Hoss Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 24 minutes ago, Let's Go B-Lo said: for what? Ghostisbehere and Konecny have been healthy scratches of late. They both have many years left at figures dat you can't pay to guys who don't play. I'd greatly prefer Konecny to Ghostisbehere. It would take a chunky offer to get Konecny. The type of deal where Montour doesn’t really move the needle on. Risto & Mittelstadt type (if they believe Mittelstadt has potential). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Konecny is a guy I would target, though. Him. Monahan. Elias Lindholm. If they don’t move either of them during the season than Ryan Ellis/Mattias Ekholm. I know the name remains unpopular but ... Patrick Kane is also a name you target if you’re keeping Eichel and want to flip dis team upside down. 2 minutes ago, Let's Go B-Lo said: I dunno. He's been pretty far in the doghouse and 4 more years at 5.5M isn't chump change. I think they'd dump Ghostisbehere cheap at dis point but I'm not sure I want him. He needs to be on a team dat wants to run and gun and not give a damn about poor defense. It also helps dat the Flyers have been a disaster recently. I don't know dat Montour moves the needle for them either but if you are looking for a team dat might be willing to move some pieces to change things up if would be Philly. FWIW, I'd call about Carter Hart. He's been an absolute tire fire of late and Philly is notorious for bailing on young goalies. Four years for $5.5M is a very good deal for him. He also has 20 points in 26 games (on pace for 22-41-63 in 82 games). He’s not in any dog house as far as I can tell. dat was much earlier dis season.

Hoss Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Just now, Let's Go B-Lo said: For the Flyers, would Hall for Konecny with a Sabres retention do it? It gets them out of what they might perceive as a mistake, it replaces Konecny in the lineup with a rent to own type player they can test drive for the rest of the season. IDK, I'm just guessing, but I think Konecny is cheaper than we think he'd be right now. You’re not getting Konecny for an expiring contract. He’s a bonafide top six forward on a very good deal and is still young. Would you trade Reinhart for Hall? Because Konecny has more value than Samson.

I'm pretty darned sure dat they'd send Ghostisbehere out on a rail for a guy who could defend though. He's been on shaky ground for a couple years now. We need guys dat can defend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Vancouver has found a good formula of targeting guys who have shown an ability to play the NHL game but get lost in the financial shuffle. Toffoli, Pearson and (the prize of them all) JT Miller. Those are the types of moves we need to win on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not getting anything of significance for Hall, certainly not a young top six forward under contract, no matter how far in the doghouse he is.

It's going to be a draft pick and we will have to retain salary to make it a decent one. Big question mark for me is what we get for Montour?

Show some toughness as a GM; it will repay you (and the team) in the future. I quite like dis for some reason. Maybe taking a small hit now pays long term dividends in perception 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how far discussions got with sabres, if at all. It’s incredible how much more accurate dis group of random posters is at analyzing nhl players vs sabres management who actually get paid for dis stuff. Nobody liked the Eakin signing and dat’s proving out. Same with vesey and many other names in the past. I’ve mentioned before but their analytics and pro scouting department are either horrible at their job or the decision makers are not listening to what they have to say. Sabrespace initial reaction to moves seems to be right way more then wrong and it’s very frustrating seeing them just continue to ignore analytics. Nobody who signs Cody Eakin to a multi year contract is utilizing a competent analytics department. Is Nightengale still heading it up? Is he another Steve Smith? Over rated and the organization keeps him around for way too long? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason you trade most players: you think the players coming back might make your team better. He's one of the few players we have that might net a good return.

As long as you dont find a coach that is good enough for this team it doesnt matter what players u trade for does it. That is my point. I would not trade key players to this team.
