This is the best part of the game lmao.
We are too far away form the trade deadline to really speculate with any reasonableness but if we're on a 100/100+ point pace and with the amount of parity in the league, the time could be now to make a move. Look at Tampa. They're on the outside of the playoff race after making it to the finals and now they might lose Stamkos and miss the playoffs. Most assumed they'd be a lock and a favorite to win the division. You can't bank on the future.
Well that's why Tallon is trying to lock up Barkov for 8 years. He has said over and over that we need to keep room to lock up our young core, that's why he didn't spend in free agency in the summer. It's Tampa s fault they didn't lock up Stamps when they had the chance. Look at LA and Chicago, yes it is definitely possible to keep a winning team together for a long time and hold onto your key players.
I'm not opposed to making a move, but I agree with Tallon that it has to be a young player. Otherwise I'm not on board with giving up that much for a 30 something guy this season.
First plus prospect is ok imo. Not an overpayment.
If Tallon can get him below 6, you do it.
It's not necessarily an overpayment for Buff. The issue is I don't want to give up that much for a guy that old. And I don't want him here for 7-8 years either.
WTF is all the Byf talk??? Is there a credible rumor or something????
Byfuglien becomes a Panther, I drop whatever the **** and get my red customized immediately.
This is the best part of the game lmao.
Too far away to worry about trade deadline and adding for a playoff run yet... just a month ago some of u wanted the coach fired and now u wanna trade assets for a playoff run... most of these guys don't have a so gle game of postseason experience yet... I say just enjoy the way they r playing now.. it's great hockey... barkov is finding his stride and starting to turn some heads... that was a fun game to watch and pretty intense but nothing compared to playoffs.... great win!!!
Well, the only credible rumor is Peg is close to letting some assets go. For sure one of Ladd or Buff.
To be honest, either one in Florida takes us over the top
Then the reality check lol
I dont want to mess with the chemistry right now.
Where's Nicky goin and for who?
Nowhere. You don't want to mess with the chemistry but you want to trade Bjugs for someone else?
Nowhere. You don't want to mess with the chemistry but you want to trade Bjugs for someone else?
In for Knight.
Pirri Bjugstad Shaw
or in for Shaw.
Pirri Knight Bjugstad.
I cant say it enough, Jokinen Tro Smith must stay together.
I think he meant like line wise like who is he replacing.
Mack drops to fourth line center, bumping Knight back down to the AHL ,and Bjugstad takes over his spot, imo.
WIN lT FOR LEMMY
