For example trade Bogo and the SJ 2019 first to NSH for Rinne. BUF fills a need and Rinne likely gets them into the playoffs. Bogo is unloaded and it frees up money for RFAs. NSH unloades Rinnes $7m and gets a servicable defenseman and a first.

Why are you asking me? Botterill is getting paid millions so he can spend all his waking hours figuring these things out.

Moulson cap hit is less in the minors? How? He's on a one way deal. I don't necessarily fault JBOT for not moving him in the exp draft because it's been reported that he wouldn't waive his NMC to go there. What concerns me about JBOT is wether or not he's cutthroat enough to make those difficult personnel decisions.

Risto will not be better with fewer minutes. His shortcomings as a defender are not related to fatigue.

Datsyuks contract got traded, so did Prongers and Clarkson's..... this guys were not even playing at the time. Moulson and Bogo are at least live breathing hockey players. He'll need to get creative like those other GMs, but that might asking to much of his influence as a rookie GM unfortunately. Pronger, Clarkson and Datsyuk would disagree. Moulson will have contributed nothing to this team for the past 2 seasons, same with Bogo, and to the tune of $20m in cap hit. JBOTs should've gotten creative with Vegas to get them to take Bogo (Moulson wouldn't waive his NMC) but instead of moving he ignored history and it was repeated.

I like these moves as well........ however... I'd like to see him be more aggressive in is efforts to move guys like Bogo, Moulson, etc... who are eating up huge chunks of cap space. I still consider this team one year behind where it should be because of his failure to move any of these guys last offseason and instead gave everybody a clean slate going into camp. There was years of film on these guys and they should've been dealt with immediately if not sooner. Now here we are one year later still with a handful of these terrible contracts.

Can't believe there are Larsson apologists. The guy is not an NHL player.... "he's good along the wall and back checks well"... yeah, so are several thousand players who aren't in the NHL.

Last year dev camp was July 8-11. Should be quite entertaining with Dahlin and Mittlestadt. Throw in some Pu and the Harbor Center will be flush with excremen.. err.. excitement.

Depends on your definition of "generational". What's a generation? Generation is defined as all the people born and living at about the same time. That said, "generational" refers to the amount of time between birth of parents and the birth of their offspring. The average age of first time Mom's in the US is 25 years old. So "generational" means roughly once every 25 years. So are any of these guys truly a once every 25 years talent? Gretzky is the only guy that fits that definition. Now, if McDavid is head and shoulders above anobody that comes along for the next 25 years, then yes, put that label on him. Dahlin tho? hmm

will he play in the prospect camp?

Rinne and Dell

He's a decent mix of defensemen taken #1 overall in years past.... a bit of Gord Kluzak and Roman Hamrlik, with a sprinkle of Erik Johnson and Chris Phillips to round out his game. Maybe they should take that Svechnikinoyninov and put him on Eichel's wing for 20 years. Great idea? or Greatest idea?

sold his house now what?

ANA had to protect Bieksa because of his NMC. So they protected him, Fowler and Lindholm... 3D, leaving Vatanen and Manson unprotected. Theodore was exempt. The only way they could keep Vatanen and Manson was if they traded Theodore to the Knights in return for them selecting Stoner. What other choice did they have? If they traded Theodore somewhere else, then VGK turns around and takes one of Manson or Vatanen. The only other option was to trade Theodore for picks AND trade Vatanen before the draft AND protect 4 D (Bieksa, Manson, Lindhold, Fowler). They likely didn't many good offers for Theodore or Vatanen because other teams knew they were stuck. So they would've had to sell low, and would've lost a forward like Silfverbeg (assuming they protect Getzlaf, Perry, Rakell, and Kesler). I'll say this again, the idea of 7/3 or 4/4, is what killed everybody. Why not let each team protect 10 skaters regardless? That was the wrinkle that tilted the scales HEAVILY in Vegas' favor.

Sabres shots, this team might be better than we think
pi2000 replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
That's not unlucky, that's refelctive of a poor system, where shot quantity is more important than shot quality. Housley gets a free pass because the corsi numbers look better... but guess what... the only reason they're better is because his telling them to shoot from everywhere... which results in a low shooting percentage. I'd like to see them generate more high quality scoring chances instead of just trying to bump up the shots-on-goal statistic. -
Reports are that ROR lost his love for the game halfway through the third period.

The protection list rules were unfair... letting teams protectt 7F and 3D or 4F and 4D. Why not just let each team protect 10 skaters? Teams like Minnesota and Anaheim were screwed because they did a nice job of building a deep stable of young quality defensemen. Where would Vegas be without Tuch, Theodore, and Marcchesault? Probably on the back nine at Desert Pines.... but no... the league wanted them to have a deep blueline right out of the gate because that's the most difficult position to build depth organically. As a result teams were willing to give up F assets in order to protect their bluelines.... Marcchesault, Tuch, Karlsson, etc.

The Cup will be tarnished if the Knights win and I will forever question the legitimacy of the league itself.

Pegula should just fold the franchise and then pay the fee for an expansion team.

Pick John Tavares' Next Team -- Update -- JT to Leafs

Stop rationalizing why he might come to Buffalo. Buffalo is the Siberia of the NHL. He's not interested. -
