I doubt we give Boston much of anything. If all Jokiharju can muster is a third rounder we may as well keep him.

Skinner doesn’t want to play in Seattle, they probably won’t buy him out now no point won’t be able to find anyone to replace at least 25 goals.

I don't think Helenius is playing here this year, he signed a 1 year contract in Finland.

This team is legitimately worse than last year

Is reality looking any different? lol

You'd be correct, and it's disgraceful. Overflowing with assets to improve the roster and now I'm questioning whether or not this team will finish last in the division. They'll just give the 3C position to Krebs, Re-Sign Jokiharju, keep Skinner. GM simply does not have the guts to ever improve substantially and is fully ok with waiting half a decade for our prospects to graduate

Or not using the cap space they would acquire by buying him out.

Adams is a Pu$$y

I tried warning ppl here but got yelled at for being doom and gloom, Adams isnt desperate b/c hes not in charge. Malenstyn is who cooked Appert in the playoffs in the AHL. He's also a fast and aggro guy. This is clearly a move driven by Ruff and Appert.

Like i have no doubt the Sabres will trade one of their top prospects. But its not gunna be for Ehlers or Konecny. Its gunna be some third line centre lindy and appert love. bet the farm on that.

I'm working on a acgm for tomorrow; anyways I looked at the minutes and Malenstyn plays more minutes than Krebs, esp. in the D Zone, so he could be 3 C and Krebs stays at 4 C.

Why does Line 2 LW have to be a trade? They can try and sign a FA, and at worse go in house w/ Kulich or Rosen.

because no actual top six forward is signing here as a FA.

If you go with a rookie in the top six again, you have to be willing to admit you're not competing this year.

I consider them mid 6 Benson, Kulich and Rosen, they can switch. I don't think they're a contender anyways, even if they get a FA, that's all bs talk to calm fans. I think they should play a Kulich or Rosen, they don't need to play in ROC anymore. There will be ups and downs w/ them, but it needs to be done. As for Playoffs, that can be the goal, and if their best players are their best players they'll have a shot. If Tage, Cozens, JJP don't produce, they're not going to the playoffs anyways. Also, I'd keep Skinner on the 3rd Line w/ the new C.

Malenstyn is most likely the 3 C, you don't trade a 2nd for a 4 C, esp. when they still have Krebs.

He doesnt play C lol. hes a 4th line winger. We traded a 2nd for greenway, hes also a 4th line winger.

youre operating like this isnt one of the worst run north american sports franchises.

That might be even worse lmao

That was my bad, I don't even know him, it said C and LW, I assumed he was a 3 C. Looks like he's just a younger Girgs.
