It is hard to speculate on what the trade would be, I would imagine 1 offensive lineman and a 1st at minimum, but hard to speculate on, really depends on their needs and who we are even willing on giving up.

It won't be as much as you state.

Gaines wanted to sign Clowney long term, O'Brien did not. O'Brien won and Gaines ended up back in Buffalo.

Clowney isn;t an elite pass rusher but he is an elite defender - he has the 2nd most TFLs in the lat 5 years behind Donald. He would also play DE fro Buffalo insetad of OLB as he does in Houston.

Eichel
Skinner
Reinhart
Mittelstadt
Vesey
Johansson (have to, I believe)
Okposo (have to, I believe)

Miller
Montour
Ristolainen (McCabe if Ristolainen is traded).

Ullmark

Dahlin should be exempt.
- buffalofan19

Only have to protect “NMC” guys
Mojo & Okposo just have an NTC, so we can let them be available
*the expansion draft is in 2021 though,
so MoJo will be a UFA & we won’t have to worry about him

Dahlin would not be exempt,
we’d need to protect him

Good post
Although i wouldn’t hate it if Okposo got another shot with him (hides)

You better hide after that comment

I just think we have better options. Sheary, MoJo, Sam, Vesey.... hell. Even Tage is probably a better fit on that line than Okposo at this point.

I am worried about giving up too much in a trade, but man our D would be very scary if the Bills got him.

Most likely
But i still think Okposo can be an effective player
And if he can play well on the top line,
then that give us depth
And possible makes him attractive enough to trade to someone 😁😁😁

I'd be worried about him turning into another Albert Haynesworth type of player. I just don't think he would be motivated enough once he gets a massive, long term contract.

You focused on half a sentence and mis-characterized my entire point, while reinforcing a key part of what I said: everyone has their whipping boy.

J Crag isn’t the only person to bash Girgs & Larsson

Pegulaville isn’t the only one who thinks Skinner is overpaid

Half the board wants to trade Risto

Etc, etc, etc

The players get bashed here all the time

Tends to happen when you root for a bad team.

Florida had a stellar off season beginning with the hire of three-time Stanley Cup-winning head coach Joel Quenneville. They followed that up with a trade for 70-point winger Mike Hoffman and also added two-time Vezina-winner Sergei Bobrovsky (CLB) to man the pipes. The Cats continued to fill their roster by adding veteran Anton Stralman (TBL) to solidify the defense plus role players Noel Accari (BOS) and Brett Connolly (WSH) up-front.

You do know Hoffman wasn’t an offseason acquisition?

Still missing the point, but it was yesterday's topic, and it wasn't all that interesting then.

I think UPL will need to be protected. Last season was his first under a pro contract.

"Players with no-movement clauses will be protected automatically. Also, any first- or second-year professionals and all unsigned draft choices are exempt."

He would have 3 years as a "professional ".

he absolutely will never under any circumstances need protection

panthers might be trying to trade for one of our RBs

he absolutely will never under any circumstances need protection
- TheSabresTaco

In fairness, it's because last season isn't considered a professional year because he played in Rochester under an ATO, despite having an NHL contract. If you weren't aware of that technicality, he looks eligible.

- homiedclown

Really? So a 7th round pick then? Mccaffery is their workhorse, so must not be a big move.

they were saying on nfl radio yesterday panthers were looking for a short yardage and goal line back who can catch the football
