Sujet: Sabres-Modest Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikeyscav</b></div><div><i>That was his agent that said that, he is forced to say that. Just a negotiation tactic because if the agent says they will be happy in buffalo that gives Buffalo the power. Just trying to suck more bonuses from Buffalo which is fine. Vesey is pretty close to Eichel after playing together before including this offseason in a summer league. I think the Eichel factor and the promise of a top-6 spot keeps Vesey in buffalo</i></div></div>
The thing is that they usually say that if money or term are at stake in his clients situation every team is offering the same amount over the same amount of years. I really hope for your teams sake that he does sign after they took such a big risk I just don't see why if buffalo was a top 3 choice that his agent just would not have at least was unavailable to comment or at least that he and his client are excited to see what the sabres are offering but still going to explore free agency.

Sujet: If we were to trade down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div><i>In a perfect world, Strome + 7th &amp; 20th for Matthews and everyone should be happy. Make no mistake, that's an over payment from the Coyotes but one that may prove to be worth it in the long run when Matthews helps sell tickets as the home boy in town.

On the flip-side, Toronto gets their #1 center of the future. I don't know why people are semi-doubting this? He will be a good one. Might need an extra year to develop as Matthews looks more ready now but either way the leafs aren't winning a cup anytime soon so that development time is fine. Now throw in the fact that they could add 2 solid pieces that could be NHL ready as soon as next year in guys likes Juolevi/Chychrun/Sergachev and a guy like Jones/Fabbro/Stanley with the 20th, they're rebuild is nearly set as they would be solid in every position except for goal tending. Which as Murray and Jones showed, isn't the position you need an all-star proven goalie to win the cup anymore.

Toronto fans, I sincerely hope the Leafs <strong>don't </strong>make this trade as it would improve them greatly if they did. As a die hard Habs fan i hope they keep Matthews as i see it as the lesser of 2 evils from our perspective. :|

Your starting to scare me Toronto, with amount of prospects your amassing. I can't believe i'm saying this but i kind of hope you start winning games as soon as next year so you can leave the some of the prospects for the rest of us.</i></div></div>
Though I agree that both Strome and Matthews are going to be very good #1 centers the point I was making is Lou and Co will try and leverage #1 for everything it worth if they did trade it I would love to see Matthews in a leafs jersey and plan to order mine as soon as it is official but I can't see Toronto wanting to trade and Arizona will have to blow their socks off with the offer or they will settle with Matthews.

Why is NSH trading a 1st for Nolan Vesey lol. He is terrible. So is the FLA offer - FLA wouldn't touch that.</i></div></div>
Nashville is having trouble signing their prospect Jimmy Vesey, Nolan's older brother who's actually good. There's rumours that Leafs will sign him and Nashville could cry foul over tampering. So instead of that mess, just trade Nolan Vesey to them for 1st round pick.
From last season, it appears that Florida is keen on winning now. Bozak and VanRiemsdyk makes them much better up front and they both only have one year left on their contracts but could be resigned. I think all they'd need is a top four UFA defenceman.
Huberdeau Barkov Jagr
Bjugstad Trochek VanRiemsdyk
Jokinen Bozak Smith

Also:
Detroit is trying to dump Datsyuk's salary, Robidas's 3M cap hit can be written off like the Leafs did last season, Cowen's contract can be bought out at reported (something along the lines of) 650K cap credit this season and 750K cap hit the season after.

Chicago is also trying to dump Bickell's contract, they demoted him to AHL last season. Hence the draft picks.

Not too confident about Edmonton trade, though looking at their lineup I think Hunwick would fit nicely with their young blueline and play more when needed. Yakupov who has underachieved is rumoured to be available but I'm not sure what the Edmonton would want. I figured Kadri after comparing stats.</i></div></div>
So because the Leafs may have "tapered" Nashville gives us a 1st????
