So you're going alone?

I would have sold you my lowers for $300 like the guy in the Kessel jersey. StubHub doesn't tell you who's buying them.

Aside from the $ aspect , who wants to sit with leafs fans? Seriously.

Flyers game should be fun

HFB from a New Jersey fan

Buffalo receives:
Pavel Zacha
2020 First - Vancouver Pick
2020 First - Arizona Pick
2020 First - Devils Pick
Semi Vatanen (50% retained)


New Jersey receives:
Jack Eichel


Before people think I'm crazy. I wanted to sell Coleman and I said first and second. People said I'm crazy and would never sell Coleman. Today I got what I wanted plus some, and everyone is happy. You have to ask to receive. I also think Eichel will leave Buffalo, and I think Jersey will be deadly about when Eichel reaches his prime years.

Let's be real here, both clubs are not serious. Eichel is stuck there. I speculate nobody wants to play at both places, but Devils with all those picks plus Hughes and Hischier, have a shot at drafting a generational talent this year, and be a contender in 5 years.

I don't think overpaying for Eichel will happen, and I don't think you can win a cup at Buffalo with Eichel alone. He will eventually realize it's a dead end for everyone involved.

Edit: Changed second to first.

Warning: I'll tell you why you can't offer more. Look at Eric Lindros trade. Who won the cup? Sure the value is there, but you don't build teams around a single player. If you overpay you won't win with Eichel, and Eichel won't win at Buffalo.

This along with the Leafs tough next 6 games could make it interesting. FLA and Montreal are both floundering.

Right, that's how the world works.

Season tickets are a business.

Restaurants should give free food too


Notice the haul NJ got for blake coleman?

Like I said, good player. Good trade target

Gerbe any info on Nolan Foote?

Devils traded Coleman for Foote and Vancouver's 1st

- dmarsden2988


He's a good prospect but his skating is some what a issue but the lightning knew this when they drafted him so I'm confused why the traded him maybe the didn't like his progress ? Idk I think he can easily work on his skating ( he's very smart and has a good shot ) I would say if everything goes right Hornqvist type

Florida is struggling.

Have to hope we go on a 8/10 run or something to pull really close

Why should we trade for a player like him when we're not in playoffs ? That's just a waste ..sure if we're Contenders

How the world works ? When I come to visit I invite people to the press box not everything is about money .. did you ever just invite a homeless person to dinner ? I just did a month of giving it opened my eyes what you can do for others with nothing in return

I have 8 seats together that I bring my friends , my sons friends and family. Nephews, aunts, cousins ,my parents . I have never accepted a penny. 6 plus years.

Free lower leafs tickets, not so much.
StubHub dictates the purchaser

Good to hear that you're thoughtful. I appreciate that quality.

Coleman has another year on his contract, but that price was ridiculous.

No reason to move our first for him
