Duchene+ to MTL is what they want back for Subban

EDM offer for Subban is #4, RNH and Musil

Shattenkirk confirmed gone

Sabres draft preference:
1. Trade the pick
2. Draft a d man - Juvoli is the primary target

Anaheim trade may include rights to McGinn

- mattmoulson


Just interesting they would feature him, when he is rumored to be traded. Drive up price?

I know Eichel is going nowhere, so he would have been safe / obvious choice.

STL basically has to trade him. Now it just comes down to whom?

I would rather have Shattenkirk than Fowler.

ive been bracing myself for this. every fan base overvalues their own players. girgensons is a third line/middle six at best forward coming off of an 18 point season. that doesnt get you near a 25 year old top 4 d by himself. anaheim fans were turning their noses up at girgensons +8 on a different board a few weeks ago. if it goes down this way, so be it. whats interesting to me is that i firmly believe that there is zero chance that bogosian gets moved if fowler comes here. there is just no way he is going to lose the physical play from the roster. none.

If that's the case, fine, let the keep Fowler. He's middle pairing, will never be a top a top pair guy. We already have our middle pairing set, and probably will have two more on the way with Nelson and Guhle. I would so much rather make the pick at #8 take one of the defensemen and then see how they develop over the next two seasons. At least one of them may have a top pair ceiling in their future, Fowler doesn't.

makes me feel and probably stamkos feel that they really don't want him
- homiedclown


It is definitely a "we want you but it has to fit in our cap to keep these other guys too. You are not really as important as the face of this team and we think we can still be very good without you. So take it or leave it"

Type approach if you ask me.

Rumbling: FLA preparing eight-year, $60M-ish extension for Aaron Ekblad. He can sign any time after July 1. Team and agent decline comment.

NOT HELPING WITH RISTO FLA!!!! NOT HELPING AT ALL!!!

- JVince11


They aren't in the same stratosphere. No offense to Risto, but we've pretty much accepted that he's a quality/high end #2 with the POTENTIAL to be a #1. Ekblad is a #1. Better in his own end, and has 10 more points in 30 less games. Risto should be compared to Maatta, although Risto's slightly better IMO. I would love an extension of 6-8 years at 5.5-6 Mil

Man I never realized how bad RNH has been for EDM as a #1 overall pick until this moment.


Ennis has a higher goals per game average than RNH does.

RNH has a higher points per game average though.


- JVince11


He is actually a decent player. They MUST get back a #1 center for Subban and he isn't it.

I think they should have all the confidence in the world as Galychenyuk as their #1 center. I love watching that kid play.
