 I think he has very good skill but he has a screw loose and I don't want him representing Buffalo hes a dick and a headhunter 

Give me all the Tom Wilson. Because he has a screw loose and is a dick.

I wouldn't mind a nice trade, but staying the course might be best.   Deadline is a bit too crazy this year lol , some teams might regret this one.

Well that was.....kinda Quick?

[DarthEbriate]

Quick comes off the bench with the VGK trailing LAK in game 2 of the series. Already down 1-0 in the series and trailing 3-0 after one in game 2....  can Quick exact vengeance on his old team? Could be a fun playoff.

How many 1st and 2nd round picks does VGK give up for a backup goalie?

Eichel and a 1st in 2023.  😉

I'm guessing a goalie, just so much smoke around net minding. I'm going to take a stab at it. With Nashville selling, I'm guessing Saros, who only has 3 seasons left on his deal, doesn't make sense for him to stick around while the Preds develop their freshly acquired draft picks. Probably a defenseman coming in the package as well, I'll say RHD, either Fabbro or Carrier.

Just don’t get your sights set too high.

Gibson would be far more likely, and far less likely to get people excited.

I think a goalie upgrade is the biggest need and such an obvious step we haven’t talked about it much.

It also has the potential to give us the biggest boost.

You want a left-field prediction: Casey Mittelstadt for Thatcher Demko.

In the summer or now?

There's no chance Boston is trading Swayman before the summer. Swayman can win them a cup if something happens to Ullmark. It would be astronomically stupid for them to let him go when they're all in already for this year.

And IF a legit goalie add is in the works, could see why Adams wouldn't want this year's 1st included in a package for Chychrun.  Would much rather have Saros than Chychrun even though the overall cost would be (significantly) higher.

What would someone like Saros cost us?

Not the guy that makes proposed deals, but would expect it would be 2 1st and a Rosen type prospect at minimum.

This is the million dollar question. I'd assume a 1st + prospect like Rosen (former 1st or equivalent) is the start.

No way.

If it follows the Nashville Jeannot trade:  2024 1st, 2025 2nd, 2026 3rd, 2027 4th, 2028 5th, 2029 1st, etc.

Just Saros? I'd say Comrie or UPL, conditional 2023 protected 1st, Rosen or Kisakov, and a 3rd.   I was drafting up a goalie instead of the other 1st.

I want an extra 4 back for Casey's couch.

I'd be asking for Fabbro as well on this offer if they want UPL over Comrie.

Was it even necessary Boston? I mean honestly, was it?

Yes. Hall on LTIR and Foligno on IR. Actual injuries too, not salary cap shenanigans. Someone like Bertuzzi became necessary given all the moves from Toronto and Tampa with those 2 out long term. 

I'm just amazed at how fast Yzerman pivots. Whether he makes the right moves or wrong ones (time will tell) the guy is definitely on the job and working hard.

Looking at Capfriendly, the Sabres have the lowest cap number in the league.
