Dude comes out of the gates on fire...gets 2 concussions and almost dies...now he's probably going to be struggling to stay in the league.

You're missing the forest for the trees here. Hamilton is what you're getting. Bennett just gives you a player to plug into the forward ranks, and you hope he can regroup from 2 poor seasons

That’s great you still haven’t fixed the problem at wing

Don’t say Pominville or Gus They shouldn’t be in this conversation if the goal is to be better those 2 won’t be in the top 2 so there’s that

If they get Hamilton for ROR, ok, sure, but they absolutely can not get worse at defense if they get rid of Risto.

Give the coyotes a pick to take Bogo and sign JVR

Skinner – Eichel- Reinhart
Nylander-Mitts-Oloffson
Vanek-Erod-Okposo
Bap-Malone-Pommer
Girgs

Dahlin-Hamilton
Scanny-Risto
Nelson-Bogo
Bowl-U

Hamilton for Ror and pick #32, Calgary has no picks in the first 3 rounds, they’d love pick #32.
Skinner for McCabe, Bailey, and Minnesota’s 4th. Skinner’s a UFA next season, how much is he realistically worth?
Sign Vanek, 1 year deal.

Your forgetting we just moved ROR


And Baptiste ? What the hell did he do to get a top line spot

I rather do Jake and keep nylander

I think he would be 2C in this scenario, unless you're thinking Erod is 2C, which... seems like a bad idea

I’m not paying JVR 8m

Do we really want to open that can of worms?

I think you just want picks 2, 3 or 4

I'm actually surprised we don't have a "Dahlin is going to be a bust" poster on here yet
- sbroads24

First game he's -3 he'll, let's be serious, THEY'LL be here.

I think you just want picks 2, 3 or 4

I want a winger for jack before we waste away his years

But some want to put him with scraps

I would love JVR but he’s going to want 8m

I think he would be 2C in this scenario, unless you're think Erod is 2C, which... seems like a bad idea
- jcragcrumple

why would it be a bad thought?


kid was one of our best points per minute played 5 on 5

has wheels

plays fine in our own end

think outside the box

Aren't you a little worried that he's a probelm this would be his 3rd team

And let's not forget all of us including other fans said Boston was crazy to trade him now Calgary wants him gone
- gerbe75pts

Sweeney might be even dumber than Chiarelli. And if Calgary wanted him gone they'd do a deal like they got for him, trading him for ROR is not that.

Then you're retaining girgs and Larsson to fill out the center depth.

If they traded ROR, I'd rather they go three deep at center with Eichel, Mitts and ERod. If they keep ROR, I'd like to go four deep with the same group

I like the Hamilton idea. I'm not sure what to make of the media reports. Boston started bashing him the second he left the organization. Is that spin, or is it reality? No idea.

ROR for Hamilton seems like the starting point for a good trade though

Dahlin-Hamilton
Scandella-Risto
McCabe-Nelson
Bogo

Guhle in the minors

Ask Seguin.

You want Rodrigues as our 2nd line center ?

Pierre Lebrun said that the price for Skinner is a first round pick and a prospect. He also said he feels ROR is the most likely player to be moved by the Sabres.

Ryan O'Reilly and a 4th to Nashville for a 1st.

I don't want Skinner....for some reason I just get that "we are really gonna regret this trade" feeling.

32 is a late first

- jcragcrumple

no clue what he is going to do

pretty sure he can grab a free agent for a center


again e-rod had an outstanding point per minute playing 5 on 5 compared to other guys

and wheels

and decent in his own end
