No we just wanted to prove that if you guys had actually won your games in regulation we would have made the playoffs

I didnt say anything about Pelletier or Zary though and I didnt say I was moving Eichel 1 for 1 with McMicheal or LaPierre

I think Buffalo would ask for Tkachuk but the Flames could name Tkachuk their future captain
That's understandable but rumors are that Laf and Fox are off the table
What if Vegas includes Krebs?
Texier is pretty underrated. And the Sabres could load up on picks. Laine being the main piece wouldn't make too much sense for either side
I don't think the Washington trade is good from a Buffalo perspective

That’s cool the Oilers would rather play against Mangiapane then Eichel anyways

But you implied that by saying you would do an offer around McMichael/LaPierre but anything from Calgary that doesnt involve Tkachuk is instantly ignored. That's what doesnt make sense to me. Flames 2 prospects are equally as good or potentially better yet since Tkachuk isnt named then they are instantly ignored

You must be talking about Montreal right? Cause the Oilers are top five in regulation wins and I’m pretty sure we are #1 in that stat for the North

Offensively; Hughes>>>>>>>>>>>>Kaako
Defensively: Kaako>Hughes

Hughes is miles better than Kaako

I disagree.

1) You acquire a 1C like Eichel with the goal of being a true contender. Most true contenders are at least 3 to 4 centers deep, at least 2 high-end wingers, good to great defensive core, average to great goaltending.

Eichel
Rossi
Eriksson-Ek
Sturm

JEE solidified himself as a legitimate 2nd line center this year but ideally we have all three of them plus Sturm to be 4 centers deep, and JEE is pushed back into a 3rd line checking role where he is elite.

2) Rossi and Quinn played the majority of their time together on the 67's on separate lines, they rarely played together.

3) I don't see Rossi as a actual fit, or at least he shouldn't be. Everyone and their mother gets so enamored with the thought of getting the other team's top prospect they never stop to think how that top prospect fits into their own system.

The Sabers already have Cozens. Like Rossi he is ideally suited to being a 2nd line center behind a Franchise 1C, which is the exact reason they passed on Rossi in the first place. Given that the Sabers are likely to be able to select that Franchise 1C from either one of Wright, Lambert, Savoie in 2022 or Bedard, Michkov in 2023 they won't have to wait too long to replace Eichel. Having both Rossi and Cozens then becomes redundant.

Boldy and Khovanov then become the smarter return. Khovanov is a B-level prospect but has top-six center potential and upside, he's also the Wild's fifth best prospect and third best center prospect, behind only Rossi and Khusnutdinov. Between Khovanov and Khusnutdinov the only difference is that Khusnutdinov is 4+ years away, has Mackinnon level speed and the higher ceiling. Khovanov is 2-3 years away, is the better goal scorer and playmaker.

4) Rossi's issues with Covid have cratered any value he otherwise would of had until he's back on the ice and producing again.

Don't disagree with that but Mangiapane would also be able to walk from the Sabres in 2 years (since he's currently 25), at least with someone like Dube you have at least 3+ years of team control while you rebuild.

I'd give up Rossi much easier than that. Boldy is the best FWD prospect MN has.

I am, both of those games vs Montreal were won in OT.

Philly is meh, Patrick seems to have gotten worse, Frost is ok - Washington is good

VGK and CBJ could make better offers by not relying on picks to fill out the value. If Vegas added Karlsson glass prospect pick that would be a legit offer

Jerry Seinfeld: That’s a Shame gif

I think Lapierre is overrated. McMichael is solid though. I still think they could get better offers

I find this so funny. As if kakko or Laf are near as good as Eichel. If Drury calls, the trade talk needs to start with Laf. If he says no Laf, Adams should just thank him for the call and hang up.

Karlsson has an M-NTC and I'm 99% sure Buffalo is on his no trade list.

Glass, Krebs, 2 first round picks?

I agree.

Imagine calling about Jack Eichel and saying Kaapo Kaako is untouchable

BUF could just have easily passed on Rossi because they already had Eichel, Cozens, and Mitts as their projected top-3 centers. All they had for high end wings were Reinhart and Olofsson. Picking Quinn and hoping Skinner rebounds makes a lot of sense from that perspective. That would have been 2 dangerous lines; a good goalie in Ullmark; and an average d-corps with Montour, Risto, Dahlin, Jokiharju, and McCabe.

There’s a lot of players “not available”, none of which are better than Eichel.

Also, to clarify, Adams isn’t making the calls, he’s taking them. If you can’t include your top prospect for an elite center, then Adams should just move on. They don’t HAVE to trade him for anything less

This is my point, why is WSH good but CGY is bad?

I agree with most of your points

1.
Eichel
Boldy
JEE
Strum

Boldy ot Rossi could be the future #2 center, but if Im Buffalo, I would ask for Rossi because he has more upside

3. I 1000% agree with this, but Sabres fans really want a center coming back for some reason (not sure why).

Boldy is a wing. He's not a natural center.

Im just going off of the rumors I've seen. I think his injury and him wanting out is lowering his value a little. If Im Adams, Im going to make Eichel a bidding war.

Can he play center? He's listed as a center on CF but drafted as a winger so I assumed he could play both
