WildCard Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 Defensive defenseman if ever there were one. In two seasons the guy, at 27, has a whopping 15 points, total. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 I'd be interested in adding Calvin De Haan and then flipping McCabe for forward depth. Quote
Formerly Allan in MD Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 Smith-Pelly of the Caps became an UFA today, which is strange. He plays hard every shift and was one of their most valuable players in the playoffs. He'll come relatively cheap and would be a great third or fourth liner. We should take a hard look. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 He'd have to come cheap. He's not that good. Quote
thewookie1 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Any idea where we can send Beaulieu? Quote
WildCard Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Apparently Statsny is a pretty hot commodity right now. Makes sense for teams that are out on Tavares and don't wanna pay for O'Reilly Montreal is one of the teams to reportedly offer him something https://twitter.com/GinoRedaTSN/status/1011381818887634944 Quote

But I'm Montreal so... 7 years 9mil it is! Quote

dudacek Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 If the Sabres are in the Neiderreiter/Coyle/Zucker are available if you take Ennis market, it will probably happen this week. The Athletic is reporting the deadline for an Ennis buyout is Saturday. It had reported earlier that new GM Fenton wants to change the makeup of a stale group and the Sabres are one of several teams talking to the Wild. It is also reporting Staal, Spurgeon and Dubnyk have been asked to submit their no-trade lists. We could take Ennis and the first three certainly would help our lineup. I’m intrigued. Quote

Yeah, I'd have no problem with that. I don't even hate Ennis, even if he's being overpaid for now. We're so dead on wingers he might actually be a net positive. Quote

We're so dead on wingers he might actually be a net positive. Yup. I'll take Ennis back if it means we can upgrade somewhere else. He'll spend half the season on IR anyway. Quote
dudacek Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Yup. I'll take Ennis back if it means we can upgrade somewhere else. He'll spend half the season on IR anyway. Pretty sure he’d be bought out. He’s not an NHL player any more. Sad. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Pretty sure he’d be bought out. He’s not an NHL player any more. Sad. Yep, he wasn't an NHL player with us on a bad team, and didn't succeed with a chance on a good team, as they're now looking to dump him. And yes, I'd absolutely take him to reduce value on any of 5-6 Wild players that I'd like. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Pretty sure he’d be bought out. He’s not an NHL player any more. Sad. He was a 40 point, 20 goal guy his first few years in the league. But, he got a fair number of those points on the power play and has never been a great 5-on-5 guy (presumably due to his size). His shooting percentage the past 3 seasons was just abysmal. I wonder if the wear and tear on his body just caught up to him? I agree that he may be done at this point, but he'll get one more shot somewhere I think... but not at a $4.6 million cap hit. Quote

tom webster Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 This. Hence I referred to him as Tyler Afinogennis And one of Darcy’s Biggest Self Admitted mistakes drafting Ennis instead of John Carlson because he had already drafted Myers Quote
sweetlou Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Looking at teams meeting with Tavares, who would be available if they were to sign him. Tampa- look for Killorn, Johnson, Palat, and J.T. Miller to be on blocks to free up cap space. San Jose- Could move Hertl instead of resigning him Quote

Brawndo Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Posted June 26, 2018 https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/canadiens-bergevin-came-close-hitting-marks-draft-weekend/ The trade that almost was. Apparently Pacioretty was going to the Islanders for either 11 or 12, with that pick going to Buffalo along with at least one of Montreal’s 2nd in a package for ROR Quote

Apparently Pacioretty was going to the Islanders for either 11 or 12, with that pick going to Buffalo along with at least one of Montreal’s 2nd in a package for ROR Well, if that's the market for RoR, keep him. The only thing that could semi-salvage this for me would be if Botterill really did just love Wahlstrome that much Quote

WildCard Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Him dropping killed the deal We're in for such a longer rebuild of Botterill was about to make that trade. I have a strong feeling he's looking at Dahlin and his 2nd year here as the start to the rebuild, while the rest of us were really hoping this was the end of it Quote
Samson's Flow Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Well, if that's the market for RoR, ###### keep him. The only thing that could semi-salvage this for me would be if Botterill really did just love Wahlstrome that much Exactly. I would be apoplectic if all we got for ROR was the #10 pick in the draft and some mid round dart throws. The #10 could turn out to be a good player (i.e. Risto), but we have to wait 3 years for that and it's not a guarantee that it's not closer to a Zemgus level player. Quote
Brawndo Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Posted June 26, 2018 More from LeBrun LeBrun: Canadiens "are still in on Ryan O'Reilly. So are the St. Louis Blues, among other teams. St. Louis and Montreal in particular have continued this week to keep in touch with Buffalo on Ryan O'Reilly." #Sabres #Habs #stlblues 1040 Quote
