Trettioåtta Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Any interest in Loui Eriksson as a one year "rental?" A 4.25 cap hit and he'd give the Sabre some more scoring on the wing to go with Moulson and Ennis. Wouls cost to get him. What do you offer? Foligno, 51, both next years seconds?

Eleven Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Wouls cost to get him. What do you offer? Foligno, 51, both next years seconds? Ouch, that's a lot. Let's not leave the cupboard completely bare. That's what got the Sabres into this mess to begin with. They will need some prospects in the system.

deluca67 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Wouls cost to get him. What do you offer? Foligno, 51, both next years seconds? I wouldn't make that type of investment. Maybe a conditional 2nd based on performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Sounds like the Ducks are going to land Anton Khodobin which is really strange. They moved Palmieri and will be losing Beleskey... Could they use Andersen/Gibson to land a forward? Khodobin is a solid NHL backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 @NHLbyMatty: Bill Scott, Oilers' cap guy, at NYR table now. If Edm gets Talbot would they trade Scrivens there and eat some of his money?#nhldraft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 From Peirre Lebrun, FWIW The Pittsburgh Penguins were rumored to be interested in Kessel and yes that’s true, but I think veteran general manager Jim Rutherford is going to slow play it and make the deal come to him and not the other way around. If at all. He wants a top-six winger for sure, whether that’s Kessel or Patrick Sharp or Jeff Skinner, there are lots of possibilities out there. But Rutherfrod is not going to be in a rush and force a dea http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/38701/rumblings-penguins-interested-in-phil-kessel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 It's being reported Toronto is willing to retain $2 million in a Kessel trade. I know many around here hate him, and I still wouldn't give up the assets necessary to make it happen, but a career 70-80 point player is a heck of a deal at $6 million.

I know many around here hate him, and I still wouldn't give up the assets necessary to make it happen, but a career 70-80 point player is a heck of a deal at $6 million. Even at the reduced price, I don't think Kessel fits the attitude/player type that GMTM is trying to assemble. All of his big acquisitions (Kane, Bogo, RoR) are either very physical determined players or a nuisance to play against and give full effort at both ends. Competitiveness seems to be GMTM's #1 targeted trait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to like small players... So Dan Catenacci straight up? Just messing. I would be interested in Kessel, but I'm not sure the assets I would be willing to give up after what we just did this weekend. Nor do I know if Kessel would want to come here (although it's rumored he wouldn't want to leave Toronto while we're the next closest team).

I heard Pillsbury is looking for a mascot. Kessel could definitely apply for that. Kessel does not need to be a Buffalo sweater. I will pass on his passive aggressive aloof attitude and piss poor defensive tendencies! Edited June 29, 2015 by TheCerebral1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 To be clear, I was mentioning this as something that makes a ton of sense for some teams out there, not advocating for a Buffalo acquisition. I simply wouldn't pay the price in assets necessary to get it done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesportsbuff Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 i love phil. and i love the idea of phil in buffalo. and i love the idea of phil being in buffalo even more if toronto is paying for 25% of his 30 or so goals every year. 6m is a steal for kessel. and we'd certainly be able to dump him on another team a few years down the road if salary becomes an issue. we could even retain another 1m of that ourselves.. kessel for 5 mil to somebody should fetch a good return, even if he's 30, 31 by then. i wouldn't give up reinhart because i'm too attached already. but i would trade our 2016 first no questions asked.. not sure what else we'd be able to throw in. probably not much, so yeah, it's a pipe dream haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Malooga Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Kevin Shattenkirk is reportedly on the trade block...but I don't see us A.) Getting another RHD, B.) Giving up many more assets in trade. He would have made more sense for Edmonton than Reinhart did. (Can't believe they only paid 1 less 2nd rounder for Reinhart, as Calgary did for Hamilton.)
