No on Okposo. Versteeg for a year, and Vesey.

I don't want McGinn back unless its a 3 year 3M per. He's going to get overpaid by someone else hopefully.

Personally take what comes to you, don't overextend your hand. I would wait and see what there is to offer up for, and unless you get someone at the right fit, don't just overpay to overpay. Getting Ristolainen done is the most important thing at this venture.

I really don't see why people are that upset about Stamkos, he didn't make it to open market, so nothing to get that absurdly upset about. I don't really love Okposo that much and overpaying him would be a mistake. I'd rather go after Boedker who doesn't make much sense either.

Getting Ristolainen done, and then looking at someone for the top six.

It does not look legitimate, IMO.

Now can we trade Franson for a sixth round pick :D

It's what they needed to do. The only way I'm sure Larsson was traded was for Hall. Eberle and RNH weren't going to cut it, though RNH is more a fit for what they need long term.

I'm glad that he stayed in Tampa Bay. It allows the Sabres to grow their players their way. Stamkos would have been an amazing fit on any new team, but he probably just saw nothing to grant him the desire to leave a team set for the playoffs for at least next season (in general). This hamstrings Detroit the most.

And here's the Sabres attitude that is still sitting in the pre-Reinhart closet. Really Callaway? LOL, I'm sure Stamkos is considering any team willing to offer him north of 10+ per season. If he wants to go elsewhere for 11-13M, I truly won't be phased.

I can see why Trouba is someone they would target, he plays a phsyical game with offensive upside. Sort of the direct opposite of Hamilton, who is more of an offensive D with size.

Two second round picks for someone who wasn't even good enough to play in the top six, and now non-tendered. Unless they're trying to reduce his $$ to re-sign him by Friday, this is a terrible move. But, hey, Frederic was a reach at 29, continues to prove the point: Neely shouldn't be the president of an NHL franchise and Sweeney is off his rocker.

Asplund is good in the face-off circle and he has a knack to step into the play very well. I was utterly thrilled when at #33 his name was called. Best pick in ages in the second round.

He's worth a prove-me contract, but where are you slotting him?

Oh Zaddy, focus on your game or lack there of, as you currently aren't on an NHL roster. Shut your ****ing mouth and play hockey. This is your problem. Love your size and shot, but seriously you are an idiot.

Who cares? He hasn't been quality since he was a Batallion.

Merrill would be an interesting guy if he's not truly retained.

Good for Corey.

Meh, I'd rather use a scrawny 19 year old Guhle. This I could see, definitely some interesting names non-tendered for sure.

Colbourne, really. That's interesting.

All of them make sense, though Foligno needs to get off his ass and play much more consistently to be worth 2.5. Trade him to CLB, for something.

That is the best thing I've ever heard. TY True, you just made my day.

I wouldn't sign Rozsival. He's old and slow. Irwin could be an interesting minor add.

That's what it is speculation. But Friday will be a fun day for sure.

Borgen seems a tad bit low, but the rest seems fair.
