For those of you complaining about Sean Monahan.

On the Sabres ..... he’s a 2C here. So he’s protected by Eichel. So more favorable matchups and won’t face teams top lines.

Of course he is, it's just the price it will take to get him.

Yes please. Where do I sign? Johnny hockey is the better player
- Sabretooth9

Yeah but its only 2 years and he might mail in year 2

Rhett Warrener and Steve Reinprecht for Chris Drury and Steve Begin.

Highway robbery.

Have faith - these deals can happen!

(trying to stay positive)

Why would anyone mail in a contract year? He's all effort, big heart, from what I've seen and heard. He's not mailing anything in.

Him for Reinhart straight up would help this team tremendously

I assume you're referring to St. Drury.

He doesn't want to get hurt lol he's going to the flyers

I think he meant he'll bounce at UFA and/or we can't afford him, but it's gerbe so WTF knows.

Flames would be morons to accept that.

Im not sure it matters if skinner can play with monahan or not. There are other wingers on this team and while I dont need it to happen, skinner can play with eichel.

I see no reason why monahan and olofsson couldnt play together

Two 30/30 guys on the second line

The only way I'm cool with Johnny hockey if its a 3 way with flyers

- TheSabresTaco

Its been known that he will sign with the flyers thats why flame fans are done with him

Who wants a guy thats not all in but talks about the flyers ?

No.

3-4C (replacement level) and a 7M left winger without an extension

For a middle pair D and a 7M right winger under control for several more years. Jankowskis can be found in UFA.

This is a waste of assets.

On top of all this, and I don't have access to any WAR charts, but I'm willing to bet this swap doesn't get you more than 1 extra win per season.
- TheSabresTaco

I mean I was just trying to generate discussion, I sense distress through your words

I personally wouldn’t do it either.

However, Reinhart holds all the cards right now. The Sabres do have two more years of RFA control but Sam could easily take the arbitration route this year and next taking him straight to UFA.

Crazy what happens when certain players are put into new environments and opportunities. Why every time you look at a guy, his performance on his old team must never be gospel to how he'll perform on a new team.
- TheSabresTaco

Focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of a player with regard to how they would fit with the players and overall team philosophy is crucial.

It's the biggest failing of Botterill, and his seeming land of misfit toys approach (hoarding all the RHD, for example).

For 41 games per season, the above is correct.

For the other 41, however...

Check out the Flames thread.

Someone legitimately proposed the Flames trading Monahan and Rittich to Buffalo for Okposo, Cozens, Hutton our #8 PLUS.

DRugs are bad.

If he takes the ARB route, or you are worried he will, trade him now, unless you are going to sign him to a minimum 5 year term on his next deal.

Change that to Mittelstadt, and they throw in their 2nd.

It's overboard for sure, but the cost to move on from Okposo would be high. I'd say if they subtract Cozens and Okposo, fair deal tbh.

Or that.

I know there's no chance in hell, but please, please please let this guy get the naming rights to the Bills Stadium.

You gotta pay the troll toll to get rid of kyle okposo

I agree.
