Henrique actually plays Center though
And he’s not a liability defensively,
he’s actually a good 2way player

And when Cozens is ready for 2C,
Henrique makes a lot more sense as a 3C in a 2way role than T.Johnson does
I suppose Johnson could just be moved back to the wing at some point...
so i wouldn’t say he’s a horrible idea

Henrique seems like a better fit though
And is definitely a better overall player

And Henrique can be acquired cheaper too One would think. Thing is though, are the pegulas wiling to take on that salary?

I'd prefer Bozak over Henrique

Give me Rakell if we're talking about a forward from the Ducks

I read a mock draft yesterday, I think it was Pronman's on The Athletic with writers from each city making their pick ...
1-Lafrenier., Team Placeholder
2-Byfield, Kings
3-Stutzle, Dens
4-Raymond, Red Wings
5-Perfetti, Sens
6-Drysdale, Ducks

That leaves
Rossi, Holtz, Lundell, Quinn, Sanderson, Askarov
With The Devils "on the clock"

You are Adam's (congrats?, I think) do you
- wait and take 1 from whose left?
- call the Devils and make an offer for their 7th which includes the 8th +; where the "+" would equal
A) Prospect like Portilo, Brysen, Pekar, Borgen, Laaksonen
Or
B) 4th Rounder

What say you?
- IonSabres

I like Holtz, but in this scenario I'm calling NJ and offering our 2021 4th , but willing to change to 2020-4th for the opportunity to select Marco Rossi.
If they balk and want more, then I sit and wait...maybe they like Sanderson or Askarov ...I mean, Yzerman took Seider in a surprise move last year, so stuff can happen.

Turcotte should be the best player in that deal. Brown can slot in where Sam was for a couple years. We have too many rhd. And good goalies aren’t the easiest to find and petersen is better than Hutton and maybe ullmark too. I could definitely argue that this would make the Sabres better.

Um no way Sabre’s do that deal! Cal Peterson left buffalo to join LA! He refused to sign a deal with Buffalo.

Isn't the context of acquiring a Center?

I would still call the Kings up to see if they are willing to deal, if they take Byfield they might still be willing to deal one of those Centers for a Dman

And the solution is to pay Adam Henrique 6mil until he's 35?

Center options:
Jeff Carter
Trevor Lewis (UFA)
Derek Ryan (him and Skinner played well together in CAR)
Tomas Hertl (for 8th overall?)
Tyler Bozak
Mikael Granlund (7 years 8 mil? )

Don't tell me, take it up with who posted they wanted him.

Well what ever they do, they need to flip the script and move a few players, bring in some different blood.

I agree we need to make a few moves and hope that they work out. But I believe if this team sees a major turn around next season it starts with the core pieces that are already here

Some of the core needs to be moved, they are some of the problem.

Our core pieces are Eichel, Dahlin, Reinhart imo. The turn around starts with them

4th rounder isn’t doing anything to move up from 7th to 8th. Chance of a 4th rounder playing >0 nhl games is around 25%. Chances are someone will reach for a player in picks 4-7 and a top 7 player will fall to 8. If not, Holtz is a great pick at 8 and a new as a RWer, or if you want to go high Risk/high reward draft Sanderson and you may have Dahlins long term partner in a couple of years

I would add Joker, oloffson and Cozens to the core list

Vilardi
Strome
Henrique
Haula
- Buff36

Why do you want Vilardi now ? He's very unproven and jack would probably be done if it ends like casey 2.0

Thank you.

What? Really? With everything Jim Kelly has in his past, among others?
- kingcong39

Good point

- turbo044

I think people are misunderstanding what core means ..

I would say its only jack , Dahlin
