Strome would be a nice grab also but, he is playing on the Hawks and that bumps his value a little more IMO. Rather have Monahan but all options should be open.

I brought it up, that the Sabres tried to get Strome and Kubalik about 2 weeks before the deadline.

too many factors

2020-21 will be a shortened season

expansion draft right after it

we have a rookie gm

a bunch of prospects that show promise and a blue chip with pick 8

make some tweaks and let a few scrubs walk

Botts (frank)ed that up, should have never tried to get Kubalik in the deal.

he is literally one of the top 2 or 3 prospects already drafted in the nhl not playing with the big club


best thing they could do is let him sign overseas until training camp starts

That might not even be an option for a CHL player.

Mitts, Johnson and I never heard the other pieces, cause it never went any further. Could have had Strome for Mitts and a D prospect at that time.

Re Monahan,
I'm not on board with trading the 8-OA for him, nor Cozens either.
Adams has to push back on that hard, walk away if necessary.
An alternate package needs to be floated that retains those 2 pieces from among:
Mojo, Risto, Montour, Miller, Mitts, Tage, 2021-1st, Borgen...even Sam, but then the + is limited.

At the same time, I'm reflecting on the rumor of weeks ago that a deal for a 2C and a Top 6 winger was being worked on that would make fans happy ... so does that mean, to 89's point that if 8-OA is involved a bigger deal is being discussed? If so, who else would you want? Jakob Pelletier?

- IonSabres


If Marco Rossi is there at pick 8, I'm not trading that pick. Hell no.

I believe Strome would cost less in term and cap hit to get than Monahan due to the Blackhawks having Toews and Dach at Center already along with wanting to pay and keep Kubalik.

If that is true, strike 17 against Botterill.

Just telling what I heard, Botts pushed it to far.

Really? I want nothing to do with a Dylan Strome contract or player.

As soon as we get him we will want to upgrade
