bob_sauve28 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 ###### yup, completely forgot they got Sergachev instead Did they say that yesterday on the radio? Because I also thought that is who they got in the trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I like Drouin [ducks] But Montreal's center depth is going to be what, Plekanec-Danault-Shaw-Mitchell? And their best two defensemen are a combined 157 years old. IDK what they're doing. Exactly. How the hell do they not put Galchenyuck at center, but instead go out and get Drouin?? I'm genuinely amazed Bergevin has a job Did they say that yesterday on the radio? Because I also thought that is who they got in the trade That was the original rumor speculation, but it turned out wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I like Drouin [ducks] But Montreal's center depth is going to be what, Plekanec-Danault-Shaw-Mitchell? And their best two defensemen are a combined 157 years old. IDK what they're doing. They're doing what they've been doing for several years now, and what the Sabres did between 98-02. Tossing an average at best team in front of an all-world goalie and hoping for the best. We all saw what happened when Price went down the season before last. It's what they are and have been (and likely will be until Price declines or moves somehow). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I think the Sabres brass thought there was a good chance Nylander could be Drouin - I.e. a soft, skilled 50-60 point winger. If that's what they believe, then the Drouin trade cements the fact that Nylander was worth more than Sergachev. ???? Lawyered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Per Craig Custance Sounds like smaller trade going down between Flyers and Coyotes. Per Le Brun Believe Coyotes acquired Nick Cousins from Flyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Per Craig Custance Sounds like smaller trade going down between Flyers and Coyotes. Per Le Brun Believe Coyotes acquired Nick Cousins from Flyers Brendan Warren and a 5th round pick. Clears up a hurdle for them on their roster. See Vecchioni, 2nd overall (insert name) and a few others on the fringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre fan Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Bergevin should already be fired. It's amazing what that moron has gotten away with over there Strange how certain GM's keep their job...Jim Benning has really been bad for Vancouver yet still there...meanwhile all quiet on he Western front (or more to the point the NHL front) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Looks like the wheeling and dealing before expansion is under most expectations. We will see what happens leading up to the draft but my suspicion is it won't be as much as speculated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre fan Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) yeah I think deals have been already quietly made between teams and Vegas whereby they (Vegas) does not touch players and they get draft picks in return. No way teams are going to lose good young players for nothing in a expansion draft. Edited June 17, 2017 by Sabre fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way teams are going to lose good young players for nothing in a expansion draft. Unfortunately, this is what we are seeing. Doesn't look like anything good will be going their way except for picks. However, they were in the driver's seat and this is the road they chose. Snooze.

ct fab Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Has to be a lot of activity in the next 3 hours, otherwise teams are going to lose very valuable pieces for nothing to LV. Unless there are a lot of side deals with LV unannounced, which is very possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there are a lot of side deals with LV unannounced, which is very possible They're not supposed to announce those deals until next week I thought? I'm surprised more teams haven't made trades with each other (not LV) yet but there are still a couple hours for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm guessing if there's any substantial trade action, it'll happen between Sunday and Wednesday, as Vegas can still make trades with teams during those days. And clubs will be aware of non-protected lists starting Sunday, potentially helping to facilitate the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) @SunGarrioch Led to believe Cody Ceci has been informed he will be protected. That means either Phaneuf or Methot could be on the move. #Sens (re-tweeted by Dreger) @DarrenDreger Doubt anything "big" happens with the Isles today, but Snow is in a number of conversations, hoping to land a top 6 forward. Team to watch. @DarrenDreger Doesn't sound like there is progress being made as Nashville tries to encourage Vegas from locking on to a player the Preds want to keep. @FriedgeHNIC Word is Tobias Enstrom has done WIN a huge favour, agreed to waive his NMC to help the Jets with the expansion draft. @FriedgeHNIC Because of protection issues, word is FLA's Jonathan Marchessault is potentially available. 30 goals, great contract. @FriedgeHNIC ANA has put Simon Despres on waivers to be bought out @FriedgeHNIC Im not sure of everything involved here, but hearing CAL and ARIZ are working on a Mike Smith deal Who is CAL?

Thorny Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 https://twitter.com/tsnbobmckenzie/status/876129149903097856 Brodin not likely to be moved. They've been talking up these guys getting dealt for months, and nothing is materializing. That'll learn me, that will. Hockey speculation on Twitter is even more often Fake News these days.

LGR4GM Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Prices are to high. A 3/4 defender isn't worth a top 6 forward plus picks and prospects.

Thorny Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Prices are to high. A 3/4 defender isn't worth a top 6 forward plus picks and prospects.Mike Smith getting traded Arizona and LA working on deal Agreed. I think GMs looking to deal D are trying to allow trades like the Hall and Drouin ones to set the precedent, and other teams are hesitant to join that club.
