I’m ready to be disappointed tomorrow.

Hall for a 3rd and spare parts.

Ullmark for nothing and walks to UFA.

Risto and Miller won’t be moved.

That’s what I’ve got.

That sounds about right.

This guy definitely has sources. Isn’t right 100% of the time but shoots at the minimum 70% from the floor I’d say. Called the Lake Tahoe games before they were announced, called new TV deal a year and a half ago, and several trades/signings.

“ I’ll leave it at this... believe me or not, I can promise you all I’ve never seen/heard so many teams circle in and out of a potential deal before like I have this week with Taylor Hall.”

In other posts he mentions Bruins and Oilers as teams he’s heard the most noise from for Hall and says he does not believe anyone has offered a first rounder for Hall yet (which probably explains why he hasn’t been moved)

Darcy had a knack of making great trades. Since then, not so much.

When he made trades, he did pretty well

He also turned down Seguin for Vanek

I was talking trade deadline trades. He may not have had permission to trade Vanek. Look what the Sabres had to do to sign Vanek. After they lost Briere and Drury they had no choice but to sign him.

Darcy overvalued his players, which is why he would strike gold.every once and awhile when selling

He was the personification of the Craigslist meme:

He did a better job with trading players but not so much with drafting.

He only did good at selling. He swang and miss every time when buying, and overvalued his players and missed out on no brainers.

He could have claimed briere for free.

He overvalued his players. Team would have never suffered if he had balls.

Pandemic or not, when you take a key player straight to UFA, you're making a mistake.

I wouldn't slam the door though. He could hit UFA and Buffalo could be his best option/offer.

This is an excellent post.
I think ullmark's injury concerns are going to devalue his ufa wishes.
I'm not %100 sold on ullmark longterm. 🤔
