It's gonna take more than a second and third for brown!! Even with Ennis and Pysk
- Stripes77

No way it wouldn't I think thats a bit of an overpayment. Either way though that's a weak second line and we could possibly lose brown after a year

Suckerenko blogs are back!

Yeah, that order of protection expired.

Only teams that aren't competitive trade their captain (Stanley cup winning captain)

I think that's too much for Brown

Besides, isn't Brown a ufa next year? Why not just try to sign him then

Fair enough I forgot about the captaincy. Tough to say

Look, even with his ELC, Ristolainen probably makes more money in Finland than he does in Rochester. If I were good enough and had the means to make that ultimatum (i.e. the Finnish League would take me), I probably would too.

So... When the (frank) is Hockey's Future going to update the damn prospect pools???

so st.louis is ranked 7 at HF but dead last in HP recent ranking.

Shows that not even the "experts" have any idea how good some of these prospects and pools are going to be. Again, the word prospect is key here.

I check there almost daily for that same thing too haha

Vanek for Neal and Kuhnhackl

We retain salary on vanek to have them save money on neal..

Trade stafford to clb for cam atkinson and a 4th

Trade ennis, pysyk, 2nd rdr and a 3rd rdr for dustin brown

The 3rd becomes another second if brown resigns

Neal - hodge - brown
Ott - grigorenko - leino
Foligno - girgensons - flynn
Tropp - porter - kaleta
Scott

Atkinson amd armia in rochester with larsson.
- JVince11

Neal would struggle here, he's been the benefactor of playing on a line with one of the best centres in the game.

And you're selling Atkinson short here (no pun intended). He's someone they think very highly of I doubt they'd deal him and a pick for Stafford

I don't think its a big deal... I'd rather have him play there with adults than the ahl any way... It would waste a year for him to play 35 games as our 6th/7th too...


He can't do a 10 game tryout though because he isn't chl right?


Zadorov can do his tryout

I like him too... clb drafted 3 wingers because their pool is so shallow..

It is just a good idea thag isn't written here every day.....I.e. kuzentsov

I just had to use a disposable razor to shave, because my other razor blades were shot. I cut myself 6 times and I have the worst razor burn.

Wasn't Risto great today? I heard that he had great conditioning and skated very well. May have been a steal.

Lol..Columbus might give us a 4th for Stafford, but that's about it.

And by the time the Sabres are ready to contend D Brown will either have too many miles on him or he'll bolt for greener pa$ture$ as a free agent.

I love informative and carefully written blogs.

I know thag risto, zadorov, and mccabe looked great...

They said zadorov and risto were huge imposing forces... zads was amazingly agile on his feet for how big he is...

They saud risto got beat on a few speed skaters but who reallu cares...

Girgensons and grigo were hands down the best skaters all day too I heard

BUF is going to be sick in 2-3 years. What's the over/under on Vanek and Miller trades?

Was anybody disappointing? Also, I love Zadorav's work-ethic, he will do anything to make it in the NHL.

weve been saying that since 06 tho.. "NVOTNY PAILLE PAETSCH BUFF GONNA BE SO GOOD"

"MYERS ENNIS STAFFORD GERBE MCNABB BUFF GONNA BE SO GOOD"

"ZADOROV RISTOLAINEN GRIGORENKO GIRGENSONS ARMIA GONNA BE SO GOOD"

granted i think we have higher prestige prospects now, but the gm just cant seem to pull it all together when everyone hits their prime

Depends on the day....

Supposedly vanek was offered 8 years at 8m and he turned it down because he doesn't want to be on a rebuilding.

Miller cleaned his full locker out and sold his house in buffalo too...

One day it is that vanek might be easier to resign and the nxt is that miller would be easier to resign...

I bet miller gets traded before the season akd vanek is traded at the deadline as the number one sought after guy

stop being fatalistic and depressing. it's called having hope.

trust me i have hope. i think girgensons might be the best player we've had in a long time, and im really pumped for armia.

just relying on your prospects to be "sick in 3 years" would be silly
