Yeah, I mean Sam can’t score with him right now. Not sure I’d pencil in Nylander for 20
- sbroads24



how useless did girgs look before he got on eichel's line? Nylander can at least create his own chances.

His biggest problem is away from the puck

Steven Hawking would get 20 goals playing with Eichel. Nylander needs to learn how to play better with less time and space.
- Dukey3030


In general yeah, but part of what makes things easy for wingers to play with eichel is that he can create that for him.

SO even in a scenario where Nylander doesnt take that next step he still probably puts up a decent amount of goals/points

We just haven’t seen enough of Nylander yet.

I hope he can. Just not there yet

was a proposition on twitter that had the bills giving the giants both their first-rounders this season and another first rounder next season to move up to #2...

imo, the bills have too many holes to fill and need too much depth to be doing something like that this year

- Michael Pachla


If Rosen is there, I’d consider it

With all the potential QB movement this offseason,
and all the talent coming out in the draft,
It’ll be very interesting to see what the Bills do

There’s no one still defending Tyrod,
is there?

And yet teams have been winning without both simmonds and Kane. We'll be looking for a goal scoring winger but the list of capable replacements is not 2 names long
- Sabresfan-365


No, it's not, but we have one now. To get one would cost assets.

We don't really have one. We have a guy with one foot out the door

If it's true he likes it here throw him a fair offer. If he signs, he signs, if he doesn't trade him. But 99% chance we get killed by trading him.

I don't know how we get killed by trading him unless you're talking about just the return itself. hes a scoring winger. On a list of must haves in building a core thats probably the least important and easiest to obtain piece, especially when you have a centre that can make latvian bambi look useful out there.

Yeah, the return, we're not going to get anything near what he's worth.

I don’t think it’s hopeless at all. Just his AHL numbers are troubling. He still has plenty of time to turn it around

You realize we’ve again played our best stretch of hockey as a team while he’s scored the least amount he has all season?

He’s had some gimme assists and 3 goals over the last 17 games.

He really isn’t Ovechkin

Probably, but thats better than overpaying him which if the rumours dropped here are true is where his ask seems to be.

His injury early in the year didnt help.

So when Seattle comes into the league, I bet the GMs have a lot more to say about to say about their expansion draft then they did with Vegas'. 2nd in the league, that's crazy.

There is no way he gets $7.5M. That would make him the 8th highest paid winger. Not going to happen. Chiarelli who probably would sign him to that isn't able to. Sweeney might have the room though. They have almost $17M in cap space next year if the cap stays the same and only Spooner to sign who's not going to get a huge raise. So he very well could throw stupid money at him.

Why? Vegas took a couple skill guys, 37 3rd pair defensemen and a poop load of grinders. They're where they are because of coaching, spite for being thrown away, and half the team is playing for their careers. That'll get anyone up.

I had to. Wow. Aside from the Pantera reference. If we got that exact trade I would run naked onto the ice for the home opener.

Oh, I'm not discrediting them, far from that, what they're doing is awesome. I just think the owners of the league will have tighter restrictions on what Seattle can draft because of Vegas.

But that's my point. Why would they? Vegas didn't draft anything special aside from a couple players from teams who screwed themselves.

Compared to past expansion teams, they drafted a dream team.
