I’m a big proponent of the cap being fake but in the world most teams operate it’s not a great situation for the player or team. If I were Minnesota I’d still do it because you’re not going to contend with what you’ve got anyways and guys like Jack aren’t available often. BUT in reality it isn’t a good fit. 1

I think Guerin is actually concerned about Kaprizov bolting, and if he isn’t able to prevent that, he is immediately on the hot seat.

He's certainly a real piece of work but he does a good job.

I don't have an exact example but I remember for a fact he beat Dreger and Friedman on a few of the trades and UFAs last year. 1

dudacek Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Both Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi would be a helluvalot better than what we’ve heard previously. Boldy doesn’t get talked up much, but he’s a damn good prospect. 3

Flashsabre Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Guerin doesn’t strike me as a “we better be very cautious with the cap situation” type of guy. He is more the “I’m going all in on what I want and we will figure that stuff out later. I think Eichel to Minny for Rossi, Boldy,++ would be the best return unless Anaheim sweeps in at the last second with both Zegras and 3OA on the table. Just not to NYR for a collection of mediocre stuff. 1

Wayne Gretzky?

Not sure how people can get excited about trading the franchise's best scorer in 15 years. Besides, he's not the only one who wants out nor will be the only one dealt. It's nearing or equal to the day Drury and Briere left. 19 minutes ago, dudacek said: Both Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi would be a helluvalot better than what we’ve heard previously.

Minny would need to ship a few million back from somebody (Dumba? Sturm?) in order to make the cap work better for them and that's where I get worried cuz I doubt they'll want to move big cap hits AND two prospects AND draft capital..when in reality I value the last two more. Then I start to get RoR package flashbacks and I'm all the sad 1
willismcthrillis Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Even Wayne Gretzky started his career with zero games played, ya know... If the Sabres do their due diligence and like what they find, then you go for it. Tho getting both would be nice to kinda hedge against one another, I admit

Getting a little silly but connecting some dots. Seattle has reportedly been hot after Ryan Strome. So ... Seattle gets: Ryan Strome, Rasmus Ristolainen, #15 overall Rangers get: Jack Eichel, 2021 2nd (BOS) Sabres get: #2 overall, Nils Lundqvist, Pavel Buchnevich, Filip Chytil, Jared McCann Seattle retains some salary on Jack in this deal. Problem with this deal is it’s too complicated for draft day. Seattle would need extensions with Strome and Risto otherwise they risk everything on one year deals. Strome's value should be relatively high if you can get an extension done. His last two seasons pace out at 21-49-70 per 82 games. Edited July 23, 2021 by Hoss 1
