WildCard Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 What I'm trying to say is that 2 years is pretty big when the players are in the decline portion of their careers.I agree with that. Quote
Taro T Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Grubauer was traded to the Avs last week. :doh: Yep. It's been a long friggin' week. Totally forgot that. :beer: Quote

LTS Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Maybe just driving up the value of other UFAs so you can prey on those weakened by stupid cap signings? :) It's today... and I need to sleep... so I can be ready for all that transpires.. later today. Quote

Mentor role https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/k/kunitch01.html Appeared in 178 playoff games and four Stanley cups. Won 2. Bots knows him like the back of his hand. Fourth line LW. Gritty. Can still score points. Mentor role I also see them going after David Perron or Pat Maroon. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed interest in Scotty Hartnell. Character guy.

PS if no Thomas probably no OReilly... screw taking on Sabotka unless both Thomas, Kyro and a first come here Quote

Those comments on his play had me raising an eyebrow. Quote
sabresouth Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 I feel like st.louis knows a different ROR then we do. Those comments on his play had me raising an eyebrow. I've never been on the trade ROR train. I think a winning team will cure his problems. If this article is right he played the third hardest minutes and was still our second highest point getter. Above that I don't think people appreciate his face off wins. Does anyone have any stats on goals we scored after he won a face off? I know this is impossible but how many goals against were saved. I know we didn't score many but Imagine if we had a good team how many more goals we might score. We will be good this year. Now if we trade ROR and replace him with someone with a lower face off percentage we lose those goals as well. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 We might have scored 2 goals of ROR faceoff wins. We might have had 2 goals scored against on faceoff losses. Impo, faceoffs are overrated. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 After Randall big long post about click bait I'm also a believer. Don't care who it is, I think they all want to be in the know and click bait. I'll believe what happens if and when it happens and not giving these 'insider's anything.All's I'm saying is, most the rumors don't happen, the only ones that did were obvious and still wrong (see Dreger on Kane) and everything we have done (Scandella,Sheary,Wilson etc) was predicted by NOBoDY and first made aware of as the ink was drying. :P Quote

Brawndo Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Posted July 1, 2018 Many have asked what I know about #stlblues & Ryan O'Reilly. I've stayed away from commenting b/c I've received conflicting reports. Was told that Blues obviously didn't want to pay $7.5 million roster bonus due & have been prepared to offer bigger package #Sabres will now want. From Lou Korac who covers the Blues for NHL.com Quote

Sabel79 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) The Sabres have 24 hours to pay the bonus which started at midnight, so anytime once that is paidFairly sure I saw Wawrow tweet that they've paid it.
