Love it. Swinging for the fences.

Just a reminder to everyone: contest closes at 8. That will give me time to determine if there are any duplicates. All will be posted in the order received

Dare to dream.

All seriousness, I'd be shocked if they didn't trade up from one of 16, 28 or 41.

Would you do 16 OA for Gibson and 22 OA?
- Hank Balling


Yes, absolutely, for sure.
22 gets a decent player...take Miro there and wait on him for free.
Sabres can absorb now and into the future Gibby's contract...it is far from ideal, but they can do it by having cheap/ELC level goalies behind him .. UPL for 2 -3 years, then Levi or whomever when the Cap goes up. Just manage the combined hit below $8m.
Don't listen to haters who will present his substandard performance on an absolute dreadful team in front of him...we heard the same BS regarding Skinner's performance.

Kevyn Adams told reporters in Montreal that he’s meeting with Ryan Johnson’s representatives tomorrow.

All he said was blah blah blah, you signing here or not. Stick him to a draft day trade and be done with it already.

When Adams pulls out the "honest conversation" line, it means there's not a mutual love

Is the top priority “keeping Olofsson”
Or
is it “making other teams think we want to keep him” so that we can get the best trade value possible for him?

- jdfitz77


Nope. Kevo language, he's being signed. Guaranteed.

Well I would think he probably has a deal worked out, or close to it, gotta Guage the situation before pulling the trigger

I'm certain he's had conversations. He's had intimate knowledge of the situation for probably months if not at least an entire year. After his season end and he wasn't ready to go all in, contingencies were created. The problem is, you need to work out a deal with a team he likes. And that deal needs to be better than a third round pick.

Rossi reporting the #Pens offered Malkin two years at six million per. Says Malkin may be willing to go w/ that AAV on a four-year deal. Thoughts?

I took your second submission but I can take this one if you'd prefer. I haven't checked to see if it's the same.

Duplicates are allowed. The first one to submit it is the winner, per the rules

Good on him. Finally a GM with a backbone.
Sabres did absolutely nothing wrong to an entitled little brat. F-him...the spot is wide fvcking open and he is debating the merits of competing for the job in a (formally) hockey crazed town; where he could be a hero...or, go hang out in the plastic / fake / narcissistic capital of the world.

If I put myself in his shoes I would think my chances of playing in the NHL might be hard, with Buffalo, considering how the d corps is coming together.
