Please be right and let Eichel go to the Kings. Let them overpay for him so the Rangers don't.

I wouldn't mind Ristolainen on the Jets but not trading that 1st for him.

Ristolainen won’t return a 1st. I’m sure most hockey people know he is horrible.

That last trade is horrid, we literally get a mediocre prospect, a grinder, and 2nd for Reinhart..... did you pick the wrong player or something.

No interest in trading Eichel but if we did I'd want Byfield for starters.

Underwhelming Eichel offer with ZERO parts in the NHL.

Overpaying for Grubauer and UPL getting 20-25 NHL games instead of 50 AHL games isn't helpful for his development, although by signing Grubauer for 5 years, he will never be our starter anyways.

Maybe the worst Reinhart trade I've ever seen. He shows over an extended period of time that he can produce away from eichel and play center and you give him away for a 4th line plug, a non 1st round pick and troy terry who has 45 career points. Reinhart had 43 points as a rookie.

No way Risto returns a 1st. Toews got 2 2nds and Schmidt got a third. I know that they were cap casualties but they are significantly better than Risto. I wouldn’t mind having him but not at the cost of a first.

oh, so all 3 LA Kings players arent in rochester in your rochester portion that had all 3 in rochester?

You didn't sign grubauer for 5 years, which would make UPL a UFA when his deal expires?

He is 1 draft year behind reinhart and has 27 career points. He was drafted 6 years ago.

Even if you thought his ceiling was high, he wouldn't cost reinhart

It's just jarring when Grubauer is like the 5th best goalie in the league and Larsson is like the... idk... one hundred and thirty fourth best D in the league (?)

Yet they'd get almost the same contract

😐

How can that possibly be justified...

It's weird we're not all giving Grubs a 5x8 and Larsson like a 2x2.5 my dude literally has a career save percentage of .920 and is almost technically flawless

why do you insist that Risto is worth a first?
besides saying "no" and "wrong", what is your justification?

If Winnipeg signs Jake McCabe and Plays him with Risto they would have one of the best defensive pairings in the league. With the right partner Ristolainen plays exceptionally well. If Buffalo intends to keep McCabe then it is worth keeping Risto around.

ok but how many teams are trading a 1st rounder for a guy that is only good when he plays with someone good?
Risto is worth a 3rd rounder.

Thats why they are adding more than Terry. Terry has far more than 27 career points?? he has 45 Reinhart only had 60 something point (65 it seems) 123 games into his career

i did read that wrong.

Terry has 2 more career points than reinhart had his rookie year at age 20. You added a 2nd and a 4th line grinder.

Its an embarrassing trade for a guy who puts up 62 points per 82 his last 3 years and 52 points per 82 for his career. and has shown well as a center.

I mean Terry played in the AHL LAST year.
