  1. So they trade their 24 year old promising Right Hand D? I know some of those old guys are close to untradeable right now but I wouldn't be thrilled as a Ducks fan.
  2. But he's 24. Still young, has term left and RFA thereafter. It's similar to if we traded Risto during one of our tanking season. Still doesn't make a ton of sense for them unless they are worried about how much they will pay Montour after next season or are in love with Guhle.
  3. Yep this. I know we need forwards but we finally have a good looking D on paper. I think this move helps Risto as he was the only legit top 4 Right Hand D on the roster. Now we can play Risto 21 minutes per game vs the 24 he has historically got.
  4. Time will tell. Really like your point about committing to Housley hockey. This seems like the type of d Phil wants.
  5. Oh ya, very much agreed. No idea how it plays out. Just interesting reading other fans reactions around the league. Nice to read many others thinking jbot did well. Time will tell. Yep. Toss Pilut with Bogo on the bottom pair and that might be the best d we’ve had in years (on paper).
  6. Our version of 05-08 Brian Campbell?
  7. It’s HF I know but on the main boards it’s looking like near unanimous win for Buffalo in terms of fan reaction.
  8. Sounds like his zone entries and exits are very good. Like fith in the NHL good for zone entries from d. We have jack who is amazing at entries and Dahlin is decent. Nice to add someone else. Would start him immediately on PP 2.
  9. That’s fair. But this is a guy leaf fans were drooling over so seeing them pissed off is a nice bonus to all of this ?
  10. He’s 24 so the age is perfect for this team. Love that he’s a righty as we are weak on that side. Good, rfa contract is nice too. His numbers at every level below nhl were always terrific. Points haven’t translate to the nhl yet but decent numbers nonetheless.
  11. More or less likely Risto is moved after Montour trade?
  12. Guhle experiment over eh? That’s disappointing.
  13. I thought he was getting more minutes with the ducks? Looks like just an ok year so maybe ask won’t be crazy high?
  14. Ummmm yes please. What would the cost be though? Wonder if it went down if it’s more or less likely Risto were to move. or, of course, nothing may happen.
  15. Cirelli scored the ot winner for my gens in the memorial cup final in 2015. I have many fawn memories of some big time clutch goals. Would love for him to become a sabre. He's put up some decent stats in basically his rookie season as well. No way he would be a centre piece but I would love him to be included. Don't know much about Foote. Adams son?
  16. Don’t worry, he always atleast buys a drink first ?
  17. If I was feeling better I would join you. Right now I’m aiming to get there for a game in mid March. Sucks missing it. Enjoy the day everyone.
  18. I think I'll take a rich man's Eichel and a poor man's Eichel please. We need talent damn it! But the cap issue would be concerning. Also this is the first I heard of him being soft. If so, then I would be out.
  19. Yep I’m with you on this. Another year pissed down the drain.
  20. Now I know this place is in meltdown mode. Dahlin play is one of the only bright spots in this whole season imo. On many nights he's the teams best dman and does things no d on either team can do. At 18 years old in the best league in the world and playing his first year in North America. I have no idea what some people were expecting if they don't think he has at minimum lived up to expectations.
  21. I’m sure jbot knows what’s up. What if skinner wants $11 mil per? Is that on the organization if they don’t sign him? Salary cap era. I want him signed badly and for the right price we can but with jack making $10, Reinhart due for a big raise after next year and Dahlin (possibly mitts if he makes the jump over next two years) the year after you can’t completely break the bank here. I think something gets done but it’s not incompetent of management he isn’t yet signed if he’s looking at north of $10 mil and the blame can’t be thrown at the sabres under this scenario imo.
  22. Nice to see Larsson back at practice playing on a regular line.
  23. Sign me up for this please.
  24. Just saw this. Wow what an interesting deal. Looks like the leafs have a 6 year window. I donno if I like this deal or not. This frees up a couple mil per season over the next 5 years but obviously creates some problems for them once the 5 year extension ends. Tavares probably has 5 years of high end production left as well. They're going for it and in a salary cap era you can't blame them. Let's just hope they don't win this year or next five. I think after that they could be in some trouble. This certainly opens up a stronger possibility Matthews does not retire a leaf but also increase the odds they win a cup over the next few years.
  25. Man, I wish they would swap pommers and Reinhart. That would be a very interesting looking second line.
