Description

The goal was to get harder to play against. Obviously some luck in getting Power and assuming he plays one more year of college. I honestly think you guys need to add more talent to the top 9 and may need to overpay to do so, but the depth is improved here. Honestly think this is an improvement, but let me know. I know the trades values may be a little off, but don’t crucify me over it. Again main idea is improve depth and become harder to play against.

Why would we throw Lemieux away like that. Just keep him. He's the only player on our team that isn't scared sh*tless to fight or block a shot.

If youre trying to get tougher, why are you trading Risto, that trade is the opposite of that. Rangers love Lemieux, you'd have to over pay

I think that ship has sailed and might be time to try something new. And yes we do love Lemieux, but those are the types that could help (outsiders perspective).

This is more of a what Buffalo should look to do in order to improve and be harder to play against. Rangers could use a Tom Wilson if I’m being honest in addition to Lemieux. Maybe Will Cuylle will be that for us one day I hope. Plus I may be mistaken, but he said that’s who he looked up to and modeled his game after.

Trades weren’t final, mentioned the value may be off, simply trying to show an improved roster.

Still though, NYR wouldn't do it. Cuylle is a ways out if he makes it all too.

Zucker is a good idea, but he’s got a 10 team no trade list and I would guarantee Buffalo is on it. I also wouldn’t pay that much to get him. Pittsburgh would probably just be happy to be getting rid of his contract.
