The Kings offer PLD at 50% retained for Skinner 50% retained. Both players agree to the trade. You say:

PLD plays center, Skinner does not, easy yes…

He's 24 yrs old and been on 3 teams already, He's the laziest player in the NHL.

2024 1st and Ryan Johnson

for

Mitch Marner.

no way we should be picking in this draft we are way beyond that.

I guess Panthers need to knock the rust off. Better do it fast. They’re a fragile team.

Isn’t Mitch pretty lazy himself? Are you finding a way to off load skinner to add Mitch?

Barring a lotto win, I completely agree, package and trade the pick…. But is Mitch the target?

Boston is going to get tired and need to recharge eventually.

Mitch knows how to listen to voicemails, that's huge on a Lindy Ruff run team.

Gabriel’s gate serves French onion soup…PLD is French…I like that connection, Alec Baldwin this deal

Gabe’s Gate had the most mediocre/overpriced food in Buffalo

Damn, I used to love going there when I worked downtown. Never had a bad bit of grub...but it is a little pricey.

Instead of typing it all out, here's a filter of 1st round picks being traded at the draft.

https://www.capfriendly.c...ers=1&event=draft&round=1

Need to scratch out celery dumps, like the Kassian and Mrazek deals.

Kirby Dach for 13 and 66
Alex Romanov and 98 for 13
Alex DeBrincat for 7, 39, 72
Sam Reinhart for B++ prospect, 28
Seth Jones, 32, 173 for Adam Boqvist, 6, 12, 44
Rasmus Ristolainen for Robert Hagg, 14, 39

Common theme here is players on expiring contracts (within a year) are the ones being traded at the draft.

I went last summer and had a good burger if I remember right, it's pretty tough to mess up a burger though. You're paying a bit extra for the name at this point, but it is a nice bar and I like the old, antique feel. It'd be a shame if they let quality slip, I'll probably go back to test that pretty soon.

How much would acquiring a guy like Marner, 1 year shy of UFA, scare you, given our current circumstances?

Middle 6 centers with the plausibility of using #11 (and possibly more)

William Karlsson, NTC - 31, 3 more years, 5.9M
Boone Jenner, NTC - 30, 2 more years, 3.75M
Nick Schmatlz, NTC - 28, 2 more years, 5.85M
Sam Bennett - 1 more year, 4.425M
Noah Cates, RFA - 1 more year, 2.265M

There are some great options for the 3/4C spots that wouldn't use 11OA.

I would personally avoid Mitch Marner at market value.

The fit is poor.

There isn't a realistic scenario that works for Buffalo to take him.

Taking Mitch means offloading all of Jeff and Peterka too.

Then you're gambling on him re-signing a deal, and that deal isn't more than Dahlin.

All for a guy who gets mud stomped in the playoffs every single year.

On top of all that, you still need to fill your gaps on the bottom 6 without signing 6 Mark Jankowskis.
