The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[Fjordy]

Baker Fairburn kicking the tires today on a Trouba/Keider trade. Both have movement language in their deals, and being a conference foe, not sure either team does it.

I think in the situation with Trouba an trade is possible, I’m not sure about Kreider.

lol - we're you the first on the list? That little whipper-snapper. Damn millennials think they rule the world now.

I was the one who made the “ in this economy? “ joke.

Whats with the Nashville / Pittsburgh trade? Dominoes or just a roster move?

Well, Dubas is trying to find a diamond for cheap, and Trotz is... weird. But as I understand it, Brunett trusts only veterans, and young players are not held in high esteem by him.

Byrum is now 3rd in the league in 5x5 defensemen scoring, Power 2nd, Makar 1st.

Keep Kulich up/at center Wednesday or send back to Roch?

Rosy would go back before him.

try Cozens at wing again ? looks good there for Canada, should work here too

 

[Sabre the Win]

He's not our future 2C that is forsure, I think the Sabres should be looking for a trade down that avenue. He should be at the wing position and if he still can't get his game back on track, goodbye.

I wish I could get Cozens in an accuracy contest to see if he can hit the targets or if he would just keep firing into the cardboard chest of the goaltender put in net.

 

[debaser66]

Same as Skinner ? Better be smart here, cant just hand out big contract, see Mittlestadt contract thats how you do it

I don't see the irony

But Sullivan isn't much better at the whole "trusting vets while not trusting kids".

I suppose getting a 4th in 3 years is better than losing Tomasino for nothing............

What I'd do:

Peterka-Thompson-Tuch
Benson-McLeod-Cozens
Zucker-Kulich-Quinn
Malenstyn-Krebs-NAK
x Lafferty

Rosen back down the 90.

I might keep Lafferty over NAK. Aube-Kubel hasn't impressed me so far, and Lafferty is a better PK'er on a kill that's definitely improved over the last stretch (though most of that is probably due to better goaltending).

 

[BFLO]

Make Nashville an offer they can't refuse for ROR.

I'd love ROR back.

But if he was traded back here I imagine he'd crash into as many Tim Horton's locations as it would take to get his contract voided before he ever suited up for us again.

 

[Uberpecker]

We basically have three puckmoving PPQB #1 dmen. So far, two of them work well as a pairing, which is good.
As soon as Byram needs a new contract, decisions about asset management and cap allocation are going to have to be made, however.

 

[Djp]

If he'd waivers his ntc, what about Trouba? And how cheap could he be to acquire?

I think in the situation with Trouba an trade is possible, I’m not sure about Kreider.

Trouba is bad. That's before you factor in his cap.

Well, Dubas is trying to find a diamond for cheap, and Trotz is... weird. But as I understand it, Brunett trusts only veterans, and young players are not held in high esteem by him.a yh j look at it....

With Nashville it was as numbers game. Hes someone that sits in the pressbox and has to clear waivers to go down.

This off season Nashville signed a few wingers that forced him out of top 9.

Now they have a bunch of younger winger on ELC coming up that are passing him

How do we like Whitecloud as a 4D here ?

Do we have anything realistic Vegas would want or just futures ?

Any guesses on a price ?

KA owes it to the team and the fans to get a legit 4D here

Whitecloud is my long-time crush as the solution at 4.

Yes, it seems Trouba had one of those games again that I described as "terrible". That's why the Trouba option bothers me, he just doesn't seem good at defense.

reading up more now and do you think Whitebread could perform in top 4, or is more a 3rd pair guy ?

Maybe Sullivan will be gone soon, who knows. Nashville is just doing the wrong thing.

I like Whitecloud. I've also seen reports from Vegas fans that he might be expendable since he doesn't play in the top 4 when everyone is healthy, plus they have the cheaper Korczak. But I have no idea what Vegas will be looking for, maybe something around one of our forward prospects as a base.

 

[debaser66]

Is there any incentive for Vegas to move him?

I replied before your comment.
