Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XVII

[NYRangers0723]

Food for thought: Perhaps this trade is an indication of how teams feel about this year's draft. If you think the quality isn't as high this year + you had less chances to scout properly, the pick becomes a bigger question mark -- making them less valuable - at least to some GMs.

. Perhaps. I mean the 2017 draft was very weak that’s why Arizona had no problem giving up the 7th overall pick. But it’s not even the pick it’s the fact that Buffalo wants at least two of our top young players and prospects on top of the pick. It seems like they want one of Kakko/Laf, Nils/Schneider, Strome/Chytil, plus the 15th pick which is hilarious

OMG

Instead of worrying about how this drives the price up for Eichel, Drury should see what he can get for Strome and Buchnevich. Also, why not target Dvorak from Arizona?

 

[LOFIN]

Is Georgiev a bad teammate? He had the issue with Tony. Many people have issues with Tony.

I thought I've read the exact opposite about Georgiev, that he gets along well with other guys.

 

[BBKers]

Just heard that We have put in an offer for Soucy in Seattle. Makes sense

 

[MrAlmost]

The twist will be that Risto will probably be better away from Buffalo.

It's a good deal for the Sabres though. Makes the Strome, Georgiev, 1st and 4th package for Eichel feel better. ;-)

 

[NYR94]

If he wanted a RHD Fletcher could have called TB and acquired the rights to David Savard for a lot less than he paid Buffalo for Ristolainen. Savard can actually defend.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Why didn’t we trade Jack Johnson for a first? fireable offense by Gorton

 

[Gardner McKay]

You said yesterday Buch was a goner by end of day.

 

[RangerBoy]

The Habs are the mystery team.

 

[duhmetreE]

If we don't get Eichel and continue to get tougher to play against, this off-season is a victory

[mas0764]

So, what can we get for Buch now?????

Lundell

i think Buch is the big one. I don’t think anybody cares about Strome.

Bergy getting hoodwinked by his fluke run?

Go for it MTL.

His advanced stats are trash, no?

 

[E-Train]

I'm cool with Reaves.

Some will flip, but he can skate, bang and when he gets the puck along the walls, he's pretty good at keeping it away from his opponents.

100%. I take Reaves over some Corsi friendly munchkin on the 4th line.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Lundell

might have to throw in Nils and Laf for that heartthrob

 

[Cmox]

Drury get a first for JMFJ!

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Thank god Seattle didnt take Price

 

[nyrage]

Michael Russo did say that we were doing our due diligence on him

 

[TheKing30]

I have no issue with reaves. Would love Soucy for the right price

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Wouldn’t they want Suzuki from MTL? maybe Kotkaniemi +

 

[NYSPORTS]

used car in demand from people tired of walking

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Seravalli made it sound like Seattle is keeping Soucy.
