Macarthur out with another concussion, need a top 6 LW as soon as possible.
Don't know who else is available, but what would it take to get Kane before the season starts?
First time using this but it's 100% warranted :
Should note that management will look at internal options first. Puempel/Dzingel/Paul/Lazar/Perron will likely all get looks. And Smith played with Ryan down the stretch last year and played well. No need to panic to this extent
This. I believe Dzingel will shine. The guy is fast, skilled, tenacious and seems to have great work ethic. He's ready and that's his best opportunity so far. Will have competition with Puempel for a LW job but don't think others will be in contention because :
- Perron is still very young and raw for pro hockey
- Lazar is a Center or RW, never played LW
- Paul is a shutdown Center who makes me think more and more about Couturier. Maybe he could start on LW if the need is there. Sens are also stacked at Center (Turris-Brassard-Pageau-Smith-Brown-White)
Mac may be injured. But I still want no part of Kane. I'd take Moulson before him.
Actually, if the Sabres are rich enough (which I think they are with Pegula), would they do?
MacArthur for Moulson
Moulson is owed 13.0 which is less than MacArthur (18.6) so if Clarke CAN'T come back AND if the contract WAS NOT insured... then it would make sense... Buffalo get rid of cap hit and can LTIR MacArthur
Would the Sens have any interest in Drew Stafford for some help on the offense?
Yeah but his salary (4.35) doesn't fit in the budget... MacArthur would need to go the other way and I doubt Winnipeg is in position to do things like that
Would rather relocate the team than trade for Kane.
This.
