He’s a good player, with penalty issues. If he settled down with the stupid penalties he would be a valuable player in Buffalo.

We’ll give you Weal for free. He’s pretty good at passing the puck and winning faceoffs, but bad at pretty much everything else.

Atrocious. That’s the main reason he’s been a healthy scratch often, and why I want to get rid of him. He won’t impact the team as negatively if he plays on the wing, but you’re going to want to him to be a playmaker, and nothing else.

Don’t think Laughton would come cheap. Fletcher at the deadline said his phone was buzzing for him including a first rounder on the table and they had no intentions of moving him at all. Stepan is probably a good gamble to take on for a year with your need at Center and Arizona wanting to clear cap.

Good to know. Off the board for me then!

I didn’t know that. I was hoping his value would be lower due to being a healthy scratch in a couple playoff games.

Was only scratched for a game bc AV was having his love affair with Grant and Thompson and overplaying then for some reason. But yeah I was surprised he was getting that much buzz at the deadline. Guess you could make the comparable to what Blake Coleman netted at the deadline bc both are very similar players and basically the same contract.

you can have Ritchie for free. Guy is not a good player at all. He's out of shape and moves like he got cement in his skates. He's more times than not behind the play and on multiple occasions I watched him lose board battles to guys much smaller than him. Guy is a former 10OA pick and the definition of a bust.

Honestly take him and if you want we'll throw in his equally useless brother.

I know it wouldn't cost much but he's another Kaletta who never learned.
