Yeah and that's the part that didn't interest me. Personally, I think we depend on Risto's endurance wayyyyy too much as it is. Brodin would help, but not solve the problem. If I'm paying sports car prices, I want a Ferrari or a Porsche. I think what Minnie wanted was 100k for a fast Mustang.

If Plan B was to grab a project like Beaulieu and wait for the next opportunity...smart.

This a pretty good way of looking at it. As broads pointed out, there's virtually no downside and the upside is schultz level. this is the sort of thing an asset-strapped((frank) you tim you double agent mother (frank)er) team should be looking into.

More like a Nissan Altima. A fine car(I've owned 2), but not exactly outstanding in any way.

I'm starting to understand the GMTM hate. If this is the type of trade that Botterill could make then what could he have done with our former stockpile.

Said the rest of the list was unknown... Not sure why one player is known to be on the list but doesn't know the rest. Looks like Neal will be exposed.

I'm mad we can't know about side trades with Vegas until the awards.

Well, it would kind of defeat the purpose to announce that the sabres traded 2 2nds so that Vegas picked Bogo.

Interesting take:


First of all, Beaulieu is a good defenceman, but he struggles with decision making. He has played on both the Habs first and third pairs this past season and has both found success and struggled depending on his deployment. Beaulieu’s tools are there though and some of his development and decision making problems might be atrributed to playing for a head coach who did not believe in breaking out of the zone by carrying the puck, forcing Beaulieu to act against his instincts.

They could just announce the sabres traded two 2nds to Vegas for future consideration or for a specified player selection in expansion draft.

I'm thinking about going to the NHL awards so I can see who the Golden Knights get.

I heard we acquired a D that leads the league in vowels.

That could work. It would add so much speculation. The fiber cables would melt under the load.

Would you rather have that, or consonants? Some Eastern European mother (frank)er with 6 consonants in a row.

I still don't see how there won't be leaks with whom was selected.

There will be because some of the players selected will be in Las Vegas for the announcements.

Is Ennis your preference for who should go? Seems many hope it's Bogo. I'm hoping for Moulson myself.
