Oh man but did you see Vivek Gabor at the World Juniors!?!?! He's gonna be a good one.

Jacques Beaufort is another one to watch move up the board

don't forget, he'd still need to be signed to a contract extension
- Michael Pachla

Sure that's fine

Now that we are getting Dahlin, the other Swede D I am having a brain fart on remembering his name, the other young D's in the pipeline, mostly from college, I can see him included in a deal/package that gets them a top winger but it has to be a difference maker.

Pilut? Only other Swede D we have signed. Signed as an UDFA. He's not getting traded.

Yeah, but no, 89 said Guhle was not untouchable and I was rationalizing how he could maybe be dealt if that was true.

do you really think guhle will be ready for top-pairing minutes this season?
- Michael Pachla

By mid season, I think he can.

I think that's asking a lot...a lot of pressure on him, dahin, mitts on a team that finished 31st in the league the previous season

This.

No point in trading for him unless you know you're going to get an extension, which he has stated he isn't ready to get into yet.

My goal between now and Friday is to hype up Vivek Gabor until someone Taro Tsujimotos him in the 7th

He told the Jackets that and that's it.

My goal is to be able to stay up until the draft starts when it will be 4 AM or so here and when the Sabres make their first deal.

By mid season, I think he can.

Dahlin first pair, Guhle second pair is fun to imagine. If they happen to play well together, that would scare every defense in the league.

Yeah, but no, 89 said Guhle was not untouchable and I was rationalizing how he could maybe be dealt if that was true.

Guhle can certainly be dealt. And unless the offer is simply overwhelming, Pilut will not be included at this time. It would look really bad on the GM to trade a guy he just signed, unless it was the NHL unicorn known as sign-and-trade

I wasn't clear, I was saying now that we have Pilut, Dalin, the other D's from college in the pipeline Guhle could be dealt if the deal was right, not Pilut.

It's nice to see Botterill being calm and taking it day by day, unlike Murray.

He's not a UFA until next summer. Who else is he supposed to tell?

Also of note here is that any team looking to trade for Panarin may not necessarily get him to sign, either. So you're gambling on your end as well as a suitor. So, interesting situation to say the least.

I'm off on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Friday is the holy day here, equivalent to Sunday, so we are always off on Friday and Saturday so I will be able to crash on Friday to rest up and throw off my sleep cycle for next week

I really miss his interviews this time of year though!

Nothing like holding teams hostage.

Always enjoyable.

- Michael Pachla

I don’t think they need him to play 25 min.

They need 18-20 good min.

I think he’s going to be a good player

$10 says someone typed his name into YouTube or hockeydb already.

Mike Hunt is great American prospect too.

Rumors that he has personal odor issues woft in his direction though.
