If you had to make a trade with Columbus, what would you offer and what would you want in return?

was undefeated in the AHL this year......they all have a ton of potential.

D'Accord and Gus both played well in the NHL this year.

If you want to go with 10oa and Søgaard, you've got yourself a deal, friend

Per Ek Colorado may have too many top D to protect in expansion draft. We could sure use one of the most solid stay-at-home D in the NHL.

You're locked in the overlook with Risto forever, buddy. He's the bartender in the gold room

Problem is they’d still have to expose a good player in that scenario, unless he’s re-signed with a NTC/NMC

I suggested a similar scenario where Colorado gets compensated for exposing Reinhart to Seattle and Buffalo gets Girard or Toews

However, if Buffalo is taking Power it doesn’t make a ton of sense anymore

Avs need to re-sign Makar, Landeskog, Grubauer, and Saad......plus fill out the rest of the roster......can't imagine there is any way they could also fit Reinhart's $$ in there

I was reading that, there are a few teams out there that will have some trouble protecting everyone. Perfect year to have draft capital and squeeze some decent players from teams.

he could replace Saad and is better for the same price. Saad is overpaid

agreed that he's better than Saad, but i think he'll also cost about 2 mil more.....Reinhart makes 5.2 now, gotta think that his new deal will come with a decent raise. i would expect he'll make around with Nylander makes (close to 7)

To that end, the Sabres are going to trade the 1st overall pick and the Boston Bruins 2021 2nd round pick to the Detroit Red Wings for the 6th overall pick and center Dylan Larkin.
you will get the 23rd OA pick from Detroit and Dylan (cough cough) Larkin and like it!

This makes much more sense than the proposed Van deal. I am not sure Van would want to move Hoglander straight across for Reinhart. Cost controlled 20 year old on the rise is exactly what they need on their team right now (what every team needs, actually), and I would say Horvat is a better 2C than Sam would be.

Sure it can. Dahlin, Joker, Toews, Power, McCabe maybe, Borgen, wait on Samuelsson and Bryson and Johnson.

Use Jack to acquire forwards. Sign one or two in FA. Success.

After you hire Torts to coach your team, I think you could turn the #1 OA into Seth Jones. Torts and Jones are BFF's and Jones would re-sign with Torts at the helm!

That’s a lotta LD and a lotta future coin on that blue line

It can work but I suggested that before we had the #1 pick.

If you drafted Power and got Toews you wouldn't need McCabe.
