Well lets see
1) Arizona is in a cap crunch, so I would make a call on Dvorak.
2) Domi seems to have fallen down the depth chart, so I would make a call
3) Again Chicago is in Cap hell, can't hurt to call on Strome, if he isn't ask about Kubalik. It's gonna be tough for them to keep both.
4) Is just if LA takes Byfield, LA is loaded with C prospects
5) Henrique is blah, but could be a solid add to play 2C until Cozens is ready, and then take over 3C until Lundell is ready. Don't know if he's available, but there are rumors.

Turcotte doesn't help us next year. And you're paying a premium for a guy like that. For a team likely rebuilding, they don't HAVE to trade any prospects right now. They can wait and see what they have first.

On Domi, the price goes up, simply because you're in the same division.

Henrique can probably be had for the cheapest. I'm sure Ana would love to rid themselves of that contract.

Just my opinion, of course.

A few people, actually.

It started on Elliotte Friedman’s 31 thoughts.

Then Lysowski, Harrington and someone else tweeted about it.

I haven't heard anything like that but, that doesn't mean anything.

Are they all just tweeting information that's recycled?
- gerbe75pts



I guess?

Idk where Friedman got his info from.

Turcotte might not be ready for C, but he could help on the Wing, I would prefer Vilardi anyways. And yes LA doesn't have to trade, but we have a few young Dman that could help them build a week area up in there pool.

Like Powerslave said only if it's him from 3 yrs ago. Maybe he could have a rebirth with Skinner.

Rask? No thanks
I don’t think he’s even a good 3C, let alone 2C
Pretty sure Carolina was actually playing him at 4C before they were able to ship him to Minny

And idk if he was hurt or healthy scratched,
but I’m pretty sure he didn’t play in the post season for Minny this year

If you were to take Stepan, wonder if you could get them to throw in Bunting or Nate Schnarr or Maccelli think 39 might have mentioned him.

Lightning, Flames and Red wings called about Montour, so maybe we can start there for Cirelli.
- SABRES 89

i traded montour for detroit's 2nd rounder this year and toronto's 2nd (?) next year on capfriendly...one wings fan didn't think they needed him and thought that 2 second rounders was too much

Habs fans seem open to Reinhart for Domi.

If I'm KA, it's worth exploring

Robbing Peter to pay Paul there... you resign Samson. Not trade him...

I’d offer Tobias Rieder double his .7mil salary for something like 2-3yrs to come play here as RW3 & help our PK

He’s one of their top guys, & CGY has a top10 PK

- jdfitz77



That seems better fit than either Girgs or Larsson

Seems like fixing one hole, only to open up another.

Yeah, I get it. It's shuffling deck chairs to some extent. I'd rather give them Montour.

But if I can flip Reinhart for Domi and either Risto/Montour for a RW, I think the sabres are in a much better position overall

- Michael Pachla


I don’t mind that at all. Gives us the needed. RW. What pieces do you use for the 2c? Risto +? Or the 8th over all or 2021 first. I’m only using the 8th for a Cerelli type asset... I might be open to swapping firsts too depending on the player...

I’m not sure you will be able to swing two Samson level rw’s.

89s info is interesting and locks down the rw spot for Monte....

Now you have Risto, picks, and prospects to fix 2c.

What about Ryan Strome, the kid can dish the puck, could work well with Skinner.

Neither Strome has the speed to work in Krueger's system

Why would you trade the #8th overall for Circelli when you can see if he will take a 2 or 3 years offersheet at around 4.2 Million and Tampa Bay cannot match because they only have 5 Million free and also need to sign Sergachev? This year it's a Buyers market out there and since there will be so few teams with cap space to take on cap from other teams they will have the ability to be very picky on the deal.
