How so?

People want Adams to trade Eichel or Sam to the Ducks for Zegras and the 3rd pick. That way, they can get Beniers at 1 and Eklund at 3.

Having an argument with a Pens fan:

He believes the Sabres are going to probably be the worst team next season.

I disagreed.

We played half the year with a broken Eichel, the other half without completely. We were starting 4th, 5th and 6th string goalies. Lost McCabe and Girgs for the year. Borgen, Tage, Cozens and Ullmark all missing substantial time.

With decent goaltending, we aren't last place THIS year.

But what do you all think? Are we destined for top3?

A lot of this depends on if Jack and Sam are here next year, but let's say for sake of argument they both are. Resign Ullmark and we get a decent backup. With no other changes made, I think we're picking 8-10. Thoughts?

I really don't mind anyone being a poop stirrer, as long as they own it.

Gotcha
But if we’re sending them Eichel,
I want more than Zegras & pick3
If it’s Reinhart I’d do it,
but i don’t think he’s worth that much

I say 5-7. 8-10 if the Superyacht gets finished and Pegulas pay attention to the hockey team again by then.

If I'm Anaheim, and I've said this before, I keep my pick and build around Zegras and that guy.

What makes u think we are gonna have “decent goaltending” this season??

We have no goalie
And Jack & Sam seem much more likely to be gone then to be still here

If Eichel is moved, most want him sent to LA for Byfield or Turcotte and their 1st.

I like a deal with LA too
The above also isn’t enough imo

I guess.

Ryan Johnson still hasn’t put pen to paper yet so if he walks to UFA then we’ll see how everyone still feels about the college route

He’s still got 2 more years of college hockey if he wants

For what?

I’m gonna need a hell of a lot more than pick2 in this draft for Eichel
For Sam, I’d probably want another piece as well
Or a deal that they have to take Okposo in the expansion draft (or some other player we don’t want anymore)

You are talking to the guy that said he enjoyed watching a player get taken off on a stretcher.

NFL is the most violent game there is yet they have managed to take hits just like this out of their sport without ruining it.

College football auto suspends players for a game if they are called for targeting Which this clearly was.

Yet this is hockey and we need to toughen up.

I dont know about you but im there to watch McDavid/macKinnon go end to end on a great rush and not to watch dudes to peeled off the ice because they are unconscious because of stupid hits.

It was a 5 minute major and a 10 minute misconduct.

Right, I was referring to the claim that it should have been a minor
