I don't think Kessel matches his production of the past two seasons. I probably would have done this two seasons ago willing to live with the decline if the production in the first 2-3 years made a material difference. At this point, all you are getting is decline.

Good point. I had no problem 2 years ago.

Connor Hellebuyck was picked 130th overall.

Tim Murray gave up 21 for Lehner.

When we aquired Ror , he was the best Sabre on the team . Now he is payed like one and we expect him to play like it . Not have petty reasons why didn't . Does he need alone time and a therapist?

ROR is the same player he always was

Maybe it’s the expectations ppl had that weren’t realistic?

Were the NBCSN studio crew saying Rinne was a lock to win the Vezina? I say he just lost to the Vezina winner.

They rarely factor playoffs when it comes to voting for these trophies. It will still be Rinne.

Yep. I thought he would get better.

Who cares? Hellebuyck caried my fantasy hockey team.

he will be 34 when the deal ends

and the leafs are already paying 1.2 mil per

4 years of kessel at 6.8 per or 5 years of ror at 7.5 per

What do we have to give up for Kessel?
What return do we get for O’Reilly?

for the record

I believe getting Dahlin speeds up our rebuild at least 18 months


if I was GM the 3 contracts I would try to move this offseason is
scandella, okposo, and bogo

I’m watching Espn2 right now
“Spikeball” is on
Would be perfect tv for “the Ocho”
But it looks like it would be really fun to play!

Eichel for Scheifele. No way Winnipeg does it. Not for the 8 figures man

I followed Hellebuyck all year. What was it about Rinne’s play in the regular season that makes him a lock?

Lucky duck.

botts has eichel and ror

and drafts casey and davidsson right off the bat

no chance he was drafting one of them to be our 4th line center
- homiedclown

We don’t even know for sure about Casey yet...
we sure as hell won’t know about Davidsson for a while

Drafting Davidsson just means he values the position
Doesn’t mean he’s necessarily RORs replacement

Also,
there’s a lot of guys drafted at center who end up as wingers

Not saying ROR won’t get traded,
but i think it’s premature to just ASSUME so at this point too

Yep. I thought he would get better.
- cabin

I didn’t expect a huge jump
But I’d bet ROR would be a ppg player if he had Schieffle’s wingers (Wheeler & Connor),
or Stastny’s wingers (Ehlers & Laine)

Buffalo would be crazy to do that

Eichel is way better then scheifele ( not saying he's not elite )

I’m thinking about going up to Bills TC for the first time in my life to see Allen launch rockets into orbit. I just won’t park in the parking lot

Eh. No, Schefiele is an absolute monster.
I’d rather have Eichel but it’s close
