Doesn't look like a trade for a C will happen, so....

Would rather keep Dries instead of spending an extra mil or two for the same production. Even Bjugstadt.

Wasn't he compared to Dylan Larkin?

Lol that would be funny. I would be shocked if they took a winger

Winger or a center that isn't a lock to be a center in the NHL.

Benson, Moore, Michkov....

8.8 mil on Meier and TOR talking 8.8 for Nylander. Prices are getting nuts.

Scouting Report
Will Smith, Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault overshadowed Moore in the U.S. NTDP program, which could make him a steal at No. 9. He’s one of the fastest skaters in the draft and he knows how to use his speed. Moore is versatile at both ends of the ice. Scouts compare Moore to Dylan Larkin. How teams value his superior speed and skating ability will play a key role in where Moore gets drafted. He’ll play at the University of Minnesota next season, at least, and figures to only get better with seasoning on the NCAA level.

Oliver Moore is a forward with @USAHockeyNTDP.

Moore is a multi-sport athlete who grew up playing basketball, soccer & hockey. He will be attending the Univ. of Minnesota in the fall after going to @GopherHockey games as a kid to cheer on his home state team. #NHLDraft pic.twitter.com/GMd0VW5W8y

"As much as his skating jumps off the page, his defensive responsibility may be just as impressive. He weaponizes his speed in the defensive zone, racing to loose pucks. His defensive ability isn’t as much a matter of technique as a combination of speed and pride. Already 5’11” and around 180 pounds, Moore’s defensive game should translate in the NHL as he fills out over the next few years. The combination of defensive puck-winning and speed in transition set his floor as a checking center with better speed than Joel Eriksson Ek. Elite Prospects compared him to Dylan Larkin, and Moore confirmed it. “I like to model my game after Dylan Larkin,” Moore told the EP draft guide. “[He] pushes the pace, uses his speed all over the ice…. [I]like to model my game after him.”"

I guess. I suppose in a way it adds to the excitement of the ACGM on how to dump bad contracts.

3.1 mil per

So Flames give up a first, a fifth, and a fourth, and Tyler Pitlick to get Toffoli who scores 34 G and 79 points and then trade him for a guy who scores 13 goals and a third round pick and costs 1 mil a year less.


Yeah Flames came out on top of that deal

I'd be very disappointed if they took Danielson at 11. The names I listed in your quote could fall out of the top 10. Danielson is a reach at 11.

They also gave up Emil Heineman, who's a good young prospect they got from Florida in the Sam Bennett trade.

Reuby never played nintendo ice hockey as a child. He doesn’t Understand roster construction. You need some big fattys, some skinny speedsters and some average shaped players

I wouldn't mind poaching Dube to play with Dakota. Canucks are looking at Miles Wood. Hathaway is a free agent .

He comes across as a nice enough person externally, however, he's a POS old-school coach cut from the same cloth as Tortorella. Torts just doesn't hide it like Babs does.
