honestly, im more hyped about pominville coming back (he put up legit numbers 5v5) than scandella


like swapping out ennis/foligno to have pommer in there is pretty good even at that cap hit


The only thing now is, does scandella push gorges out...or mccabe as part of a bigger trade

I can live with Pomminville at $5.6 for only two seasons. With a team like this, term is far more important than salary. And right now, nobody other than Eichel or Ristolainen should be locked up for more than four years.

I think Pommer replaces Gionta. With 2 years left I'm good with it since I believe that was the same amount of term as Ennis with a bit higher of a cap hit. I'd look at Moulson if we're worried about cap.

Does Pommer play 3rd line or can we move Samson to 3C where he belongs?

Kane - Eichel - Sam
Bailey - ROR - Okposo
Zemgus - Larsson - Pommer
Moulson - ? - Gionta
D-Lo

Hmmm.... I don't know if Pommer could keep up with Kane and Eichel honestly.

He wouldn't have to. His MO has always been being in the open spot.

Killed over trading Ennis and Foligno? We were fine on cap, we have room to maneuver, it was a good deal by us. TM might have gotten killed because he probably would have given up a 1st whereas we gave up a 3rd

Agree this is a positive move and i'm the first to say I never was a Pommer fan but this team is different now and with Eichel and Okposo our RW looks solid. I know Eichel is a C.

If McCabe got traded Botteril really would be shaking things up. Personally I like McCabe's game, and I think taking him out would hurt the defense that we're trying to make better. Plus, McCabe played for Housley at the WJC and I would think PH would have some say as to who he wants on his team.

Murphy has a history of some sort of injury or injuries.

Why do people want Sam back at Center.... he hasn't played well there at all.

At least at RW he has been a 20 goal scorer and gets more minutes. I don't want him getting 3rd line minutes with guys like Larsson/Zemgus on his wings.

Put him with Eichel or ROR and his play will blossom.

Of course. Whether that's this year or next. But Scandella is a 2nd pairing LD, not a 3rd

Scandella very good.

Pommer....very very bad, especially with that contract.

Good trade fro the Sabres but need to get rid of Moulson, cant have him and Pommer on the same team, lots of cash tied into usless players

Pommer isn't as bad as you think. Advanced stats back that up.
