feel that way about picassos. But its honestly the sheet pizzas. They cook differently i think.

I'm a sucker for fast food when i cheat on a diet. Double whopper with cheese no tomato, large fries, 10 piece and a coke. Sometimes ill get the pie, depends how much i hate myself that day.

I had francos the other day that was pretty good. Daddios is usually solid. Just pizza is really consistent which i appreciate. Macy's makes some weird stuff but some of those are really good. I got kinda sick of picassos from when i worked at Ingram Micro and that was like THE pizza there - they even sold it in the cafeteria. You couldn't get away from it! It's been a couple of years and I'm still like ehhhh when someone mentions picassos.

I feel like i always have to wait a couple minutes after bocce arrives to eat it. Otherwise its just a mess. And that waiting might be akin to torture.

Barzal at 2/14 plus RFA rights on a still developing player vs. Eichel at 4/40 as possibly damaged goods. Barkov would be cool, as hes likely as good as Jack - but its 1yr 5.9. They're better positioned long-term and buffalo's probably moving barkov at the deadline.

Yeah, only challenge is you most likely get less at the deadline than you would around the expansion draft (players teams can't protect, etc.) or pre-season.

With that fat 10M cap hit (and reinhart probably getting a raise) you almost have to get some cap hits back. It can be in any form, but i think top priority will be a center in one of those 3 trades.

You're probably right... depends how many gaping holes are on the roster, and if the seasons already a waste of time.

Rough season probably for all the drafted prospects. He played in the WJC and some AHL games. He also at least went through an NHL camp and practiced with AHL teams for most of the year. I don't think it was ideal at all - but i wouldn't be surprised to see him with the big club next year. I do love quinn's shot though, he seems really natural transitioning from stick handling to shooting. Comfortable around the net. If they keep him in the minors (no idea the rules on if thats allowed), I think they'll try and make him a center, his game seems to involve the center of the ice quite a bit.
