Reports of Aho only being offered 6M on a 8yr deal from CAR.

What type of offer sheet would makes Dundon blink and think about taking the comp and not matching the deal?
- Sabre_Tooth

9-10 mil.

They’re lowballing him as he doesn’t have arb rights.

Again kinda.

That trade effected the landscape of the NHL.

For instance, Edmonton use the 91 pick for Martin Rucinsky, who was then moved to Colorado for Tugnutt, and then moved from Colorado to Montreal as part of the package for ......


You guessed it, Patrick Roy.

Any trade of getting Point is going to put under a microscope harder than the ROR move IMO. This is for anyone thinking of moving 4 1st or Risto, Mitts, plus.

Of course a trade for Point would be discussed like crazy
He’s a really good player, and we’d be giving up a lot for him either way

I really don’t see why u keep trying to tie Gretzky to it though
Really has nothing to do with the deal

And everything you’re talking about is crap that is or the local media might say
Doesn’t affect what happens on the ice with Point here

So again...
Mitts + what?
Would u rather give up Risto,
or the four 1sts?

10mil at least I’d think

I get negotiating...
but that’s a pretty severe low ball offer

I’d honestly not get him at all to be truthful.

When that 92 point becomes 5 yrs of 65-70 all you’ll hear is b!tch, b!tch, b!tch....

The issue I would have giving up the 4 1sts for Point would be that Tampa would still have a better team overall than Buffalo and they are getting our picks.
Would be different for someone out West maybe, but a trade like that within the division would be a bad decision.
Now if it was something like Mitts, Nylander, Thompson and a 1st, that would be something I could get on board with. It's like they're getting 4 1sts anyway.

Ryan Hartman got released by Dallas this guy must have the pooptiest attitude holy crap lol

Fruite belt isnt lackawanna, its down by the medical campus, there are fruit streets in lackawanna though
- Mentalorgasm5

That's what I thought, but it's been almost 20 years since I've been down there. My uncle wanted to buy rental property, and he was disabused of that notion pretty quickly. I just remember Plum, and it was bad.

Judging by the street view, the Lackawanna area is rough too.

Why no upl at development camp????

The fact that it came out so quickly has to mean they're really pissed off about that.

He should suck it up.

He didn't get tendered, but they are still trying to sign him. Same thing with Vancouver and Hutton.

I don’t think he’d dip that low here
I’d play Sam with him & look to find a LW long term

take mitts out some how i would be fine
- Slapjackzack

I’d be very comfortable trading Mitts + for Point
Especially since we just drafted Cozens

Eichel, Point, Cozens as our Top3 centers going forward
That’s gonna be pretty tough to match up against
Just gotta build around them

Unless you get him rather inexpensive I wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole.

Building with Eichel, Mitts & Cozens down the middle is good too
But i think Point is legit

Who would u like to see us target?

Sure...
but it just goes to show that NO ONE has ever given up 4 picks in the 1st
Not even for the best player ever

And why???
Bc it’s a bad freaking idea

Mitts + four 1sts
Or
Mitts + Risto

The 2nd option is WAY BETTER
- jdfitz77

The 2nd option doesnt come close to getting you point.

Idk about that?

They obviously think highly of Risto,
supposedly offered a 1st + Foote

Hell...
Mitts plus just the Cap Space is a huge return

I doubt they’d trade Point anyways
But getting back a Top4 RH defenseman who they clearly value,
plus a young player with AT LEAST a ceiling of a very good 2C...

That kinda seems like EXACTLY what Tampa would ask for

Risto probably be better rw than a rd but that's just me.

No way to Casey and Risto get you a 23 year old center that netted 92 points. Trade wouldnt be considered by Tampa.
