You do realize he just completed his rookie year right? Calling him a stud right now is just stupid. Do you remember Myers? He was supposed to be putting up 50+ points a year. And he ain't top notch since his rookie campaign.

What does Myers have to do with Monahan? If Monahan was in this draft he'd be going 1st overall.

You could, but why risk it if it is not worth it?
- ImThatGuy

It's worth it if they can get who they really want (especially with the later picks)

He's not eligible for a reduced qualifier though...........


A proper fixed would've been "He's eligible to not get qualified".

1st, I don't know. Drouin, Barkov, Jones, Mackinnon I get but I don't know that Lindholm or Monahan would be locks for 1st this year.

Ehrhoff to Det for 15

31+49 for 24

2,15,24

Dont move back and still can get the picks you need/want.

I gotta say how ridiculous it is for people to be slotting McDavid into our lineup already.

Did I miss an entire year of hockey and we finished dead last again?

Ever hear the saying......

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

Might wanna heed that so you won't get upset if we don't get McDavid(it is possible ya know, he is not guaranteed to be a Sabre.)

Been saying that for months now.


Reed less, post more.

Rather they try and get a player like Pulkkinen.

If you move Hoff it had better be for NHL ready players. If you want another 1st, do something like the rumored Pittsburgh deal.

You could do that on top of the Hoff deal for 15 have 2,15,22,24.

I think the move w//Ehrhoff is to either wait till next yr (or at least till the deadline) to move him.

His presence allows guys like Risto & Zadorov to simmer in the AHL.


Now should Ekblad fall to us.. Somebody's gettin traded.

So let's just say VAN trades up and picks Reinhart. I'm kinda okay with selecting Ekblad. He's good friends with McDavid and everyone's already slotting him on our team haha

I am curious is FLA will make a trade. Murray has deals for the extra 1st already on the table it's really does he want to make that deal. Anyone like Martin Erat?

Also group consensus with Virtanen and Tuch are targets with extra 1st but also would hope to snag Ehlers if possible. See Grigorenko and picks for why deal is possible.

Also heard rumor Coyotes are wanting to trade Yandle for NYI's 5th pick

If we were so desperate for a true #1 center for so many years I would agree.

You could do that on top of the Hoff deal for 15 have 2,15,22,24.
- ImThatGuy

And the point of that is what?


People need to stop with the 1st rd pick hard on's.

Trade Hoff for two NHL ready/roster players.

Trade 39 for Scuds and 22.

Use 31 and 22 to get to 13-16.


There is a cap floor trading Hoff for more picks hinders you in doing that.

He's not eligible for a reduced qualifier though...........

I like what you did there.

I'll pass on Erat.

If the Yotes are offering Yandle, I'd think the NYI would take that.

Dreger says Kesler deal close. pehaps next 24 hours

If Kessler gets done, U know Vancouver is goin up to the top of the Mt.

Personally I don't get why every offseason the Yotes are shopping Yandle?

Dude hasn't missed a game in 5+ seasons.

Assuming that happens, I'll say it now, we got so (frank)ed!

Or they're getting a center they feel can play #2 mins back in the deal.

I get what you are saying but with his play last year Risto should be on this roster after training camp. Play him in the 3-4 role and see how he handles it before you dump more responsibility on him.

Zadorov will probably be in juniors next year. He can't play in the AHL.

When it comes to moving Ehrhoff I think you will get the most out of him now rather than waiting until the trade deadline as he is already showing signs of not wanting to be here and not really giving it his all. It will hurt the return if we wait IMO.

- Buffalo-Sabres

They still get one of the best prospects in the draft in Ekblad or move back with Calgary and take Bennett.

Vancouver-Reinhart
Calgary-Ekblad
Edmonton-Draisaitl
Buffalo-Bennett

Your an idiot.

I'm stating a fact man. What does Myers have to do with Monhan? All you have to do is use your brain on this one. Myers had a great rookie just like Monahan and we were calling him a stud just like that yet we learned he wasn't the big time stud we thought he was. Monahan can be the exact same thing.

You got to start reading the posts thoroughly and understand them before you start running your mouth man.
- Jammerz04

That might get you a time out.
Might want to clean it up.

Just my 2 cents.
