I am pretty sure it will be how they don’t like the return on Eichel regardless of what it is. Also how all our college players aren’t going to sign with us and will leave in free agency instead.

So everyone, it is going to happen at some point. My question is: Where do we hear the trade first? Which “insider” breaks the official trade first? I’m going to say Seravalli or Weekes.

Kevin Weekes is usually bang on with his stuff. This doesn’t really tell anything new but I think these are the two teams that are legit in on Eichel. The Ducks and Avs and others check in but the Flames and Knights are the two serious about a deal. https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/1454559378321850390?s=20

So nice to see Quinn and Peterka driving the bus for Rochester. The thing I like most is that they both look like they fit Granato’s style like a glove.

Reheated!!!!!! Everyone back in the pool!! Vegas claiming Amadio is interesting.

This is the guy who torched the OHL for 52 goals. His game is back to looking electric and dangerous every time the puck is on his stick. That hernia injury took a lot from him last year.

“Talks have cooled” is from Friedman this morning at the beginning of the 32 Thoughts podcast. The most interesting thing is that Marek admitted that he just threw Hague’s name out there because he likes him as a prospect, not that he had any info that he was in the deal. So there is no evidence that Hague has ever been in a Vegas deal at all.

That is an old list. Glass is in Nashville.

I just think that Adams being at the Michigan game was in part to have eyes on Brisson. Tuch, Theodore, Brisson, conditional pick is my guess based on nothing.😀

I hope they outdo the Lindros-Quebec trade where they dealt him to both the Rangers and Flyers and the NHL had to figure it out. I hope they announce Adams has traded Eichel to Vegas, Calgary and Anaheim and all hell has broken loose at NHL HQ.😀 Call the Fire Dept. there is a ton of smoke around Buffalo and Vegas. Let’s just get a deal done at this point.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/maple-leafs-sign-morgan-rielly-eight-year-60m-extension/ My God! Living in Toronto and watching the Leafs I am not a big Reilly fan. Does Dubas have a different salary cap then the rest of the league because he isn’t smart enough to do the gymnastics necessary to make this work. Has any team in history given out more money to players who have failed to win even a single playoff series.

Adding good players is always a plus. Theodore is mid 20s, great contract, and is a known commodity. You don’t know what Power, Samuelsson, Johnson will end up being. IF he is offered in the deal you take it and run. Theodore and Tuch would be great additions to strengthen the lineup and help the kids progress while still being mid 20s and on good contracts with term that won’t shake up the salary structure. You still get your future piece with a first or a Brisson or Krebs depending what the deal looks like. Theodore, Tuch, Brisson, conditional pick would be a very good return.

Chevy’s meeting with Bettman was moved up from Monday to today. I think you can guarantee there will be a new GM in Winnipeg.

Tage has been day and night better at centre. That was his first rough game of the season. They need Mitts back and shift Cozens to RW.

The 3 rd period was a combo of the Sabres being gassed and the Ducks aggressively trapping in the neutral zone. They need Mitts back and to shift Cozens to RW. Cozens is struggling at C. Their structure is so much better under Granato. They don’t give up a ton of g,a ring opportunities even when they struggle.

That’s a game they lose 10 out of 10 times the past couple years. Take the points and run. Asplund is really coming into his own as a young player. Great play by Victor to setup the tap in. Really like that line with Tage down the middle.

They just said during the Michigan game that Kevyn Adams is in the building. I know he is looking at Power (who made a fantastic play on Johnson’s goal) and Portillo but I wonder if he is looking at Brisson who almost scored.

Maybe but face to face meetings always seem to get more accomplished.

Dinner?😜

I haven’t seen enough of Brad Lambert to form an opinion. What are the thoughts on his hockey sense? I don’t care about speed and dangles if the brain isn’t there to use those other skills properly.

I don’t agree with allowing UPL to stay in there for 6 goals (7th as empty netter). Young goalie who is clearly struggling. You have a capable vet in Dell. Pull UPL, let Dell mop up and then ride Dell while UPL works on his game.

You are 100% correct. To allow the guy to work with other teams and around young players when they knew what he did is absolutely inexcusable.

How stupid is USA hockey? They have announced that Bill Guerin has been named GM of the U.S. Olympic team. So they are replacing the guy that they fired for being in the middle of a giant sexual assault coverup with a guy who is under investigation for a giant sexual assault coverup.🤮
