Description

I know he's been underwhelming this season and they've got NHL ready forwards that will need to play. I'm sure they can stick it out with him - he scored 31 last season - just curious if there is any noise around him.

For the Blues, it would be a bad idea to enter next season with Schenn/Hayes as the 2C/3C.

Thoughts on Skjei? Spending even more money on defense next year sounds asinine but the guys that are here are going to be extremely difficult to move, and the cap will continue to rise which could lead to some dead money when the time is right.

Not for anything less than an extreme overpay so essentially no, he's not available.

Can't see Buffalo entertaining moving Cozens.

Also, signing Skjei long term to a large contract would probably be worse than doing nothing at all on the backend.

Nah, he's a part of the core going forward. The Sabres moved mittelstadt for bo Byram, they made their choice.

Screwed up thing is know we don't know if we have a 3C and Bryam wasn't very good after those first 3 or 4 games.

I think I'd go get a 3c. I know some people want Krebs to get a longer look, I defended him for quite awhile, but I think we need production from our 3rd line, even if it's d zone starts and less offensive stuff. Adams did not sound like- kids learning on the job- was an idea he was open to.

Short answer- NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT

Sabres just traded Mittelstadt,
there’s zero chance we’d move Cozens now

And that package u propose is laughable
