It would be Cozens, Joker, this years first and next years first would be my best guess.

It's not going to happen.

Use Jokiharju, Cozens, and this year's pick as the basis for the core along with Jack and Dahlin going forward.

Trade for 2 centers, like Bonino and Strome, for short term center depth, until Cozens and the pick this year are fully ready.

It's go time following this year's draft, whenever it takes place.

I'd look into Vatrano from them. Wonder if we can convince them Tage is their guy.

Damn. This, spring breakers infecting everyone , Amazon delivery drivers spitting all over packages, the VP of Roswell getting fired for hoping trump supporters are the ones that die instead.

Americans are evil.

People are sick, and the sick part about it is there are a lot of people that probably support her posts. Her postings are more anti-humane, discriminatory and racist than anti-Trump to be honest. "Trump Supporters" and voters are made up of men and women of all race.

I agree. I was fully on board bottoming out last year, and although I’m disappointed we weren’t at least competing for a spot this year later in the season I’m more then happy this scenario ended up playing out so we can add another good piece to the puzzle.

I will join JCrag though once the draft is over, it’s time to win now and for Botts to put up or shut up. I’ve defended him more often then not these last two years as I saw the long term benefits of what we have been building here but with all the contracts coming off the books (some of them his doing due to short term moves) there are no more excuses.

I would trade them Cozens and Mitts for him but they are not getting anything close to this year's 1st.
- BeadyEyedDouche

And we wouldn’t get anywhere close to Barkov then

What now...?

One guy though from what I read.

There are always going to be people like that, sadly.

it's pathetic, both sides


this is a time to unite, not focus on party lines over human lives


what I have seen done by both sides, is truly disgusting

I really think we should sell high on Mittelstadt now and go hard after Barkov.

An under the radar move for a guy on a good contract that solves 2C and is really a 1b at the very least.

Florida owner wants to shed salary and we can pile on whatever else we need to pull this trade off.

Mittelstadt, McCabe, I'd even do this year's 1st and then some.
- BeadyEyedDouche

Agreed.
That said, teams like Florida, Chicago, others will want young cost-controlled assets back for the like of Barkov, Strome, etc.

For Barkov, the price would be high...
would you agree with a package of say:
2020-1st,
Joker,
Mitts,
& say one of Tage or 2021-2nd.

I don't know how to rationalize the two concepts of:
- requiring the desired 2C to be a high-end center (Barkov, 70+ pt pace)
- not willing to include 2020-1st, Cozens, nor Joker in a package

I wanted Cozens as the Sabres pick last year and wouldn't want to trade him, yet isn't Barkov what people would hope Cozens develops into.

I’m still trying to rationalize why Florida would trade Barkov in the first place.

They aren’t

It's interesting to me to contemplate the changes we will see in a post-Pandemic country.
Just one consideration is do our Gov't leaders at various levels work together jointly develop a better Preparedness Plan for another Pandemic, or do they sink into finger pointing and let the opportunity for improvement drown under a bunch of useless rhetoric.

For example will a much needed cushion of supplies be identified at the Hospital, County, State, Fed levels in which each cushion is designed to address different levels of an outbreak.
I.e
-Hospitals are required to have a 2 week supply of various supplies/equipment to address a defined level of outbreak...say low
-Counties are required to stockpile and additional 10 days at low levels
-States are required to provide 3 weeks of supplies necessary to address a moderate outbreak
-US Govt required to stockpile enough to address 20 or 30 or N large cities for an additional 30 days of a moderate outbreak.

That type of tiered approach will cost money, but would provide valuable time to respond to a Pandemic while the Private sector can gear up to address more medium-term needs .

Also, will the US Govt encourage US companies who produce critical items manufacture them in the US...at least some type of plan to be able to ramp up manufacturing very quickly within the US.

This whole FL might move Barkov thing is the biggest crock of poop.

That may be the better question, lol.
In general though, people have expressed a very strong desire for "better than Trocheck" opinion, but want to deal Bogo, a 4th and Girgenson for them, lol.

I mean, Sabres could make Okposo, Mojo and McCabe available...but they need your 2021-1st as well.

That may be the better question, lol.

I still think Strome from Chicago is on the Sabres radar, if you try and go after Barkov he is gonna cost a lot and put us back in the situation we were in after the ROR and Kane trades. Strome will cost but not half as much.

Cozens, Mittelstadt, McCabe, 2021 1st

for

Barkov
- BeadyEyedDouche

Yes, I would do it. That means Florida wouldn’t lol

would they move Vatrano?

A few ideas:

Nick Foligno - Mittelstadt and Asplund/Borgen

Jeff Carter - Asplund and a 2nd

Strome - Mittelstadt and 2021 conditional 1st (points based - say 50)

I don't think Foligno is worth that much...he's 32 and plays a rugged game leading to injuries and lower production

cirelli would be my #1 trade target and if it can't be done, then i'd consider signing Granlund as a free agent using him and Johansson at center in the middle six...

I mentioned Vatrano a couple posts earlier, he'd be my #2 trade target

Already finished season 3 of ozark lol

It was good. The wife’s character arc is still kind of a mess.
