The Ducks always have had a team cap with players, ROR with his contract falls in that. Nothing for sure they move ROR.

Rakell has scored 54 EV goals the last two years, 67 total. He makes less than $4M until '22. He's not going anywhere.

I didn't say anything about Rakell did I

Lots of throwing McCabe in trade scenarios lately.

I get the give to get theory but,

McCabe is tough
And under a reasonable contract
Solid nhl guy

Although he's been here for a lot of losing
Old regime
Young vet

TSN saying that Kessel is OK with being moved.

Wow
Something must have gone down behind the scenes there

dahlin plays a part

botts did trade for scandella

tha'ts the top 2 spots for ld

mccabe, guhle, the kid he just signed


I just use logic when mccabe is the odd man out, but I could be wrong

Another spot For ROR

I will take Rakell , perry ( salary reduced 5 million )

No freaking way on Corey Perry

Wow

Reading between the lines, it seems like he's a bit abrasive. His skill compensates for it for a few years, but it gets old to his teammates

That makes sense

Seams like a guy we need. Physical player.

Like you said though, old regime guy

Botts & Housley also have said a lot of good things about McCabe too though
I wouldn’t be quick to assume he’s the guy leaving

Could be
Just surprised at the situation
Would probably be best for both sides if they could work things out
But who knows?

Absolutely not

go look on TSN for the Kessel article and you will see it, look before saying Absolutely not.

Really, because they have already had conversations about trading for Kessel.

Dahlin, Scandella, Pilut are all LD's with bott's finger on the trigger to get them

it's a numbers game ad you still have guhle, mccabe and cough cough beaulieu


you can play one out of position but it's not a good blueprint to start 5 LD's on a regular basis

Really, because they have already had conversations about trading for Kessel.
- SABRES 89

Obviously a heck of a player
But if we are going to spend assets to acquire a guy,
I’d like him to be younger

Don't come at me about it. I'm just saying my impression of Kessel is that he rubs people the wrong way, including his teammates

That article just cites the original report from mark madden, who the pens fans don't hold in high regard.

Scandella should absolutely be the odd man out of the LHD.

"move ROR"

They like him

"Move risto"

they're not moving Risto

"move Scandella"

That's his guy, not moving him


Jesus christ sounds like Botts is off to Tahiti for the summer

They like McCabe
- SABRES 89

Good, I like him too.

Durability in starting to be questioned a bit.

Phil coached McCabe for the us?

sabres were dead last in scoring last season

Kessel was 7th in scoring, his best season ever

the leafs are eating part of his contract


I am confused why we don't need him


he performs well in playoffs and jack needs a toy
