Thread: chiclets proposal
The Sabres. I can't imagine dahlin being available for anything reasonable. Plus zegras doesn't fill an obvious need- we have Thompson and cozens at #1/#2 center (both signed long term for 7m ea), zegras doesn't provide an obvious upgrade over either. Both Thompson and cozens have provided offense, with awful to below average defense, zegras doesn't provide an obvious upgrade there. The Sabres have what appears to be quantity of quality at the wings, maybe nothing elite, but very good overall, so I don't see a huge need to trade for zegras and put him on a wing. With Thompson and cozens both having holes in their defensive game (although I expect cozens to take a big step this year), a third line center that can help with the defensive stuff, win a faceoff, kill a penalty, play a solid two way game- would make a lot more sense to me (hoping Krebs can do it). At the end of the day, zegras would be a luxury pick up, which isn't something you consider trading dahlin for, and Drysdale doesn't make up the difference.

Thread: Updated Joseph Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I don't think OTT does this trade. a 1st round pick to dump Mathieu is a lot and doesn't match up with what Kyle Davidson's been willing to accept. I tend to think the Ott 2nd and Lassi should do the trick with a smaller player/prospect going back to OTT.</div></div>

The other thing that might be interesting with OTT is that Lassi could well be a waiver pick up for the Hawks in a couple weeks or so... If we want him (Lassi) on the roster for the year, that is.

Otherwise, though I like Joseph, absent nice picks/assets coming to the Hawks I think they pass on him.

May be some other tolerable RD available on waivers, for that matter, that'd cost the Hawks nothing but cap space. The Hawks are certainly near the front of the line of those pick-ups.
