Thread: What is the cost for Marino
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabresparaavida</b></div><div>Well Rosen was 13th OA last year, and Mitts is slotted to be 2C/3C next year, battling with Cozens. And the comment was more geared to how KA is building the team. KA has no interest in short term success, he wants to build a perennial contender, and his words and actions have all shown how he wants to build up by drafting and developing. He’s not going to sacrifice players that could be key 3,4 years down the road to make the team better now. I think the defense is set outside of perhaps a 5-7D add, and the forwards are probably set outside of taking on a cap dump for assets.</div></div>

Marino is locked for 5 years and is only 25. I don’t think It’s a short sighted move at all

Thread: THIS IS A NO BRAINER
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>I'd still think Buffalo would get some decent pieces for him, at least some not bad draft picks, combine that with the rest of the haul from Calgary and they made out pretty well from a ****ty situation.</div></div>

Absolutely, they seem to be seriously using their leverage of letting Eichel rot on LTIR to their advantage and good for them.

Flames fans need to look at how well the Hanifn, Lindholm deal worked out, Fox was not signing here Treliving knew that well ahead of time so he got what he could for him. I can see the same happening here, Carolina is literally left with Noel Gunler from all the Adam fox stuff and Calgary has Hanifin and Lindholm, two years from now Buffalo will likely be without Tkachuk, without Eichel sitting on a mountain of draft and prospect capital.

Thread: building from scratch
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>What makes eichel anywhere near top ten player? Zero hardware not even close to seeing post season in how long? There was enough talent over the past few seasons that a top ten player would have made them atleast respectful which he couldn’t even do that. It’s funny to consider him soo highly but from an outsider it kinda looks like Buffalo made a smarts choice and did some addition by subtraction and are better off for it.</div></div>

I think top 10 is a stretch, but top 20 is a given. As for "Not getting it done"...Artemi Panarin anyone?

And the whole "Addition by subtraction" thing is funny too. They played the majority of the season last year without him and were bad. This year? They've played the Habs, Yotes and Canucks-None of whom are playoff teams. Also, let's see a bit bigger sample size than 3 games from Craig Anderson and Dustin Tokarski.
