Yeah, the team was 24th in scoring last year. This team doesn't need both of these guys long-term

So rid of the older lesser Girgensons.

Cashman doing well at the TDL.
- Powerslave

Yeah I like what he's done, surprised he got that pitcher for Gallo. Beeter slids in at 10 on the Yankees top 30 prospect list.

Sabres have played a lot of hockey without Girgensons the last few years. I would see what he is worth at the TDL.

Not to say it can't be done, but the Jays have been stuck at 12gms back for a bit. Really don't see anyone catching the Yankees in the East unless disaster strikes.

For being how old he is there's really no room for growth for him. I'd like an upgrade. Good faceoff man with some snarl.

If he could take faceoffs like Eakin its a bit of a different story but hes just not that good at anything he does.

Just progression to me, Sabres have guys about to take some spots, players are gonna fall into there top 6-9-12 rolls and Girgensons should be redundant

Why is redundant so bad? Always need a couple 4th line + PK guys. Asplund gives a little more than that.

Hes a good 4th line/Pk guy but more so as a winger. Hes average at faceoffs and this was the only reason Eakin was around and played as much as he did.

You can find Girgs everywhere you look esp. for less than 2.2mill

Sure, but almost everyone here knows they overpaid Girgs. If he comes back for 1m, fine by me.

Whether they overpaid or not you can find the same or better for cheaper

His best year as a C in FO% is like 49.6, if he can't improve that and stays at W, then he really shouldn't be needed after the TDL, atleast if players progress and take spots.

Poyer out 2+ weeks with a Hyperextended elbow. Should be back before season starts.

The Yankees acquired Gold Glove-winning center fielder Harrison Bader from the St. Louis Cardinals for left-hander Jordan Montgomery ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, a surprising deal aimed at improving defense. 😳

In the short, it hurts your team. Long term, though, he's an elite defending CF.

Definitely a risky trade.
