Hearing some chatter about Vancouver offering Virtanen and 2020 first rounder for Barrie. We’ll see what happens @ColHockeyNow

Normally have the chance to build a half assed model for drafts but I guess for now through a cursory look pick 7 should probably be one of:

Zegras, Cozens, Dach. Honorable mention Caufield, like the player just not at 7.

Slight edge maybe to Zegras but I haven't seen enough of all 3, this is just numbers work


Potential steals include Brink, Pelletier, Tracey and McMichael. I'd trade up from 31 by taking a bad contract for a year to grab Brink.

For those that were around yesterday..

Got my new TV up. Went with the Vizio P-Series 65" UHD 4K 2160 w/ 120 hz. The Vizio P-Series has the exact same processor as does the QLife Samsung series (which is considered the best TV on the market) that actually fluctuates the 120-240 hz.

Very first thing watched on it last night.... Blu-Ray Godzilla.


The detail in the blue flame going into the Muto's mouth i literally paused it and said HOLY SH1T...

Never been so blown away by an image like this TV puts out.

.... until you see 4k. Get an nVidia Shield and you won't look back.

I was actually just about to mention that one. Seems like that might be the same thing they had offered us for Risto and maybe we asked for more or different.

Virtanen... meh
2020 1st rounder, yes please but it also guarantees the Canucks win the cup

Guess I’m not wrong about everything and we can agree on something on here.

We might both be wrong?

That deal is what I could call "selling low". Futures and uncertainty.

I'm only ever on board with dealing Risto if it's for current and proven NHL talent.

A friend of mine knows risto's agent.

He asked for a trade.

This was prior to signing krueger and skinner.

Not getting caught up in semantics of “shopped” vs. “listening” — been there, done that, circa June, 2016 — but P.K. Subban’s name is out there floating around in the trade-sphere. NSH believed to be looking to clear cap space for either UFA shopping (Duchene?) or Josi extension.

By no means guaranteed to happen, but it’s one aspect of a lot of NHL draft trade talk going on. Lots of talk doesn’t always lead to draft-day deals. A few execs told me first-round picks may be flip-flopped tonight but big moves involving live bodies by no means a certainty.

A deal including a top 15 pick tonight would be very tempting.

I’m not really a Stastny fan,
would much rather have W.Karlsson

Are they shopping Miller?
I haven’t heard anything about him
But just about everyone on here & CapFriendly has us trying to acquire him

Zucker seems like a good fit
Can score, and has really nice speed
His lack of success in playoffs worries me a bit though

Someone will probably take Scandella for a low round pick
Idk who?

I also feel the return will be less than impressive.

I'm ready to be proven wrong.

I hope that whatever we do brings a player back of value and maybe it signals to other GM's (Nashville, Van, Minny) that we are open for business. It also might give some UFA's to take a second look at the Sabres.

If risto is traded, its gonna be for more then the 20th pick and a prospect that trouba brought.

Sorry jcrags

I was told risto asked for a trade. I think they appease him and move him prior to the start of the season?

Will Karlsson
Couturier
Martin Jones
James neal for okposo
Ehlers

Sam Bennett for a long shot

Vegas continues to talk to teams about moves that could find them cap space. RHD Colin Miller in several conversations. Also RFA forward Nikita Gusev a guy a few teams are tying on.



I think Karlsson would cost a bit to trade for but yes I would rather have him as well but Stastny would help for the next 2 seasons
