Tom Wilson response by the Rangers

So It looks like there was a search after all

What’s interesting is Justin White who was hired as video coordinator, was analytics coordinator for the Amerks

This might be the plan. Play Dell and Anderson for the majority of the season, then give UPL 25-30 games after the Olympic Break.

Boston Colorado or Buffalo?

He has made His Decision

Are they out on Eichel?

Raanta to the Canes on a one year deal

Ethan Bear to Carolina for Warren Foegele

They don’t, but they have the ability to go almost seven million over the cap for the next three seasons and Brisebois as you know is a master at that

That and the fact they did not have a player that’s a LTIR candidate

I wonder if 3 years 5 Million AAV gets it done

Or did Vegas clear space for Landeskog?

It’s free to read

If Eichel’s Trade Return does include players such as Rossi, Boldy or Addison, I would strongly consider placing as many young guys as possible in Rochester for at least 40-50 games to allow them to grow together. Granted it was different circumstances with the lock out, but the Miller, Pommers, Vanek Stint in Rochester helped Their Development.

Not on ice performance, but off ice shenanigans

The Voices of Gionta and Gorges were drowned out by Kane and Bogo unfortunately.

I’m hoping He’s the voice that said yes that’s a lot but it’s Jack Eichel an elite center

Here’s the part on Eichel from The Athletic The one player whose name comes up in discussion within the Wild offices throughout the weekend shouldn’t surprise anyone: Jack Eichel. It shouldn’t be a surprise because Buffalo has made it perfectly clear they are looking to move on from the No. 2 pick in 2015 and there are a handful of teams, including the Wild, that have an obvious need for an elite No. 1 center. Eichel is such a player and even with the significant cap issues created by the Suter and Parise buyouts, there is still dialogue internally about how or if acquiring Eichel works for the Wild. It’s called due diligence. One can only imagine similar conversations are going on around the league. No team is going to be able to make a deal for Eichel without contemplating a number of factors. First, the prospects and picks it would take to satisfy Buffalo will likely include any number of the team’s top prospects plus a handful of first-round picks down the road. Then there is the $10 million cap hit Eichel carries for the next five years. How do you address all those moving parts without throwing the team’s carefully laid plans to move forward into complete chaos? Or can you? The truth of the matter is there really isn’t a definitive answer. So Guerin and his staff keep looking at it from as many angles as they can. Friday morning those discussions become more earnest with Sells, O’Hearn, Shero, Sexton and Guerin blue-skying what works from their end. Guerin turns to a large glass board on another of the room’s walls and begins drawing up what a deal might look like and what kind of elements might need to come into play if they were to try and pry Eichel out of Buffalo. Eichel is determined to have neck surgery as opposed to rehabbing an injury that cost him half of last season and will likely miss the start of the coming season. The Sabreshave opposed the surgery option and the handling of the injury has led in some ways to the acrimony between Eichel and the Sabres. “How do we protect ourselves,” Sexton asks. Guerin calls the Wild’s team doctor to get input on the situation. The doctor in turn agrees to call a neck specialist to provide some more context. Later Guerin has a long chat with the specialist about his interpretation of the procedure that Eichel is angling toward having. The group looks at the glass board and the assets that could possibly go out the door. “It’s a lot,” someone in the group notes. But it’s Jack Eichel, a superstar center, another notes. It’s now mid-morning. The draft is about eight hours away. On that glass board is the outline of a deal that would change everything for Buffalo and Minnesota if it ever came to fruition. It won’t be the last time Eichel’s name comes up during the weekend.
