Is Ennis your preference for who should go? Seems many hope it's Bogo. I'm hoping for Moulson myself.

I would love to get rid of Moulson, I just feel Ennis is the most realistic. I feel they might want to take a chance on him, and it wouldn't cost us any assets.

Buffalo has not talked to Kovalchuk but he would be available to talk with them.

Russian players have always liked Buffalo, GMTM was the one to run people out of the town.

I'm hoping Moulson's personal relationship with GMGM makes him the choice for Vegas.

We got a nice , big , young D man that we needed and some people are still complaining, if we wold have done nothing they would be complaining we did nothing.

Kovalchuk will go to a contender, we aren't there yet.

I would love him on the team, but at 34 he doesn't really fit the build.

Didn't really cost much either and it's a position that we needed.

I think for a 3rd round pick he was a good gamble. Former #1. I like Housley to coach him up. Same reason I would rather lose Moulson or Ennis over Bogo.

expectations were crazy high, not just here just in general. Lots of people who think they'll right this ship in one off season.

Supposedly Ennis to Vegas according to Buffalo39.

I'm ok with Ennis, but I feel like he has more to offer than Moulson. I really would like him to be the one to go.

When Kane is dealt and perhaps Reinhart is too for a D this team is going to be devoid of top six talent. I don't care about the build, rebuild, whatever

I doubt they deal both players. I would rather re-sigh Kane and trade Reinhart. Especially if he projects to playing the wing on the team going forward.

Yeah. Folks seem to be in a big hurry to jettison scoring talent here. And this team wasn't exactly stacked with offense to begin with. I don't really see Bailey, Baptiste, Carrier or Fasching filling the void, either.

If you have the cap space

Offer him 10 mil for one year and see what happens

All for Kovalchuk.

Anytime you get a chance to get a player of his caliber you see what it takes

We'd have to trade for his rights from NJ though. The only other way is if all 31 gms agree to allow him back (which is unlikely)

I think Baptiste can be a top 6 winger, Carrier looked good as a bottom 6. Bailey was disappointing and the verdict is still out on Fasching

Fire your dealer, 10 mill, no way, 5 maybe not 10

I wouldn't go 10 either but on a one year deal a high number is much less scary.
