It definitely doesn't help us. Unless some team feels like they're gonna miss out and caves to Adams demand.

I imagine they've all know for months and their patience is at an end

Something very funny about the brutal honesty of that statement.

Mitts panning out for us would be a huge win. Him and Dahlin are the two guys I'm focused on the most next season to make a big step.

And what was their success rate, taking away Reinhart-Eichel-Dahlin? That's 22 other picks, maybe 4-5 of them 'hit'?

I'm still confused on how. He's a much better player than what he returned. Was it the RFA status?

Drawing comparisons is not the same thing as being a better prospect. They're similar for the exemption status and stats. Two teams literally intentionally lost games to get a crack at McDavid. Idk, maybe I'm wrong, but McDavid is on another planet as far as prospects went.

Links?

Lmao I can't buy that for a second

None of those teams tanked, they just sucked. The last teams to tank in this century were us, the Coyotes, and the Leafs.

@LGR4GM there's just no way this is true. It's recency bias.

Man, are you really going to argue with this board about the merits of a tank, right as we just sold/are selling everything the last tank gave us?

Nobody is at McDavids level. The hype around him was the highest since Lindros and it's the highest still

These three are not better than McDavid/Eichel were.

We just did this and are now trading him.

Oh wow

Involving three? As in, pieces?

Jake Virtanen bought out, Ovechkin will receive an extension - LeBrun Man, what happened to Virtanen? Feel like he was a big deal when he came onto the scene

Why did the Seth Jones trade help the Sabres?

Power may be a lot of things, but he's 100% not a risky pick.

Drafted all wingers and have Mitts and Cozens in the cupboard for centers. Eichel NEEDS to fetch a top tier center prospect

Been thinking this since yesterday. While I don't think it's a tank, it feels oh so similar to when we did tank. Everything is right there just like last time

Good thing those aren't important...

I meant he got a great return and he needed an extension

Yeah
