“On Tavares....

Each day now I have another source telling me it is more likely that Tavares stays on the Island...”

Wishful thinking by NYI management.

Lehner is 4 Million for 1 year Allen at 4.35 for 4 years

Blues would take that easily

if he bounces back great if he doesn't move on and we have Husso

- sycsam


FOr some reason i thought Allen was an RFA.

Either way I still do it.

Lehner I doubt takes a 1 year deal, he did that this year and it backfired. Nor do I expect him to not get a salary increase.

Which is why he's only gonna get a 1 year deal at 4+ or a multiple year deal at a lower value in hopes of rebounding and getting a more lucrative deal

Is Pizza Hut's 5 buck,5 buck,5 buck deal good or are they overpriced to begin with?

Ok looks like Blues are pushing Allen out of town for pennies on the dollar...ok.


Take Neuvirth and a 2nd. Thank you.

Didn't Allen have just one bad year, while Lehner has never really put together a good year. Why would the Blues make this trade?? Starting goalies being fairly hard to find. It's like trading Andersen for James Reimer.
- mgriffen


Exactly. Selling low on Allen is short-sighted. Lehner has been overrated since GMTM vastly overpaid for him.

Some Blues posters salivate over Allen's inconsistency, failing to recognize a ton of starting NHL netminders were in the same boat last season. Including the one that won the Stanley Cup. Yet they fail to mention the team's awful power play, which was a bigger factor in not making the playoffs.

Husso hasn't dominated in the AHL for a whole season himself, he's best served getting the lion's share of minutes in San Antonio and then backing up a season with the Blues before you start handing him the #1 job and thinking you are a playoff team. His future is bright, but thinking he's your guy after next season is pushing it.

If the Sabres trade Risto, their #1 RHD would then be Bogosian. Think about that.....Bogosian. That's bad enough, but then what would they do for the other 70 games, when Bogo is hurt?

Risto isn't being traded.

O'Reilly also isn't being traded as JBotts doesn't want to put the #2 Center responsibility on Mitts as of yet.

That's a pretty bold thing to say when it's been well known he is on the block

Allen is 28, and has either missed or sucked in the playoffs in 13 of the 14 years he played hockey. This isn't selling low, his value is about it where it normally is play wise. Only before, he had some value based on "potential" and now he is old enough most people realize he isn't going to suddenly develop the mental fortitude he's lacked since he came into juniors.

guy is +51 in the last 3 seasons with the Caps without putting a lot of point on the boards... -7 last year and he was not playing in his chair at all... find me a d-men who is +44 in last 4 years....i'm sure they are all big names with a lot of points on the board...

Adam Larsson is +48 past 4 seasons. 74 points in that time.

And all it would cost to get him would be a Taylor Hall calibre player.

Why would James Neal voluntarily go to Buffalo?


Isn’t that what people said when we were said to be the favourites for Okposo?

Haters always going to hate.

Who the hell do you think Pacioretty is? Alzner is basically an unmentionable.
