Skinner - Eichel - Samson Hall - Staal - Quinn Olofson - Cozens - Thompson Zemgus - Eakins - Okposo Now that's the cup of a carpenter. No, wait, let me explain! It's not my fault. I can imagine quite a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LabattBlue 721 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 What? If I had to guess possible moves made between now and the start of the season, this would not even be in the top 100. Wow! Just wow! 😱 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gabrielor 134 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 This is Dahlin's last ELC year. Time to swap Hutton for someone with a pulse, and shore up the D (TRADE RISTO OR MONTOUR GOD DAMMIT). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know much about the kid tbh, but maybe Toffoli comes over too, never know. Still want Kahun back for that 3rd line spot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarthEbriate 1,544 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hall likes the puck. Skinner has already learned how to work with Eichel and Reino. I'd think this looks balanced: Skinner-Eichel-Reino / Hall-Staal-Olofsson / Cozens-Eakin-Okposo / Girgs-Lazar-Rieder 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they'll run Lazar on the checking line with Girgs and KO and run it less minutes to compensate for loss of Larsson. Eakin between Thompson and Cozens. If Cozens and Thompson are really truly good to go, that line with offensive usage could be pretty decent. Behind an excellent top 6. KA should take a bow - we said he still had time, and he converted quickly. Thought it was going to be a trade, Hall is out of nowhere and awesome. Please get a goalie. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yet I'd still like a guy who can split time with Ullmark. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd figure if they are given more than Sabres feel is right they'll try to move one or either of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JohnC 597 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) No matter how the two lines are configured we have enough genuine top two lines players to put together two excellent lines. It also takes the scoring pressure off of the Jack line and forces the opposition to defend two lines instead of entering each came with the focus on stopping only one scoring line. I still believe/hope that even with the signing of Hall that the organization gets a deal done with Reinhart. Beyond the hockey aspect of this surprising and monumental deal it gives a boost to the hockey fans who have for so long become dispirited and have steadily faded away. As I and others have said patience is a virtue. This is a case where the organization smartly let the market play out and then was able to take advantage of how it shook out. To say the least this is exciting. Edited October 12, 2020 by JohnC 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see Victor getting a major contract I mean he's played 60 NHL games, Reinhart to me deserves between $7.0-$7.5m a season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GASabresIUFAN 2,582 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I’m completely shocked and completely thrilled. A gusty move and completely worth the risk. Now do we keep Reinhart also? Does VO get traded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It actually could work out if he likes it here & wants to re-sign. As he'd be a UFA, there is no reason to protect him as the Scheisskopfen can't select UFA's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
