Toffoli has pretty high value with his contract, and Buffalo needs a C in return ... plus some picks to help sweeten the pot.

Really hard to move Toffoli the way he is playing, but if you want to get something, you gotta give something! Decent chance Toffoli's value is never higher than it is this off-season too.

Montreal has to let Tatar and Danault walk. Poehling, Evans, Mysak, Fleury- or players with similar ELC cap hits have to fill out Montreal's bottom end. They have 2.5-3M cap space with those rookies in place, if they resign Armia at 3M, and Lehkonen at his QO rate.

Make it a first and Romanov (instead of KK and a second), and I think this could be done. MTL needs offense to go with Eichel, and BUF needs a guy who can score and better D. I know MTL fans don't want to wind up with another Drouin / Sergachev situation, but I think this is better for both, since Romanov won't be top four for the next couple years.

Buffalo has just been burned with Okposo and Skinner taking players that can score elsewhere and can't score in Buf. They don't want Toffoli because they know the problem is internal. There's no deal here.

Okposo was their own doing, and even Skinner to a lesser extent. Don't be a hater cause VAN let him walk and they needed him. Toffoli has more game than both these guys put together.

wtf?

how did my comment about Buf not wanting to repeat mistakes internally become about Vancouver?

If you said Toffoli was a better player than Skinner when he was in Carolina you're an idiot.

We're talking about a team that killed Taylor Hall for 3 months. You think Toffoli is immune to that?

No one is immune to that. But they gotta start somewhere, and I can think of worse ways. And letting Toffoli go and signing Virtanen was a mistake. Hall never would have signed in BUF, he just didn't have any other options that would pay him until a deadline deal, and he bet on Eichel to pump his value. That's on Hall.

And it's fun busting your balls lol

You start with jack ****ing eichel
