Mitts, Olofsson, 2021 and 2022 firsts.

If that ain’t good enough then so be it
- Pegullaville

Cozens is a no go. 👍

Cozens will be our best forward outside of Jack, unless Hall resigns, within the next 2 years
- Pegullaville

I agree - because I think Reinhart is probably gone to pay for Hall unless Okposo retires

People who would trade Cozens are just jaded after what happened with Mittelstadt

No way am I trading Cozens + firsts or other pieces for someone like PLD

Cozens is a on a very similar trajectory to PLD
- sbroads24

early indications are that he's very well-centered, very talented and well aware of where he is, what he needs to do and how much it will take to get there

Which one of Eichel or Reinhart played that role when Skinner scored 40?
- kingcong39

Well Eichel is no slouch around the boards.

Since it's more active on this page

Where is a good place to stream games? I live in the UK and miss watching hockey
- dmarsden2988

Did you move to the UK or born/living there ?

What part of the UK ?

What are the odds of you getting me a great job there and paying all my moving expenses ?

I would hope they keep Reinhart over Skinner.

He’s the better player now, and over the years to come.

I also think Cozens can and will be better than both and that is not a slight to Reinhart at all.

As I get older I am becoming more susceptible to narrative and I like his Yukon story

- Pegullaville

One you would get a positive return for, and one you'd have to pay to offload. Reinhart is the easier choice to jettison. Okposo going away would largely pay to keep Reinhart though

With a stagnant cap, the situation as-is becomes untenable with regard to keeping both Hall and Reinhart without Okposo going to the retirement home

My God we need games to start.

If the coach isn’t going to play a god damn 30-40 goal scorer with guys he can score 30-40 goals with (Eichel, Staal) then just let him go to Seattle if he wants to.

It’s a really annoying topic now

- sbroads24

super annoying. considering he has the worst contract in the league, he was untradeable the day he signed it. if we want Seattle to take him, I think the conversation starts with two 1st rd picks going their way for compensation. I would still entertain it.

Fake news. He does not have the worst contract in the league.

Skinner is a good player. He’s not Leino

leino isnt in the nhl.

all things considered, mainly term, who is worse? doughty maybe? not many others. IMO

Doughty FOR SURE is worse. Doughty was terrible last year and has really aged

Carey Price 10.5 for a goalie who isn’t even top 5. Bobrovsky

There’s quite a few I’d take Skinner’s over, and Skinner’s is for sure bad

- TheHank

So, instead of frittering away 2 first round picks, why not get your 25-30+ goals per season from skinner while placing him in a position to succeed?

I guarantee, when Hall puts up 35+40 this year with Jack, people (ralph included?) will be willing to go 8yrs./$80m for a winger who'll be turning 30 at the beginning of next season.

Skinner is still in his prime and scores 20+ goalies in his sleep each year.

I like him with cozens because if cozens is nhl level comfortable. He will carry the puck like Eichel does

Hopefully that means the Sabres had a playoff season and looked good. I dont want to talk about the alternative on the eve of the season.

sounds like 6-8 more years before we can start talking about a cup to me. (IMO)

It also depends on the economics of the nhl.

Hoffman took 4 mill a year for 1 year. That’s basically half price

but but but how could we afford to NOT sign him?

- sbroads24

You are that certain that Cozens is going to be as good as PLD and while playing Center?

I think that is far from a certainty and by no means a lock.
