Bettman saying he isn't keen on going into the summer as fans like watching over autumn, winter And spring. It's that actually true?

Thought it might be useful to post info/rumors on the structure of next season. https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Rumor-from-Two-Sources--NHL-Considering-Double-Headers-Early-Next-Season/1/107487 Speculation here of a December start and the inclusion of doubleheaders (in this case 2 games with the same teams playing, on the same day).

how does the weird season affect trades? Is it open season for any teams not left in SC?

Would Dadonov be worth a punt for a year. Seems to be a bonefide scorer. Elite has him down as lw or rw but shoot L though.

Oooo, interesting

Oof. Phil Kessel in buffalo? Probably not. https://www.nhltraderumors.me/2020/09/arizona-rejects-latest-trade-offer-from.html?m=1#more

Do do I or I need to get a new nameplate and number for my 50th jersey!! Plus Vic's a quality goalscorer. The real pain the arse contract this offseason is still the boat anchor that is Kyke Okposo's. In an era where we're talking reduced cap him taking up ~15% is maddening. (I also don't feel any anger/frustration towards Kyle fwiw. Fair play to him and his agent).

It would be a pegula move to sign a $5m player that you only need to pay $1M

You've got to think sabres are on his mntc though. Eh?

Here's hoping he can swing Hutton for a cheaper, better alternative!

Would a line of Skinner-Staal-Cozens be viable?

This is the deciding factor for me. If casey comes back and is a step behind harder working peers then I think its game over for him and perhaps a move will give him the kick up the arse he needs.

Team giraffe.

Def. Would that give us more offer sheet potential too?

Okposo, mittelstadt, montours rights? Any of those would be great. Not realistic I understand.

Olofsson (x2) and Ullmark to head play in Sweden for a bit before returning. Good thing? Or accident waiting to happen? https://buffalonews.com/sports/sabres/sabres-linus-ullmark-olofsson-brothers-reportedly-could-be-loaned-to-swedish-team/article_768cda70-ec97-11ea-80ac-938d92f9bd35.html

Skinner-Eichel-????? Olofsson-Domi-Reinhart I'm 100% on board with that. Provided questionmarks is good!

Personally I'm rooting for the Avs. Maybe because I have a SC bet on them!

TSN talking 8mil per Yr for 7 for Pietrangelo. Thats a no from me.

Brad May's interview on Chiclets about Hawerchuk is worth a listen.

From this presser

I get the feeling that getting an answer to this would involve a setup like Tom Cruise V Jack Nicholson in "few good men".
