The Poltapov cocktail! Start printing the shirts.

You may be right, if so, it will probably be a pretty significant return.

That's currently the most valuable pick in this years draft, hard to see trading that along with a top forward like Sam.

Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun · 53s Confirming @FriedgeHNIC ’s report that Sam Reinhart is being traded to the Florida Panthers.

Sundin, Backstrom, Alfredson, Nylander, Filip Forsberg... Rasmus Dahlin

right now we have nothing, so we need to find a lot.

We can't go into next season with Tokarski as our backup. We need to massively upgrade

I thought those deals included the first round pick... I know a lot of rumors were out there.

with the Rangers pick now, does this mean all the rumors of the potential Eichel/Reinhart deals were wrong? I don't recall any that didn't include a high draft pick this year.

with which team?

Ullmark signs right after the Ertz trade.

but hardly because of Eichel.

because we are a horrible franchise. The worst in the league by far.

Who will our leading scorer be?

Didn't you already ask that?

Jesus, imagine trading Eichel and Rienhart and going into the season with Blutarski as our #1.

Skinner had a very solid career going until he came across a coach that didn't care for his style of play or whatever reason Ralph didn't like him. It wouldn't be a shock for him to become a 25 goal scorer again, but unfortunately, he won't have Jack to help him.

what are the odds to something like that ever happening?

I don't care much one way or the other regarding Okposo, but at this point, his contract is no longer a problem for the team, so if he's a positive no reason not to keep him.

I think the only circumstance that he's not traded is that Adams made it clear that he won't trade him unless he gets what he wants, that he won't settle for less to just make the trade happen.

He's definitely gone. If he wasn't going to get traded, KA and Granato would have been very clear that they're looking forward to Eichel on the team for years to come. They don't even mention his name anymore. I think it will suck that he's traded, but it would be the most surprising thing if he wasn't.

Yep, it's not like people on here are shy to share their opinion about anything, myself included. I hate the idea of it, but I think he'll be traded by the end of the first round of the draft.

and a no movement clause.

Isn't getting into game shape, basically being able to play the game, part of the injury rehab process? What good is he if he can't play more than 8 minutes a game? Look at a pitcher coming off Tommy John surgery. The arm is healed many months before he is ready to perform in a game. He needs to be capable of playing well and not re-injuring himself. What have we done to deserve it that Tampa hasn't?

When Kucherov was injured the timetable to return was around the end of the regular season. He was on schedule, normal rehab is 5 months for hip surgery, he was out 5 months. It's not cheating if you follow the rules, which they did.,
