He is worth finding out

He gets a bigger role in Vegas than he got in Minny and ends up playing almost 4 minutes more a game and getting PP time and he turns into a top 6 forward

To be fair that Vegas season in 17-18 is absolutely full of career years from about everyone

Vegas must not have thought he was worth that much to get just a prospect who was a 4th rounder w/ production similar to Nylander.

I'd still go after Vesey

Vegas is in a position where they have to sell off players

He was a big part of their cup run

He was hurt most of last season

N. Roy had 36 points in 69 games in the A which puts him roughly comparable to Nylander's 31p in 49. I'd probably have made that trade

That's where I am at

Low risk, high reward.

Could have been our next Skinner or at worst been another Sheary type

Okay the Haula trade has me getting annoyed now

If you could have gotten him for Nylander (I know you love him but he is useless)

He can play 2C or 2LW both a position of need

He showed before his injury that with more ice time and PP time he is a productive player.

Ok. So if it’s a bit of a cap dump what’s his value? He’d be a perfect fit...

Eh. Definitely not Skinner.

He had two solid wingers in Neal and Perron. (Neal is steadily declining)

I’d have done it but not for Nylander

I get he’s a solid player but botts is probably just trying to land another skinner type move

So you want to trade a #7 overall and our “best” RW prospect for a 2.9M rental who is coming off missing an entire season because he had 1 flash in a pan season?

I’m not biting. Just like Miller for a 2020 1st. Nah.

Eh. Definitely not Skinner.

I didn't mean like Skinner production but more like our Skinner deal from last year

Play him on the wing or center with Mitts and Reinhart and I would say he is a 45-55 point player

Nylander has bust written all over him

The guy Haula was traded for has similar production in the A and was a 4th round pick

Nylander isn't getting anyone with term left who is going to be a top 6 forward.

I also shown how he wasn't a flash in the pan

He played 4 more minutes per game in Vegas and got PP time

Something he got very little of in Minny

He went from playing 13 mins a night in Minny to 17 in Vegas.

Yea I want to see Sobotka on the 2nd line.
- SABRES 89

Who the very first person who came on here & ripped Sobatka?
Oh yeah... it was me... like 2minutes after that sh!tty trade

Also... pretty sure no one even wants him on the roster, let alone line2

Just some more ridiculous exaggeration

Im gonna need someone to post a calendar that highlights the RDD (roster discussion day) when we're allowed to talk about the projected roster for '19-'20
- jcragcrumple

Well it sure it pointless to talk about it NOW

Bc i absolutely guaranteed that EVRY SINGLE TEAM has roster changes between now & opening night

This has been such an idiotic day of crybaby whining bullish!t

I will rephrase. I’d like Haula for a middle 6 guy but I’m not giving up Nylander, Tage, Asplund, VO, etc. I would have done like CJ Smith. That’s probably better A stats than the Roy they got.

“DO SOMETHING JASON”

*Sabres actually were to make a trade*

“Damn it Botts is an idiot. I can’t believe he gave up X for Y. That’s piss poor. I blame Kim for this”


Rinse. Repeat.

He is declining? He barely played last year, and they year before he had 53 points

They will make trades

One under the radar name I have a feeling we could end up trading for is Bryan Rust. Heard his name a few times floated around and with Bott's connection with the Pens I would not be surprised to see him here. Very fast and could get around 20 goals a year if he played a little more.

I think you all are right, and Botterill will make some moves this summer to make it a respectable team come October. But let me run a hypothetical across that doesn't seem crazy to me.

Only minor moves are made this summer: maybe Donskoi and a depth defenseman. Krueger wants to see what he can do with Risto. The team comes out flat, and by mid-november, the team is sunk. Krueger becomes acting GM due to his background in personnel, and Lindy is brought in later, maybe after the season as PoHO
- jcragcrumple

That’s quite the string of “ifs”
But yeah...
something along those lines could be possible
Might not be that short of a timeline though

Our 2020 1st should absolutely be the first part of any trade deal right off the bat, butter up those GMs.
