Trading Tuch is grounds for imprisonment

It’s not like I traded him for magic beans

Doesn't matter, you're doing time.

Change Helly for: Krebs, Luukkonen, 2024 1st round pick (BUF) and 2025 2nd round pick (BUF)

To... Helly for: Krebs, Luukkonen, 2024 1st round pick (BUF) and 2023 1st round pick (BUF) and you have a deal.

As long as I bring the Stanley cup home. I will do my time, for the people.

Lol 2 firsts and 2 prospects for a pending ufa goalie? Not even close

Conditioned on he signs long term in Buffalo.

I did this strictly as a rental for Levi in his rookie year. His net after

id maybe see Luukkonen + the 23 1st as fair if Jets wanted the 23 1st over the 24 1st

That indeed would be agreeable

Ya, the Jets need this years 1st. That's a good position for a steal / good prospect.

Buffalo isn't going to have a pick that high going forward as they are just getting better and better.

Devils decline. A team will offer a higher first.

Than 13th overall? I guess maybe detroit, although they seem committed to building more patiently. STL maybe.

I saw a caps fan offer 8oa and a prospect I like whose name I'm blanking on. Even so, I don't see Bratt getting moved for futures regardless of the offer. He'll be a Devil long term.

Buffalo has a lot of talent and good young pieces. They should be patient with what they have, including cap space, someone will fall on their lap.

yeah for sure, this was just for a laugh

Wait for a Devon Toews or Marino type of deal. That’s what they need, a steady influence on the backend without breaking the bank.

As for goalie they are voodoo. Look at the 4 teams left. Anderson didn’t even start the playoffs. Bob didn’t either and was an impossible cap dump 30 days ago. Vegas? Who’s in net for Vegas? Dallas? how many times has Otty been pulled this playoff? They need an upgrade over Comrie and UPL but that shouldn’t come at a huge expense. Especially when Helly hasn’t been consitent year over year and has never done much in the playoffs.

i feel like devon toews deals are sort of a thing of the past but theyve got a smart management group. wouldnt surprise me if they bought low on someone everyone thought wasnt great and he winds up being very good.

You’d think but Marino was a heck of a deal for Jersey. Dare I mention Montour? The Kraken picked up a few nice D cheap.

I have a feeling Buffalo will have interest in Dumba. He plays the right side and is an upgrade over Luby.

Yeah thats fair. Montour for sure.

I cant see dumba being the guy. Just feels like one of those where you get caught paying too much. The GM who bets everything on Tage to sign him at 7 mil, probably isnt going to be the biggest contract offer for Dumba. I could be wrong though

Dumba will probably get 5.5 or so which is not a lot for a Dman in todays NHL. Just stay far away from Justin Holl. LOL.

it's still quite a bit, especially if thats the amount over multiple years.

Yes, but who are you going to get better for cheaper? Dahlin and Power will carry the load in Buffalo. Dumba just need to play in that 4 spot and make opposing forward stay honest when crossing the blueline.

yeah but he doesnt do that well. like dirty hits aside, the guy is not good defensively. I dont know who theyll get, thats the analytics dept's job. But so far theyve hit nothing but net, so im inclined to trust their judgement.

Somebody will become available because of the cap or some teams poor play.
