NYI and pending UFA forward Josh Bailey are closing in on a multi-year contract extension. Still finalizing some details but likely to be an AAV of around $5M with a term of five or six years. #TradeCentre

I'm sure many will disagree, but I think he's top-9 right now. We haven't even seen him with a real top-9 center yet, either
- jcragcrumple

Bots and Housley don't think he's top 9 right now, so I contain any optimism on him.

He's a finisher. Put him with Eichel for a season and he'll get 20 goals. No promise on the assists, but he can keep up with Eichel.

I deal with the crazy ones bring them ice cream “are you trying to get me fat so you can leave me”

Smh..

Go out get light ice cream “ are you saying I’m fat!!!!”

If you weren't such a cuck you wouldn't let them walk all over you.

It’s all (frank)ing great but girls are such pains in the ass

I would rank it more like:

Defense
Top six players
.
.
.
Goaltending

I dont want to trade assets for any forwards that dont have at least top 6 potential. Preferably i want a top line potential player
- MCGUIZZY

Completely fair.

Side note, I can't wait to chant Ukko-Ukko-Ukko, I hope that kid pans out.

A lot of people seem to think this. I see nothing to suggest he's a top 6, let alone top line winger. If you play them together, they need a Selke candidate to balance that line out.

Everyone produces with Eichel. He makes everyone better. They still need to find ideal wingers for him. They aren't on the roster right now. To me, Okposo's been the best.

I'll get lambasted for it, but I think Baptiste is the one that could be a 2nd OR 3rd line guy. Haven't seen him with a halfway decent center, yet I've seen good hands and great speed.

Still haven't given up on Bailey either...I think he could be a very good 3rd line winger who could run the PK and create some points from the bottom6. He looks like a man amongst boys in the AHL every time I watch a game.

Completely fair.

Im fairly excited for him. Im kinda one of those people that could care less about goaltending as long as we have a high flying/high scoring team. Obviously i want a franchise goaltender at some point here but its kinda the last thing I care about right or wrong. I was stoked on the pick tho. I think Ullmark could be the truth

Watching him play with Mathews at the all star game really showed how talented he is, and how unbelievably bad most of our roster players are.

Girgs, Nolan, Antipin for Matthews anyone?

he really needs to hire someone experienced to oversee this sh!t and stay out of the product on the ice
- homiedclown

Elaborate please

Pegula is getting in Botts’ ear about player moves?
I don’t like that if it’s true

Also haven’t heard that before either

I'm just hoping one of the two turns into a solid third line player. I'm disappointed that they haven't taken advantage of the opportunity this year. Next year's camp is huge for them. Fasching too.

Murray knew Lehner better than anyone too...

He’s evil plan to destroy the franchise within was successful

Then you may wanna watch something other than sports, this is true of basically every sports owner ever.

No billionaire ever took over a team and didn't get involved at some point. It's the extent of which he's getting involved. If he's saying things like "i want you to go after more scoring" that's one thing. If he's saying "I want you to trade specifically for this player and give up a 1st round pick or your fired" thats another thing entirely.

not 100% but I think Zadina is a LW
- Sabresfan-365

Him and svechnikov are both left handed right wingers

I’m on board with Baptiste, I want to see him with Eichel. I always think of how well he played with McDavid in Erie, why wouldn’t that translate with Eichel? Worth a shot.

Baileys hands make Varadas look like Connolly’s. Bottom 6 for sure, WAYYYYYY better than Larsson

I think it's what the fans say they want. Their number 1 request is "free stuff" and number 2 is family atmosphere. Then they, and the media, complain about a boring atmosphere. Well, you didn't want little timmy to hear a cuss word, so you got the PG version of a hockey experience.

I've been with someone who got yelled at for swearing at a game before - not an F bomb - by a parent with a little kid. Meanwhile nic Deslaurier is trying to pound the face off somebody, which is totally fine
- jcragcrumple

Just have Family “sections”
Make tix cheaper for kids 16 & under in those sections
Have to be with a kid to sit there
Put any games for kids in the concourse right outside those sections

Something like that

I think there’s gotta be ways to do both

Was completely wrong about him. I'm a goalie, usually I can just...well...tell.

His style is so wild I couldn't imagine it translating, but he is the definition controlled chaos. He can be flapping around like a bird, somehow he stays square. It really is amazing to watch. Hopefully he beats out Lehner by this time next season.
