2 year deal won't get it, 3 or more.

3 championship in 6 seasons in Chicago, I'd be sort of okay with that in Buffalo, would think??

2008 njd 6g 29a +27
2009 njd 7g 22a +21
2010 njd/atl 3g 10a +8, 67 games
2011/2012 atl/win bad teams stats okay
And as I explained before, it's not about stats with him

Top 4 dman on chi - which would make him okay for top 4 on Buffalo I would think??

That's fine but a 2 year deal won't get him to come here, he's already turned down a deal from the Sabres.

They are not going to get big deals at all, but they also won't be bargain priced like they are now.

The year after that is when things become a bit more tricky with Eichel becoming an RFA and Kane being a UFA.

The progress of the following group is going to be crucial going forward regarding the teams long term success related to the cap: Martin, Florentino, McCabe, Pysyk, Bailey, Baptiste, Olofsson, Karabacek, Carrier, Fasching.

If you don't sign Oduya, to me, you are taking a more patient approach for the D core, with a two pronged plan of attach for next offseason being something like Yandle as your big FA target and your top 5-7 pick being used on a high end D man.

Despite what many may think, I almost like that approach better than going big on Oduya for longer than 3 years.

I'm fine with your approach. I'm also fine with a ufa like Oduya. Both of those options are 1000x better than trading a good prospect for someone like Jay Bo. I want Bailey Baltiste and our 2016 1st. I'll be annoyed if we trade any of the three.

The Avs wanted Risto, Gringo, a pick and Bailey for ROR + and Murray said no chance.

That gives me more confidence in TM. I think the ROR deal was fair for both sides.

I like the ROR deal, I don't like the Lehner deal. IMO he's not a starter and his concussion history make's me nervous.

when are they going to move Larsson

I'm mot sold about giving up #21 for lehner but I'll keep an open mind and hope TM knows he got a starter. If he did, good on him. But I'm skeptical.

Do they have to?

Murray has said multiple times he likes Foligno
- sbroads24

For now!!!
If he does not perform with better players around him, he is toast!

That was a HUGE risk on GMTM's part.
One that he might regret, I hope not!

As of now we don't have a choice.

44 should play every game over the other players you mentioned IMO.

- gerbe75pts

doesn't matter, who says they will play center.

Sharp said he was shocked to learn he was traded to the Stars really ? you have a no trade and you must have waived to go there. Lindy will ruin him.

First step should be to make him play center....because he did it once by accident in Pee-wee....or because he knows how to spell it or something.
