Im ok with Bobby Ryan if the cost is right.

His contract is pretty meh, but i think he would be a great fit with both ROR and Eichel at Center.

Ryan
ROR
Eichel
Reinhart
Vesey

I don't mind that in our top 6.
- ImThatGuy

If he was signed for 4 more years I would. That's going to be a bad, bad deal by then

It will be both too long and too much. No reasonable contracts are given out today.

Unless it is a meh player

i am fine with either mcginn or okposo as long as the contract isn't overpaid and too long
- IndianaSabresFan

Good luck with that. The "top end" of the UFA pool almost always gets overpaid and for too long of a period of time.

I'd almost rather Murray dig into the depths of whats available and see if he can find a gem or two at a reasonable price (like NJ did with Stempniak last year).

Ryan over most of the FA out there this year. Sign Vesey and trade for Fowler. Save the $$ for Tarvaras and continue to grow this young club!

Trade E Kane (My man Bobby Ryan takes his spot).

Done

Is Murray trying to create team USA or something.

Are they going to pull a Mighty Ducks, but in reverse?

They go into the locker room, being badly outplayed by the big bad rival.

Bylsma gives a rousing speech equivalent to Ducks flying together and then throws all the guys a team USA jersey, and then shock the world as they come out in the third period in Team USA jerseys instead of Buffalo jerseys and the crowd goes wild.

Callahan & Ryan........

Ryan will be a great addition to this club! Grab Brown for a 3rd liner!

USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy 4th Weekend Boys!!!

I have an unreasonable amount of hard on for American players as well, but the money those two make, (frank), no.

Now Parise, Pavelski, 2010 Backes and Kesler, 2006 Drury and Modano and so on and so fourth.

That's what I'm talking about right there.

Edit: St. Drury

If they retained a mil and a half I would. But Ryan is barely eclipsing the 20 goal mark now at 29 years old

Taco,
I'll take B Ryan over E Kane is an heartbeat! But I hear you on the age of some of these US players.

That'd be bad ass.

Broads,
Ryan is a great guy, that plays a nice 2 way game (both on and off the ice - just had a baby). If we can move E Kane and slide Ryan into that role with ROR, we are a better club!

I'll take Kane over Ryan all day long. Kane seems to be a knucklehead but he busts his arse on the ice and the production differen isn't that great. Ryan also makes more.

Thats because Kane has not hit UFA yet.

Kane will demand that kind of price tag in two years.

You opinion, I respect it. But Kane is not a team player, somewhat loner T times during road trips Etc......

My new top of the list WTF proposal.

To Boston - Barrie & Landeskog
To Colorado - Chara (Boston to retain some salary), Subban, Griffith & a good pick or prospect.

hmmmm..


hmmmmmm....

Interesting. I think you need a Kane type of guy in your top 6 for possession driving and a physical presence to free up space for your skill. I'm fairly certain Bobby is missing that in OTT (is not going to STL).. and a good center..

Good luck with that. The "top end" of the UFA pool almost always gets overpaid and for too long of a period of time.

- HonkFortheGoose

i would look to trades.. and signing vesey and risto first

Thats because Kane has not hit UFA yet.

Kane will demand that kid of price tag in two years.
- ImThatGuy

Sure, but we're talking right now. If nothing changes with Kane I get his value back up and then re-examine next offseason.

- Irish 14

I agree. But his contract will still be large when we need to sign Eichel/Reinhart.

I think Vesey needs to be priority #1.

this only works if lehner and foligno can switch equipment during a huddle late in the third to allow for the knuckle puck

Surprisingly he does. He's just slow. To his credit, he's a hell of a possession driver.

if he isn't a huge distraction i say we keep him unless someone blows our socks off with a trade. then tdl in two years... boom
