GASabresIUFAN Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I still like Risto and McCabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 There literally isn’t a single player other than Eichel I’d arduously advocate for keeping. Scandella? I've liked bits and pieces of Falk. There are some bottom-half-of-lineup players for a good team, but, man, the top shelf is pretty empty. The plastic tray of Fudge Stripes is damned near empty. Arduous is the operative word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few other players on the roster I like well enough, but Eichel is the only guy I’d be 100% against trading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Hard to blow it up completely with the TM contracts to ROR and Okposo. However, the only other guys with long-term deals are Jack and Risto and this is a good starting point. Everyone else is flexible. The longest other deals are Bogo and Scandella and they have 2 years left. I'm keeping Scandella. Bogo I'd still ike to buy out if we can't trade. Because of this Jbot has plenty of room to maneuver. Ullmark, Mittelstadt, Guhle and probably Smith in; Lehner, Kane, Gorges, and Josefson out. Re-sign Kane and trade Larsson or Girgensons to make room for Mittelstadt. Nylander makes the team, dump the remainder of Larsson or Girgensons or let Pouliotb or Wilson walk. In the mood for a block buster, trade Reinhart to make room for Mittelstadt and fill a hole elsewhere.

pi2000 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Winning isn’t important, though. It’s about the players liking each other and the coach. Wouldn’t want the expectation of performing to/for their contracts to be a distraction. Exactly. They're all getting along really well, coaches and players, enjoying their Pegulacoin together as one. That's a true team, and we as fans, should appreciate that.... wake up sheeple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the prospect received in the Kane trade. thats 7 skilled players added if you include Nylander. With the Cap going up substantially (rumored) i don't see a need to buy out Bogosain.

Thorny Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Wouldn't you have to know the return? I should say, for any reasonable or likely to happen return. I’m not trading Jack Eichel for anyone any team is going to trade. I suppose there are package deals to consider, but I’m not sure the list of players I rank higher than Eichel for franchise building value extends far beyond McDavid and Matthews, when taking into account age as well. And we know those teams aren’t offering those guys up. need room for Dahlin/Zadina/Svechnikov or Tkachuck as well. Plus the prospect received in the Kane trade. thats 7 skilled players added if you include Nylander. With the Cap going up substantially (rumored) i don't see a need to buy out Bogosain. Whether or not we buy him out, I’ll be very disappointed in Botterill if we enter into yet another season with Bogosian penciled into a top 4 role.

JohnRobertEichel Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 So should we expect the return from Lehner and Kane trades to be better or worse as we get closer to the trade deadline? I'm getting anxious about not having these two guys gone already. It would be so Buffalo for them to get injured before the end of February.

Theoretically their value should increase closer to the deadline as demand exceeds supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I remember Joe. I should say, for any reasonable or likely to happen return. I’m not trading Jack Eichel for anyone any team is going to trade. I suppose there are package deals to consider, but I’m not sure the list of players I rank higher than Eichel for franchise building value extends far beyond McDavid and Matthews, when taking into account age as well. The Nordiques/Avs traded a petulant Eric Lindros to Philly for the Flyers' future and ended up with a couple of Cups to show for it. And Philly ended up with.... not nearly as much. Don't knock package deals. I'm not advocating trading Jack away like that, but if you're looking at possible deals I wouldn't dismiss a top-player-for-a-package-of-prospects kind of deal out of hand.

Derrico Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Called this game correctly. Jbot the clock is ticking. Listened to housley interview on wgr on the way in. He said were going to really start evaluating things going forward from now until the end of the season. I don't know but just the way he kept saying it makes me think jbott will be busy over this bye week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
