If we sign a player like Gardiner then I bet we trade out Bogosian/Scandella/Hunwick/Nelson for scraps to some other team who has room though and wants the vet 3rd pairing. I think Nelson is the kind of cheap RHD dept you keep around. Bogo is injured and I doubt you can trade him. Scandella Is gone though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabills Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Man how big a disappointment was Scandella. I loved that move at the time. He turned out to be absolutely nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turned out to be absolutely nothing. I think he helped stabilize the D in his first year and a half. He seems to be shell shocked now and lacking confidence. If he hasn't recovered from last season he is not worth much. His hometown of Montreal may give the Sabres a late pick for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I expect Scandella to bounce back fully this year and be the useful 2nd pairing guy he has been for most of his career. I think he was having personal issues last year that affected his game, and Housley’s overuse and misplaced faith in him exacerbated that. After a summer to refocus, he will come to camp ready to cash in in his UFA status. Krueger might help as well, if Marco is still in Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Per Jeff Hamilton, a reporter in Winnipeg was on WGR this AM. He mentioned Laine and Connor are a package deal as one will probably not sign for less than other. He talked about possible targets for the Sabres in trade. He did mention EHLERS! But also mentioned he is more comfortable playing LW rather compared to RW. He also mentioned that Jack Roslovic and Mathieu Perreault as targets. Particularly that Roslovic can play Center or RW, but has not been able to break into a Permanent Top 6 Role due to the Jets Top 6 Talent.

I admit I’m only looking at stats, because I’m not too familiar with Roslovic, but how is he any better than Mitts? They had equal points last years and I expect Mitts to have improved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he equaled Mitts’ production while getting only about 70% of the ice time and 33% of the PP time. Beyond that, I don’t know any more than you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Roslovic was the 1st round pick BUF gave to WPG in the Kane trade. The pick originally belonged to STL but went to BUF as part of the Ryan Miller trade. Edited July 17, 2019 by pi2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine most GMs are in mid summer mode, phones on but vacationing somewhere on the water. Dum bass must be on an Artic cruise considering all the heat from the Marner scenario. The odd signing activity may happen but trades probably won't pick up for 3 weeks or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freester Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I don’t see anyway Edmonton gives up RNH. I think the Rangers will have to move some salary to get under the cap. I’m not sure what we would want from the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'd trade Roslo for Casey....might even throw in a 3rd? Roslo will produce if given the time and line mates. Hard to produce on the 4th line seeing 10 minutes a game. Not sure where Ehlers is more comfortable but he played RW in junior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) I can't believe the Oilers made a trade that doesn't look VERY bad. Lucic (750k retained) plus a 3m bonus paid for this season and a conditional 3rd for Neal. Good move by Holland.

No. Mittelstadt would, easily, be the Jets best long-term option at 2C, a position they are most in need (See - the previous 2 deadline deals). They'd need to add a lot more than a 3rd to Roslovic (who I like) to get that deal done. They had similar production last year, but Mittelstadt is 2 years younger and their ceilings aren't comparable.
