I don't see how TB can sign JT long term.

Their entire defense is UFAs next year besides Hedman and Sergachev. Koekkoek is a RFA right now.

Kucherov and Point are both RFAs after this year. Will both demand at least 7-8M AAV.

They can squeeze him in, but they will need to move several older players, like Callahan who are near the end of their career.
No doubt it would be tough though.

I would have thought there was a difference between "He'll come to camp" and "We'll loan him again"

Welp, so be it.

Idk?
I just think it was VERY OBVIOUS that Moulson was never gonna play in the NHL for us again
So to me, that meant #26 would be available for Dahlin

Me and you both know about working out if you look at his images last year he beefed up for the upcoming season with his brother and then he got injured basically destroying everything he did in the summer because he just had to sit there and recover and now he was playing the catchup game to get back to his game

I guarantee you he's going to make the team out of training camp and he's going to shut everyone up

let's get Nylander on that Risto workout plan he's on this summer. Haha.

I have a weird feeling about Cliff Pu too. If you guys remember he was literally the LAST guy sent out of Buffalo last year. His speed on the wing of these kids could be really dangerous... 64 goals in his last two OHL seasons. Little ferret spider monkey out there.

I guess we won’t get to see that line of
Moulson-Tavares-Okposo
that a certain someone was pumping up
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

But they're all friends so I mean it was def gonna happen

What number is Vanek going to wear then
- gerbe75pts

#26
Just NOT with us!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

had no idea beefing up made you good.

Palat's contract seems inflated for a high teen goal scorer. Even Tyler Johnson has had about 2-3 straight down years since he got that big deal. I bet there would be takers for them too.

I really don't care about him but some think you can slide him on the 1st and 2nd line that right there tells me everything..

Fine sign him just don't play him on the 2nd or 1st
- gerbe75pts

Wow
Something sensible.

I'm you b to church, the end is obviously near

It doesn't make you good but one of his big knocks was that his body couldn't hold up against the adults in NA so him beefing up could help his game get to the right level.

Tis but the point.

Maybe we are one of the phone calls?
Botts will just put his best friend Moulson on the line, and then Tavares will agree to come here

He’s probably having Pommer call Vanek too

No it means he got stronger so he would be ready for the next level built up his legs for more speed but I guess you overlook those things

I get it, but you know what I mean.
- TheSabresTaco

I do understand where ppl were coming from...
i just knew Moulson was done with us
So i saw the number as a non issue

Sure. Doesn't fix his perimeter play style. I mean, it should, but it hasn't. Yet.

He's coming back fully healthy, just like Okposo. So let's see what they both do with it.

You heard it from Sexton. This is the most important offseason of Nylander's life. Don't read into that too much, but do so a little.

Same division
We have to go through Tampa to get to the ECF

We do NOT want them to get Tavares
They’re already gonna be tough enough to beat
- jdfitz77

Sorry, but I'm all for it.
To be the best,, you have to beat the best.
We shouldn't fear the competition, we should look forward to hearing it...so muchmo re rewarding.

That said, (frank)

Bruins
Sends
Habs

That's what I assume. Botts is all like Matty you can start on the Sabres if you get JT here for under 4M a year

If him & Olofsson become legit top6 wingers, we are gonna be in pretty good shape

I’ll go out on a limb here, he would have to score in every game he plays in to make this team out of mini camp... .0000000000000000001% chance that happens.

I love how nylander gets a pass from you for doing NOTHING for two years, but we NEED TO TRADE ROR, Sam,and Risto (you know guys that actually play in the nhl).

No it means he got stronger so he would be ready for the next level built up his legs for more speed but I guess you overlook those things
- gerbe75pts

haha. No. I did not.

Friedman: Sounds like LA won’t qualify Tobias Rieder

If Moulson gets Tavares here,
then he should get to keep #26 !!!

And be named Asst GM

Well that doesn’t mean i want the best to get a stud player that’ll make them harder to beat!
That just doesn’t make sense sir

Bring me Tobias Rieder for the 4th line

If him & Olofsson become legit top6 wingers, we are gonna be in pretty good shape
- jdfitz77

Not too high on Olofsson being a top 6 full timer but I'd be extremely happy if he managed it.
