Yandle, Gogs and Fowler are your best bets chilly.

The Ducks have a lot of work to do this offseason. Until he signs his contract I'll still consider him potentially available.
- chilliard77

Never happening. Hes our ristolainen. He absolutely will not be traded

Solid defensive D man and blocks a lot of shots.
- SABRES 89

Maybe we can take advantage of Jim 'Drunk at the wheel' Benning

Agreed. Stamkos is way more attractive imo.
- mhp

Sabres won't blink at 10 a year for him

Hes not available. And I dont know why people think he is
- MCGUIZZY

I would trade risto for him hides lol

And to think I was one of the ones that wanted him as our GM

I would trade risto for him hides lol
- GERBE!!!75PTS

I would as well.

I would be happy if we drafted Chychrun and signed one of Goligoski/Yandle. I also completely forgot Jason Demers, who is another potential under the radar signing that I would love.

You are crazy bro lol


I would trade #8 for Fowler and Rackell tho...

I would NEVER trade anything close to the #8 For Fowler. Look at what the NYI traded for Leddy, who's a better than Fowler. I would trade #8 For Shattenkirk, he's all that. 89 - thanks for your insite, but, you're kid of covering all bases here. If we draft Pugula's family friend at #8 I say it's a huge mistake. He'll be a bust unless we can teach him hockey IQ. Maybe it can be taught??

This is where you find value adds.

I'd be ok with adding Fowler but not for the 8th. You could find similar value from a cash strapped team that needs to clear cap for less than the 8th.

I completely agree, if I were Anaheim he would be the last player I would trade on that team. But you never know what could happen, this is the same gm that just fired Boudreau and replaced him with Carlyle.

That's a little more interesting. Still not sure I would pull the trigger though.

That made me so happy the feels so strong right now

If we sign Stamkos I will not say anything negative for the whole year I promise even if we suck ass

You lost me there. I only talk about what i'm told, i'm not going to talk S$$T just to talk it and i'm not making this stuff up, i'm not that smart.

- chilliard77

You would be getting a top pair (on this team) defenseman and a 20 goal scoring winger to play with Jack. I would pull that trigger

That made me so happy the feels so strong right now

sometimes money doesn't always work and if the Tampa moves Bishop, it changes a lot of things. Don't forget the Leafs as well.

I wonder about the timing of all this. If they actually think they have a chance at Stamkos I think they stay at 8. If we see a big deal at draft I think they must feel they are out of Stammer.

Every scout on the planet says Chychrun is a high quality prospect. Why do people here consider him a bust already?

I have no clue, because he looked bad in 1 game I guess?

That makes sense. Somehow Clayton Keller is a God amongst men and Chrychryn is garbage.

Took a step back this year when people expected him to continue to improve, drawing comparisons to Bogosian. A defenseman who is above average on every facet but leaves something to be desired offensively. Can be a #3-4 on a cup winning team.

Not that I agree....But...Mackenzie has him ranked at 17..

Honestly if juolevi is off the board I wouldn't be mad if we picked him at 8. Keller will go in the 8-12 range. Looks like Parise 2.0, who by conincidence also went in the middle of the first round.
