So Buffalo has to trade Eichel right? Incoming 1st + prospect for Eichel, there’s no way the Sabres can win a Eichel trade at this point

There’s no way Buffalo gets more for Risto than they do Eichel, right guys?

Love the Ritchie deal. Solid physical force. Hopefully he can tone down on the amount of penalties he takes…

The Bruins were holding out for Krejci, and lost Kase+Ritchie at only $3.75 million combined to a division rival in the process.

They might, teams will lowball the Sabres and they might be forced to accept one

Enjoy having negative cap space

No one wants any of your useless garbage

By useless garbage I mean Engvall, Mikheyev, Dermott etc.

Dermott is a 7th defencemen on any other team

Mikheyev is an AHL player on any other team

You clearly have an anti leaf bias, Dermott is currently a 3rd pairing D with upside and Mikheyev is a good bottom 6 player

Oh I love the anti leaf bias here! Truly exceptional!

93 games, 40p, isn’t AHL buddy, I’m sorry.
Dermott isn’t 7th dman, he’s 5-6, and engvall is a solid 4th liner

Engvall is kind of garbage at this point, he’s been misused by the Leafs but I agree with the rest

You see that’s just on the MAPLE LEAFS like look at a team like they wouldn’t be playing every game on a team like the capitals or Bruins sure they likely would play if someone was injured but that’s besides the point.

And I wasn’t talking about any of your big 4 just to clarify

So Bruins and Leafs just swapped their Nicks. Foligno to Ritchie.

The capitals and bruins have excellent depth. Mikheyev and dermott would be playing on nearly any other team. Engvall would be scratched but mikheyev and dermott are nhlers

So according to Hughes and Petterson's agent (JP Barry)

The contract talks between himself and the Canucks have stalled not because of money but term

His clients don't want long term deals but want a boatload of money. Seems to me they want to go straight to UFA status and bail lul. He also cites cap space as a problem

My guess rn is Canucks want to give 8 years but the 2 clients want 5-6 years

I hope Quinn gets a 5-6 year deal

Mikheyev was one of the best KHL players a couple years ago, and he's sadly lost confidence since his wrist injury.
