The hayes contract means Duchene will get between 9 to 10 million .......



I think that takes the sabres out. We cant pay him that much.

I sure as sh!t hope we don’t
It would be a HUGE mistake

Still a chance Chicago takes him at 3. Or maybe a run of centres takes place and he falls to 5 or 6. Friday will be very interesting and intriguing.

I’d scoop him up in a heartbeat if Byram somehow fell to us

I just have a feeling that Risto+ for Boeser is could be the big move.

Seems like the Canucks do stupid poop and they rumored to be having difficulty getting a deal done (can’t remember if someone mentioned that here or on Twitter) with Boeser.

Hayes has topped 15 goals twice in his career and never topped 50 points.

Cmon man. Too many head shots Ross the Boss?

- JVince11


Skinner is a one dimensional goal scorer whose eclipsed 60 points twice and doesn’t play Centre. When his shooting percentage comes back down to Earth then what ?

I find it funny how we don’t need to spend big money on Dahlin’s defense partner yet we need to spend $9M on a winger who will be gifted 10-15 goals just from standing in the slot playing with Jack.

I don’t think he would but having Dahlin and Byram as our top two LHD would be something.

No we need elite hockey players and depth. Skinner falls somewhere between elite and depth. Although he’s making “elite” money now. Let’s hope he scores 35+ annually to even consider being worth his price tag.

If they’ll accept a “Trouba like” return...
31 + ______

Then get a break on W.Karlsson by taking Clarkson
He’ll be put on LTIR, so who cares?
*i actually suggested this weeks ago btw

Then make a similar trade with Tampa where we take Callahan to get say Miller(or another Tampa winger: T.Johnson, Gourde, etc)

Sign someone like Tanev

Skinner-Eichel-Sheary(he can score here imo)
JtMiller-W.Karlsson-Tanev
Ehlers-Mittelstadt-Reinhart
***thats a legit freaking Top9***
4th line would be something like
Cally-E Rod-Okposo
*hopefully dump Sobatka

Now what do we do with the defense???

Team isn't going anywhere with Sheary on top line.

Theres got to be a better choice.

Each trade by itself seems realistic to me

All of them happening is probably a reach

2 outa 3 would still be pretty great

That would be insane if it happened.

His goal scoring as a 22 year old is crazy good.

Well he isn’t going anywhere

And to say he’s not “elite” when he’s one of the top 5v5 goal scorers is ridiculous
Only 1 of those seasons was with Jack

Pittsburgh won TWO Cups with him in their Top6

Also:
I’d keep him there only till the deadline to boost his numbers & trade value
Then replace him with Olofsson

Sheary's not a RW, but with everything else in there, it's certainly not the thing to focus on.

Even the most conservative projection had him way above 4m.
- Lunaion



Doesn’t mean someone should pay him 1.15 more than the projections

He's played a token amount of RW in his career, and none here when we were in desperate need for someone to play RW. He's not a viable option to switch full time.

Start with the first line, Ehlers for a Trouba-like return.....no chance.

Jesus Christ and you wonder why this team never succeeds. you don't want to pay anyone but you want Sheary on the 1st line and Ehlers on the 3rd making 6 mill a year. for get Wild Bill, that's a pipe dream.

Do I get Credit for saying that he will get overpaid and he’s nothing but a Stafford that should be making 4 million

Don't sign anyone because most here think we don't need to overpay or rush anything meanwhile let's just keep letting Eichel waste away like we have for 4 years now.
