I agree, just don't think he'll be there. There's some D that are intriguing for that pick though.

I expect it to take no more than 8 weeks. I believe 1 player will be moved.
- TheSabresTaco

That would be ideal, curious who the odd man out will be.

Sign me up for Yakemchuk or Iginla if we keep it. I want these types of players to augment our system.

He's Finnished here

I specifically said we trade #11 for #14 and Couture but keep blowing a gasket over this it’s more entertaining than Fitz slowly starting to post like he used to and Pegulaville being the most mediocre human ever still.
- Jet Jaguar BD

Either way, no thanks.

I don't think I blew a gasket.

I hate Couture, especially for three years. So no matter how you slice and dice your trade proposal, I hate it. They can do better.

Does Lindy allow custom goal songs next year?

Loggie Cout's time as a useful player in this league is Joever

That would be an impressive move by Adams.

The more I see Yakemchuk, the more I want it to be him. What a better addition to this team than a RHD that has a mean streak, a good outlet pass and isn't slow as molasses.

We could make that trade for less IMO. Not many teams(if any other team) can take that contract and hes only got 1 year left.

Some one suggested Samuelsson for him straight up. I think thats more plausible.
- DirtyDan

To take the full cap hit, not so sure Toronto doesn't have to add something.

I can tell you it'll be as irrelevant as all the rest of them

I've got offense for years between Power, Dahlin and Byram. Get me a good Samuelsson

That's a good question.

NJ didn't. Lindy stopping it would be on-brand.

Lindy's back, bring back an old goal song.

On ATW today, Rivet is suggesting :

Skinner, draft pick and prospect

for

PLD

I don't hate that.

Can we afford to take him on without some retention?

PLD - $8.5mm until 30/31

Skinner - $9mm until 27/28

Its a savings for the next few years.

don't think so and imma tella why


We're going to disregard the NMC for the moment. JT has 1 year left at 11M. He begins the season at 34 and is already a slow-ish player. His offense is beginning to regress, as of this past season.

Next, with that one year remaining, at 11M, you're asking Buffalo to disregard its other needs to bring in +7M to the cap (Tavares minus Sam) while also losing, what Kevyn considers, a top 4 defenseman.

Samuelsson has team control for 6 more years. While Tavares is a free agent at the spry young hockey age of 35, with no guarantee of not only returning, not only continuing his decent play, but also signing a team friendly deal that allows this team to sign bigger contracts to the likes of Levi (maybe), Byram, Quinn and Peterka.

You're also aiming, and Kevo's stated this numerous times, to reform the top 6 and put a lot of energy into making it an "abrasive" and "aggressive" unit. Using 11M on a middle 6 center, while creating a new hole in the defense, makes for extremely poor vision and management.

And so, no, you're not trading for John Tavares without retention, and you're not using Samuelsson, Byram, Power or Dahlin to do it.
- TheSabresTaco

Plausible wasnt the right word.

Samuelsson is expendable tho IMO. I would not care to lose him. Where as the top 5-6 D in the draft look to be far better in every aspect of the game.

To take the full cap hit, not so sure Toronto doesn't have to add something.
- Lunaion

We can fit it easily. If they want to get rid of him.

Hes a useful player still imo. If you can get him for cheap(trade value), why not? He should only cost $$$ for Pegula.

That might be what Adams has the most experience in.

i expected this flavor of response en masse.
