if its Fowler for Girgensons and a 3rd or girgensons and pysyk i can live with it. i would not be happy moving 8 for fowler

And Jason Gregor is who exactly?

41.1 K followers host of some radios show in Edmonton and also writes for the Edmonton Journal. I just saw him today but he seems like he knows the landscape of the NHL. Hope he's wrong but more and more legit journalists are saying 8 for Fowler with other pieces involved for both is very realistic and plausible...

Fowler would be a nice addition, just not involving the #8.

We would still be missing a solid partner for Risto.

Unless they have faith McCabe is taking that step

I won't hate it if Fowler comes here but I don't really get it. He's not a #2, and we don't know how good Risto is going to be.

Defense might actually be a real problem down the road

I remember a couple years ago we thought we were so set on defense. Oh how the times change.

Any idiot can be a journalist these days, just need a computer I guess.

Then Murray needs to be gone now.

Also, I lived in Edmonton for 15 years, most journalists there can spell hockey but that's a different discussion for a different day.

Ennis for Brodin and call it a day, Anaheim can go eff themselves.

I know. We still could be who knows.

I really think we need another stud though

They sucked ass at the beginning of the season the. Some how made the playoffs. Then sucked in the playoffs. The formula has a flaw.

I believe they were the best team in the league for a long stretch in the middle of the season.

We might need to bring back Darcy as an assistant G.M. We can let Murray tell him what he wants, but when it comes to negotiating the price we send in Darcy to make the deal happen.

Then we'll wait, and wait, and wait then get multiple trades that get us only 2nd round picks. Yay!!

- bobmack13

No to #8. Yes to Fowler. Don't screw this up GMTM

if its Fowler for Girgensons and a 3rd or girgensons and pysyk i can live with it. i would not be happy moving 8 for fowler
- Pegullaville

yes to either of these scenarios. 89 had Fowler for Girgs a while ago. That would be a homerun at this point

Hey, Darcy sucked, but when he pulled the trigger he won his trades. Nobody could say that he ever overpaid.

I like Murray and the moves he's made however, he's just the type of screw ball that would trade the 8th pick for Fowler and then try to justify it as a good move and its not.

He's way smarter than that ..............

Just got home fom 716 and a few parties there. The buffalo sabres are going to make a huge splash.the buffalo sabres are trying to trade for his rights. They will be able to give him 8 years. They will do whatever to get him,Guaranteed. Vesey will sign.

If we get Stammer and Vesey = awesome. However, any news on what TM is willing to give up to get Fowler? Please not #8.

Him being Stamkos I take it; Any other trade updates? Fowler? The 8th is not going to be part of the Fowler deal.

There's a serious lack of faith in Murray on this board. There is NO WAY that we are trading the #8 for Cam Freakin Fowler. In 9 hours I'll say "I told you so". Murray is a hockey mind, he's not stupid.
- bobmack13

Could not agree more ............. I have no idea where all the hate came from out of the blue on Murray ........... like he's some loose cannon that tries to do stupid shiet.

- Mentalorgasm5

When he said they will trade for him, then does that give them TB's rights and enable them to sign him to 8 years like they can?

If we get Fowler tomorrow, Stamkos is the top priority folks just found out. 12 mill they are ready to pay him. They want Fowler, Stamkos and Vesey and also another D man. Chad Johnson talk has started with maybe bringing him back. Get ready

The sabres are not trading the 8th for fowler. They want him bad. I heard earlier it is girgensons and pysyk or a 3rd for fowler

- GilPerreault11

Edit: Why else would they trade for him? Tomorrow everyone can negotiate with him.

Totally agree ,pegula wants stamkos and he will overpay. What people dont undertsand ,to get a talent like stamkos ,you would have to give up,reinhart,a first,girgensons and guhle and that might not do it. So what if you overpay 2 to 4 million a year. That is gionta or a moulson contract who suck
