What's your VERSION?

Pretty much seems like it was general knowledge

Seems like ppl on here gave the theory a lot of weight bc they were butthurt

We don’t KNOW how it all played out

Assumptions aren’t facts
That’s all I’m saying

Maybe a Hoffman type trade.

Kadri to sj for 10 minutes

Buffalo sends 2020 1st to sj (protected)

I wouldn’t hate it then we can trade Ristolainen for ehlers 😏 then toss out the offer sheet

He be cheaper than Ryan Nugent Hopkins imo and would fill that ROR Void quickly

I think it would be a great move. No one is taking nylanders contract and they need to create some space.

He cant look too well in managements eyes with another costly suspension. Id love to see him here terrorizing the leafs

Lavy?

Maybe?
Do we want him though?

I feel that coaches are kinda like goalies...
in that there’s only a couple that really elevate your team,
while most are dependent on the roster around them
With good players, they have success
With bad players, they lose a lot

I’m more concerned with what Botts does with the roster than the coaching staff tbh

Agreed
IF we could get the Leafs to send him here

Kinda doubt they would trade us Kadri

Since we wont have a team worthy of a coach being dependent on, it will be concerning if they hire another guy with no NHL experience or winning pedigree. No matter which way you cut it

I don’t think too many coaches would’ve done much better with the roster we’ve had the last few years

I wouldn’t have a problem giving him the offer sheet will have 2 first round picks So technically we’re just losing 3 😏

Picks would start next year. Would be fun, but never going to happen and they'd match anyways.

Hahaha... hell yes!

Meanwhile...
This Sharks vs Vegas game is gonna be awesome

And I’m getting really psyched about the NFL draft
I think it’s gonna be fun

I want the Bills to trade down- TWICE
Once into the teens for a team wanting a QB
Then again into the 20s to get even more picks
Pick Jeffrey Simmonds
Idc that he might not play this year
We can get a Top5 talent in the 20s,
plus acquire extra picks

And this draft is really nice through the 3rd round, and even into the 4th & maybe 5th

Ehlers with Jack would be pretty nuts
Even with Mitts, Ehlers could really be dangerous

Not saying risto for kadri but hypothetically..

If risto is a mess in his own end and we are trading him to the leafs for that, what are we worrying about?

People want to trade him to the lightning, which with that logic makes even less sense

I'd want younger player with more contract control, personally. I get the allure of Kadri, but that's not the trade for me

So he isnt 22, but how much more contract control could you want at 3 years 4.5 cap hit for a guy that scores at a 20g pace with two 30g seasons at an average ice time under 17 mins?

At some point bonafide NHL players need to be brought in. Since we have let so many go

I get that, just curious what you were thinking.

Kinda seemed like everyone in management was pretty upset. Like someone lied to them or mislead them to believe something that wasnt true.

If we knew that dahlin was going to be loyal and sign here after this season, then an offer sheet wouldn't hurt.
