Moving a warm body for depth on offence is a completely different ball game from overspending on a trade
- Pegullaville

And he's done neither! Which is the entire (frank)ing point. JFC you're dense.

You're going to fill 7 spots with $15m and you expect drastically different results?

Pick who you like more between Montour/Risto and deal the other one for a 2C. Tage will be in consideration for 3RW or included in the trade package for the 2C.

It's crazy. They want to do exactly what we did 4/5 years ago. They haven't learned.

Boss, JB has done what Murray did: traded away a ton of assets, but it's like the frog in the proverbial pot: JB raised the temperature of the water slowly (traded away a lot of picks piecemeal) so the frog stayed in the pot.

I'll just throw your favorite "what aboutism" back in your face. The Blues. What if making the move propels the team?
- Wetbandit1

I think we are more comparable with the Avs/Leafs then a team that was a perennial playoff team that finished with 94 points and made their go for broke move.

$33m in cap space -

Reinhart - $7
Montour -$5
Olofsson-$4.5

There's half - conservatively

Replacements or re-sign:

Larry
Girgs
Erod
Scandella
Bogo
Vesey
Sheary
Sobotka

The rest of the $18m goes quick there - with Dahlin on the horizon the year after
- jcragcrumple

Larry and Girgs are the only ones on that list I would bring back. Be surprised if Olofsson got that. Enough to get a decent 2c or Rw, depending on which one you don't get in a trade

No the point made by several posters today was that we needed to get Skinner a center, which is much more easier said then done. Moving a depth d-man for another body up front is much more attainable then trading for a legit 2C in season.

I'm talking about the foundering team that called up the AHL goaltender.

Give an assist to bogo for his great play in ullmark crease.

He got walked so hard there

Good ole Bogosian

I’m not certain JB is going to make a move to improve the team this year. It might just be another year to sit tight.

But whatever the approach, I just hope Jack is in favor of it. If he ever decides he’s had enough of it here...well, I think we saw where this team is at without him.

I think the scouting of pitts left after that great play. Nothing to see there

Yes Botts has traded away picks and a few players rumor has he was told to do. He in no-way is close to trading away the assets Murray did.

Hell of a save there by Anderson

Guhle we sold high on, essentially moved pick 32 for Montour which is good value.

2nd round pick for a top 6 forward in Skinner is good value.

Pominville and Scandella is much better then Foligno and Ennis’ buyout on our cap for the next 5 years.

Realistically we'd be better off with Ennis and Foligno still on this team

Ennis at his minimum NHL salary yea, at his $4M dollar salary no.

Yeah, I’m 1,000,000% certain you’d be complaining daily that they were still here.

Definitely over Rodriguez

That's what Scandella makes. Has it made a difference having him instead of ennis? Both contracts would end at the same time

So would you rather have Skinner, at his current contract, or that 2nd round pick now?
