weber ....

[ct bills fan]

Looks good but how about a fa signing other than goalies, maybe a dman? No way Reinhardt is a 4th line center - they'd put him as first line center in Rochester before 4th line center in buf

[ct bills fan]

And no weber please, certainly not a first line d

[OpIv37]

Reinhardt may start as a 4th line center but he won't be there long.

I'd do the ROR trade in a second. Not sure if I'd give up on Zads yet, especially since it means Weber gets more playing time.

I'd like to move on from Moulson but we would need another moderately priced vet winger.

[casdhf]

he has a no movement clause and 4 years left ...

He would be an excellent 2nd liner.

IMO no way does Grigorenko and a 1st get O'Reilly. They are going to want a roster player in return.

I think you're underestimating cap issues here.

This shows that COL has plenty of space to re-sign him. I do think it's possible but just with not Grigorenko. Why would they give up one of their top C for 2 question marks? Specially 1 question mark who has shown no ability to stick with an NHL club and coming off his rookie deal. And not just any NHL club, a historically terrible one. So I think you are over-estimating Grigorenko's value. I still think that they would want a roster player in the deal.

I'm not moving zad for tj oshie. No way.

heres a good read I've been aware of for awhile now. There's a balancing act here related to centers and their cap that they're going to have to be mindful of. O'Reilly could realistically be a 3rd line center. Do you pay a 3rd line center $7 million?

Its is a question the Sabres may face at some point when it comes to Girgensons.

That's because you're an idiot goalie.

[JATMtheJATM]

No, because you don't trade away youth for a guy exiting his prime during a rebuild.

He's 28 and I want to win next year.

Not if your rolling 4 lines all season long and he's killing penalties?

Sorry, I don't believe in abandoning a long term plan for an aging player. I want to win next year too, but not at the expense of a young stud d-man.

[coastal]

He isn't a stud.

Hes an ignorant kid.

[JATMtheJATM]

Emphasis on the word "kid"

[coastal]

u have an obsession with the promise of tomorrow.

[JATMtheJATM]

I do. I don't believe in trading away youth for an aging player during a rebuild. Good teams don't become good by being impatient.

[coastal]

Zad is going to grow up to be the next Chara.

i Can just fee it
