Thread: What do these Players get us if we sell hard
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TM11</b></div><div>Yeah, he's weird because he actually looks better than his production and a huge locker room guy, but there's massive risk with taking him espcially because hes been good at setting up but cant put the puck in the net this year which used to be his best thing.</div></div>

I think what teams are looking at with Pacioretty is, "can we put him in the right situation where he can catch lightning in a bottle?" Followed by, "if we do that, can he stay healthy." Both really big question marks, so I think any team taking him on is taking a gamble. I actually really like the bruins as a fit here - relatively low cost (unless there's some bonkers bidding war, which isn't impossible), and I think he would fit in well with Zacha and Marchand. If it doesn't work, oh well. I think that sort of deal could work if the bruins take a swing at a big target like Hanifin, fall short, but still want to add to their roster.

Thread: Lines when Quinn Healthy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TM11</b></div><div>Not a sabers fan but dies Kulich not make it this year? And that right side looks brutal what are the Odds someone like Krebs, Olofsson, Kulich (not Benson or Savoie) are moved for a RHD</div></div>

The thing you have to consider is Kevyn Adams won't part with his first round selections period...maybe a couple years down the road once they see where their progression has gotten. When one of Savoie and Kulich were mentioned when Meier was on the block Adams said no. I think they expect this to be Krebs breakout year so he isn't being moved. I don't see the Sabres doing much as far as trades go. They'll go the waiver wire once teams have their rosters set. I think the biggest mistake is if they don't acquire a decent goalie and put all the weight on a Levi &amp; UPL duo besides carrying 3 goalies including Comrie and if they do they don't make the playoffs. It's too much to ask of a rookie goalie to carry the load in an 82 games schedule.

Thread: Prospect Rankings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NARC311</b></div><div>Only surprise for me is having Protas that low. Same draft class as McMike with more AHL production and higher favor amongst the organization.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TM11</b></div><div>Yeah I mean honestly I think Mcmichael, Lappiere, Suzdalev, and Protas are all within the same range. I think Mcmichael can have a Morgan Frost development curve and be like a 50-60 point guy, not an elite scorer but works hard and grinds for points. I just frankly can't see Protas becoming more than a 3C if he still doesn't get more powerful (Hes strong just doesn't play with power). Then I think Lappiere honestly tops out as a 3rd line wing and then Suzdalev has some more elite skill where he could be a top 6 winger if it all works out for him</div></div>

Was surprised too

I think Protas is an everyday NHL player (bottom 6), but McM might have more upside (at most, 2c)?
