Schenn?
If StL trades him, what other Centers do they have?
I can’t see him moving, even if it’s for a center
Still leaves them needing another top6 center

I proposed ROR for Schenn and pick #29

I'd throw in Nylander.

Schenn only has 2 years left and I'm not sure if he fits their timeline, although I admittedly don't know exactly where they view themselves

I think there's a lot of under the radar guys. If Girgs just had better hands, he'd fit very well. Bailey has all the tools, but just can't seem to do it with any consistency. I'm optimistic that he'll find a few to bring in.

I'm not giving up on girgs yet.

He can play multiple forward positions, is kinda tough and is sorta fast. Or at least not slow.

Probably not the future captain

that'll probably be the case, Id prefer he start making those moves now though.

I just don't think Bogo is movable coming off of major surgery. I have my doubts that they consider him a guy to just give away as well.

I like Pommer on this team, and I don't particularly like the idea of an Okposo for Eriksson type deal. I'd prefer to hope Kyle just bounces back a bit.

I would hazard a guess that most regulars here are more or less the same person in real life aside from obvious troll jobs.

For Gerbe's sake, I hope you're wrong.

I agree, that line got heavy O-Zone starts probably to offset that but it wasn't a total loss.

CF% 52.31 CF% Rel 2.95 Rel GF% 4.17 PDO 94 in 7 games. I think if you put Reinhart with a winger who did have the puck carrying skills it might work. Kind of unconventional but I'd give it a shot.

- Sabresfan-365


Do we have guys like that though?
Last year i wanted to see
Bailey-Reinhart-Baptiste
Bailey creates space, Sam dishes to Baptiste
Idk about zone entries with that group though
They might be more dump & chase
Which also could work with Bailey & Baptiste’s speed

I like Girgs on the bottom six. I just want a slightly better version of him to play with Jack too.

I think we both know who we'd move this summer but I don't want to start a poop storm amid this pretty good convo going here.

No you're right we'd have to go out and find one like that.

Sure, I won't say his name, but I don't really consider that a salary dump in the same category as the others. It likely brings some salary back along with it.

I think they’re going after Tavares
and would like to keep Schenn either way
He had a good year for them

Mitts- eich- sam
Vanek- ror- okposo
Baps- erod- ?
Pommer-girgs-wilson ideally

I keep coming up with vanek/neal type guy
A guy from Rochester (cj, baps, bailey, malone)
Low end free agent winger (Wilson type)

Why would they move a PPG guy in his prime?

For a price that we'd be okay with, doubtful.

Sure... for what though?
I think they moved him and Bjugstad to the wings...
so maybe O’Reilly?
Idk who they have coming up,
but Trochek looked pretty good for them last year

I hardly watch Florida though
So i might be wrong on a lot of this

I like him too, minus the predatory hits. He's not moving though.

Sure
but if we do that this year as well...
then does it put Wilson back at LW2,
and Girgensons at LW1?

We gotta find a way to knock those guys down
If we can’t bring anyone in...
then E Rod is probably our best option at LW1
Unless we have Okposo give it a try
