Thread: Strome and Vatanen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_akin</b></div><div>I dont think we will get Strome for some stuff we don't want. There is little value going back to the hawks. Why do they do this? We would have to give up prospects we would prefer to keep, hilis and a third isnt enough and kulak is a dump

i like vatanen a lot and "if" he is healthy thats a good contract and he provides offence, he unfortunately is easily injured.</div></div>

Honestly don't think it makes much sense to add Vatanen. You have Wideman that likely is signed to provide the same thing and he is on a league min deal. As for the trade to Chicago, it doesn't help them at all. They have a logjam on defense, and adding another defenseman won't help that. I think Chicago move Strome to LW in their top 9 rather than trade him and Have Borgström as 3C.

Thread: Buffalo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>I think that's the best Sabers could hope for IMO. Sadly the Sabers used up their chances at the primo options now that most teams are set for the upcoming year.
their hope now is this offer.. or that Eichel agrees to play this year get's healthy and trade deadline a team offers their cupboard to get him with some retention.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_akin</b></div><div>anything productive to add ? or just telling him no? if that's the case why bother stopping by, tell him how to fix the trade maybe</div></div>

It isnt the value its the pieces, they make no sense. I wish people would take one second to see what the team needs are. they have 9 Dmen under the age of 24, 3 in the NHL and 2 are sure fire NHLers, and they have 2 A+ goalie prospects one that they just traded Reinhart for. Were not asking for more, were asking it to make sense. We've been saying this for months but people keep acting like we want more picks and prospects. Just add forward prospects, thats what Buffalo needs, and thats what Buffalo is going to trade their franchise center for

Thread: adjusted let me know -- little moves
I think you need to send more. You mentioned Bo Horvat-Bo is better, but think of him when you're putting a package together. Gotta think there'd need to a 1st in there somewhere, and build on it from there.

Talking points:
-Lehknonen: I think he's worse than Habs fans think, and better than a lot of other people give him credit for. For the money he's being paid though, the return would be low. Maybe a late 2nd at the deadline or something like that? If the idea is that you're a contender, you should probably keep him though.
-Byron dump: Stralman ($5.5 mil x 1 year) cost the Panthers the equivalent of 2 x 2nds. Byron is owed $6.8 mil over 2 years, so it's probably around the same.
-If Buffalo trades Eichel, they'd probably be willing to do a Byron dump to get to the floor, as long as they aren't taking a bigger salary back. Detroit-Probably not unless it was an overwhelming move. Arizona-probably not because they can probably find a cap hit with a lower dollar value owed to get there (maybe?).
-"meh" on Donato. Might as well give Poehling another shot at some point. If he doesn't fit the bill, make a move from there.
-23 man looks fine: Deep team. Will be in tough in that division with Tampa, Florida, Toronto, and the never aging Bruins.
