Around the NHL: 2019-20 Part 2

Thats one dumb move JB can't make anymore (trade for Galchenyuk)

SHUSH. Because Minny and Buffalo never make trades...................

 

[Chainshot]

Not that I would have paid that price (I wouldn't).......but what's the info on Addison? Anything there?

Draft year he was a really good offensive D. Seems to still be his bread and butter.

Dodged the Galchenyuk bullet

Just coming to post this. Granted, there is all that history between Buffalo and various Minny GM's... so yeah. Let's not think that idea is dead.

Famous last words

Just wait until July 2 when half the board is trying to talk themselves into Galchenyuk at 2x$3.75.

Why not? The Sabres need a 'chuk.

Oh wait....

Pens pay for the term. Zucker has three years left and that gives them a speed guy to compliment Sid and Geno.

I'm interested to see if this shakes any other teams into early action. Columbus could use some help with their injuries. Same with Carolina. Florida has been shopping, might want to push things along to make sure they are keeping pace. This is actually a good thing for Buffalo since it seems like most of the shopping is for defensemen right now, per the Canadian Hockey Punditry.

Oh no, we're going to trade Pilut, aren't we.

You think it'll be that low?

Trade makes sense.

Pitt is in win now mode
Minny is in build for the future mode

Must be nice to have a team with a mode.

You forgot to bold the term too...

Commode.

Quinn Hughes is so much fun to watch. He remains my favorite non-Rasmi from the 2018 draft. He has his fourth 3-assist game of the season tonight, tying him for the record for most as a rookie defenseman with some guy named Orr.

And on the other side of the ice, the Preds are a mess.

 

[SabresSharks]

Is it truly unlimited or will they throttle drinkers after they reach a quota?

This could end poorly.

 

[Reddawg]

That Zucker deal really sets the trade bar at an uncomfortably high level.

Not for sellers.

Even though the media seems to think Botterill HAS TO do something about his top 6 because fans are demanding it, the likelier scenario is they are selling a defenseman with term (Risto/Montour). In that sense, the Zucker deal should mean a pretty good return.

Are we talking a good return from our point of view or Jason Botterill's point of view?

Touche!

I said should.

I don't see any team giving more for Risto/Montour now than in the summer.

Only guys I expect should be moved are pending UFAs.

Does that kill the sheary to pitt rumors

Probably. But with how they shuffle players around? Who knows.

 

[Chainshot]

So glad he included everybody who is on the list. Not like it’s a subtle dig at Buffalo or anything.

Both WPG and COL both looking like dance partners right now for a D. For one, a long-term fix that can help out this years run would be a cherry on top.

He was specifically responding to a post by Yerdon, so I don't think he was maliciously singling us out
