I would hope so, Foudy and one of their goalies would be a horrible return for Reinhart

That's why I said it, but what do you think they really are gonna get for Rhino.

Take it with a grain of salt, but he's saying ANA wants Jack and that they're ready to trade some yougins, including Zegras, if necessary to get him. They think he's Getzlaf 2.0.

Please add the first i'm in

I wasn't comfortable adding the first to two elite rookies. Maybe you send Mitts back instead of Laaks? I dunno.

I have put zero effort into Comtois research. Saw he did ok for Canada. He worth adding in a Jack trade?

Buffalo pretty much wants that 3rd if jack goes to ducks

If they can get both power , beniers and zegras
Also get a chance at wright thats one good core

Beniers is going to Seattle, if Adams takes Power 1st overall.

He was supposed to go top ten in 2017 put he didn't put up the numbers and his stock dropped
Could be a nice 20-20 guy

They can try to move up 1 spot if the ducks trade happen

Z, Comtois, 3rd sounds like a move I can get behind.

Two of
Comtois,Zegras, Steel
and
2021 2nd

there would have to be a cap dump but all of ANAs big money playrs have NMC.

Would Henrique waive to come here?

I don't think you get all three.

You get two of the three and a 2nd rd pick + a cap dump.

comtois, steel and a 2nd rd pick is a bad return for eichel

I usually stay out of the overhyped return expected but this return is bad

Why would Ron Francis want to trade out of a chance to take Beniers?

Z, 3rd, 2nd, and a "cap dump" that would actually be serviceable in Henrique would be nice. Insulate the youngins, but would be over his head in a 1C spot so we don't get too many wins.

They need a minority owner a la "managing partner Larry quinn"

Someone with skin in the game to make decisions. Preferably someone with a hockey background who could buy in as a minority owner

Danny Briere sounds fine. $67m in career earnings. He can put down $20, right?

- Hank Balling

i've always pined for larry robinson but he's now with the blues...interesting buffalo connections when i went to his twitter page--a photo of his name on the cup (his 10th) for the blues right under steve ott and a plug for marv levy to get into the canadian football hall of fame

Don't do it. Power and Eklund is a very nice kickoff to a new core.

If they get the 3rd, that is.

I just dont see a way wehere Anaheim guts its system.

they should even be trying to landing Eichel anyway.

They are an old bad team.

They are going to be bad for a long time.

just rebuild through the draft.

If they do though, dO you try to get Gibson included in an Eichel deal?
