Frist, thank you all for your comments.
Second, Buffalo will not get as much as Buffalo fans think they will get for Eichel, this may be their best offer.
Third, I think Ristolainen and Reinhart will be traded.
Fourth, I do not know what Buffalo will get for Sam and Rasmus, but Lindell, Hintz and Bourque are players that fill the spots opened by trading them, LHD, center and RW.
Finally, I sort of think that it may not be a rebuild (I mean only teams that were successful at one time rebuild) as much as a retool.
The line up may not be this exactly as the coaches will put the players where they wish:
Skinner Hintz Quinn
Olofsson Cozens Bourque (he and Quinn may be ready next year)
Asplund Mittelstadt Thompson
Bjork Girgensons Okposo
Ruotsalainen

Dahlin Miller
Lindell Jokiharju
McCabe Borgen
Bryson/Samuelsson

With six or more picks in the first two rounds this year (additional picks coming from the Reinhart and Ristolainen trades) Buffalo could restock the prospect pool.
If Cozens can grow while Mittelstadt, Asplund and Thompson continue to gel they could still ice a respectable team.

Thread: The right call
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>The islanders have outplayed the lightning 3 out of the 5 games so far - last night the isles didn’t show up. I wouldn’t be on that happening again.


They let him off with fines because the play wasn’t worthy of a suspension</div></div>

I'd say two out of five.

I personally disagree. Any time you make an intentional hit with your stick or otherwise to someone head it should be a suspension because those type of injuries are the most dangerous and most importantly the most unnecessary and problematic ones.

Fighting? Knock yourself out if both guys volunteer on it, but it's just not really sportsmenlike to smash someone in the head with no warning.

If anything, Barzal and NYI got lucky they didn't get suspended - most likely because the next game is an elimination game.

Thread: Tkachuk and Makar
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYRFan92360244</b></div><div>What? No it is not!

Calgary gets two win now players that will fit with Sutter (Kreider, Strome). They are saving money this year and next. And they are adding two high-end prospects and two high picks.

If anything, Rangers are overpaying here.</div></div>

Well first of all zero chance Kreider waives to Canada, he already had every Canadian team on his previous contracts M-NTC so the trade is moot from the beginning.

You know who's way better for "win now" than those 2 players? Tkachuk and Monahan. Tkachuk does everything Kreider does but way better and a healthy Monahan is a better version of Strome.

Barron and Robertson are not high end prospects either, they are B to B+

Overall your package is really unappealing since trading away the 2 best players and taking on a bad contract is not good. If you want Tkachuk you better be willing to offer Lafreniere
