Playoffs.

We’d have to bring back Hasek in his prime to not give up 5 goals a game with that lineup though defensively

Is this a reverse psychology thing like what we thought about Hall and Staal?

Peters said, the morning of, that 'if anyone could/would do it, it would be Adams, because he could not only convince him to come here, but he knows who the player really is, inside and out'

And coincidentally it happened that night, and that night, he said the Sabres weren't on his NTL (as speculated, because he said the year prior he only put PO teams on his list) and that he knew him well, and not only was it a position of need, it was his character that he wanted here also.

Hard to turn down two 1st round picks for a 31 year old, though. For a rebuilding team. I think they'd really consider that offer. You get a 24 year old top line winger and 2 1sts for a guy who's got 2-3 years left of his prime. Maybe 4, since he plays a soft game.

If I were the Hawks, I would absolutely pull that trigger.

River also basically said no chance in (frank) he's moving to come here. Think the whole board agreed with him.

I'm sober. Nice try. But 1300 comments of the same damn discussion over and over for going on 2 years now will eventually get old.

Who cares? It would be the best Sabres line since Gerald Ford was president (or translated into Canadian via Google, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau)

"The Sabres want you to come play with Taylor Hall and Jack Eichel" is a pretty good sales pitch

Sure but he’s 31 and we’d be stuck with the cap for how many years ?

If we are gonna go d!cks out might as well move Risto/Montour ++ for Laine and then either just qualify him the year after or trade him again after he scores 40 with Hall and Eichel.

We'd be "stuck" with him for 3 years, coming off 84 points in 70 games last year, and 110 the year before

Why would the Hawks take on MORE salary to get rid of PK88??

I’d assume if they’re trading him, they’d just want picks & younger players back

I realize ppl wanna get rid of Okposo,
but it’s VERY doubtful at this point

I mean if you can acquire Kane for Risto, Okposo, Mittelstadt, and a 2021 first I’m all for it.

We’d have a great top 6 and then the worst roster ever below it

i would assume one of those is the fee for taking okposo.. take out concussed larry and one of the firsts.. would they do that? i can't imagine they want concussed larry..

i think that all depends on Tage, cousins and eatkids. they could possibly make a decent third line if tage and cousins are ready

Why wouldnt they? They are rebuilding, Moving out Toews, Kane and Keith gives them huge cap flex.
