The hope here is Seattle stumbling out of the gate and getting in early with Francis skirting us to have some dialogue with Larsson, convincing him to come back and try to win a Championship. Hope he has the time of his life and maybe he'll want to finish his career here.I like Ekblad Pionk but they’re on contenders. Then you’ve got Larsson, maybe Seattle slips out again. Tough to find a Ceci upgrade on the rental market eh.

Same. I think he plays in the NHL within the next two seasons. Smart two way player, just a little on the smaller side.A little sad to see Tullio go, but Savoie will make me forget real quick.
Turning a bottom 6 guy, even if he is a speed demon and a very good PKer, along with a minor prospect into a very recent top 10 talent pick is something. There is no way in hell Holland would pull something like this off.I'm not even a Holland hater, but this offseason feels like the training weights are off or something.
Free agents wanting to sign with a winning team is one thing, but fleecing other GMs is another story all together.
Holloway isn't a cap casualty and is built for the playoffsGotta think Holloway might be dealt for a dman here. Math don't add up, too many NHL forwards atm
He was 2ppg in the WHL, and ppg in the AHL last season, plays all situations including PK in junior, and is according to most Sabres fans NHL ready. I'm willing to place my bets that he not only helps us next season, but plays his way into the top 9.He doesn't help anytime soon.. and by god is he small.
I know he's a good player... I'm just surprised this is the move we are making.
I feel like there has to be another move coming.
Not cap math. There are tooooo many forwardsHolloway isn't a cap casualty and is built for the playoffs
I think Savoie means they are for sure keeping Holloway, not that I ever thought they were thinking of moving him. The Oilers are bringing in 3 guys under 5'10 to replace two guys over 6'3. I hope they aren't thinking about moving anymore size up front.Gotta think Holloway might be dealt for a dman here
There's 13 forwards. How is there too many? Trading McLeod freed up 2.1MNot cap math. There are tooooo many forwards
CrosbyNow I'm interested in what we are getting for Nurse/Ceci
Yeah, I cannot see any situation where Holloway is moved.Holloway isn't a cap casualty and is built for the playoffs
Yep I think this is the exact move comingWondering if we might see Ceci out and boqvist in as a 3rd pair sheltered pmd.
Holloway, Savoie, and O’Reilly are our future 2nd wave of talent. They aren’t going anywhere.Gotta think Holloway might be dealt for a dman here. Math don't add up, too many NHL forwards atm
Gotta think Holloway might be dealt for a dman here. Math don't add up, too many NHL forwards atm
If Nurse returned to form this would be a huge move. If Nurse keeps playing poorly though, it gets a bit scrambly on the back end.Wondering if we might see Ceci out and boqvist in as a 3rd pair sheltered pmd.
Mark Stone-up Evander Kane until playoffs or get rid of someone like Derek Ryan. Holloway offers too much value for his expected ~1 million cap hit contract.Not cap math. There are tooooo many forwards
Gotta think Holloway might be dealt for a dman here. Math don't add up, too many NHL forwards atm
It adds up fine if logic suggests Kane won't be out a whole season like fans are OPTIMISTICALLYThe math here does not add up
