Thread: Pay zat man Ionly some ofI his moneys
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>I doubt Bob waives for Buffalo, but if it was a 3team trade where Florida gets some scrub AHLer or prospect from the 3rd team in return and then Buffalo retains 3 million more on Bob to a contender they could probably get a 2nd or 3rd for him this year. Also probably do the same for Hornqvist cause I doubt Hornqvist would want to play for Buffalo, but with 50% retained by Buffalo they could probably get a 3rd. Gudas probably gets a 2nd or 3rd. To sum it up, at the very least they’d be getting three 3rds just to retain about 5 million cap. Which isn’t bad.</div></div>

I think getting Bob would be a big part of the deal for Buffalo in this little fairytale I've concocted lol. But that wouldn't be awful either, although I'm not sure Sabres want to retain for 4 years

Thread: Trouba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CementHead27</b></div><div>I’m saying he could not have stopped. Once you commit to a hit at that speed you are going through with it. He also left his feet because that’s part of finishing a check. If Domi didn’t lose his skates he would have likely hit him in the chest. I do think the instigator penalty was BS but that’s a stupid rule the NHL needs to do away with</div></div>

Yes but when this is another of many headshots he's had its an issue. And it always happens to be a huge scoring threat at the moment (Crosby, Guentzel, Domi). Whether he fell or not he leads with his elbow out on every check. And Domi didn't fall that much, he was just starting to slip and he went straight through his head, would've been a shoulder to the head if he didn't slip at least.

Thread: Fitting everyone under cap 22-23
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>I would trade Dumo over Pettersson. It’s a bit more cap relief and I think keeping Pettersson would make Rakell more likely to stay since they are good friends.</div></div>

I think Pettersson would be easier to trade. Even though 4.1M and 4.025M are basically the same thing. Dumo making just 975K more. But Pettersson the longer term. But Pettersson much younger. I think Dumo would bring back more in trade though.

And Pettersson paired with Marino has always had the best underlying numbers. More so than Marino paired with Matheson or Marino paired with Dumo.

Dumo just a PK superstar. I would love to keep all 3 but we can’t if we want to resign all 3 core players and Rakell. And especially with Friedman playing well and POJ ready.

Thread: Different look
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensfan21</b></div><div>I don't think we should bring back Geno</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>I think you undershot Letang a bit and maybe Rakell a bit. I’d let Geno walk and sign Trochek instead for like 6.5 million. Then maybe trade Dumo for a pick or two and let Scandella play. And I’d rather not with the Vancouver trade. Would probably rather just sign rust.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>I am no longer interested in the idea of Marino for Garland or Boeser. I also want nothing to do with Geno coming back but they will resign him and it will be for in the 6.5-7 million range.</div></div>

I just think he will because he wants less money. But I'd be fine with bringing in Trocheck.

Thread: My lines and special teams going into Game 1 regardless of opponent
I find myself not wanting to scratch Boyle. He's exceeded all expectations we had for him and has found ways to make a positive impact. The man managed 10 goals, 9 assists playing sheltered minutes at the age of 37. Plus he's 6'6 and 245 lb, that's the type of guy you want in playoff hockey.
I would honestly bench ERod over Boyle at this point in the season. Rodrigues just hasn't been the same since the all-star break. Boyle's pace has been better since.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>Hopefully Carter isn’t seriously injured. If he is and isn’t ready by playoffs, ERod definitely takes the 3C role, Zucker and Rust will likely flank Geno just because they have been going with Guentzel and Rakell with Sid a lot.</div></div>
Carter was at practice today, so no worries there.
