Would prefer Bonino

Not bad, and Granlund has played Center. He played it in Minnesota

He’s getting the top line minutes, power play time, and shooting at a career high percentage.

Still would be a good 3C though moving forward as long as he isn’t paid as a 2C
- Pegullaville

And that’s the rub. You need him as a 2c for 1.5-2.5 seasons. Until Cozens or someone else is ready. So how do you structure that. Hey! We want you as a .2c for just a wee bit then you’ll be the 3c but here’s 3c money...

Yeah, I don't remember any trade and signs happening this late in the season. I would be sure to include a pick that is conditional on resigning him at the end of the season. Also, I would ask for an additional pick if he resigned in Ottawa.
When they traded Karlsson to SJ they had a conditional 1st in the deal if he was traded back to an Eastern conference team, so it wouldn't necessarily be out of line asking for this type of stipulation.
Pageau is from Ottawa and has only ever played in the Province. I could see regardless of where he gets traded he goes back to Ottawa next season.

Solid post, I like the conditions attached.

All that said, personally, I would still hesitate on a trade for him.
Just too many red flags in terms of buying him at his high, with no track record that suggests it is sustainable. Sabres don't need another version of Okposo.

Centers can always play wing. If you find a center with top-6 ability they can always move into a top-6 wing role. We're also going to see a salary cap expansion with the tv deal and Seattle coming in

- Buff36

He did start as a center in Minnesota, but his best two seasons were his last two there when he was moved to the wing. Very similar to how Mojo's career has progressed and to a lesser extent Reinhart's.

Are you comfortable paying him 2C money when he has had 1/2 season of barely 2C production...at age 27?

- IonSabres

I’m guessing he wouldn’t sign a shorter deal for said 2c money.

So you're banking on Botterill being a drunk GM like the Blackhawks GM was in overpaying in a trade for a question mark?

no

I think I was pretty clear that if you wanted a super talented Puljujarvi you need to pony up with mccabe and a second or borgen, smith and a second


your not getting him for 25 cents on the dollar


of all the players listed, he has by far the most upside

no

it's crazy

people think you can get Puljujarvi for E rod and Bogo


or signing Galchenyuk and zapple dapple he is going to be a complete 2 year player for 2.5 mil a year

- Gr8daygo

he can play center, finn is for next season

smith is for next week

Thought he Centered Parise and Pomm's for a couple years

Mark Stone last year...?

Gally?

I dont know unless he gets his foot in the door first to see how he performs. I don't think he'll get Kevin Hayes money though

I like your Bonino idea a lot.

Easy decision if he's not available at a discount: pass.

He basically signed before the trade, just didn't put pen to paper for a couple weeks.

There ara a number of other trade targets I'm using worthwhile assets for over JP.

name 10



you need home runs

not sheary, vesey, frolik, miller, montour and johansson type guy


you need to find a way to add 2 or 3 impact players

JP is a home run?

The team needs to add 2 to 3 home runs? It's difficult enough to add one. Is Jokiharju considered a home run?
