aint gonna happen at 800k again though

Depends if he wants to play anywhere else which isn’t necessarily a given. It’s like if me or you got a call and they were like well give you 800k to sort our mail, fix our computers. We ain’t turning that down

Yea agreed. Depth is destroying us this year, lack of it I mean. TBH, kind of like the 94 TDL is what they need to do

In the Cap era? Not possible.

true but I wouldnt count on it

I think this is a rare circumstance where there is a goalie on the roster making the minimum who could lead a team on a long playoff run if he had to

I meant not going for stars, and more complimentary pieces instead. People HATED the Amonte trade, but you know what? We don’t win the cup without that deal. It’s kind of what I mean. That team had oodles of depth and that’s what has really put the burden on the bigger guys everyone loves to hate this year

The first time I saw this had to be one of the top-10 times I laughed the hardest from something I saw on the internet

I’ve mentioned him too
- Slimtj100


Yeah and his ppg is even less than Kakko’s. Kakko, at least hopefully, has some upside.

ROR is the ideal deadline C add to give that team the extra oomph. Add Tank at RW and we're set.
Ask your brother how to make it fit.

- Fenrir


ROR is a solid player. Why do you think Colorado would even WANT to trade him?

Laf and Perrault are two. RW in general is easier to fill year to year

Doesn’t have to be glass, but if they got a center to build with for Kakko I think its a good trade is kinda what I’m getting at

Suppose we got ROR instead? Probably have to give them a first also tho. His contract isn’t bad by any means. It’s crazy how many centers that we could pluck from Nashvillle. Also, it’s pretty surprising to me that O’Reilly doesn’t have any clauses

- Slimtj100



Just saw Perrault score the game winning goal against BU this past week. The kid is a great college player but he is nowhere near NHL ready. Way too light on his skates to play in the NHL right now. Don't be making plans with him in Rangers lineup just yet. Think of him as a puppy, he has to grow into his paws. I don't think we see him in NY for at least 2 years....

Laughton is goodrow who can produce. Again he doesn’t cost much to get, and amazingly enough, hes a god damn center too I please the masses not trading players we loathe to trade sometimes haha

Why would the Flyers trade with arguably their biggest division rival, especially when theyre right there in a playoff spot.

You’d have to figure after his sophomore year, maybe junior year. But regardless it’s just an easier position to fill, RW that is. Like Blackwell for instance. That guy is worth every penny of 1.2 million bucks. He chips in goals, he’s fast, hes fiery…but he’s Colin Blackwell so no one gets excited by it.

This is why I think Tarasenko is inevitable. We get him, sign him for 2 years, in the meantime Perreault can play out one more year in college, then do a year in the AHL.

They wouldn’t lol but I did see he was potentially available. But a flyer ACGM told me the exact same thing. They’ll make a trade one day but for like Staal or something, ie- Braun
