Brawndo Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Indeed I was. I do believe we have a legimate chance for him. Our top six projects to be much better and Minnesota has to survive the Central Division year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Should we kickoff an Okposo thread? I really have no problem with separate threads for HUGE NHL deals and strong, legitimate Sabres rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decision time Friday when market opens. Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun Don't know which are the 2 teams but we know that Edmonton, Vancouver, Montreal, Dallas among teams very interested...

thewookie1 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 McGinn's agent may have found underwhelming interest for his client at his desired price and has decided to settle with whatever reasonable offer GMTM gave him prior to the deadline. I could honestly see McGinn deciding not to try to grind out an extra 500k to just go and play with friends. Let's say our offer was 3x3.5mil and they were hoping to get 5x5mil. They go around and receive little in terms of willingness of teams to go that high, thus they negotiate with GMTM up to 3x4 or 4x4 and thus settle. It makes sense. Especially if we end up trading Kane, McGinn is a good 3rd liner who can float up the lineup in a pinch and produce. If we can get McGinn and Vesey, regardless of Kane, that tells me either Foligno is a goner or they are not so optimistic of Moulson's return to relative skill.

3putt Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 It would be funny if we did sign him and Vesey and Vesey cites giving up a pick for him as the deciding factor. We get Vesey and the original asset back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say dragging, propping up a bit sure but dragging alludes to him being completely incapable. He's not Moulson during his scoreless drought.
