I agree, I would hate the Johansson deal if it was like for 5 years. I would stomach it at 3 years, but at 2 years, its a great move.

Skinner is slightly overpaid, who cares though, we couldnt have let him go.

Ive become a Botts fan because of his last 3 moves (Miller trade, Johansson signing, and the unbelievable Jokiharju trade)

He is exactly what we needed. Rational, calculating, does not adhere to the pressure to spend poorly. ROR is over and done. Really, in the grand scheme of things, that deal
would have been fine had Berglund not sh*t the bed. Who would have guessed they would win the cup and we got at 31st? No one

Nelson
- TheSabresTaco

I think he’s actually a good trade chip. A team might want him as their bottom pair. I think bogo can fetch a late rd pick too.

Very happy with Botts offseason. He needed a good draft/offseason and I think he has done really well. Good young players in pipeline. Two whales in Eichel/dahlin on the team with some really nice secondary players. Maybe we will be good again!

I don't know what the Flames need.

Cam Talbot and Mark Jankowski for Carter Hutton

Stan Bowman has ALWAYS been infatuated with skill guys so he must really like the shot and offensive potential of Nylander in the Hawks top 6. Can he be a Right-Shot Left wing and be Panarin-lite with Kane? Then it would be a win win for both teams.
- EnzoD

He's spent almost all his time playing LW, but there's just no comparison to Panarin. He doesn't have that type of play making skill. He's a shooter.

The only thing that worries me, they might try him at center. At the moment with this roster, Casey is the 2nd line center.

And that really doesnt bother me if he has Johansson and Reinhart as his wingers.

I am excited for the upcoming season. They move Bogo and Scandella, I am counting down the days until the season starts.

Would you trade for an injured Bogo? At that salary? It just doesn't seem likely to me.

- jcragcrumple

as much as i feel carter is not the answer in net that is a huge drop to go with talbot and ullmark..

give them nelson, bogo, hunwick and a 2nd

- Lunaion

yes.. every GM wants a Bogo.. even if he is injured.

Yeah, I thought there might be an avenue before they signed Myers. My thought was Risto, Nylander and a 2nd
- jcragcrumple

Yes. The canucks would make that deal in a second. Who wouldn’t want the overpaid Finn, a likely 1st round bust and a second rounder for one of the best young scorers in the NHL.
The Sabres are not in cap hell yet but if/when their young players pan out, they’ll be up against it too.

Not our problem anymore

Also, they just paid Tyler Myers $6m, so let's pump the brakes on them making good decisions

I’m pretty sure Pegulaville kept saying the Blues were gonna win it all, due primarily to ROR.

I bet they bought Myers cause Risto was too expensive.

Chicago

Did Marner take that "hometown discount" 8M contract yet?

Wants to go to Chi, waiting for them to move celery. At least that's the word on first and first with that gnarly hoorah
- SDSabre

Sure hope they move salary and not celery.

Dubas is the smartest man on Earth, he'll bamboozle Marner to take a 1Mx8 year deal

it's a longstanding joke here. Why move salary when you can move celery??

Not in December. I said the blues were going to win it all in March/April. I sure as hell did not think they would mmake the playoffs in Nov/dec

Celery is easier to move.

It's mostly water.

I'll laugh through next summer too. Sounds good to me.

Give it to me straight Doc, is Joker good at hockey?

You bet he is Mr RhinoFan. You got a solid player.

What if I told you you could clear space by moving just celery. Would you do it? What will you dip in ranch? What will be the sides with Wings? What will happen to all the peanut butter dips? What about all the soups. Think of the farmers. There are a lot of ramifications to moving it. So think long and hard which you prefer to move.

we traded a wild card for a joker
