Why would the Preds trade Johansson though ?

I’m sure there are many packages I’d take for Reinhart right now including young players and a first but what does that accomplish for the Sabres right now ?

Im not saying they would. My point is.... if botts traded for a 2C and mitts and cozens turn the corner and look ready. He can always trade the 2C he traded for.

Yeah that’s fair. I just don’t think there are many teams looking to trade that kind of player.

A) they would have to be throwing in the towel this year

B) most likely would be committing to a rebuild

C) how many of those said teams would have a Center they would be looking to part with in that age range even if A and B apply

Who is really done as of right now ? Detroit, Ottawa, LA, Anaheim, New Jersey, Columbus ?

Travis Zajac would be an interesting stop gap along with Nick Foligno but neither are worth a first

I’m not a fan of Henrique at that cap and term, Getzlaf won’t waive to come here, Kopitar won’t waive to come here, Pageau is a rental, Detroit is going to build around Larkin and AA is a winger that id maybe flip all of Scandella for.

Toews’ contract is gross and I doubt they move Strome as they will look to him as the future.

I would kill to have the rivalry be as strong as it was in the early 90's
sure i could do without the beer throwing but its was incredible times

All the drunk-ass Quebecois fighting everyone that was willing in the upper blues, and then the 300's during the Canadiens games was great fun.

A reason I said Strome is because Chicago is another Team that has some decent Center prospects coming up too, we all now Dach, but they have Kurashev and Barratt coming up soon and with Strome being a RFA at the end of the season, might not be able to afford him

I think they try to sell high on P.Kane and Toews before moving Strome. They need to commit to the full tear down its inevitable.

Didn't really answer my question, but the point is wasting a 115 point season from Eichel is a crime, and the 1st should very much be in play to identify and acquire the 2nd line center to get us to the playoffs

Yeah that is possible too .... .so botts literally has no excuse for not getting a 2C.

Cozens we know can play wing and center already.

Only 5 qbs in the nfl with more touchdowns than josh allen.

Only 2 have more wins.

Wins are a team stat.

Brady has 11 wins and has been very average since Week 8

I’ve watched it several times. Probably the best movie of the 2000’s imo.

I hope you mean "best comic book movie of the 2000's". It's not in the top 100 best movies of the last decade.

(shrug) they were all fine movies. It still boggles my mind that people get their panties steamed one way or another for any of them.

I don’t think it’s necessarily the dark knight movie itself, I just love Heath’s performance as the Joker. I personally hate DC movies but really enjoyed that one.
