How much would you sign Larkin or Aho for, if they want to test the market?
Seeing a 2nd line producer like Horvat getting 8x8... not sure what either one of them would want but it seems like it would be expensive in an open market.

I completely agree. Its just a question of development time, and what they develop into. Should at least become solid middle six wingers.I think Quinn and Peterka could become core pieces
if Horvat got 8.5 I could see Aho getting 9-10 and Larkin getting 8.5-9.0Seeing a 2nd line producer like Horvat getting 8x8... not sure what either one of them would want but it seems like it would be expensive in an open market.
I wouldnt bother. Players drop off in their 30s so you are likely overpaying in open market.How much would you sign Larkin or Aho for, if they want to test the market?

I can't see the sabres playing these prices.
Im glad we dont need to play in that marketSeeing a 2nd line producer like Horvat getting 8x8... not sure what either one of them would want but it seems like it would be expensive in an open market.

Who are you putting on waivers and who are you taking out of the lineup for Dumba?I think Dumba is still a smart rental at this point. His cost shouldn't be prohibitive, he's having a down year. See if he's a fit with Power and it works, if it does, sign him, if not, let him go. Let it be a true 'try before you buy' relationship for both sides.
Dumba + Greenway for Mittelstadt+ 2nd. Make it work. Or just Dumba for a 2nd.
The roster is cheap because the players that they targeted to be the core were all low salary players, either because they were on an ELC and mandated league wide that they are cheap, or hadn’t shown enough to get paid more yet.
Now if you’re of the opinion that Quinn, Peterka, Krebs and Power should be in the the AHL right now, and they should be replaced by players who are older and brought in by FA or trades, that’s your prerogative. But we all know you won’t argue in good faith.
“Adams cheaped out on a goalie by signing Comrie” while ignoring he tried to acquire Murray who said no. Kuemper and Campbell weren’t coming here unless they got a blank cheque. The only logical ones were Samsonov, Vanecek and Husso, but you would have said they went cheap if they acquired any of them.
Post your preferred lineup, and you must include those options you’re glad they avoided because it looks like a bad option now. And for those who have NTC or NMC, you have to assume they had Buffalo on it.

Carrying three goalies is going to complicate moves at the deadline as a pick or prospect for a player also has to come with the subsequent roster moves to fit the new guy in.

I also wonder if Gudas is available as a rental if they are thinking about moving the Sams?
I would take Gudas over Dumba as a RHD rental.
Gotta think Zito will do whatever he can to make the playoffs. Can't make himself look foolish after trading Huberdeau and Weegar along with what right now looks like a potential top 15 pick in the draft.Those both feel like Summer moves rather than deadline deals. Unless they bottom out hard the next few weeks, have to think they will at least not be sellers.

If the trade is made deadline day then you don't need to put anyone on waivers do you? Isn't the roster limit gone as of the trade deadline?Who are you putting on waivers and who are you taking out of the lineup for Dumba?

Why is everybody assuming he is ready and can contribute right away? That's a lot of wishfull thinking.Ryan Johnson would solve a lot of problems.
I wonder if Adams already has the answer.
How do you manage this lineup.
i have no interest in Dumba snd not for thst price.
Dumba is lucky to get a 2bd with retrntion by other teams. Mitts is worth much more than greenway…yet you give our things away…….
Where did I say that in my post? You are just assuming something I never wrote.Why is everybody assuming he is ready and can contribute right away? That's a lot of wishfull thinking.
I think the 23 player roster limit goes away at 12:01AM on deadline day.If the trade is made deadline day then you don't need to put anyone on waivers do you? Isn't the roster limit gone as of the trade deadline?

Dumba is having a bad year, he's still going to have value in the market. The only real problem is his cap space, which isn't an issue for us. He's also an upgrade over our entire bottom 3. Mittelstadt is the type of player we have a lot of whereas Greenway represents something we don't have enough of. Even if you consider Mittelstadt more valuable (i don't), swapping a surplus skill set for a lacking skillset of two tweener forwards is a win.
I do think Greenway adds an element they are lacking in the bottom 6 right now if he plays the way he did in previous seasons, not sure what is going on with him this season however. I agree that Mitts is worth more, and would probably see someone like Asplund as the guy you move for him. Not that I have anything against Asplund, but they would ideally fill similar defensive winger type of roles with Greenway being much more physical and adding that size to the bottom 6. Asplund even with needing a new contract would save the Wild some cap dollars.How do you manage this lineup.

Setting naiveity aside, Johnsson needing no time in the AHL seems optomistic. I think this roster has moved to a different phase of on-the-job training, and going forward the threshold for a roster spot and definition of NHL-ready will get more restrictive and have higher standards. This group is allowed to make mistakes and grow up until now. That is not a perpetual state or philosophy this team will continue to take IMO.Its also naive to think he would be worse than Bryson or Clague.
