I figured they would " HELP OUT" the Hawks like they " HELPED OUT" the Oilers.

Edmonton won too much, so they had to make things painfully boring.

Yep or keep it and be aggressive in the offseason - one can dream:

Peterka Thompson Tuch
Benson. Stamkos Kane
Kulich. Cozens. Quinn
Greenway wahlberg/krebs. Rousek/savoie

Dahlin. Tanev
Byram. Power
Joker. Sammy
Clifton

UPL

The #GoSensGo have 24 hours to decide if they will forfeit their 2024 1st round pick or push the decision to either 2025 or 2026, due to the invalid Evgenii Dadonov trade.

Ah yes the ol build through UFA strategy that always works.

Where are you getting 10m for Stamkos and minimum 6m for Kane from?

I cant believe there is anyone in here even pretending we need another Benson this year lol We need good veterans(doesnt mean 35yrs old) who won't have growing pains to help continue development of a player like the real Benson

Good God. After the 'its only a 1 year deal' the phenom and expecting linear progression failed miserably this season there should be no one wanting to keep this draft pick

They need to start winning now and the roster might barely be good enough to make the playoffs if UPL is going to keep playing like he did 2nd half

Time to upgrade and not a single excuse is acceptable for failing to do so

It's just like last summer. Need to do things, but the GM isn't good at doing things.

They did say they were running it back last year.. they've said this year they're looking for 2 forwards. See what happens

Im highly concerned about adams ability to do it but have to remain optimistic that there is some real pressure on him this year

For better or worse if his job is on the line he has to make some moves

Not how I remember it. They were looking for a bigger upgrade on D, a G, and F. They just struck out.

The first big move this offseason would be adams first big move he didn't have to make

Time to sack up

Just knowing we aren't going to get Granato guys is reason for some optimism. Let's see how the dynamics change with Lindy.

Rags got the most ‘help’ recently. Moved up to #2 to get kakko then the following year moved to #1 to get laffy after making the f-ing playoffs in the covid shortened season. All while they were merely re-tooling with a few down years. That’ll get you right back to the top. After that the other GMs pushed for the ‘Ranger Rules’ to stop bettman from helping his big market original 6 teams. Can’t move up more than 10 spots, can’t win the lottery more than once in 5 years.

Yea but then they ruined their franchise by trading for Pat Kane and Vlad Taresenko.

If Yakemchuk is on the board, think I might keep the pick unless that trade really moves the Needle

Can't move more than twice in 5 years. Fortunately, the Sabres have never moved up.

We’re 22million under the cap next year and the cap prob goes up.

Not saying likely, just saying possible and signing those 3 would pay itself with season ticket sales

They may have 22m of cap space, but that's with 12 players on the roster.

Believe the cap number for next year is final, isn't it?

I think 14 players and skinner could be bought out. Or saying to do it, just a possibility

I assume Girgensons get about 4-6 of it cause he’s so god damn important.
