Seems GMTM likes Okposo

I'd rather just draft at 8. Get a LHD.

Chances are any d-man chosen at 8 won't hit the NHL til 18/19 season. If they dump Ennis/Pysyk/Girgensons (2 or 3 of them) to move up for Tkachuk, I think he's probably playing in 17/18, with the possibility of even stepping right in this season.

Agreed, incredibly overrated

And wait 4-6 years for him to develop.

#4 will play right away IMO and if rumors are true #4 gets flipped for #3 and #3 plays right away without question.

Still allows you to find a taker for Moulson and I'd say if Moulson's 5 and Ennis's 4.6 turns into Stamkos at 10-11, the vast majority here would rejoice.

Stamkos
Eichel
Reinhart
Tkachuk
ROR
Kane

That's a Stanley cup contending top 6 and slots their bottom 6 right where they should be.

Thanks for the info but still...

Moulson v2.0, but add a pre-condition of a prior detached retina...sounds like just what the team needs.

Where did this come from? I've heard that GMTM like Puljujarvi too but I didn't know how reliable it was.

Agreed, incredibly horrible

Issue is hit and term.

IMO if he wants 6 mil it needs to be 3 years or less on term.

The only UFA that should get more than 3 years is Stamkos.

It's been floating around for a while now.

How reliable is anything really though?

I know they were never really in on him but this just wreaks of Richards-Leino 2.0 only worse I feel like they'll do it just to say they did something when they miss out on Stamkos.

So they're gonna try and make a winger a center?

I'd give Eriksson 4 years... that takes him to age 34. But that is it.

Only 1 season with less than 20 goals in his career. Coming off a 30 goal season.

Worse, they're going to try and pretend he's good.

Touche.

If it is from an actual writer that puts his name on it vs @HockeyRumors or @HockeyyyInsiderr

That has weight IMO.

silence

I am watching it tonight

I don't recommend you read the Pens threads...bunch of spoilers there.

Hockey Hotline said that someone on ESPN? said that they expect a trade involving the NYR today...anyone heard anything on this?

Holy hell....that was intense!

Best episode in a long time.

Wouldn't count on ESPN to have any form of "scoop".

Think it came from Mirtle as well...

@NHLRumorsDaily
According to @mirtle, NYR very active. Could be the team that makes a deal today

Well the EDM folks just said they don't want 3rd pairing quality Pysyk and that Griffin Reinhart is better than he is.

I decided to just X that box.

Good lord...

People on Twitter like Chris Ostrander of 2ITB wants to trade Bogo and #8 for Eberle. But says we would have to add the likes of Pysyk or Girgensons for Hall.


The overvalue is STRONG in this one. WOW. Ennis basically has the same number of 20 goal seasons percentage as Hall does and games played per season.
- JVince11

Agressive takes over there by 2ITB

We need players who either make other players even better or can produce points by themselves without benefiting from a top 5 C in the league. IMO Okposo is not that person. Pass.
