It very well may end up that one team benefits way more, but my immediate reaction is that my overall feeling about the composition of our team today is exactly the same. Especially when you add the two signings even a non run back from Adams feels like a run back haha Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 7 Author Report Posted March 7 I wonder if Dallas would want Jokiharju with Heiskanen on IR. Or even Samuelsson. Quote

Why is Colorado supposed to let Rantanen in on any trade plans? Quote

DarthEbriate Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 The TSN Tradecentre Mission: Impossible intro spoof was cute. Good fun, production team. "You'll be on air for 12 hours with nothing to talk about..." Quote

DarthEbriate Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 Coyle to COL, Mitts to BOS, and more items to be figured out. Coyle fits for the bottom 6 playoff push. Is Mittelstadt the top 6 center that Boston has needed for 2 years to replace either Bergeron or Krejci? Quote
shrader Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 It's amazing how much Colorado has done this year. Quote

It was going to happen in Colorado… It did not he is just the same guy he was here most of the time. 1 Quote

Let's not bring Buffalo into this. I don't think very many teams would do as much as they have this year. I feel like only Toronto has done this level of in-season overhaul in recent years. But this one feels far less forced than what the Leafs did a few years back. Quote

Is Mittelstadt the top 6 center that Boston has needed for 2 years to replace either Bergeron or Krejci? I think on a team with cup aspirations, Mitts is a 3C who can occasionally move up a line. Krejci might be a reasonable analog. He isn't in Bergeron's league. Quote

If Adams traded for a player only to dump him a year later, we wouldn't be calling him competent. 1 Quote

I feel like only Toronto has done this level of in-season overhaul in recent years. But this one feels far less forced than what the Leafs did a few years back. My point being, serious hockey organizations...that know how to win...identify soft spots and move aggressively to fill them. The Sabres roster is largely one big soft spot because they are not serious about hockey. They implemented a rebuilding strategy centered around adding "skilled" forwards and puck moving defensemen with no consideration given to how the sum of the parts equal a good hockey team. 1 Quote
