Thread: Got any Dad jokes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Mantha is a 6'5" power forward who led Detroit in points through the trade deadline. If you make a fair offer on him, you can be rid of Eichel while only eating $7.5M of retentions and Kempny, instead of the $10M copay on his contract's insurance. So making any fair offer on Mantha saves Buffalo $2.5M cash, and lets them be rid of Eichel sooner, and focus on this awesome winning season they're having. If they trade Hagg soon, and bring up Kempny, they might even be able to trade Kempny while still competing this year, but Kempny's $1M salary is hardly the issue.

You wouldn't have gotten Mantha at last year's deadline for Peterka and a 3rd. He cost Vrana and a 1st. And then Vrana scored a point a game the rest of the year, like all the Caps fans said he would on any team with a 1L spot for him. Peterka isn't Buffalo's best forward prospect. Peterka isn't even Rochester's best RW. Quinn is. Sometimes I think people argue just to argue, on here.</div></div>

If they wanted cash, Terry would just dig another oil well

Thread: Mantha Tuch Brisson Elvenes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roysboy72</b></div><div>I said roster players, not drafted players. Vegas is a carousel, in my opinion. They chew up and spit out players on their roster like crazy. Also, it’s not too impressive of a stat to have only traded 3 of your drafted players when a franchise has only gone through 5 drafts so far. All first rounders in those trades too, from the same draft class. Glass, Suzuki, Brannstrom. It’s not too far fetched that they’d trade Brisson too.</div></div>

Letting players go is one thing but when you look at who they let go that is a different story. Perron, Suzuki, Schmidt, Fleury and Tatar are the only players they have let go of significance. They have also gained Stone, Patchioretty, Pietrangelo, Stephenson, Martinez and Lehner. Most teams go through this process when attempting to go to the cup.

Thread: Eichel cap solution
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>Do this from the Caps side and Buffalo!</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Posted on the Caps' side two hours ago, in comments on a trade with Vegas. No objections, yet.</div></div> Buffalo gets:
Mantha, Anthony and Tuch, Alex two RW would fit into the line up very nicely and are the main pieces of this trade and are worth nearly 4 first round picks.
Elvenes, Whitecloud, Hague, and Brisson of the four prospects only the last two appear to be certain of an NHL future. The other two are projects and I doubt there is a spot for Hague in the line up this year or in the future.
While Buffalo does not have a top center this could be a very good team next year:
Skinner Cozens Mantha
Olofsson Mittelstadt Tuch
Bjork Brisson Thompson
Girgensons (any number of options) Okposo
That could be 4 wingers with a total of 120 goals and hopefully three #2 centers.
Of course Dahlin would need to learn how to play defense and make less risky plays
I cannot speak for the Vegas nor Washington but I would be all in on this deal as a Sabre's fan.
