The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

...
I went over to the Canucks board and they think their GM is all about acquiring Byram as the 2 to Quinn.

Not picking on you in particular, but "Over on the fill-in-the-blank-team's board they're saying ..." is a very questionable rationale I see posted all the time. In this specific case, they just need to wait on Hronek, who is the perfect complement to Quinn.

For the record, Mitts for Byram was a great hockey trade that has hurt the Sabres big time. I like Bo - he knows hockey ;-). But if he wants out, it's absolutely him traded over Power. I can live quite happily with a top-4 anchored by Dahlin and Power.

And a GM who can find partners to complement them.

Oh ya, and if Byram insists on being *the guy* on D, Vancouver is among the worst possible landing spots.

On the other hand, they need a guy who moves the puck on the second pair and Byram is their local guy.

Byram wants to be *the guy* - 1st pair, PP1 minutes.

It's not happening, with the Sabres or the Canucks.

Where does this happen? He also has no NTC/NMC.

Or maybe his agent said this on purpose, just to get out of the city safely.

I don't get it.

Afaic keep Dahlin, Power, and Byram.

Well, they need a player like that.

Who? Afaic?

Mike Rasmussen.

I'm curious what the offer is going to be. At least Rasmussen has grown his game from the era when he was considered a bust.

I suggested Samuelsson for Rasmussen on their board and they seemed to agree.
