Evander Kane being interviewed now on MSG - seems excited!

How can you not be geared up for next year! Bogo is a beast and we will get another top forward (many of you are saying Kessel or ROR), wonder if TM is looking at a Skinner type of player - besides our top pick this summer?

? - do you think we can get Fucale or Subban? I think Murray has something in mind and watching Neuvirth play all these games now, I believe TM is trying to deal him also.

- Irish 14

I still maintain there is no need to go after a Goalie now. sign Neuvirth.
Kid is playing well..?he isn't the problem on this team, well in terms of playing well thatis...he is however killing out tank. He needs to get "hurt" again.

I hear ya Irish. In my view the only trades Murray will make at the deadline are moving out some of his rentals. I just don't see some of these teams trading their really good goalie prospects, they'd be crazy.

I'm not crazy about trading for Kessel or ROR. ROR is a big risk because he'll be a UFA. I'd rather go hard after him then. I just don't see a Buff/Tor trade regarding Kessel.

Murray will make some major noise at the draft.

I'm down with that M, let them develop together

I'd like to see Tim get another top 4 D in the offseason, a UFA so we don't deplete our prospects...the use the draft for a winger after hopefully getting McEichel.

Old, expensive and a D liability. Need someone more solid for the Top 4"
.
Risto and Big Z for PP.

He'll be 29, not that expensive for his production and more importantly his label as a D liability is grossly over exaggerated. He's no brick wall but he's not Meszaros or Benoit back there. Unless he's asking for north of 6.5 and 6 or more years it's not a bad investment.

Gives you the ability to package one of the other prospects for a game changer forward.

Sign Frolik and either Oduya or Beauchemin.

Make a trade with one of the teams that are in cap jail at the draft.

Draft Eichel and Colin White.

Reinhart starts the year in Rochester. Right thing.

The re-build takes serious shape by August.

I like the moves! Especially the cap strapped teams aspect...should be able to get some value there.

So, 11 shots after 2 periods..the under 20 bet is looking strong.
Question is do they hold the Rangers to less than 5 goals.

Went unnoticed when we drafted him but the fact that he can play in Rochester as early as next year fits the timeline very well.

exploiting the cap jailed teams is fine but they have to be careful not to put themselves in a position of weakness either. They've got space now but if the core of young players become as good as we think we'll need that space over the next few years.

The whole idea of making a trade with a cap strapped team should be interesting. If the cap doesn't go up next year, teams like Boston, Chicago, Philly and LA might be willing to move some players.

I hear ya, gotta be a bit careful on that trade with a team in cap jail.

Having Reinhart in Rochester next year will be great for his development.

Since the Amerks aren't going to make the playoffs either, after the deadline do you think we see Pysyk, McCabe, Grigs, etc sooner than later?

If they move Meszaros they should call up Pysyk. If Stewart or Mitchell go, they could call up Grigorenko, if he's healthy. Or call up Varone.

I think Pysyk and Grigs will be up. Hackett might be as well to get him RFA status. I think McCabe could do with a little more time in Rochester.

The Bruins are down 3-1 right now. If they lose Florida can pass them into 8th tomorrow against the Sens.
