Iron Crotch Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Looks like Hutton is coming. Â I'm going to leave this one for Ink. Â Â ;) ...as long as the term and dollars are right, I can be okay with Hutton. 2-3 years at a reasonable salary, hopefully. Quote
Robviously Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Looks like Hutton is coming.Just want to know the length of the contract. Quote
pi2000 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 pi he isn't playing with a current brain injury, he just got worse after it, possibly in part because of it, while being completely healthy. You can't LTIR that as much as either of us would like to never see him again  I disagree.  It's the same thing as coming back from an ACL injury.  The ACL can be healed and 100% heatlhy, but you're nowhere near close to playing because you leg is weak.  It's the same with brain related injuries... you may be symptom free, but it doesn't mean you're ready for live combat.   Last season, Okposo clearly was not back to 100%.  Quote
Thorner Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 As Flagg said, you follow it up by trading Risto for forward help.  But then we'd need to find another Dman to play on the right. Quote
PerreaultForever Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 One way to end the dismantling is to not trade your #1 center minutes and role-wise.  Just sayin'. Unless it's the final step.  Just don't think you can "change the culture" while keeping this scenario going. No way is ROR in the long term plan, so it's best to end it all now and then it's JBot's team to make or break. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Maybe you missed the first contingency, which was trading O'Reilly for Colton Parayko. That'd give us two defensemen better than Risto assuming Dahlin lives up to the hype. But by trading O'Reilly we'd have a hole at 2nd line center (Mittlestadt probably isn't ready for that just yet as a rookie). Risto would have a ton of value as a tradeable asset and could bring us back a better scoring forward than just about any other player on our roster. The logic is you have to give up something good to get something good. It's not that Risto is terrible, it's just that he could bring a good return.That's the idea, innit? Did I wrongly use "innit" by correctly using "innit?" Quote
Brawndo Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Posted June 29, 2018 Still feeling like St Louis is the front-runner, Montreal in it, and then, maybe we hear about another team kicking tires. Â Per Jeremy White Quote
Derrico Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Still feeling like St Louis is the front-runner, Montreal in it, and then, maybe we hear about another team kicking tires. Â Per Jeremy White I thought the deal was already in place Jeremy? Quote
inkman Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Still feeling like St Louis is the front-runner, Montreal in it, and then, maybe we hear about another team kicking tires. Â Per Jeremy White Montreal would have to trade us every good asset they have save Carey Price to make this deal. It would be essentially a tank move because they'd have ROR and no one. Quote
Taro T Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Montreal would have to trade us every good asset they have save Carey Price to make this deal. It would be essentially a tank move because they'd have ROR and no one. At least we'd know that the next time he drives his truck into a Tim Horton's it'll have been intentional. ;) Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Montreal's top 3 scorers last season were 1) Gallagher, RW, with 31g and 23a (age 26) 3 years at 3.75 2) Galchenyuk (traded) 19g 32a 3) Drouin, LW, 13g 33a (age 23) - Contract 5 years at 5.5  If we have to trade ROR for locker room and other issues what about Drouin coming back?  With Drouin & Sheary, we'd go from lousy to deep on LW Drouin Sheary ERod Wilson  RW Reinhart ???? Okposo Pominville  Center Eichel Bozak/Stastny Mittelstadt Girgensons/Larsson/O'Regan Quote

Okposo Pominville  Center Eichel Bozak/Stastny Mittelstadt Girgensons/Larsson/O'Regan If they send the Sabres Drouin, they're hurting their (and their perception's alone) C depth. The Sabres should toss in Nylander as well to let them net 1 C (;)) and they can add in Gallagher.  So, a non-lottery protected 2019 #1, Drouin, & Gallagher for O'Reilly & Nylander. Should sound fair to Bergeron, right? :lol: Quote

LGR4GM Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Glachenyuk is not a Montreal Canadian. So they have Gallagher and Drouin. Why trade drouin after literally just getting him 1 year ago. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Glachenyuk is not a Montreal Canadian. So they have Gallagher and Drouin. Why trade drouin after literally just getting him 1 year ago. Because Bergevin Quote
Taro T Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 LOL. We'll throw in Girgensons as well. Can even play nice w/ Bergevin and only ask for his 2020 2nd rounder for that piece. ;)    Glachenyuk is not a Montreal Canadian. So they have Gallagher and Drouin.Why trade drouin after literally just getting him 1 year ago.   Why?  Because Bergevin This. ^ Quote
Brawndo Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Posted June 29, 2018 David Pagnotta  Some trade activity picking up recently out of Ottawa, it appears. Chatter on Karlsson/Ryan package deal getting a bit stronger. Should be an interesting 24-48 hours ahead. Should note, Ryan has a $2M bonus due July 1. We’ll see.  Dorion devalues his biggest trade asset... Quote

Derrico Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Any interest from us? I guess an extension for karlsson would have to be in place which couldn't happen before July 1. Quote
Hoss Posted June 30, 2018 Report Posted June 30, 2018 So when is something interesting going to happen? Quote
