Sujet: Eichel Kuznetsov flip rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ramus_Dahlin44</b></div><div>Bro what are you smoking these trades make no sense.</div></div>

In five years, the odds are about even on whether Buffalo ends up with the best center in one of these deals. Right now Eichel&gt;Kuznetsov&gt;Kotkaniemi&gt;Lapierre. But for how long?

Samsonov and two firsts are padding. Miller for Kulak and Fleury gets Buffalo's defense younger (Fleury) and gets MTL to bite on Kuznetsov by giving them a little more offense so they feel they can make the playoffs and it's worth adding a top center.

Hagelin for Girgensons is about even, but Hags is Swedish and has a Cup ring from Pitt, so the intangibles fit Buffalo better in terms of leadership and language on a young team with a lot of Swedish kids.

Guys in taxi squad are new top prospects.

Sujet: 3-way trade with WSH and BUF
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Showing you can be a winner, doesnt mean he doesnt have an attitude, and he's Russian theirs a stigma for a reason. The Sabres locker room doesnt need more toxicity</div></div>

Listen, my number one interest is Jack Eichel, you know what I mean?

I think this is a great return. Hockey players are often jerks. There's no way around that. If someone is on the trade block, he's either a jerk or he's not that good at hockey. If you want to take Kuznetsov out of that deal and throw in another 1st instead, I think Columbus gladly accepts keeping both 80 point centers. They might insist on tossing you Nyquist for cap reasons, though. Great character guy, but coming off a year-long injury it's hard to know how much he can still do that hockey.

Sujet: Fair deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Dunn a 1st or 2 2nds, Chychrun is like untouchable, Weegar not interested in, Reilly most likely wouldn't come to Montreal as he was drafted a Leaf. Orlov not a top pairing guy IMO.

TL was a typo, I fixed it lol. I also added a bit more that IMO would push us to contender status. But as you can see we are like 4-5 good pieces short. I forgot to add a good GM and Head Coach.</div></div>

Sounds like the Habs have the pieces for Kuznetsov and Dunn. Wonder if WSH could throw in Jensen for a decent RHD prospect or a very good forward prospect. Then MTL's GM has solved all their roster problems and all they need is a coach.

I think Orlov is a top pairing D, but I hope the Caps find a way to keep him, given how well he's playing the last couple months.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>TBH I think both teams decline, but it would be much easier for Washington than Montreal. Montreal declines because we are further from a cup than adding Kuzy, so giving up a good young center plus a 1st doesn't make a lot of sense. Washington declines because lets face it it is just a bad offer for them.</div></div>

Kotkaniemi's got some potential, and a mid-first is something. You should see some of the other Kuznetsov trades on this page. :)

eta: I hope the Caps keep their team mostly together, but I also didn't think they'd trade Vrana, and that happened. The new coach has benched Kuznetsov almost as much as Vrana now. What else would MTL need, to compete? (not saying WSH delivers all of it, but I don't think Kuznetsov for Kotkaniemi and a 1st is that unrealistic.

Sujet: Dolan mandate -- All in to WIN now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhroblak</b></div><div>I've been bombarded by too many people I can't tell what's sarcastic and what isn't anymore. I would've gladly apologized if you stopped at that first paragraph, just saying.

Resentment for Dowd? Guess you ignored the parenthesis but whatever, not the most important thing. It's more the fact that his body was turned completely away from Vanecek with Dowd already on top of him. If you could then maybe you could logically deduce that only Dowd was on Buchnevich's mind. as far as I know, squirming is the natural reaction to get someone or any other topheavy weight off your back. Contact? Absolutely. But that wasn't Milan Lucic on Ryan Miller lmao. Losing your mind on incidental contact like that is like watching a referee lose his mind and eject an athlete for contact with refs when subject player is in a scrum and instinctively perceives any touch as from an opponent.</div></div>

Cool. Couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic either. Hope Panarin is okay soon, and hope Dolan chills out and lets his new management team do their job.

Sujet: Dolan mandate -- All in to WIN now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhroblak</b></div><div>Or maybe just a guy who squirms on the ice when Nic Dowd pins him...
(not that Dowd did anything wrong)</div></div>

I mean, we're commenting on a Rangers fan's post trading for Tom Wilson, with the name Dolan in the headline, the week after Dolan fired his management team for not hating Tom Wilson, and/or not pretending Wilson punched Buchnevich in the head when multiple video angles show he didn't. This is a thread for jokes, not more pointless agitation.

But you want to try to dredge up resentment for Nic Dowd? Nobody's perfect, but by NHL standards, he's a really nice guy who focuses on faceoffs, defense, and penalty killing. Haven't seen him mix it up much. Does he help shove Buchnevich when Buchnevich kicks his goalie? Of course. Does he try to hold him away from the goalie to keep Buchnevich from starting a fight? Sure. Could he predict that Wilson would give Buchnevich a couple shots in the ribs as payback? It doesn't matter. You don't mess with goalies in hockey. Their pads are made for stopping pucks, not skates or sticks. They're important to their teams. Kicking at Vanecek was a bad move by a frustrated player on a team that didn't expect to miss the playoffs. It predictably started a fight.

Could the refs have given third-man-in penalties to Wilson, Strome, and Panarin on the sequence? Sure, but it's over, and the game did not matter that much. Could they have given Dowd two minutes for roughing? Only if they gave Buchnevich an initial double major for roughing, maybe with a ten minute misconduct added, for kicking Vanecek. Skates are made of sharp steel. Fists aren't. Get some perspective.
