Tanev would be the new Patrick/Teppo😀

But he’s not 6’3 with blazing speed and he doesn’t drop the gloves so what value could he possibly have?😜

Who is this magical needle moving dman you envision since you dump on everyone else’s suggestions. Show your work and lay out who you are moving to acquire said magical dman. I’ll hang up and listen.

“Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad broke his foot, dislocated his shoulder twice, and a tore his oblique throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs, ”

If he leaves we can bring Tim Connolly and Taylor Pyatt to replace him.😜

Someone on another board put another name out there: Brian Dumolin. Unhearalded, 6’4, 210 lbs 31 year old dman has played with the Pens his whole career.

Please promote Peca

Good list. Dvorak is a LHD. You have to think McCarthy being neighbours with Adams Is a big plus for him. Find a way to draft Musty, McCarthy and trade for Luke Tuch and the local vibes will be off the charts😀

Graves, Hanifin, Dumba, Tanev, DeMelo and perhaps Mayfield would have to be in the discussion as a solution as a #4 partner for Power.

I know that’s why I mentioned it.😀 Wood won’t be offered a deal on NJ and Foligno is probably a cap casualty in Minny with the Parise-Suter situation

If by miracle Reinbacher, Benson and Simashev are all there at #13 who would people take? For me Benson is too talented to pass on.

Just wait until Miles Wood and Marcus Foligno become available😛

One guy has Simashev at the end of the first round and Musty out of the first round.

Roy stepped down in Quebec. Rumours he might be going to Ottawa

I have no idea what the Sabres will do this offseason but for me my most realistic offseason would be signing Freddy Andersen for 2 years and Ryan Graves for 4-5 years. Move on from Girgs, Hinny, UPL, VO, Bryson. See if Johnson can challenge Stillman for a 3rd pairing spot.

Hey it can’t hurt if Freddy does make it to July 1st.

And what was Hagg’s goal song?

Johnson has no reason to sign here this late in the game. He could have walked to UFA and chose anywhere to play. He signed here because he liked the organization and how things are going within it. That wouldn’t have happened a few years ago.

Seravalli is reporting that Orlov wants $8 million per year. No thanks

I think Graves is the best fit OA. I know he is a lefty but he just checks so many boxes. Big, physical, strong defensively and on the PK. Has excelled on two high tempo transition teams (Avs, Devils) If he is not looking for Severson term then throw a pick at the Devils for his rights and lock him up.

My dad found the 2017 Hockey News draft preview at his place and gave it to me last night. Looking through it I was blown away by how many guys just never make it at all and how bad the rankings look 5-6 years later. They had Mitts 4th and Makar 5th. And nolan Patrick has to be one of the big draft busts of all time. Injuries just shredded his career. Just hope your scouts are good at their jobs. The last couple drafts are looking promising for Buffalo.

Does anyone know what Andrew Peeke’s metrics were like. I know his +/- was bad. You have to think he will be on the block if Jiricek is ready to go there.
