5 years with eichel could solidify a place for him in the hall of fame

He gonna need to take a pay cut.


No way he’s getting 8.5 here long term

Hopefully Adams / Kim find us a new goalie

I think that is the next move that needs to get done.

they wouldn't be smart enough to discuss a 1 year deal and then a longer deal after expansion draft, would they?

Interesting thought - could explain the reason for the NMC on a one year deal

I know Arizona has a mandate to trim around $15m in salary. Would this make sense for both teams?

Mittlestadt, Miller and Hutton (about 7.5m in salary)

for

Kuemper and Kessel ($11.25) or Kuemper and Schmaltz (around $10m)??

Gives us the stud goalie and another middle 6 forward) and tims cap for arizona. Throw in other small pieces/picks as needed

- turbo044


We’d have to give up more i think

Getting Kuemper would make us a legit team though
We need a goalie upgrade for sure

Hall Eichel Reinhart
Skinner Staal Cozens
Olofsson Eakin Thompson
Girgensons Lazar Okposo

- Stripes77


I am back reading, and I keep seeing everyone has Hall with Eichel. They are too similar of players, and both like to carry the puck. Move Skinner back with Eichel and Reinhart

Skinner Eichel Reinhart
Hall Staal Cozens (sounds like this is where he is going)
Olofsson TBD (give me haula) Thompson
Girgensons Eakin Lazar

It's called controlled demolition. Not everything has to be a "Historic landmark". They should do the same thing to the Statler towers.

Although I love the way the Lakawanna waterfront looks on the way to Tift Nature Preserve. Post-Industrial beauty at it's finest.

But that Skyway has got to go. Especially with the Harborcenter and canalside stuff going on. Walking from Pearl St. Brewery to the Arena is oppressive.

Isn't it a bit of an eyesore that they're trying to take down? I loved the idea of a Jack Nicklaus golf course right around there (near Tifft street I think??) but I don't think they got enough private funding for that

Some ppl don’t like it, but i think it’s fine

Hall should be played away from Eichel 5v5.

They both want the puck through the neutral zone.

Skinner/Eichel/Rhino
Hall/Staal/


That’s the start of your top 5 of 6.

They are starting to have the opportunity if and it’s a big if Mitts and Cozens are ready for a top 9 like haven’t seen in 14 years.

Boss likes truculence.

Nope but the issue will always be the rail road giving a variance.

They won’t much like the NFTA controls the waterfront.

It needs to go, it's awful. Buffalo's not a particularly attractive city as it is, aside from city hall, and the Skyway just makes it worse.
