<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>Yeah because what else is supposed to say? He’s getting a team that isn’t ready to win, and doesn’t have the luxury of favor expansion rules like Vegas and Seattle but will be expected to perform like them. You can say they shouldn’t do it because they want to win now, fine, misguided, but fine. But calling a prospect who’s on a 26 game point streak and one of the biggest ppg players in the CHL meh is, well, a very meh take.</div></div>

Way to much for Crouse. Although i'd expect to over pay a bit, keep in mind he's amiddle 6 guy in arizona and will be a middle 6 guy on any team especially if they're a good team. Savoie could still turn into a top 6 center and rosen is showning he's atleast a middle 6 guy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>No, and I'm one of the Sabres fans that would offer a lot for Tkachuk. What you could do, is keep celebrini as he is likely better than Thompson and cozens in the very near future. You could potentially then move Thompson and his cap hit, then add if necessary, for Tkachuk. You would save Thompsons salary, which you could then use to buyout Skinner. Skinner can block any trade, he's not going to Ottawa. I don't think you can give up a guy like celebrini.</div></div>

First, thankyou for your insight.
Second im not seriois about this, just wondering if ottawa fans would part with thier precious for a new shiny one. More to see how they value Tkachuk, so i dont care about what the sabre could would should do if they got the 1st OA.
I 100% agree with your thoughts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>The only way Buffalo should be interested in Foligno would be if Chicago retained half the contract. They overpaid him because they have no intention of being competitive until their younger stars need new contracts, and they need to hit the cap floor. In that respect, Chicago doesn’t exactly have anything Buffalo wants, because we have lots of young players just like the ones they do. And the key players they have are not the ones they would be willing to trade.</div></div>

I don't necesarilly disagree, but i would say chicago would probably love our draft picks and i would like foligno or murphy for the same reasons chicago over pays them (or will) to be there. But your right i wont be disapointed if buffalo doesnt target them. To your point i wouldnt even listen to much else.

Sujet: Petey gone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>This is such odd logic. You can't possibly compare the Eichel situation here. The Eichel situation had to do with much more than his contributions to the team and Pettersson is a much better player than Eichel.

If you have a team with both Pettersson and Tage? Do you understand that rivals McDavid and Drai? Don't get me wrong, Cozens is a fine young player with plenty of room to grow, but Pettersson is hitting his stride. You make this swap and this changes the team dynamic overnight.</div></div>

I have to call a foul here. Tage and Petey are not Mcdavid and draisaitl comparable. Not even close. I'll give you better than a past thier prime crosby malkin but mcdavid and draisaitl are much better. So much better. Not saying anyones not a star but tage struggles to hit a point a game, petterson is not as good as mcdavid.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>How?</div></div>

So cuz i kinda got dragged into this i will say mika's next to a point a game right now. His 2way play has been pretty good but yes all in all he's struggling, but across the board the team is getting the job done. He's part of the team.

Also you can't ignore the past, what has he done lately is a fair thing to ask but to evalute a player soley by thier last 30 games is isn't fair or logical. He's your 1c, undisputed and has been. He's lead the league in face offs at a few times thats a big benifit. You really don't deserve a good team if your going to complain about Zib's. You could be calgary, anahiem, ottowa, and yes you could suck as much as buffalo! Our 1c is probably gonna get 40 goals, probably won't win over 40% face off's. We're not tearing up the standings, is goals the problem?
As to being soft the whole teams took a turn that way, you fired Gallant. Whole darn leagues headed that way. :(

Sujet: Sabres Key Decision Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kingcong3930</b></div><div>It's not walking anyone to UFA status except UPL.

All of Ryan Johnson, Krebs, Peterka and Quinn would have 2 years left of RFA eligibility after these deals are up.

They would have $11M to spend on 5 to 6 bottom of the roster players to bring in, with the expected $92M cap limit in 2 seasons, and that's if they don't just go with internal promotions at forward, like Rosen and Savoie.</div></div>

So it's not that they're going to ufa its that your closing the gap from now to then and paying them, not an unfair, full price. As if they were complete and developed. Now 2 years from now they very well be openning the season as solid nhl players but for now these guys all have more to learn and a 50-60pt guy with 7 seasons under his belt @ 27 is worth that or more with intangibles, but 22 year olds with 3 season and they just reached those point totals fir the first time....if you cant get a better than market deal i would feel you gave to trade at least 1 of them to open the roster space for some one whose proven consistently over many season they can play a solid game and put up 50+pts.
Also im coming from a point where the teams not going to magically improve just because its next year. So whose your go to face off guy? Whose shoring up your PK? Who's the captain? At the money your offering it better be mitts and JJ but it isnt yet so its hard to justify.
I should say tho that i think your right, what you have here is what will probably happen.
We'll still be one of the youngest teams, we'll have less leadership and the only real experience on the roster will be that of losing consistently at the nhl level.
Here's to hoping im horribly wrong 🍻

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>You are correct, this is a horrible trade idea for the Rangers and the AV's would be crazy to say no. But what if instead of Mika, the Rangers offered up Chytil for the same package, would you still take it?</div></div>

No. Thats ridiculous. You're not getting the face offs, offensive ability or years of experience on top line minutes with chytil. I'm not sure you get more than the first for chytil while he's on IR he's a bad season away from not earning his contract or a next step away from being a great player, avs could use a solid center but im not sure he's the guy.
Now the sabres, trade you a 1st and prospect easy. Your not getting a 4th overall guy for him but they're more in need of what he brings if we've seen his best.
