If they assemble the brawling bad news bears then they'll get a fair amount of fans

I have a difficult time believing the fans are falling for that anymore after a decade of incompetence.

They wouldn't be on the level of a Byfield, Zegras or Rossi would they?
- Michael Pachla


Robertson and Hintz are both damn good, and they're turning 22 and 25 respectively before next season.

Those 2 and the Dallas 15th overall this year would be a nice return. Not sure Dallas would do that.

Just trying to figure out where they land on the prospect ladder. Are they Turcotte, Vilardi, Tuch tier?

I’d take Robertson over all 3 easily

Hintz is good too

Robertson is already what Byfield, Rossi, and Zegras hope to be? I'm guessing as I'm bad at making comparisons like that.

I like the idea of trading Reinhart to Columbus and having part of the return being Seth Jones, then Buffalo could trade Jones and even retain salary if needed to maximize the return.

It'll never happen though.

- kingcong39
You aren't getting Jones for Reinhart straight up let alone Columbus adding.

I’d rank them

Byfield
Robertson
Rossi/Zegras in either order


Robertson was an elite play driving and scoring winger on a defense first team

He looks like he *could* be Pastrnak/Rantanen level good based on this year but it’s a small sample

Don't think you would get both Robertson and Roope, but Robertson would be nice.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Stars were dangling Seguin + a prospect in a return for Eichel.

Hahaha why the hell would they be doing that?

It's more likely Bishop, a prospect and a 1st

Seriously and most down here agree Jones has been a disappointment. He's good but he doesn't have that kill-factor or next level. He's like a better Rasmus Ristolainen with more brain power.

I honestly have no idea. All i know is that teams are chasing COL and VGK in the West. Jack to LA, ANA, MIN and DAL would certainly help in that quest.

Seguin is 29 and had hip surgery last season. Would you actually want him in the deal?

But Sam Reinhart is a 20 goal 50 point winger. Dmen are worth way more.

What you said earlier Pach's about waiting on Vegas was very much not out of the realm. And if those teams see that, could help in dealing with them and getting better offers.
