Per the Buffalo News:


Thomas Vanek-Cody Hodgson-Jason Pominville

Marcus Foligno-Tyler Ennis-Drew Stafford

Steve Ott-Mikhail Grigorenko-Ville Leino

John Scott-Matt Ellis-Cody McCormick

Nathan Gerbe-Jochen Hecht-Patrick Kaleta

I'm ok with line 5 being our line 4 when everyone is healthy. (Hides?)

No, for sure he wouldn't. I was just agreeing that he was a beast for them in the playoffs. With Kopitar missing the first 3 weeks or so as well, there's no way they move a center right now.

Yea it would have to be Leo+ but i can see it happening. Darcy will trade for a center that can win faceoffs.
- Cheeseballin

If a defenseman is traded for anything but a prospect or a 4th liner, or even mid-round pick we woud need to give Pysyk, Brennan or McNabb. I just cant believe we are gonna go into this season after missing the playoffs with almost the exact same roster. Our top 6 is the same

Actually, it's not the same. Hodgson and Foligno were only on the team for short periods of time at the end of the season. So you may think it's the same, but it's actually very different.

The dmen I like are Myers, McNabb, Ehrhoff, and Sulzer. Everyone else can be traded or waived.

They're not moving Richards and they're not moving Stoll. Not with Kopitar out for 3 weeks in a shortened season.

Carter and Richards could easily center their top 2 lines.

Carter may be listed as a center but he's played very limited time there. In Columbus. Where he was terrible.

My bad. Ellis. McCormick.

I saw Pysyk at the WJ Tourney. Liked him. Like McCabe. Excited for their futures, ditto Armia.

Kopitar, Stoll, Fraser, Richardson, Loktoinov, plus Brown and Carter can play center. There loaded with centers. If they are hurting for defensemen they most certainly can move 1 of them.
Forgot Richards. 7 who can play center. I was thinking more Loktoinov rather than Stoll cause it will cost too much for Stoll, but they need to trade a center like we need to trade a center. Loktoinovis in the same boat as Brennan if im not mistaken

Uh he did pretty well in Philly. I believe he was mainly a C there if I'm not mistaken.

Yea I know but still we ended the season with them and we missed. I just expected a bigger change. I like Cody and Foligno obviously but I was hoping for a Ryan type deal this offseason, I think we can all agree we weren't a Steve Ott trade away from a contender

Brown? As in Dustin?? Ummm....nice try. Brown doesn't play any center. He took 39 faceoffs this year. Probably because the center got kicked out of the dot.

So, let's do some math here. You named 7 people. Kopitar is hurt, that leaves 6. Brown is not a center, that leaves 5. Carter should not play center, that leaves 4. They're not trading a center.
