... Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 thewookie1, on 24 Feb 2016 - 12:30 AM, said:As in good good, or I need to adjust my value. How I saw it was McGinn(50%) + BUF's 3rd = BOS's lower of 2 1sts and Franson(50%) = 2 2nds down the line thus I just took a bit of leeway and just said this years EDM's 2nd which BOS holds. Good, as in I think that's a good prediction. A very possible trade IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Something unexpected would be the most fun. How about: McGinn and a third to the Panthers for Mike Matheson Pysyk and Legwand to the Stars for a first Moulson to the Islanders for a pack of hockey cards. Subban and Galchenyuk for Malkin and Pouliot Damn, now that would be a fun trade deadline day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I like the Staal idea, but I hate it because I want to trade Gorges and McGinn to Chicago Last I heard Eberle isn't going anywhere because of his chemistry with McDavid. But, let's say we throw in, I don't know, Ullmark in place of that 2nd for Hall. Eh? Maybe not, but McLellan went off tonight on the entire team. Some fun stuff below: Mark Spector @SportsnetSpec 1h1 hour ago McLellan: "I'm really concerned about the spirit of our team right now. Really concerned." Mark Spector @SportsnetSpec 1h1 hour ago McLellan, asked about changing the commitment level of some players: "Maybe we have to get rid of some." Mark Spector @SportsnetSpec 1h1 hour ago McLellan: "It's got to change, or we've got to make huge, huge changes." Mark Spector @SportsnetSpec 1h1 hour ago McLellan: "There were some (players) who should be embarrassed when they leave here." I know we've heard this all before coming out of Edmonton, but with an entirely new regime from president on down, and maybe even...*dons tinfoil hat*...some NHL pressure to not waste McDavid, maybe they actually will make real changes.

There is literally nothing more I love in hockey, other than the Sabres winning and a Boston tire-fire, than an Edmonton tire-fire. I ###### loath that place. This is just hilarious to me. Thorny was saying in the other thread their 0-5 and have lost 8/9 recently. The fact that the Oilers are better at losing than teams trying to lose, yearly, is just too funny for me. There will be huge changes for them, there has to be. RNH, Yak, and probably one of Eberle/Hall are all gone. In other words, they won the lottery 4 times, and failed 75% of the time to create a cohesive roster; too early to tell on McDavid's go around with Edmonton. That. Is.

GoPre Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) St. Louis has Steen and Eiliot on the IR. Both are expected to be out for a month. St. Louis is 3 points behind Dallas for the division lead. Could see the Blues going for McGinn and Johnson. Jack Allen (goalie) was activated from the IR a few days ago. Something to pay attention to. Edited February 24, 2016 by GoPre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious Fans definitely root for different reasons, most of which I thought I knew but the last few years have made strange bed fellows. I got nothing but love for the oil. Don't know if it's the colors, the cool logo, the Gretzky factor, or what but they don't bother me in the least. In my view skinner is damaged goods Maybe I'm in the wrong for doing so but I view him almost as identical to Ennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabills Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Maybe I'm in the wrong for doing so but I view him almost as identical to Ennis. Wow, that's actually really close: http://dobberhockey.com/frozenpool_compare.php?compare%5B%5D=2198&compare%5B%5D=2408&sent=go&games=YEAR%3AR%7CP%3A201%5B34%5D (No idea if that link will work) Skinner is younger, so thats something, but if they're that similar I'd rather forget Skinner, let Ennis take the year off, and hope he can get it together next year. It was a lost year for him; I think it takes a while to get used to Bylsma's system, and he's been injured so much he hasn't had time to learn it. I might still pull the trigger if Carolina is really desperate to get rid of the contract and will either A) Give me a top tier prospect in addition to Skinner or B) retain some of the salary. I could also see sending Ennis to them as a cheaper, older Skinner who I'd be getting, and also getting back addition picks or prospects.

Derrico Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Pretty simple here guys. All you have to do is predict: a) The biggest move the Sabres make at the deadline b) The biggest move across the league Go ahead and get creative with it. Throw Stamkos around, trade P.K. if you want. Let's see what you've got. For me, I'll go with: a) Zach Bogosian, a 2nd, and Zemgus Girgensons to the Oilers for Taylor Hall b) The Habs trade away Max Pacioretty to the Ducks for picks/prospects and Cam Fowler I like ya Wildcard.

Hoss Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 My predictions: Eric Staal to the Rangers for Chris Kreider. Other pieces likely involved. Sabres trade one of Foligno, Larsson or Ennis. They also ship out Franson, McGinn, Johnson and Legwand. Fun fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
