Description

I’m watching a Broken team. They have to make a shake up. This trade opens a lot of cap space for MIN to go after Matt Duchene, who IMO would be a great fit in MIN.

No. Brodin is no better than McCabe this year. Makes no sense to trade Nylander before we even see what he can do. Borgen is our future shut down D. Not trading him and picks. As good as Zucker is, this would be a bad trade for Buffalo

Per usual, you are way too optimistic.

Seriously this team is so frustrating. I'm usually not one to complain since there are other teams who have had it way worse than us, but wow we need to blow it up badly.

I don't hate the trade, although I'd push hard to get a condition on the 1st to be the best 1st the Sabres own. Nylander really worries me but there's a chance he could be as good as his brother. His hockey IQ is really high.

Also, Duchene worries me as well. Might just be a coincidence but he's been a part of an awful Colorado team and now an awful Sense team. Makes me wonder if losing follows him, but I'm probably just being superstitious. Other than that his skills he brings to the table are perfect for our club.
