That's what we're doing here though, right? We're just waiting for Cozens

I like domi, in fact I'd prefer him to Strome, Galchenyuk, Bjuicestate, Copp and some others.

Really, I dont give a poop what they do as long as they bring in 2 centers. Bonino and Strome: Fine. Domi and Copp: Fine.

Actually ill ammend this because I'm setting myself up for disappointment. Just get ONE. Two seems like I'm living in fantasy land

I’m still operating on the belief that most GM’s are still stupid.
- Pegullaville


That's a very dangerous assumption to make, because you will make a deal with said supposedly stupid GM only to find you were the fish in the deal, not the GM you thought was stupid.

Better to always assume someone is trying to get one over on you, and plan accordingly.

I've been institutionalized by this miserable franchise. I really do need to allow myself to dream

Does being a non physical, massive annoyance really count as snarl?

No, but it draws penalties

It also ends up in you being shorthanded because your annoying pest got caught trying his act.

I agree they need both, I'd just prefer the Tkachuk, Bennett, Smith style of play.

Oh I agree, that's why I wouldn't mind them bringing in Craig Smith and Maroon.

Everyone has a reason for buying and selling, and at the end of the day it is a business.

However if you can understand both ends of the deal, it leads to less risk imo.

If Reinhart wasn't drafted by the Sabres and a current Sabre and you had an unbiased opinion who would you want in a trade for Domi vs Reinhart?

Maybe we should put that in Ek's blog and find out the response.

A center is usually more valuable than a wing
Domi has hit the 70 pt mark
He does have an attitude
He can skate better
Fills a big need

Negative
He has been demoted and lowered on their depth chart
He has been inconsistent
already traded

Got laughed at for making this suggestion when he was still with the Oilers.

Reinhart is the better player. It would have to depend on if there was anything accompanying Domi in the return on my end.

Opinions vary of course

You're right ....

Kypreos : The other one that I'm hearing, Mac, an I'm not telling you and I don't want Buffalo to start calling me saying I'm reporting anything, but there are some people in our inner circle that say Jack Eichel isn't happy and wouldn't mind exploring a move.

I know one guy here would be over the top for Reinhart and another guy the complete opposite.

I brought it up in the Habs blog in December or January. My informal poll of their reaction was more positive than negative. A few really liked the idea.

Of course one way to read that is to say the Sabres are getting ripped off.

Teams need players like him, especially young teams that have no heart and don't know what it takes to get there.

"My main complaint with Max Domi since the start of these playoffs, and really since he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in 2018, has been his inability to blend in with teammates."


then how did he get 72 points last season?
