I like the idea in theory
It’s just that teams generally aren’t quick to give up on guys like that
Stealing Briere from ARZ is obviously the exception, & not the rule

But again…. if any guys like u mentioned can be obtained for cheap, then why not give it a try?

we got joker for nylander


try a few of those moves with guys that are not wowing us

is that private equity?...or a private equity firm?

Did you check with Kim before you made these decisions ?

jj just turned 20 last week and he still needs time to develop
where do you put him in a lineup with skins, cozensons, tuch, mitts, his tallness, okposo, krebs and quinn, plus either olofsson or another top-nine/six forward, where do you put him?...on the fourth line?...that's where replacement players the likes of asplund and jankowski play
- Michael Pachla

Where would i slot Peterka?
Somewhere in the “top9” with:
Tuch, Skinner, Olofsson, Cozens, Krebs, Quinn, Mitts & Tage

And my defensive line would be Asplund, Okposo & Girgs
Bjork as the 13th forward

Murray & Ruotsalainen to start in AHL

a private firm is buying 30 percent of the team and giving it to orphans

woody allen can't have them all

Do we have a Nylander comparable right now?
Mitts?

I would trade mitts straight up for Hayton

Keep Cozens, Krebs, Quinn, Tuch, JJ, Tallness, Dahlin, Joker, Samuelsson

I’m on the fence about Mitts

Rest can go

Well at least you're keeping the intended Adams core around. I think that's the objective. I'm done with the Ass Man. Personally I like what Girgensons and Kyle bring. But the team needs more tenacity, more often.

What if we traded for good players instead of signing short term bad ones (Malkin aside)

Wasn't there a rumor last year that they were bringing in a minority partner that would have control of the club?

Assuming no major trades, the above is exactly what i would hope for next year with one exception - fix or trade Oloffson. Tuch, Skinner, Peterka, Cozens, Krebs, Quinn, Mitts & Tage should be a lock (assuming Peterka has a strong camp). Oloffson's play the next 40 games determines whether he stays or goes IMO.

The 4th line of Asplund, Okposo & Girgs would actually be pretty good.

Yeap, and the SAbres too quickly said Thats not true and had every reporter in Buffalo announcing it.

They have been trying to offload some of the burden for awhile.

I assume this minority owner takes on team president role.

Just gotta sign a RD & a goalie to get there
Maybe that’s easier said than done?
But there’s usually a “Boychuck” or 2 out there who can be obtained for Cap purposes as well

But since u challenged me….

Stralman at 5.5mil for 1year, the exact same contract he’s on with ARZ currently
I’d like to do better than him of course, but he could be an “ok” mentor/partner for Power
And i didn’t wanna sign someone like Manson & get the response that he wouldn’t come here

And Holtby in goal to pair with UPL, 4.0mil & 2years
That’s double his current contract (to persuade him)
If that’s not enough $$$, we have plenty more room to add
And there’s also other suitable options imo, like:
Francouz, Kuemper, Campbell, Fleury, etc etc

That sounds reasonable as well
Olofsson could possibly be a decent trade chip to get a solid RD to pair with Power
