It shouldn't even be talked about, you go grab him. I'd give the 8th up also in the deal if I had to.

Agreed

It would completely change the dynamic of this team

Skinner Eichel Boeser
Olofsson Staal Reinhart
Kahun Cozens Vesey/Thompson

That is a very interesting top 9. I think Thompson is going to surprise some people and people a good piece (not great but a good piece)

Jesus Christ Girgensons needs to go, enough of him already.
- SABRES 89



Totally Agree, I was just using him for a celery comparison. As in, will Clifford be cheaper than the locomotive Larry.

Haula or Brassard for 3rd line. 2RW either Brock Boeser if by some crazy chance they can get him or Reinhart. Either can play on the 1st or 2nd line, you can't lose.

Who do you like for the defense?


- Gr8daygo

If the flames are seriously thinking about moving Hanifin, I'd target him

reality, Mccabe is playing second pair and some cheap vet takes the bottom pair

Hainsey should satisfy the ni's

Thanks. They are going to need another D oriented center not named Lazar.

Ooohhh Big Bad Brass is an interesting name. He could probably be a solid defensive 3rd line center for a bit. 32, but I’m sure has a bit left in the tank.

I like the Hanifin idea!!! Aren’t jack and hanifin friends. That could help with a happy jack. What’s the acquisition cost?

I’d about “close”
But they grew up playing hockey in the same city
& have worked out in the same circles in the offseason before

What makes you think he is, we just going to keep rushing these kids when they aren't ready. Mitts is done and if i'm wrong i'll be the first to admit it.

AGAIN...
what makes u think Cozens isn’t ready?

He’s one of the top ranked prospects not in the NHL, and literally everyone is saying they think he’s ready

How many games did u watch of Cozens this past season??

Well that’s just dumb
Bc he’ll cost assets AND cap space

I’m not saying it’s a bad idea
Just wanna know why he likes Hanifin
