Girgensons isn't really the best fit for Pittsburgh. We're strapped up against the cap as it is and are in more need of depth scoring than another defensive specialist 4th liner.

Sabres are not claiming Samsonov, noone is.
Last thing this team needs going forward is boat anchor contract in Goodrow

Goodrow is overpaid by 1m sure, but is the type of vet pF BUF actually needs lol. Problem is we need him this year too. Easy pass and BS is NOT going anywhere

Plus he’s better defensively than Miller imo. I don’t think we are in a position currently to move a defenseman off the roster. I’d personally look to reinforce the d core with a 6 or 7 d man like Seeler to reinforce the team.

No way Drury is gonna mess with the current roster and chemistry they have now. Hell just add using picks and prospects that have no future with NYR

I'd prefer Zohorna. I think he has a chance to be Tage Thompson light

That’s what I’d do. In my opinion I really don’t see Jones or Robertson ever truly making the roster. Sykora, Berard, Korczak and McConnell Baker are longshots. Realistically, I see Othmann, Perrault, Garand and maybe Fortescue making it in the next couple of years. Might as well move the ones with little chance in an attempt to reinforce the current roster.

Jones is a fine 7th man. Robertson hasn’t really had a shot and I’m not sure how he’s been this year.

Sykora, Berard and BCM will be bottom 6 players which they’ll need so avoid spending $3.6m on another goodrow. And I think they’ll be better than what we have besides vesey

But none of them are right wingers, so the rangers will have to shop for that next year

Also to mention, they’re already low on players in the AHL because of injuries and Drury wants to make the AHL playoffs as well. Good teams have a good farm

That provides an interesting conundrum then. Best way to improve the AHL is to stop trading picks and keep developing guys internally, but those very picks are needed to upgraded the team. A fascinating issue indeed.
