Still an outside chance StL could miss the playoffs.

you can make a case for either

I would say that last night was a close call but for the rest of the tournament Domi had the upper hand. Anyway, both Domi and Reinhart are great players who will have great NHL careers.

Also, you guys should never trade Tyler Myers, especially not before he enters his prime because you will never get fair value. The kid is a #1 dman in the making

I think if Myers sticks around, and Nolan then Staal and Martin may be targeted.

If an offensive minded coach is brought in next season, don't be shocked if they kick the tires with Green

If Myers is a good contract for a 2/3 d man, why wouldn't stall be the same at 6 per?

I think 2 more bigger contracts will occur this off season, 3 if they move coho.
If Staff/Stewart come back, I'll see you on the Tampa boards

If myers sticks around why would we target a dman. We have enough young dman coming up. We need offense. If we get mcdavid or eichel we would be set at center. So, all we need is top ling wingers. Then let our young guys develop.

Your attitude has become an issue, I will inform Navin.

I believe Halak missed a bunch of those. He is back now though.

Myers is one more poop year from being a BUST and you want the wings to give you a potential game-breaker in Mantha, an NHL stud in Nyquist AND then some??? DELUSIONAL sabres fans will get nothing more than a 1st round pick and a package of 2 above average players..1st, Jurco and Dekeyser is more than fair for the big Dman that may have things "written all over him", but until that translates to on-ice success that doesnt mean squat.

A lot of big words in your post, i'm very impressed.

I like Halek

For that reason, I would trade Myers, Stafford and a first rounder today for Max Domi and Arizona’s first rounder.

if your top 4 d men are myers, staal, martin and risto

your back end can compete with any team

put z in rochester for a year, have gorges and pysyk play 5/6

if you land a big 2 center at the draft, you still need to spend to the cap floor and with girgens, reinhart and center x at the draft, your built to start a run next year

coho, gionta, moulson, ennis, foligno are good enough wingers with that lineup

Your attitude has become an issue, I will inform Navin.

You might not end up picking in the top 2 this year. And you will be god damn fine with Reinhart and Girgensons as your #1-2 centers. To me, your biggest needs are a 2 top 6 wingers (one of them needs to be a top line talent), an experienced dman to play top minutes with Myers (a guy like Marc Staal) and a legitimate #1 goalie. Enroth is a great back up but he can't carry the load of the starting job over a 82 games season.

Your trade assets should be Grigorenko, Stewart and your 1st pick if you fall out of the top 2.

We do not have to worry about a goalie... With a solid d core you can win with an average goalie. Defenses make goalies. Remember that. And btw Enroth has been insanely good. He soul reason why we have won more games than expected this season so far.

I am not saying they should. I think we have a fantastic top 4 d already in the system so for me it wouldn't make sense to spend the money on defense.

Exactly. Goalies are running backs.

ok that makes sense. I knew he was out but i didn't know he was back.. i hope he goes down again for a while...
