I agree; he most likely would not give up millions to be on a SC contender rather than the TML next season. That's why I said a "pipe dream".

We have the opportunity to do something special with 6.5 million coming off. The cap's increase can go to Zetterlund and Kleven's extensions. That gives us about 10 million to work with (Giroux +Forsberg)
Here are the facts:
1. If we want to rise and be a contender, we have to allocate the 9 million of Giroux and Perron elsewhere.
2. Ottawa probably will want to remain loyal to Giroux since he chose us instead of a contender and he can still play.
3. Giroux and Perron are 37 and 38 next year with diminished skating. We will likely have to only keep 1. Money is on Giroux
4. Ottawa will probably make a decision to go one of two ways in the off-season:
i) Utilize their cap to get a big ticket forward addition
ii) Utilize their cap to build a powerful 4th line, and try to obtain someone at reasonable contract like Marchmant or O'Reilly and then make the push for deadline deal.
Example 1:
Tkachuk-Stutzle-Ehlers
Zetterlund-Cozens-Batherson
Greig-Pinto-Giroux
Cousins-Sturm-Amadio
Example 2:
Tkachuk-Stutzle-Coyle(example)
Zetterlund-Cozens-Batherson
Greig-Pinto-Amadio
Giroux-Iafallo-Armia
If we're talking pipe dreams then I want to shoot a little higher than that soft, playoff no-show dweeb Marner.
Yea, Marner isn't it at all. Rantanen was a pipe-dream. I never once considered interest in Marner.
Dw brother we will see. Someone doesn't post numbers like that with or without mackinnon when he's injured and is product of him.
Guys, there is a virtual Q&A with the team for SSMs.
I manned up and asked Staios if he had anything to do with the Norris jersey racks and whether he expected the trade to be broken that way. Hopefully he answers my question.
With how sensitive they are to leaks, I'm sure they will think twice about doing that in the future. #bootsontheground.

I knew it would payoff. Just waiting for that verified insider status to come back from the mods.
It's a lot to ask from Yakemchuk.
He might not even make the full-time roster next year.
Sanderson is doing extremely well with Zub riding shotgun. Meanwhile, we saw how he did with Hamonic.
Interesting deal - high risk high upside.

I don't get it...I see your complaints about our team being soft, and you want to spend 9M on a player that plays with the same density as a cloud??
Zub has a 10 team NTC that Buffalo is almost certainly on.
I also don’t think Zub gets you Peterka, and that contract AAV seems low to me.
They seem to absolutely hate peterka and want him off the team so….
Not sure if that’s just hfsabre crap or what. Haven’t watched a lot of their games.
Their team hasn’t made the playoffs in 14 years, I think it is fair to say their views are somewhat distorted by the losing and understandably so.
Batherson struggled for two months and people were ready to trade him for a bag of pucks. I don’t really think it has any indication of a player’s actual value or abilities.
It seems strange to me that Peterka would be on the block, he's very young and obviously still an RFA, if you're Buffalo you want him to be one of the pieces to build around.
You can't put Yak with Sanderson, he's strruggling defending in the WHL, let alone top NHL players.
Then you put Matinpalo with Sanderson. and have Yak and Kleven on the bottom.
