Jokiharju is the only asset they have that fits the Bill. Could Montour not be considered cost controlled as a RFA? Are they looking only for guys on their ELCs? The top-pair thing is relative. Benning apparently thought Myers could be, so........... Link to post Share on other sites
sweetlou 116 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Thinking longer termand contract AAV, which two players do you want to be on the Sabres in three years? Olofsson, Reinhart, or Kahun? Eichel, Cozens, and Skinner are not going anywhere, so who else fills out your top six? Link to post Share on other sites

dudacek 6,924 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure I trade 8 for Boeser straight across. I’d trade Jokiharju and sweetener in a heartbeat. He’s no Thomas Vanek. He’s better than Olofsson, but he is a similar player with a similar game and similar strengths and weaknesses. He’d sure light things up with Jack though.

I agree with @thewookie1 that #8 should be used at the draft, unless it is used to help bring in a legit 2C. To be clear, it would take a lot more than #8 to get a legit 2C, but that is the only thing I'd give #8 for. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not quite sure why the Canucks are trying to dump BB. They certainly have other people they could dump, but maybe he’s the only one that would net them decent assets in return. But, yes, they have cap problems. So basically they are looking for draft picks and/or prospects? The only thing we have in this department is #8. Link to post Share on other sites
Randall Flagg 4,794 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 If we cant get a stud center with a pile of assets this summer, I'd move a pile of assets for Boeser and then small assets for a Stepan or Henrique. Skinner - Eichel - Boeser Olofsson - Stepan - Reinhart Johansson - Kahun - Cozens Would be a good hockey team Canucks fans I've read are pissed all the NTCs and cap space have gone go crappy roster filler 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The other attractive/costly players on their team are unmovable. This makes BB the odd man out. Link to post Share on other sites

Half the board loves Reino, the other half think he's a slow skating wuss that can't produce without Eichel. No sane Sabres fan wants to trade Cozens unless the return is prohibitive. Risto or Miller might be the third piece in a trade for Boeser. Reinhart, Cozens, or 8th overall is the starting point. Anything less is a pipe dream. According to who? I'm not trying to insult anybody. If you look at some of the contracts that have been dealt over the last couple of years, it isn't impossible to move him.
