As much as I would love Ovechkin, Im wondering how much it would cost to acquire Tavares? Less?

Little old but interesting so maybe we're going to get a VP

@ BED. what would you read this as if botterill turned the job down because the sabres wanted to hire a VP as well?

The one thing I’m just wondering is I get the sense – and I know they’ve told at least one, if not two of the candidates – ‘Are you comfortable with us hiring you and then hiring a president after?’

Is odd you would think the v.p. would be the one hiring? And personally that's what should happen imho, to bad patty Lafontaine couldn't be the one but I think that ship has sailed!

Too big of a risk of him not signing next summer when his contract is up. The cost, who knows. It's NYI so probably a 3rd round pick and Carrier.

if this is the case, I would have to assume Pegula should hire the president first

Well I think you would find out if he would consider signing before you made the move. His old pal Okposo is here so maybe?

I started a whole thing last night by suggesting Washington makes a big change this summer after they lose tomorrow to Pittsburgh yet again. Alternative to trading for Fowler/Trouba, who might be just as expensive and might have trouble adjusting from West to East style.

He did that with Lafontaine...

But he wasn't in on the GM hiring so maybe he wants to hire the GM first and find a VP that supports the vision?

I think 90% of the reason Moulson and Okposo were signed was to lure him here down the road.

But still, if it's a sign and trade, who knows with NYI management. It would certainly involve the 8th, Reinhart and possibly Nylander but I'd do it all day long.

Did he? Huh I didn't know that, But Murray was considered one of the best guys for scouting and an up and comer, but I always like Lafontaine!
