Sounds reasonable. Maybe throw in a couple extra sandwiches for Sardarian. 154 lbs?

Unfortunately with his concussions last year, kinda hurts you guys in trade talks a bit. Yeah he looks Healthy, but teams are gonna bring that to the table.

Anything that isn't nailed down is on the block in Chicago. It all depends on the return the Davidson is offered. He seems to be much more patient (and thus far competent) than Bowman in his early moves.

Any interest in Murphy to pair with Power? All indications are that he is recovered from his injury.

I've liked Murphy for a while here. While you're here, could you toss us a proposal for cat and murphy? Would love to see some Hawks perspective.

Philly's 2nd 2023 Stiven Sardarian

Weissbach and Buff 2. Pretty generous considering that we gifted them Hagel.

(frank) you Jason.

I want to make sure he plays at the same level, that's why I offered next year's 2nd. Those concussions are a little worrisome with the style he plays.

To add to this.

1. DIF was relegated to the Allsvenskan, the SWE-2 league.
2. Based on the new SHL-NHL transfer agreement, this means that had Cederqvist been under contract with DIF, he'd be free to join Rochester.
3. Cederqvist signed a one year deal with Leksand IF, which IS in the SHL.
4. https://www.leksandsif.se...qvist-till-buffalo-sabres Per Leksand's website, "On Friday night, the NHL club Buffalo Sabers announced that they had signed a two-year contract with Filip Cederqvist. This means that Cederqvist will now be on leave from the remaining contract year with Leksands IF, and should he choose to return to games in Europe, the original agreement with Leksands IF will apply again."
5. This means that it is his choice to play for Rochester if/when he doesn't make the Sabres.

Saw a Calgary fan try to dump Monahan unto us by attaching Zary to him and we give them their 6th round pick back. I'll take the free prospect, thanks.

no? but the article you posted is missing information so I figured I'd clarify.

Visiting from the Chicago board. I'm just wondering who you would rank as your top 5 forward prospects, top 3 D prospects and top 2 G prospects.

I think some of your proposals for a 2nd and Weissbach/Sardarian may be fair, but would you consider any of the above in the 7 to 10 overall range straight up for Murphy?

And where would Weissbach and Sardarian fall into the mix?

Zary's production last season in the AHL is why they're likely offering him up.

Definitely take Zary in that deal, and hope Meatballs can get Monahan to rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.

thanks for stopping by. Sardarian is a long term prospect, at least 3 years out. Weissbach had a strong rookie season in Rochester after four years at Wisconsin. He should get NHL looks next season and fight for a spot in 23-24.

Here's Scott Wheeler's ranking of our pool. If you don't have Athletic I'll break it down. Interested in having this conversation for both DeBrincat and Murphy.

Yeah I see it, but throwing in the towel on him after his true rookie season? He's free and a 2020 1st round pick. I'm all in on that steal.

(frank) it we'd be better of sticking him on IR for the year. Or the bench.
