I'm curious how many openings there really are at forward.

Skinner, Cozens, Olofsson, Asplund, Mittelstadt, Thompson, Bjork, Girgensons, and Okposo all feel like locks.

I'm guessing Hinostroza is as well.

That leaves 2 openings at forward.

I'd be shocked if Ruotsalainen isn't on the team. Not that I have any special affinity for him, but I think he's 100% on the team

LA has about 10 or so prospects/young players that i like
If Byfield is a piece, idc which other of those 10 are included
Just give me 2 more decent pieces,
maybe a 3rd if we are taking a Cap dump like Quick

Think we would have to take more than just Quick. LA only has about 2.5m in cap space.

Allen
Carson
Michel
Gallup
Diggs
T. Higgins
Kittle

That's who I was thinking about Hank, don't now if they would do Kempe. Maybe Matt Roy.

You're right on Ruotsalainen. I keep forgetting him because CapFriendly has him on the minor league roster for now.

That leaves only one opening.

Bring me good defensemen.

I’m ok with that, as long as their compensating is with more picks/prospects
Or even holding some of Jack’s salary
*although idk if the Pegulas would be ok with that

Agreed, just humorous how the Sabres seem to still be collecting defensemen, post-Botterill, especially LHD.

Not that it’s my call,
but hopefully we learned our lesson with the ROR trade f#ck up and we do whatever it takes to get the best return possible

I think that if we were going to make the mistake again it would have already happened. Then again, who knows what would happen if Jack had a roster bonus coming or of we weren't struggling to get to the floor.

Yeah don't think Adams makes that mistake, he's held pretty strong so far. But still have to see what happens, this injury dilemma has put a big wrench into things right know.

I think you were right with 2. If Girgs is in camp, either he gets hurt or hurts someone. Either way, he'll help them get to the cap floor.

Eichel has a bonus of $7.5M due I believe on 7/1 next year, to complicate things further.
