Fine, perfect. Something tangible. Unlikely, but entertaining. I'll roll with it.

I think the Oilers would prefer Foligno instead of Stafford.

Ehrhoff, Foligno, Sabres 2nd, Sabres 3rd for 3rd overall?

*Visitors need not to flame.

- TheSabresTaco

Absolutely on Foligno. Their top 6 is way undersized to ever compete in the west.

I think ehrhoff/foligno and one of our 2nds would be sufficient. Love the thought of getting both Sam's or even a Draisatal

And again, the Avs will lose because giving up a player like that would be (frank)ing dumb
- TheSabresTaco



looks like they might (frank) up like we did with danny briere in arbitration

My next question would be:

Is Sam Bennett worth more than 3 young guys and a top 4 D for the next 6 years?

Who Knows what ROR wants looks like to me it's going be a money battle part 2 ..

The avs will trade him or he will just test the market and go to the highest bidder
next year

Won't happen the AVS will lock him up

Carrier, Baptiste & Possler all look like top9 guys also
Darcy certainly had his faults, but he did a fantastic job of selling our assets off for top value
Murray has all kinds of pieces to work with to mold the team as he sees fit

- jdfitz77


Not going to get an argument out of me on that . He did leave some nice futures in the cupboard for the next GM.

If he wins, I guarantee he doesn't walk short of 7M. Their totem pole there is

1. MacKinnon
2. Duchene
3. ROROROROROOROROROROROROOROROROOROROROROROROROR
4. Who cares

Those guys are cornerstones. Just no way he walks away unless he truly despises them in the near future.

- TheSabresTaco


With what we have in the cupboard already plus other assets yet to be dealt, i'd say yes. Projected as a top 6 F definitely. Foligno is a 3rd line winger at best and we have 2 more 2nds to boot.

Too much you think?

Speaking of buyouts, and I know it's an old topic..

But was anyone disappointed with the Gerbe buyout? I still don't think I understand why that happened.

I'd start the bidding with one 2nd but I think you'd have to at least throw in that third or another second for them to actually pull the trigger. I mean, picks are picks and you can only put a value on them based on their position. But there's always that chance your pick you gave away turns into Shea Weber, ROR, James Neal, NYQUIST<3<3!!, Zetterberg, Saad and so forth. Sure the odds are in our favor especially because the Oilers' track record outside of the first round is an atrocity... so maybe the value would be in our favor in 3 years after all.

Yea, who knows I guess. We'll be able to take a nice look inside his head once his arbitration deal goes through and the media dig their claws into him.

My original thought was myers/foligno for #3. Oilers need the size overall.

Hate to give them both up, but two top 3 picks would be amazing as a prelude to three 1sts in 2015.

Oh God, anything. Even PKane to Buffalo in 2015.

Let's talk options on where to obtain a later 1st rounder. There's an infinite amount of topics that don't have the word ROR in them AND they are feasible at the same time.

- TheSabresTaco



P.Kane to Buffalo...
Thought u were annoyed with things that have been talked to death
There's a better chance the AVs trade ROR than he leaves Chicago btw

Just not giving up Myers himself for # 3 let alone Myers and Foligno.

I don't think Edmonton trades out . Word is they covet the big german kid.

Agreed but I think the most Foligno + 31 gets you is a mid to late 1st rounder so i was kinda surprised.

Their fan base seems to like him, however i believe they will take whichever one of Reinhart/Bennett/Ekblad is left over.

I'm also thinking Murray may take him 2nd overall, seems like he could be this years Barkov.
