Not the same player he used to be.

Yeah, I’d pass
Just play Mitts at 2C if that’s what it comes to

There has to be a better option out there.

Is Ville Leino still playing?

How about Fred Stanfield?

Yeah if you want the dude to be our 2nd line center so be it

We may see Brassard for 1 year.

Who are we moving out? We're right up against the cap with our RFAs.

Also I hate brassard.

As much as that sucks, I dont think we get Eichel and Dahlin with hall on the team. In the long run I much rather have Eichel, Dahlin and risto than Hall and whatever the picks would have been.

Brassard is a bad idea. I don’t think he is the vet leader we’d want. Never bought into the 3c roll in Pittsburgh and pouted the entire time about it. Like he was going to supplant geno or sid. He did awful in Pittsburgh because he was a whiny female dog. He can stay on the unemployment line.

If he was a good vet leader I’d give him a shot, even though I think he’s done. But he isn’t.

I’m warming to the idea of Boyle as the 4c and you just rotate the responsibilities of the mitts, erod, Boyle line. Play them in the right spots and suck it up for a year.

I don’t really like having a 1st line and a 3a, 3b, 3c line. But unless we see a trade, I don’t see another option...

Odd question.... if you find a 2c and sign Boyle... could you swap erod and mitts from wing to center depending on in game situation? Or is it best to just have mitts as the center and move erod to the wing?

Mythical 2c
Mitts/ erod - situationally

I've got a feeling that if he came it would be on the cheap in the hopes of resurrecting his career. I think if this move happened it would be another sign that he is hoping to get rentals this year in order to preserve the 30ish million in cap space we will have next year.

Also pretty sweet on nhl ‘93. LaFontaine, Mogilny, Khmylev, with Hawerchuk and svoboda on D. Decent squad.
- Khmylev



Weird roster since Khmylev wasn’t even in NHL 93....

Agreed. It’s not like Hall would just be added to this roster. We probably would have Strome and svechnikov instead of eichel and dahlin 🤢

Michael Pachla: New Sabre Marcus Johansson looking for a fit, regardless of position
After a 10-minute teleconference we were still left to wonder where he'll play

Did I hear you on the Johansson conference call yesterday? Moving up in the world man.

yotes, kings, oilers and panthers inquired on risto

just saying

- homiedclown


Any idea of the talk of the return?

My guesses/hopes. I am not including all of them in one deal, just the players I would guess to be targets.

Yotes - Dvorak? Keller (pipe dream)
Kings - Toffoli +, I wish Iafallo or Kempe played RW.
Edmonton - RNH, Jurco, Puljujarvi +
Florida - Huberdeau (pipe dream), Trochek, Dadonov, Hoffman

It's the same idea of not matching the offer sheet for Vanek.

There's no guarantee that we would have had the same first round picks that they had

I'd hate a deal with the Kings. They have nothing to offer us and to be honest I'd feel bad if he sent to a team that's going to be bad for the next several years.

Riley Sheahan is an upgrade over larsson, sobotka, girgs or wilson

I assume LA is going to try to dump the likes of Carter, Brown, and Toffoli.

I don't want to help them in the least, but I don't really care where Risto goes if it helps the Sabres.
