How many teams was Fowler going to this year? Since when was Shea Weber on the trading block?

I think we all know 90% of speculation is horse poop.

If a team really wants a player, they'll make it happen one way or the other. Rumors are grains of salt. Boston is flopping and their rumor mill mentions are peaking. Sabres are fumbling around between playoffs and 28th place, so every time the roller coaster goes does down, Evander Kane is going to Vancouver.

In trade talks sure, i was referring to free agency.

im pretty sure NYR was always on the list of teams mentioned. He and Hayes are pretty close.

What's the closest NYR have been to the cup. Or won it ?

Sure. Some are accurate, some not so much. Stamkos was all over the place, but it's too fluid. No one knows where these players are going until like 7-5 days before July 1st. Even then, I don't think we heard Okposo's name till like June 30th. Could be wrong.

There's always the business side that may not allow the player or the org to hook up with the other.

All I'm saying is, if there's a player out there that fits the mold, don't count him out because you hear midseason that if he becomes a FA, hes going here or there.

Berglund or Hanzal might be good options

DD and I have liked Berglund for a while now.

im not counting him out because NYR are the favourites. Im not even counting him out period. Im just saying hes going to be the best UFA at a very desirable position (Right shot d-man) and we are at the moment not a very desirable place for UFA's. So unless hes best buddies with someone here its very unlikely he signs here for market value.

There's a very real chance you'd have to give him close to 8 mil because i guarantee someone like Boston or Toronto will give 6.5-to 7

We have $24.5M in cap space for next season and have Lehner, Foligno, Girgs and Larsson to re-sign. That could eat up 8-9 plus if we re-sign Fedun and Falk another 2 total. If we trade/lose Bogo, Gorges or De-Lo that's another savings. We could be looking at possibly $15M available to sign a guy or two.

But remember Eichel and Reinhart will be due raises the year after and only Gorges big hit will be coming off the books

Agreed. He has 11 goals in 47 games this year and getting about 15:00 toi. It might take 4+ to get him but on a 3 year deal, yes. He would be ideal as 3C and 2nd pp.

If we could move Ennis and his contract, all the better.

So, The Avs aren't very good. Just trying to deflect conversation away from Lehner for a bit.
