I mean Parayko is good n all.....but don't we need a LW more than another D right now?
- feetontheair22

I rather keep the center then trade for another D who isn’t elite.

I'm sure Jack is going to be thrilled that dahlin is going to get his D partner before he gets a Winger

GMTM always gets his man

Let's say the trade goes through

Wilson-Sobotka-Baptiste

Dahlin-Risto
Scandella-Parayko
McCabe-Bogosian

sign Hutton

Hutton
Ullmark

you still have FA/ the rest of the off season to find a few more wingers, you can still move Larsson, Girgensons, McCabe, Scandella

We just used the draft to fix the D long-term. No need to keep working on it

There’s no way In bananas he gets 5 million a season probably 2.5
- gerbe75pts

Maybe he'll get one year where it's 4.5 -5, then to 4, then to 3.5 for the last year or something.

Serious question how many guys makes up a core group? Botts listed 5 yesterday as the core moving forward.

How many does Pittsburgh have, Chicago, Washington?

Pittsburgh- Crosby, Malkin, Letang
Chicago- Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook (also Hossa)
Washignton- Ovechkin, Backstrom, Carlson

I agree with everything. Would probably have Erod as a LW and Sobotka as third line C. But that’s without knowing what we plan to do in Free Agency.

Right. I've actually been around since 2005, but in 2012 I was suddenlly locked out of my account and had to open a new one. It was a probablem that effective other people's accounts as well.

But, you're right, it is a vicioius circle. With this Blues trade rumor, Ror for Parayko, we still don't address the one position of need, LW. It makes no sense.
- sskkoo1

It wouldn't shock me at all to see them trying to replicate Nashville with Housley and the D. And don't get things twisted, RD is still a problem for this team (with Dahlen on the LD). LW is the most glaring hole, but I'm done with Risto playing 27 a night. Drop him to 22 with Parayko getting 24 and Nelson/Bogo eating up the rest. Risto and the team will see much improvement IMO.

Sheary bud. He's better then anyone Jack has played with on the left side (outside of Kane, who I know you hated as a duo)

Scandella, McCabe and definitely Bogo are way to high in your lineup. Nelson, Pilut, Hickey, Samuelsson, Guhle, Borgen, Fitzgerald.

No D position is locked in.


For wingers:

You have Baptiste to low, and how about, Bailey, Smith, Nylander, Olive guy?

Sheary Eichel Skunk
Baptiste Mitts Okposo
Bailey E rod Nylander
Wilson Sobotka Pominville

D is up for grabs

It's June 28

FA hasn't started, the new league year hasn't even begun. ROR hasn't been traded yet, and the return is still unknown.

how about we don't freak out just yet.

I want a trade with Minny. Zucker, dumba, nino. Plus they seem to always want to trade with us.

We would need to take Ennis back but throw him in Rochester.

Sheary bud. He's better then anyone Jack has played with on the left side (outside of Kane, who I know you hated as a duo)

Kane was fast and strong, so it looked like he could play with Eichel. Eichel is all finesse though, watching him play with Mathews in the All-star game proved it.

They may have liked to party together but they had horrible chemistry on the ice.

No if sheary was the big trade to get jack his winger that’s a joke I like sheary but we need a sniper

Welcome to HockeyBuzz.... I'll be your guide.... let me introduce you to some of our key players here...

The sniper is here. His name is Victor Olofsson.

About to turn 23 and light it up

If he can just tap in the back door feeds that Jack ECHL gives at least 2/3 times a game, I don't think Jack would complain. Crosby has never needed elite sniping wingers, he just needed the right ones.

I pry to god we don’t sign any UFA free agents wingers top

And it seems all the leaks “rumors “ have Colton Parayko in it so I’m just assuming that he’s going to be in it

He’s like a way better gerbe but you have to get jack some more we can’t waste his good years I’m not saying he’s a bad player but he’s not a sniper

Carter Hutton visited Buffalo yesterday. Craig custance reported it in an athletic article this morning.

Top ten pick.


Don’t see nylander making this team out of camp., and i’d Bet one of bailey/baptiste are part of a trade ( bailey would be my guess ) I personally think bots wants more experience at lw#2.
We have taken our strength ( center) and made it ho hum by trading ROR in this
Scenario. Not a fan.
