Sujet: Big swing Hart is probably gone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lowblocksniper</b></div><div>Honestly didn't check their organizational goalie depth but, this is more about getting what looks to be a clear #1and Replace the starting goalie that probs out for a while
The 1st will be late since it's the Panthers own 1st rounder of this years draft</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lowblocksniper</b></div><div>His thing is more mental with the report I read is severe OCD and germaphobia, sat out a long time and looks good IMO (stats wise, I don't watch AHL) for a guy who missed out on the better part of a year.
Again the pick shoud be mid to late 20's Florida probably makes it out of round 1 at least</div></div>

Knight wouldn't be a #1 on the flyers right now. Ersson has been really good lately, so he will play as the #1 for the rest of the season and they will get to see if he has true potential to be the team's #1 going forward. Goalies aren't much of a need for the flyers so I would much rather have them use the pick or trade it for a young center.

Sujet: Mittelstadt goes Wild
There are so many variables in the Sabres trading Mittelstadt but starting with this trade scenario I'd have to say the Sabres would have to be nuts not to take it, I think it is an overpayment on Minnesota's part and I can't see GMBG offering it. The 1st and 2nd give the Sabres trade capital to fill other holes mainly a RHD.

Getting Rossi still gives the Sabres flexibility at center in case one of their centers goes down or none of their prospects can make it at center in the NHL. As <a href="/users/AntiAnalytics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@AntiAnalytics</a> pointed out what a long term deal might look like, do the Sabres want to go go that high even with the hike in cap next year. I think the Sabres like Mitts enough to want to keep him but at what cost is the question.
The other part for me is Cozens...last year was a breakout season for him but he seems to have drifted back to 2 yrs ago when he had great chances but couldn't bury the puck. Last year he buried those chances on his way to a 31g season. A consistent Cozens and what Mitts can be signed for helps determine what happens with Mittelstadt in my mind.
My guess is the Sabres sign him long term but if this trade were on the table I can't see them turning it down.

Sujet: Mittelstadt goes Wild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alex_K</b></div><div>Probably because I'm neither Wild nor Sabers fan) I just thought that Buffalo has two really good centres signed long term, so they could listen to offers, on the other hand the Wild need a good centre for Kaprizov line and they have assets.</div></div>

Sabres fan here
I agree that this is a good offer

Mitts has been our best forward this year,
and his defensive game has really come around
So I’m 99% certain we try to get a long term deal done with him- probably something similar to what Tage &amp; Cozens got

Mitts is earning himself a spot in our long term core
But again, u make an offer we’d be forced to think hard about
Rossi is a good young player, &amp; the picks on top are nice
Sabres would be very tempted imo
Especially if they have trouble working out a contract w Mitts


Minnesota fans probably won’t like this though
My guess would be that Rossi has shown them enough that they’d just wanna keep him

Sujet: Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alex_K</b></div><div>The main idea of the retool is to become a bit younger, of course Oshie can be in the lineup next season (I hope so), but he'll be 37 and with all his injuries, who knows. Also I think Kuzy needs a change of scenary, he looks disinterested to be honest and the Caps need a cap space.
But that's only my view, would like to know in which direction you think the Caps should go.</div></div>

Kuzy does look off right now, but I don't think trading him at this point would do anything more than anger Ovi and ruin the locker room. As for next year, I would prioritize bringing back Orlov, Jensen, Hathaway, and Strome and let go of Sheary and/or Milano if necessary to open Cap and Lineup space for McMichael and Protas. I'd let Gustafsson and TvR price themselves out of DC and use Alexeyev and Iorio/Johansen as interior replacements, and possibly moving Mantha if cap becomes a large concern.

Sujet: Samsonov to Colorado
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alex_K</b></div><div>Of course not right now. But Samsonov is obviously in Lavi's doghouse just like Vrana (who had tons of potential as well), so if Fucale proves himself by the deadline, GMBM can pull the trigger... again.</div></div>

I don't see how Sammy is in the doghouse. Vanecek is currently dealing with something nagging (I don't think they said what), and called up Fucale as an insurance measure. Vrana, in my opinion, did not have the same value Samsonov does and had played so poorly he was scratched. Samsonov is not near the same level of poor play, and far too many Caps fans have given up on him when he has had a couple bad games, without taking into account other factors. I would expect Fucale to be sent back down at some point in the next week.
