The Islanders are trying the hardest to keep him there, and it just might work from an effort standpoint. Maybe not from a results standpoint because I have no idea what the (frank) they're trying to do other than placate Tavares.

I hope he just signs with them
A whole year of hearing how he's going to the Leafs will drive me nuts
And then if he really does go there...
F that noise!

You're high

Hes no staying lol

I really can't see VGK going into the season with

Stoner McNabb
Sbisa Theodore
Garrison Reinhart

As their defense. Dealt Emelin and TVR.

Could be a good spot to send Bogo?

He's overrated and I don't want to pay him 10+ mil

Bro with the contracts they have give zero chance

Exactly the reason why the Sabres can not get him.

Only reason I see this as a possibility is because they have no right handed d men lol

They have almost 44mil in Cap room next year,
and Nylander is the only significant signing they'll have

Why do we have to sign besides Jack ?

I think he'll be much better than he was with us
That injury clearly bothered him all year

Winnipeg should have a pretty good defense
If their goaltending holds up,
they could/should be back in the playoffs

I think he will be too. The last few weeks he finally started to show some good things.

But only taking a $3,333 per year pay cut is a bit of an overpayment.

You're probably right
But the Jets probably had to overpay to keep him from going somewhere more desirable to play

Nylander will get 7 , marner 9 or 10 Matthews 10 or 11

Enjoy Mother (frank)ers, I'm out with a blonde with legs that never end!

U left off Schmidt, Merrill, Engeland & C.Miller

Currently have 10 NHL defenseman

Nylander will get 7 , marner 9 or 10 Matthews 10 or 11

That still leaves at least 20mil in room with the Cap growing

If they want each other, they can make it work

With Schmidt and Miller probably being in the top 4

I think they find a way to get rid of Stoner.

Still sounds pretty rough to me. No top pairing defenders and only one true top line player. They are going to be really bad.

Stoner for Bogosian

How does it feel to be right about the cost of acquiring a top4 defender?

Feels pretty good don't it

“We are very happy with what we accomplished on the back end. We still want to change things around from an offensive standpoint up at the forwards. We’ll continue to talk to people to see if there’s some fits that can certainly make us better and maybe make us a little quicker up front, but we are happy.”

J-Botts ain't done yet, peeps.

“That’s what we’re looking for for him coming to Buffalo. I think there’s opportunities on our left side right now. I think he’s a guy that can play anywhere in the two, three, four hole. It’s going to be a matter of how he comes in and how he performs." - JB on Pouliot


That means no Vanek imo. Pouliot will be the Carrier on ROR's line.

Kane-Eichel-Reinhart
Pouliot-ROR-Okposo
Bailey-Larsson-Pominville
Moulson-Girgs-Josefson

Been out all day

Just found out we got kevin porter back

See my post above. I don't think Botts is done. Might come in a trade, but it sounds as if he still wants to add to the forwards.

Really happy with this offseason so far. We improved our depth all over by a ton
