North Buffalo Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not sure who Chris Neal is. Maybe he is in their farm system? But Chris Neil also will not be re-signed by Ottawa.TY sleepy before my nite shift, ty correction but you knew who I meant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I think Drouin is still a tad bit overrated, but this does seem like a trade that is going to work out for both teams. Hopefully the Sabres can make a deal or two that looks this good for them soon. Interesting idea... hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I like Drouin a lot, but to this point he's been more flash than substance. Definitely wouldn't be comfortable with that contract for him, which methinks is part of why Yzerman dealt him. I also trust Yzerman a lot more than Bergevin.

shrader Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Ethnicity? Is Montreal really that bad with that? It reminds me of how just about every buffalo born player is targeted by our fans at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Jeff Patterson, a radio reporter in Vancouver, said Canucks want a "Reinhart, Bennett, Strome" type centre for Chris Tanev. Well then, Vancouver can suck a fat dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 we don't want Tanev, he is always injured never plays a full season. And just hand ankle surgery again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'd take Tanev and Boeser for Kane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) That is a boom or bust contract: Is it? Doesn't really seem like it to me. Boom or bust for me would be 3 years, $6.5M Dude, we're not even one year post draft. Did u see nylander at the world Junior tourney? Methinks he's going to be just fine. Very interested to see how he does on an Amerks team not employing Byslma's system It's okay, because Rand Paul is still running around saying dumb ######. :lol: I like Drouin a lot, but to this point he's been more flash than substance. Definitely wouldn't be comfortable with that contract for him, which methinks is part of why Yzerman dealt him. I also trust Yzerman a lot more than Bergevin. Agreed. I'd put Yzerman in my top 5 of GM's, and Bergevin in my bottom 5. Galchenyuck will go play center in Tampa where he will thrive, and Montreal will continue to try and build from the outside in, or they will force Drouin into center, where he will suck. This also means Radulov will be on his way out. Wonder where he goes Well then, Vancouver can suck a fat dick. Think they've established that they can do that in spades. Well, Benning at least can Edited June 16, 2017 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Dude, we're not even one year post draft. Did u see nylander at the world Junior tourney? Methinks he's going to be just fine. He may be just fine, but it's still a valid question. The fact that we got a good player doesn't change the fact that we could have gone in a different direction. I was just curious to see if knowing that drafting Sergachev allowed Montreal to swap him for Drouin changes anyones mind about drafting Nylander. We supposedly drafted BPA with Nylander but defensemen currently have a premium value over wingers (and possible premium over centers) so I wonder if that premium gets incorporated into the BPA formula.

dudacek Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) 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. ????

WildCard Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 “I believe there’s been fire on Duchene for quite awhile,” said Friedman during a Friday morning radio hit on Calgary’s Sportsnet 960. “Duchene and Tavares share the same agent. And I would think the Islanders are probably looking at Tavares and saying, ‘How would you feel about this?’ So I do think the Islanders and Duchene has been a conversation/is a conversation for quite some time. “The one thing I wonder about Eberle is Kelly Buchberger is going to the Islanders, and I know they butted heads at times when they were both in Edmonton. So I don’t know what that means. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Colorado was a team that potentially looked at Eberle. Somebody had mentioned to me they heard a Dallas rumor yesterday, but that one got shot down to me when I looked into it. https://www.fanragsports.com/news/friedman-explores-islanders-interest-duchene-eberle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have no idea where these numbers are coming from. Apologies for belated response. Work + new puppy = ... ... hey, we got a new coach! Yeah -- I was looking at the salary at that time and not the cap hit. My mistake. I later amended but not in the original post. The ridiculous Kane number was the hypothetical conversation of acquiring PKane for EKane+whatever (which now appears to be a different thread, I can't keep up). P Kane is rocking the 10.5 cap hit (incredibly absurd when paired with Toews' equal 10.5 -- unless they could've counted on the cap rising to 100M). EKane should be in the 5.5-6 range unless someone grossly overpays him on an open market (it's doubtful he'll ever get enough assists to get up into the 6.5-7M range).

dudacek Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I predict Drouin is lights out early on, but evolves into a distracting drama for Montreal. I despise players like Drouin. We've all played with them. He is a conceited, smirking, selfish, me-first, unreliable, puckhogging, eye-rolling, excuse-making, finger-pointer who gets away with because of his skills. The Habs only potential saving grace in this is Claude Julien. It will be interesting to see if Bergevin has the balls to back his coach after his stupid decision to back Therrien over PK blew up in his face.

Randall Flagg 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
