NHL trade deadline in two weeks...

[Chainshot]

Any contract talks with Henri, or Buffalo has just decided he is no longer worth a spot?

Seems like he's going to be leaving based on last summer's talk that they tried to move him.

Watch. Joker is going to end up being another team’s Tony Lydman.

He might. There was a time when slotted way, way down the Tampa lineup that Brokegosian looked like a legit defenseman too.

I was thinking from the 4 Nations hype bump, and the fact he's likely only worth a mid round rental pick at best , there is another extension coming

I wonder if there is any interest out there for Johnson ?

Color me highly, highly skeptical of that.

They gave him a 1yr deal last summer that walked him to FA this summer so hes not in the long term plans.

Wonder if we get a few big deals over the weekend after insiders told us they thought there would be league activity over the break ?

Biggest name out there now seems to be Seth Jones with a nearly unmovable contract. (will take retention, and possible 3rd club to take on salary per Dregs)

5 years of retention is going to cost a big asset.

Joker not bad just Sabres who cant ice a good team overall so players are bad here

I Said hopefully sabres dont trade for Petterson as he Will not suit us and I dont think he is good now and many here on the forum didnt agree. Look at his play at 4 nations any here WHO still wanna trade for him ?

Yes.

San Jose has no retention slots. Burns, Hertl and Karlsson are already being retained.

I was perusing the Kings board and someone proposed a base of Byfield+Spence for Cozens+Byram with +s on either side as necessary. Wanted to share because I thought it was unique.

Spence isn't much to write home about for me. Kind of an upgraded version of Bryson. Small, quick...better on defense than offense.....I'm not all that sure he rises much above good 3rd pairing guy once away from LA.

Byfield is an absolute gamble. Remember those old-school RPGs where there was always that one weapon that either missed or landed a critical hit.....and nothing in between? That's Byfield to me. He either hits and becomes a legit #1 C......or he completely whiffs and is bought out and over in Europe in short order.

I wouldn't take the chance,

Joker isn't as bad as we complain he is. He's just played way too far up the lineup, in a role he's not suited for.

He's pretty good for a bottom pairing PMD. But we play him in a top 4 role as the shutdown guy paired with other young PMDs.

He's like Colin Miller. He looked bad here in a top 2 or top 4 role. But he'll look good in a bottom pairing role on a playoff team.
