It becomes a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy doesn't it? Especially when it comes to UFAs. The majority are 27 when they become UFA, and 99% of players aren't going to get better after that point, and many will start to get worse, quickly.

Oshie, was what? 30 last year?

Yeah, I would be worried about his health #1.

He will score goals as long as he's healthy, but you can tell he totally tuned his physical play down this year, which led to 75+ games and his almost career high numbers.

Talk of a high priced player between the Sabres and Stars coning our way.

Jason Spezza is a high priced player.

What if we took Spezza for a year, but the trade was as follows:

Spezza
Honka
1

ROR
Bowl
4

Nothing exciting about taking Spezza. But it's someone Stars want to dump. He brings leadership, and provides a buffer for Mittelstadt for a year.

Honka was talked about before by me, the Sabres called but didn't go anywhere from there. I want no part of Spezza and if they move ROR, we could get better back then that.

No clue why Dallas ever does this, but it's fun to think about.

Lets backtrack to 2015. If you get first overall do you move McDavid for Marner and Reilly ? or Eichel and Risto ? If we get 1 you go up to the podium and make the pick.
- Pegullaville

How about Galchenyuk and Subban? Just because there's been a run of players that haven't busted at #1 doesn't mean it will continue forever. You can't think like that.

Give me Gallagher and Pacioretty for O'reilly and Okposo straight up

There goes that Dallas Stars rumor

Why? He wasn't the GM.

You should look up how old those two players are and then consider the lock out

Wouldn't mind adding him, I think he's still got some left in the tank. Doubt it happens and attitude doesn't seem to fit the McBeane plan, but who knows.

TO was a bigger draw than Dez.

You don't understand how good TO was and then you mention the entertainment factor.

Dez is no where near the draw TO was.
