Friday will be an intolerable day either way.

I don't understand comments like this.
CNap - hey K-von,.I'm calling you about Mittlestadt, what do you want for him ? Malinski and a 2nd round pick?
K.Adams - surely you jest!? How about Makar?
CNap - alright how about Byram ? You'd probably have to kick-in something else though.
K.Adams - we kick-in something else? I think it's the other way around. Casey's on pace for another 60 point season and your boy is playing on the bottom pair.
CNap - ok fair point but when Byram was an integral part of a Stanley Cup Final, your boy was coming off a 19 point season.

It's just an example of a stalemate on how each team could view the players involved in that hypothetical trade. That's why it's not 'just something that would have been done already'... I can easily see both points of view but the Sabres are not the ones that have a need for the playoffs...time is on their side.
Oh, god, it's going to be RyJo and a couple of 1sts for Laughton and Walker, isn't it?Do you get the feeling things are also being complicated by trying to trade Johansen?
It kind of makes you wonder if that might be the signal that a bigger move is incoming. They'll eventually find a RD that they can trade RJ and the 1st for.
It seems like Joe was happy with the 1 Cup as well. I think he's been told to keep the team competitive for as long as possible to make moneyAgreed but it does not seem like CMac's plan. He seems to want to build the future as much as possible while making little moves here and there and praying the top guys win out. Just look at what he has done since being named GM. Nothing he has done says "win now"
I would easily do a Byram/Mitts swap, but I don't see why Buffalo would do such a deal, without a BIG sweetener. They need Mitts a lot more than they need Byram. Dahlin, Power and Samuelsson are all LHD, and Dahlin already play a lot on the right side. In addition they have a functioning RyJo on the left side who seems to have played well in his first season.I don't understand comments like this.

I think if the Avs needed RyJo's cap space they could trade him to Chicago or another willing team for a 2nd round pick and his cap hit would be gone right now.Do you get the feeling things are also being complicated by trying to trade Johansen?
It kind of makes you wonder if that might be the signal that a bigger move is incoming. They'll eventually find a RD that they can trade RJ and the 1st for. After that, you might expect a separate trade announced for a forward.
You missed the point. The reason GM's wait at the deadline to make trades is for cap purpose. GM's have deals locked for days in advance but wait at the last day to make the trades.I don't understand comments like this.

Unless they are trying to land another D 1st.You missed the point. The reason GM's wait at the deadline to make trades is for cap purpose. GM's have deals locked for days in advance but wait at the last day to make the trades.
Unlike, say, trading for Henrique there's no reason to wait at the trade deadline to make a Byram for CM swap, they can do it at anytime. This is an offseason trade if anything.
I think if the Avs needed RyJo's cap space they could trade him to Chicago or another willing team for a 2nd round pick and his cap hit would be gone right now.
They aren't going to do that unless they are making another move where his cap space being gone is necessary.
I think right now, they are probably trying to include him in a transaction where they are already paying a top pick where maybe they add a little more to that for the other team to take him. If that can't happen and they have something else lined up, I think they'll do the first part.
Still makes no sense.Unless they are trying to land another D 1st.
Thinking about it more weakening the defense when Makar has been a poor man's Keith Yandle this season is not going to be good.
Why wouldn’t it make sense if they want to make sure they land a big fish Dman before moving one out?Still makes no sense.
Maybe you haven't watched enough games then my pal. Because Mikko sure as hell has proven that he can drive a line, and can take the team on his back. Anyone saying otherwise, I'm sorry to be blunt, you haven't watched the f***ing games in the last few years and have no idea what you are talking about. So shut the f*** up.It really doesn't matter. Mikko is not the kind of player you break the bank for, great production on a line with Nate or not. At least for me he isn't. Never proved he can run his own line. Pasta and Kuch are very different kind of animals for example.
That's why I wish Bednar would split them up.When MacK missed games last year and year before, Mikko absolutely carried the team
To the surprise of no one
That's why I wish Bednar would split them up.
I believe when they clear, they’re still part of the team and still have the cap hit unless they send him to AHLNoobie question: Can someone explain me the dynamic between a team waiving/player clearing waivers? Player needs to show up to AHL or hes without a team or what?
