I personally felt your offer was way too rich for the Wings... but he's also not a certified 1C.
- TheSabresTaco

Completely disagree but I can see why people would feel that way.

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!

Fair enough. If you change your mind, make an offer
- Hank Balling

A previous thread indicated fair deal would be the cost of Raymond or a 2022 1st to swap and that’s just not worth it for me.

Highly doubt there’s any interest in

He’s definitely a 1C. Not a top one but definitely a 1C.

And really there’s probably not a deal that makes sense for both teams to swap 1OA and 6OA.

Why were his numbers so down this year? Was the Wing City really that bad?

My top 3 Destinations that make sense to Trade Jack to are.

Minnesota Wild
Anaheim
Seattle

No sense imo to trade the 1OA. Power is clear cut after that Tourney. Move Dahlin to the right or have 2 solid LD

They’ve cumulatively been the worst team the last 4 seasons. His regular line mates were gone. Bertuzzi got hurt 9 games in and Mantha was invisible enough to get healthy scratched. On top of that the D core is brutal and they played a very defensive low event system. The PP was brutal because Disco Dan was in charge of it. They once went 40 power plays in a row without a goal this season. They finished 2nd worst at 11.4%

Yeah not bad but probably not quite enough. And anymore and it probably starts to make less sense for Detroit.

I won't be mad if I get to write a blog about the Sabres giving Sam Reinhart a long term extension. This team is nothing but questions and no answers
- Hank Balling


I knowwww, just giving you a hard time. Someone has to do it. You started blogging and everyone turned into a kiss ass.

What could Seattle possibly get that in the expansion draft that would be enough of a return along with #2OA?

You can start by pining for a long-term risto extension

Could get Skinner off our hands. They'll also have a lot to choose from.

It really isn't, but would help to know what happens with Jack, and when traded what pieces come back.

Yeah. LD is the weakest position in the organization and he’s most places top rated prospect.

I’d love to think there’s a GM out there that still likes Rasmussen and get something useful for him.
