They're talking about re-signing Greenway, but if that doesn't happen over the next few days he could be a nice fit too.

Watching enough Greenway in Minnesota & Buffalo, feel like he'd disappoint in Tampa

Right now the guy getting demoted would be... Girgensons? We need a bottom 6 too.

I figure if we make a trade with Buffalo, we'd send Girgensons back to them.

Literally yesterday

The Sheet Blog: Stars, Wyatt Johnston working on contract extension

The two sides are inching toward an eight-year pact in the $8 million – 8.5 million range.

With ownership more involved in hockey decisions than ever, one thing we should always keep in mind is how the guy who pays the bills feels about certain players. Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula always had an affinity for forward Zemgus Girgensons and is now said to cite JJ Peterka as a favorite for various reasons. Not that this makes the German forward an untouchable, but it does complicate any possible trade.

He was looking decent in Buffalo until he got injured. The Minny thing ended on a bit of a sour note but I think he could put it together for a few months going into a contract year. I don't see it being a high price for him but could be wrong. Him, Paul and Chaffee could be a nice 3rd line.

I know in years past, they've had the Sportsnet feed on NHLN and NHL.com, although they like to throw to their own studio show for the deadline itself.

DailyFaceoff.com will also be streaming.

No one actually calls them that. It's just Minnesota.

Chaffee looks better this year but still worried about him in a series against the Panthers or Leafs considering how out of place he looked in the middle 6 in the 2024 Playoffs.

It's like one would say Pitt for Pittsburgh, just a short form. Seen it plenty but I'll make sure it never happens again

If we really dont make a big top 6 move, i think this is what we will be looking at come playoff time

Howard as an extra maybe?

The only thing people would refer to as "Pitt" is University of Pittsburgh. That is it.

No one in Minny calls themselves that. Ask the average resident of Hotlanta, and they won't think anything of it.
