If you're taking Guenther 1st overall, trade down. Trade down to 3, get a 3rd round pick. It has to be Beniers, Power or Eklund for me at #1. Those are the only options here. Guenther is really solid, and could easily have a Farabee type leap in two seasons or so. But, for me, he's still just on the outside of #1. Am I wrong, maybe.

I would say, that Sam Reinhart, given his RFA status, should be able to net a 1st round pick in the 6-10 range on his own plus a palatable asset. So for me, that's an easy yes. Depending on the teams need, a team like New Jersey could offer a high second, and a decent B level prospect for Ristolainen. Eichel, for me, is pay up, or we move on. Reinhart to LA for #8 overall, Jarret Anderson Dolan and Samuel Fagemo or Tobias Bjornfot? Ristolainen to NJ for their 2022 2nd, and Miles Wood, or Pavel Zacha? This might be closer to Jesper Boqvist, but I am not sure what Rasmus is truly worth. Colin Miller, for a 3rd in any year.

If he's looking for money as the biggest factor, and he's willing to talk, then I'd be game. If you're moving on from Ritolainen, Reinhart and Eichel in one offseason you're looking at roughly 21.5 to 25.5 million coming off the books. Hamilton has never slowed down for the majority of his career. If anything he's only gotten better, as he's matured. This is the rare case, where we'll need a calm veteran presence in the room.

If you trade down, sure. The same with Eklund, who I think is just as skilled.

I still want Beniers over him, I would be okay with Power. This team needs so much it's not even funny.

Taylor Hall, played like a gutless player in Buffalo. I was so happy when we got rid of him for anything. Stay in Boston.

Eichel, leaving is a foregone conclusion at this point. Love the player, done with the drama. I don't blame him for how he feels in the situation, but personally at this point, we need to build something fresh with new players. Players 7-8 years in this toxic situation aren't going to want to be here anymore.

Meh. Doubt it.

I agree, make it happen.

I agree, but he's a glorified puppet. His thanking the Pegula's in his reaction to winning the lottery disgusted me. He's a "yes man" and I cannot wait until the day the Pegulas and he are OUT.

I like him a lot, I'd love to acquire picks if we move Eichel and get him somehow, but with KA in charge, we won't. We have the WORST GENERAL MANAGER in the history of the organization. A pacified yes man, who quoted the Pegula's as a gift to them. What a joke.

I'd be interested in Gronberg for an outside of the box coach. He's actually coaching ulike Kruger was!

This is the least appealing package of them all. I don't want Laine, and personally Jones is not going to extend. Merzlikins is, an upgrade, but this is a terrible return. No center coming back, pass EASILY.

I like him if we move down. I only like Beniers or Power at #1.

Very valid point. I don't really mind Power at all, however he's really good at quite a few things.

Absolutely, I want Beniers to be honest. What they would take off of us? Skinner would have to waive his NMC.

I like Seattle's Roster right now more than ours. 0 Roster Players, 1 Prospect: Luke Henman!

Good! Buh bye!

Tocchet, is not the answer. I hope he takes Seattle or the Rangers. I want BOUDREAU!

At least the Sabres have never lost to a 42 year old Zamboni driver. 😄

Barf. God, this was a SECOND ROUND PICK. This is why I'm pissed at this time. Inferior drafting and with the Pegula's in charge, it won't change. They are imbeciles, who want people who will "listen to them". Go to counseling Terry.

Watching it is pointless. If we win it great, if not, okay. One of Beniers, Power, or Brandt helps this team immensely. So I'm fine with any of them.

NO. JUST NO. I don't care what the package is, unless they're sending Auston Matthews.

Being "part" of the trade, doesn't mean straight up. The only type of goalie I'd trade him straight up for is someone like Gibson. lol
