Yeah, I guess I'm drafting out of straws. He would be individually better than any of the third line talents that we have. If the return isn't ludicrous you make a valid point.

I agree with all of these bullet points. I still think like you do above, that another top 4 defensemen should be added, whether youth or veteran. I also believe that another top six forward should be as well. I have mixed emotions here, I definitely see Hanzal as being a great addition, but Berglund doesn't make any sense. He's more or less a third line guy at best. I would love to acquire someone like Nielsen!

The Richards conundrum really doesn't make a lot of sense. If you've seen him play this year, he doesn't have the footing to pace and the ability to be a legitimate top six player any longer. Cannon, has put so much ice time on his body, and at best is a third line center on this team or any. Is Jagr going to come to Buffalo. I guess that depends on the $, and the understanding that he's here to help mentor. He has nothing to prove, gain or improve on his first ballot hall of fame bid, other than a Stanley cup and numbers. I love the Jagr idea and Oduya would be a nice addition.

+1, the game in most if not all facets are hard to stomach. 33 more games to get through.

No! Marner is extremely talented but it is not even close.

Exactly, can we start waiving these guys. Between Benoit, Strachan and Meszaros I don't know if you couldn't find a college hockey UFA ala Ruhwedel who couldn't do more with the opportunity.

There's devoted to the tank, and then this post. I just really want to see Pysyk for an extended amount of time. I'm really not solid on him.

More of the same, hold out for 2 solid periods and then fall asleep at the wheel in the third. Further down the rabbit hole, minus one game until Connor McDavid.

From a post on another website, I saw that Rinne might be skating with the team again.

I see MacTavish drafting one or the other between McEichel if he's in the top 2, regardless. Hanifen would be a bigger need for their team long term, but we all know that whoever gets McDavid, the other team will draft Eichel. Konecny regardless of his lack of size, is someone I would love to have at 25 or 27. The other position can vary between White, Bittner, Sprong and others.

Love it, good work guys.

+1. What will he really do for this team. He'd be an upgrade fourth line center over a healthy McCormick? If they cover 4.5M of his salary and take Hodgson, eh...maybe.

Pronman* tidbit on Top Prospects game: Not on McDavid, but one of my favorites in the 1st round. Travis Konecny, C, Ottawa-OHL Konecny was put on a line with Connor McDavid and while that will help make anyone look good, Konecny was creating in his own right. His multi-goal night aside, he looked like one of the best players on the ice, if not the best. He has great speed and work ethic, which helped him make plays in both ends, but he also possesses pretty good vision and was able to create plays for his line. He hasn't blown people away this season the way some may have hoped, but he showed his massive potential. In my opinion, even though I don't think he'll be picked in that range, he's a top-half-of-the-first-round prospect.

I totally forgot about Turris, I should have looked that one up.

Good stats based analysis thanks. I guess when I see him play, I see someone who has continued to develop, while not an elite player, someone who will put up or shut up every game. Moves the puck, plays above average defense and has the ability to play the second or third line all while at 23-24.

One can look at St Louis as an organization who is paying their current third line center 7M while only on the third line. That just has to do with their line depth with Lehtera really stepping in and exceeding all possible expectations. I would take O'Reilly for the Sabres and run, however it depends on the ability to retain him for multiple years.

Kane and Reimsdyk, in my opinion is the clear cut answer as posted above. Kane was the clear cut #1.

Realistic look at possibilities. Sole based on what we have in stock. Moulson - Ennis - Flynn Girgensons - 2015 1st - Gionta Foligno - Reinhart - Hodgson Deslauriers - McCormick - Mitchell Bench (Options): Ellis, Varone, Larsson, Grigorenko, Carrier Myers - Gorges Ristolainen - Zadorov Pysyk - Addition Bench: Weber, McCabe Neuvirth Veteran addition Gone: Chris Stewart Drew Stafford Pat Kaleta Zac Dalpe Tyson Strachan Andrej Meszaros Andre Benoit Jonas Enroth Matt Hackett Nick Petrecki Drew Bagnall It would be nice to add someone like O'Reilly to the mix who is in his prime. But, as Murray was recently quoted, he feels Myers is part of the solution and not the problem. So we'll see. It all depends on what happens in the next 6 weeks prior to the deadline. Something unusual no one saw coming will happen I bet. I can easily see another Fasching type move made.

Pretty much how I feel, except watching the games, are really hard. I like viewing the progress though at the lower levels more. 35 more games until this nightmare of a downhill spiral will be over. It would be nice to see Strachan sent down and Pysyk up for the rest of the season.

I would do that in a heart beat. Though I'm high on O'Reilly, the question really is will he be open to sign, unless he's 100% set on going to UFA. He has things that this team is missing and no offense to Grigorenko, he's got the ability now.

Konecny please and thank you. May you slip like the wind through other GM's fingers. Bittner looks like a good fits too.

Prayers are with you and your family. Good luck Cody.

I definitely agree, there are opportunities to move one, with Minnesota also being interested potentially. I cannot imagine him preferring Cam Ward and his contract to Enroth/Neuvirth.

Okay, well I was being lenient on Moulson, Ennis, and mainly Myers.

Please trade or waive the following: McCormick, Stafford, Stewart, Hodgson, Foligno, Meszaros, Strachan, Benoit. Listen to offers on: Neuvirth, Enroth, Pysyk. That is all.
