Rick Nash on the move?
- Stripes77



Nash+ for Shattenkirk?

Edit: I figure salary would have to be going out of st louis too in a different move but it wouldn''t shock me

I don't how many football (soccer) fans there are in here but Champions League draw presentation has got to be the single most cringe worthy tv event i have ever seen. Like from start to finish ive been grinding my teeth

Manchester United isn't in it this year...so I'm not interested

Only reason I'll prolly watch is the Man U Alum CR7

kane
ennis
moulson
girgens
foligno
larsson
nylander

if 4 of them can't get it done, we got big problems

- homiedclown


We've got big problems. Ennis is a question mark due to his health and also he hasn't played much LW. Moulson is done. Girgensons is not a top six player on even a 10th placed team. Foligno is not a top six player on even a 13th placed team. Larsson isn't a top six player on ANY NHL team. And Nylander likely won't be rushed into NHL duties. Instead starting in Rochester

Vesey and Nash for 2nd rounder? lol

Nash has a huge cap hit, should get very interesting trying to move him (as well as No trade Clause?) But interestingly enough, Nash does NOT have to be protected for Las Vegas draft next year.

But he's absolutely capable of doing it.

Kane, Ennis, Girgensons. Its not perfect by any means and i would like them to add one more name but hardly consider it "screwed". Eichel and O'Reilly are very good at making players around them look better than they actually are.

Tell that to the pathetic players they had on Jack's left side last year..

Didn't Jacks production go up once they put Kane on his line with Reinhart? Instead of Gionta and McGinn who were there before? It's not that dire, at least for now.

If Bolland injured in 2016-17:
Datsyuk + Bolland cap hits: $13M
Datsyuk + Bolland salary paid: $1.1M
From Generalfanager

Tell me you would not have wanted the Sabres to make those trades (that Coyotes made) for these two.... Sure we would have had to shed cap to make it happen, but getting the two players they got, Crouse and Chychrun, would offset that quite a bit.

Damn. Their GM looks pretty darn smart right not.

Im leaning towards that too. I think that top 6 can get you in the playoffs. Blueline and bottom 6 are a bigger concern for me.

13 mil in cap hits though, how would we have made it work. And Im sorry but Chychrun and Crouse are not enticing enough for me to take that hit.

Top 4 I'm pleased with. O'Riley, Okposo, Eichel, Reinhart

Kane I'd be pleased with if we knew he wasn't going to be suspended or worse arrested.

Ennis I don't count in the top six because he hasn't even proven he can play anymore

No one else on the team deserves to be top six unless Nylander performs in Eichel like status.

IF Nylander comes out of the gate like this....I see us challenging for the cup next year.

It would have been a slight step backwards, that is the major concern for Murray (job security).

Oh well, lets just hit on a few of these young players in rounds 3 (or later) and we should be set. (in future years)

As for this year, need another solid forward (might just be Ennis) and top 4 D (very hard to obtain) and we will be in the second round of the playoffs.

Rieder and a PMD could really put this team in a good position. I think Quincey is awful

Hearing NYR to sign Brandon Pirri. One year approx $1.1M

Edmonton East, but worse

Ignore problems on the blueline and stack up OTHER PEOPLE's DRAFT BUNGLES.

The Rags need d help, not more forwards. Looks like Vesey will be in the AHL before Xmas. I would think a trade might be coming there.
- mhp

Rick Nash for Girgs and the worse of our/minny's 2nd rounder. Pull the trigger. I want:


Kane-RoR-Okposo
Nash-Eichel-Reinhart
