Draisaitl was bad his first season so they're the same too

Gaudreau was the better player that played college in the boston area

You're acting like the bar has been set and will never change.

I read The Athletic piece too, and while you can use the Reinhart trade as a comparable, it doesn't mean it's iron clad as no 2 situations are identical.

The article pointed that out.

i made the assumption prior to the article.

yes, im aware there's a market, and i understand how a market works. sorry i left off the

"if market conditions remain similar"

I'm personally not using that deal to acquire that player.

Nice. Do you ever find the time to squeeze in an Aubrey Huff jersey?

Nope.
It severely clashes with my Trump 2024 hat

We both know the Sabres won't either.

It'll be interesting to see how many teams are in on Fiala and what it will ultimately take to get him.

So we're thinking a 20-30 season for Krebs this coming season...?
- kingcong39


THAT is one of many questions Adam's needs to figure out and why I suspect he will slow play the F group as far as trades this offseason. IMO it is the smart play.

I'd love to know if kevo was actually interested. I feel like Olofsson would need to return, based on today's assumed roster construction.

Olofsson, 16 for Dumba and Fiala? Add minor assets where necessary.

As an RHD maybe you need to give them 9 instead.

Extensions assumed.

In time, not just yet maybe another year. They will pay our own players first, Adams doesn't think we need high end big money players to win.

The only way these trades happen, is if you make them in NHL 22.

He must not be watching PO's, lol.

The key to this team, IMO is what is Tage. Is he a 1 year flash, can we expect him to continue to grow further to say a 1.1 ppg player consistently.

If he stumbles, that roster then is comprised of a bunch of middle 6 players.
With him surging, then we have a low end 1st line.

I'm not yet convinced they have enough true L1 players
