Watching Eakin play here next season is horrifying.

Give me more prospects like JJ. He just has a knack for scoring in all situations, in the DEL, at World Championships etc.

If Powers and Beniers are gone, I'd go: Eklund, Guenther, Brandt, but either way...take the best upside player.

Barf. Because Jones with one year left, will sign here.

That's why I countered with Zegras, Comtois, Lacombe 1st and 2nd.

Zegras, Comtois, Lacombe, 1st, 2nd. Just throwing things out into space. That's a return I could live with. Some might prefer Drysdale over Comtois and I'm okay with that too.

A top center prospect, two good prospects, a serviceable roster player (not a cap dump), 1st in 2022 (preferred) and 2nd. That's my "hope". lol With Kevyn Adams at the helm: who knows.

I doubt it, if he was making the playoffs, then his main concern of "winning" would at least be pacified with the notion that we were a "semi contending team". Where his main issue, is that we haven't even scratched a "play in".

I don't mind Korpisalo being part "of the trade", possibly, but I don't really like a lot of what Columbus has for depth to be honest.

Sam is worth more than Merzlikens, in my opinion.

I'd do it, with a 2022 1st included instead of Gallagher. We can take on an expiring contract to cover $$. They won't want to give up their recently extended captain.

Boudreau with Granato as assistant HC. That's my dream.

My preference would be Beniers, Eklund, Guenther as well.

He's a physically elite player. That's literally what I meant 😄 He would provide the Sabres with something similar to Tuch who everyone loves, because he's a local boy. That being said, I want Zegras, Turcotte, Byfield over Zary or any Flames package.

This wouldn't happen, but I wonder if Eriksson plus something like Beagle could swap for Skinner. Two expiring contracts who are terrible, for one long term possible re-energized move. Plus, Benning was supposedly interested in him prior to him re-signing in Buffalo.

Beniers v Power, would have a lot dependent on the Eichel, Reinhart, Ristolainen and overall jettison of this roster. Would it not be safe to assume. If Eichel acquires a center prospect of the ilk that are (Zegras, Byfield, Turcotte, Zary or so on) would it not be more advantageous to draft Power in that case. That being said, this draft is so wide open, prospects like Guenther, Edvinsson, Eklund will have to be considered. If a second pick is acquired then you can spread things out more openly.

I agree, and I only went off the conjecture of the Athletic article. Stating that it was the best of the few offered. Overall, I would say the Flames would be a second tier destination of preference.

Zary, is a high end center prospect. So you get that to add into the mix. You add a physical elite player under 25. Their 1st will be near the top 10.

I find this a terrible return outside of Krebs. Tuch, is a fine forward, but at the same time this is very shallow. How much longer will Fleury be elite. He is 37 years old. I understand how solid he's been over his career, but this is a #1 center, and will easily be the best forward on their roster. Yes, even over Mark Stone. The first is basically a 2nd, and the 2nd is a third. Meh. This is a crap return.

I'm sadly not really much of a football fan. I love Hockey, Baseball, and Premier League Football. The closest would be Zary, Tkachuk and 1st. I wouldn't be opposed, but, the market will drive up the price. This is an ELITE player.

I hate the Pegulas. That's it.

Cough, I like him more than Quinn.

O'Reilly: a 1st, a 2nd, a good prospect and two run-of-the-mill NHLers - just want to verify this, and should be claimed as a mediocre prospect.

Time to change the mix in this room in such a big way.

I'd rather get a Turcotte style, two way player. Byfield has more boom and bust in his game, but I can understand the preference.
