Forward Myles Powell recalled by Amerks. Are there a bunch of Rochester forwards that are injured? Interesting...
- Lilroot9

He was recalled because Criscuolo is injured. He's had 39 points in 37 games in Cincinnati.

There's urgency. All we've heard was that there's mutual interest to get a contract done.. but if that's not the case, they have to ask him to waive. It's a Tavares-esq situation. Islanders got nothing for him. I don't want to be the Islanders. I also don't want to trade him.
- TheSabresTaco

We won’t. He’s going to re-sign. I’d bet $$.

There’s no way this franchise lets him walk

So, no Glotov?

I fully agree.

Theoretically, there's an urgency to figure out his intentions. I'm sure Botts knows where Skinner's head is at, though.

I do wonder what the ask would be on a player like Parayko. Would Ghule, Nylander and a pick do it? He seems like a perfect target when you take his age and contract into consideration.

Edit; we would need to move some salary out to make it work so it may make sense to do a deal like this after the season ends

I don't do Twitter, FB, etc., but I'm not sucking up when I say your stuff is infinitely more reed-able and narratively consistent than the hot take machine that is Harrington.

much appreciated

ryan dzingel would be a bad ass pick up.
- TheSabresTaco

if only botts can find someone to take Sobotka off our his hands
- Michael Pachla

He’s not actually that bad
Just doesn’t belong in the top9
Sobotka is another Girgs/Larsson
Not that we need 3 of them...
but if we could keep the 3 of them on “line4”
AND
find another line capable of some defensive zone time so that line4 is actually getting line4 minutes...
then we wouldn’t need to move him

Alrighty, so Risto for Huberdeau is floating around twitter (as a suggestion, not really a rumor)

That’s a great deal.

JH is borderline elite

He's no Hall, but I agree, that would be a steal for us. He's legit.

The best 4th line we've had this year was:

Girgs-Erod-Pominville imo. It had a bit of everything. If we replace Pommer with Smith for next year, that 4th line is fine with me. But we need a 3C to replace Sobotka. Or a "2b" to split time with Mittelstadt

Alrighty, so Risto for Huberdeau is floating around twitter (as a suggestion, not really a rumor)

That’s a great deal.

- sbroads24

Another “playmaker” though
Not saying i wouldn’t want him, but...
-need guys that can finish
-that would leave us with the worst right side defensemen in the entire league

I get that u aren’t a Risto fan
But he can’t be moved without a replacement plan

As good as Huberdeau is,
he’s not Hall
And might not be the best fit for us

Like IBN twitter...or basement dweller?

We'd need to do some work to find a suitable replacement for Risto. But that trade would also be elite. In fantasy land.

SabresInsider, I hope. He's my fave

The problem with that 4th line is that it leaves Sobotka & Okposo on Line3

Before the StL trade,
I wanted to see a Line4 of
Bailey-E Rod-Baptiste
*i knew they’d never get the chance though

other than faceoffs, at which he's slightly above 50%, I'm not sure he's brought anything to the table this season

Okposo and a 1st for Kovy and a 2nd

Short term pain, long term gain

- Michael Pachla

Right, bc he was mostly in the 3C role

Same way Girgs/Larsson brought very little to the table in previous years when they were being played in the top9

I personally don't think we should trade for anyone unless their name is Taylor Hall. Everyone else in this league blows olive salad.

So fill one hole and open up a huge one on defense. Il pass unless I have an immediate replacement/ upgrade over Risto

I do wonder what the ask would be on a player like Parayko. Would Ghule, Nylander and a pick do it? He seems like a perfect target when you take his age and contract into consideration.

- MCGUIZZY

I know Parayko was a popular name out there, but STL isn't a seller anymore. If he moves in the off-season, it's going to cost a roster player ++
