In my opinion V.Olofsson should play on Jacks right, we cant keep trying to help Mittlestadt, he need to figure his gameplay out. To me he has not proven him self worthy of 2nd line center, he is just not that good. We saw in the end of last season when Olofsson got to play with Jack, the chemistry is there already and it would be a waste to not use that. The lines that i personally would like to see in the start of this season is following: Jeff Skinner - Jack Eichle - Victor Olofsson Marcus Johansson - Sam Reinhart - Evan Rodrigues Jimmy Vesey - Casey Mittlestadt - Kyle Okposo Conor Sheary - Johan Larsson - Tage Thompson

What is all this disslike with Laine ? I mean, he is legit worth while in my opinion and that is because i really think you could work on him. Get him a good personal coach that can get his speed up and we have a truly legit weapon in him. Moneywise, i do not know. If we could afford him, fk yes for my part.

Interesting thread, well done @dudacek I went with Olofsson for sure, no wonder. Lets see if im right !

Can we all put up a fund for @Brawndo so he can buy a longer shovel to digg deeper ? thanks

That is some serious digging right there. Thank god for the swedish product Spotify!

It was for you to get some nice hairproducts so you can look nice during our dinner

Ofcourse my friend

@Brawndo Come on, news up!

Victor says hello ?

Tom, sorry if you mentioned this earlier. When do you need payment? Regards

Ohh i see, well its fine to be fair, in the end it is us this is about, sabres is just secondary.

Im down - are we looking at games in march once again? (i would love a game vs Toronto again)

kek

Risto, 1st and Nylander for M.M ? would that work? or sheet for 11 mil 3 yrs?

So do we.

What a dick

Hah, well for 2 mill per year yes ? He still hasnt played 1 minute of NHL which makes 8 million of capspace pretty darn much to be fair. Dont you think 4 is a bit to much? 1 year 4 mill maybe, 2 year no. But then he would become UFA i think, which would suck if he would to be as @jad1 said, Panarin Jr.

He wants 4 million per year Translated it states, ish, Gusev wants around 8M for 2 years, Vegas, consider, offers 4M (the ceiling presses even after unloading). Columbus, Detroit and San Jose should be thoughtful

Well there's the fact also that he's 27 and the team who owns his rights decide to cut ties with him. And that team is considered to be one of the better run franchises in the NHL, who probably is aware of Panarin. He is looking for 2 year 8 million contract, Vegas does not have that cap space first of all, second of all its always a risk and Vegas is only willing to pay half of what he wants and still they dont have cap space, they need to move even more pieces to make it happen, so i dont know where your going with your statement here other than id agree its a risk, everything is, more or less. And there's the fact that no NHL team showed enough interest in Gusev to even offer Vegas a 7th round pick for his rights. Well, his rights or not he is still looking for that salary and to be fair there are enough good players already in NHL to be traded for that can produce so i dont blame them, i dont know if Vegas has gotten any offers for him or not but that doesnt really matter, why would they want to give him away for a 7th pick? And there's also the fact that the KHL isn't considered a major feeder to the NHL (how many top ten KHL scorers make it to the NHL), so success in that league doesn't necessarily translate to success on the NHL. I actually have no clue about how many top 10 goal scores in KHL that has made the NHL, obviously you do so tell me, not that it really matters when were speaking of size here. You were using his size as your source for saying he wouldnt make it in NHL, you said and i quote " He's listed at 163lbs. He most likely doesn't have the skills to play in the NHL at that size. " obviously you are wrong in this statement, no matter how much players score or not in KHL before transmitting to NHL. We can agree on this i would assume (?) ? If i were a GM i wouldnt pay him 8 million for 2 years either to be fair unless i had capspace deluxe and already a good setup of players, looking at his production of points in khl, olympics, world championship etc states that he is skilled, that still doesnt confirm he would make it in NHL, Vegas also failed with Vadim Shipachyov that failed and moved back to Russia, his stats vere pretty good to.

Well all you do here is guessing, no offense, im speaking of facts that it is obviously no problem beeing small in NHL as long as u have skills and he obviously have skills, if we would go back a few years you would be here stating "nah, panarin is to small, he wont make it" wouldnt you(?) and obviously he did, big time. Nikita Gusev over last 3 regular seasons in KHL 173 games - 215 points International games, World Championship and Olympics, last 3 seasons 65 games - 92 points That is some impressive stats for sure and this guy is no joke, id say the chance for him making it in NHL is pretty high when speaking of facts.

Vladimir Tarasenko? Artemi Panarin? i dont follow .. what do you mean, that if youve not played a minute of NHL theres no way you will fit? I guess Artemi Panarin doesnt either than, beeing listed at 168 lbs.. or ? i dont know, what do you think? ?

We dont know, we can only speculate. Its sad that he went to Wilds though, he is a very good player.
