Hard to guess. Not sure if they are willing to buyout or how much they'd be willing to retain. Big one to watch this offseason. Can't go Skinner, Krebs, Greenway 3rd line.

I’d say it’s pretty likely all 3 are in the starting line up this fall

I like the skinner talk, but he has a full no trade. It would have to be a team he really wants to play for. A good team most likely and a good team most likely wouldn’t want him or his contract imo

That would be nice.

Should be able to get something of good value from a combination of:
11th
Joker
Kulich
Rosen
Krebs
Bryson
as well as perhaps another roster player or two.

FA Targets
Blueger for 4C @ 2x $1.8m
Joshua for 4LW @ 3 x $2.5m
Matt Duchane for 2C @ $3 x $7.0m
Chris Tanev for 2RhD @ 2 x $4.1m
OS: Lundell, and make it painful to match

Trade Targets
Nik Ehlers
Erik Cernak
Owen Tipett

Edit: corrected spelling of Lundell

Really good post uncle ion

Would you consider trading Zach benson or is he on the no trade list?

Just guessing, but coming from Gerbe so early in the offseason, they probably discussed it with him already....or they really are planning to buy him out. This early, I'd lean towards the trade. Maybe retention opens up some options.

That’s cool, I’ve always liked skinner. Seams like a decent guy and teammate.
He’s just a bit to smiley and maybe having too much fun on a losing team/ organization.

Old Lindy would not put up with Skinner. Maybe things have changed, but he is not a fit for a Lindy team.

Skinner stays

Lindy needs his new Afinogenov to scream at the entire game

Facing 3 years of that, Skinner accepts a trade anywhere.

Wasn't Danny Gare the first Sabre to score 50 goals in a season if I am not mistaken
- 3rd GM's the charm


You're mistaken, Martin did it the 2 years before Gare

Buy out just seams so unlikely with skinner.

A trade seams very unlikely too.

Completely agree that skinner and Lindy aren’t a good match .

What’s more likely, buy out or trade ?

This just seams tough to pull off imo

Who has in that group, and Rosen might be the best 200ft Winger of the group.
- Buff36


Rosen and rousek are very blahhh at the nhl level.

Kulich hasn’t had enough games to show anything

Yes because those 7 games were a fair evaluation of Rosen! Ok

Easy to see if you watched.


Which you don’t. And it’s noticeable

"Rosen hasn't shown anything at the NHL level"

"Rosen is very blahhhh at the NHL level"

"I wouldn't be afraid to move him"


Who is giving you anything of value if Rosen is so OBVIOUSLY horrible?

Rousek looks the part of a tweener.

Rosen probably needs a little more time to get a better idea of his overall game .

7 games is a small sample size, but he was non existent

I was trying to add Rosen to a skinner trade earlier .

I’m guessing he’s worth a similar value to #11 overall this year? Maybe a tad less?

Understanding this is from a Jets perspective, I have seen a couple Ehlers to Buffalo trades. I want to like that player. Should I not? Most of the trades I am fine with too on what we give up, from Jets fans. Is he good or not? I looked up goals and points and I don’t mind those numbers. $6m a couple more years.

Just 1 year. That's the big problem.

Right. Ok. Yea that might be an issue then. Ok. Should I be interested in this player though?

Scott Wheeler of the Athletic lists Rosen as our 6th best prospect, ahead of guys like Ryan Johnson, Novikov, Komarov.

Yes. Makes a lot of sense, if they could extend him.

Exactly how I feel about both.

A prospect being called up doesn’t need to be amazing. Just needs to show sign. Show something.

Rosen and rousek failed to do so
