Won't Kaleta have to clear waivers anytime he is sent down to Roch.

1way /2way doesn't make a difference .Its just his pay scale

Kane / Reinhart / Ennis
Moulson / Eichel / Grigorenko
Larsson / Girgs / Foligno
Delorian / Hodge / Gionta

Varone knocking on the door...

might be missing a few...but I think they will put Eichel on training wheels for the first 10 games...make sure he's not overwhelmed......Hodge needs to be traded for a bag of pucks...

all n all this is a team that should be in the hunt for 8th place come the beginning of next march...don't think they are quite ready for the playoffs (unless Eichel turns out to be the TRUTH)

You are correct.

However, he's already cleared once before and if he gets claimed, is it really that huge of a loss?

Still picking in the top ten at next years draft with that lineup, imo.

IMO, top 5. Good shot at getting into top 3.

If Hanifin makes it past both Toronto and AZ I want Murray to call Carolina and try to get that pick.

Might be tough having 2/3 top centers be rookies. Seeing as how rough it was on Draisaitl over the first few months of the season, I wonder how BUF plans to address this
- WhiteLie

Let's be honest; Unless Reinhart comes flying out the gate, he will be in roch for the year. So who will be our 2C? Girgs or Gringo? Those two being on a line together, regardless of who gets the middle, could work out very well.
Or terribly, either way we'll find out if Gringo is the real deal.

What do you give them that would make them want to move it?

He cleared because of Darcy's gentlemen's agreement with other GMl's not to claim him. But, if they do now, let them. He's turned into nothing but an IR case.

May seem pretty obvious, but it's better than anything Ted Nolan came up with in his year and a half behind our bench.

I could see Edmonton going for that pick. Drasaitl and the 16th overall pick for this years 5th, only if hannifin is still there.

That doesn't make any sense to me. They're gonna trade a 3rd overall pick and a 16th for a 5th??

If they move any of their forwards, it's going to be for immediate D help. Not a guy that may not even leave college yet.

Drasaitl is the odd man out there. Also he alone would not be enough to get that pick.

But Draisaitl and 16th gets you someone who (right now) is better than Hanifin.

Is he really though? Many of the reports going into the draft last year said he actually projects out more as a winger than a center. Why not just move him to wing?

Their not contending next season and maybe the one after that. West has too many power houses with grown men on their teams. Rookie and sophomore mcdavid better be hitting the gym on a regular basis. Otherwise u got rnc, hall, eberle and yak throwing purses out there to protect you.

Bcz that still doesn't help Edmonton get a top pairing dman. Which is now a need. They could go after Stafford or Stewart as a free agent and that would be an adequate winger to play with the rookies. Gotta give to get. Drasaitl is not really a loss bcz he is the oddman out there

All the more reason to get a vet d-man on that team. Not a rental guy but someone who can be there for the next few years. Could use one in their top 6 as well.
