Just watch Troll 2 where J.K. Rowling stole the concept of Harry Pottery from and you'll be caught up to speed.

Nice. It's been so long since I've seen the movie, I've forgotten most of it, except the corn on the cob scene, that's burnt into my brain forever.

Jared Goff is not that good.

But I like Rosen

I would say if they pick 4th, it's unlikely they move either. If they pick 1st, it's likely one goes
- jcragcrumple

I'm not sure why that would matter tbh.

One of the core guys are going. It's gonna happen. Whether it's O'Reilly or Risto or Sam. One of them will go.

He's not keeping this core together. He basically said as much

The idea just seems silly to me. It makes me think of a movie where someone shoots a hostage to prove a point to the others. None of those 3 are at fault for the horrible depth

You don't like Goff ? He went from a complete bust to a franchise quarterback I would take him in a second

Complete bust because he needed a year to develop? (like they said he would out of the draft)

He's a decent QB. I don't think he's great.

He was one of the most inaccurate deep passers last year.

- jcragcrumple

Sure, but horrible depth isn't why we were last.

Nashville, before aquiring Hartman had no player in their bottom 6 above 35 points, and the entire 4th line had under 10 points. Also have a bad 3rd pairing.

There top half of the lineup wins games

But they didn't have Girgensons as their top LW, or Wilson at 2LW. Or our bad goaltending. And they have arguably the best D in the league

Well, I said 65-70, but anyways..

Van would be a great place for him. Provides.. err.. leadership now that the Sedin's are gone. They will be looking for a center to go along with Horvat. Wonder what the Sabres ask for here. Wonder if they give up their non-1st overall 2018 1st for him straight up. Not sure if we could get more than that. I'd want a roster player too, but not sure if that's too much to ask for in this trade scenario.

Good spot for the hippie guttar player. Vancouver.
Still like ror, but something needs to change.

Doubt anyone offers anything unprotected in the draft.

Maybe?

You could offer Tavares 15 mill a year and I bet he wouldn't sign here. Frying pan to the fire.

Glad someone sees that. Agree.

Not that it's worth much.

I agree. We were 31st. He has to change it up if for no other reason than to appease a very upset fan-base.

I think it's ROR. As you have pointed out, ROR is highly thought of through-out the league. With the salary cap continuing to grow, i think the allure of having ROR in their line-up will result in a number of teams stepping-up with some nice offers to Jbotts. Get a nice package package back and removing $7.5 million from the salary cap would be a nice win for Botts.

Regarding Risto, unless we get Chiralelli to cough up Leon or RNH and their 1st, i wouldn't move him. As many have pointed out, can you imagine how lousy we would be without our #1 d-man? We need to add to Risto, not subtract him from the team.

Regarding Reinhart, I think Botts signs him to a 2-year "show me" deal. He is still very young and Botts probably wants to see which Sam we have - 1st half Sam or 2nd half Sam. Plus Sam rides the tandem bike with Jack really well. That must count for something.

He benefited from Fisher getting fired and Hurley returning to form

Oh yeah I had to close it out so I could get stuff done

3 in a row I got either Rosen or Mayfield at 12 without having to move up

One I did I took Roquan Smith at 12 and traded down to 29 and took Allen as my QB and got like 3 extra picks out of the deal.

McCarron: "I think people get sold too much on big arms (for QBs)..... The game is played with timing and accuracy."

He's not entirely wrong but it also sounds like someone who wants to start...
