I had one of these prepped and ready to go when I closed out the last thread, but I forgot to hit post.

Hope that Hoffman talk doesn't involve erod; id only be willing to part with erod if its to put a package over the top in the risto for young 2c speculation

 

[WeDislikeEich]

It’ll be interesting to see who signs where tomorrow.

If some of these teams land expensive free agents I’m hoping Buffalo will be able to pull off a couple more cheap(ish) trades for players from cap strapped teams (like Bonino from Nashville maybe, or a guy from Florida (panthers or lightning).

McCabe for Hoffman, ok. McCabe and Erod for Hoffman, bad

 

[Gabrielor]

actually, outside of the pp, hoffman's numbers arent great the last 3 years at 5v5.

 

[Snippit]

Screw that Hoffman trade

I still want to explore Jason Zucker

 

[Royal Thunder]

Hoffman is an absolute weapon on the power play and in overtime, but he is not a great 5v5 player. For me, the bigger question is if we trade McCabe, are we just going without any physical, stay at home D this season? I'm interested to see what happens and who they target (if anyone) to play the "shutdown" minutes.

IMO McCabe had an excellent first part of the season but he fell way off after Christmas. Similar to Scandella who was very solid his first year and a tire fire his second year. It's hard to know what you're going to get from these guys.

The Hoffman talk does make sense.

It sounds like they are getting Panarin probably. Panarin, Huberdeau, Dadonov is lots of top-6 winger firepower. And they won't likely be looking to re-sign Hoffman longterm after.

I could see them being interested in a cheapish D like McCabe.

But agreed with the consensus here...McCabe is okay. I don't want to see ERod moved out in this kind of deal.

McCabe for Hoffman, I like.

That being said, Hoffman’s next contract worries me.

7+ million per season for years 30-35+

Definitely need to unload Okposo to Seattle if that’s the case.

I saw the tweet that said McCabe. Where was Erod mentioned?

100%. Zucker's more impactful at even strength, and he's got term left. Would be a way better acquisition.

Right, I dont see him making sense as a long term option here

 

[Chainshot]

No credibility to the source. Whatever.

I’m curious how the guy who tweeted it has any more credibility than anybody here.

You twitter kids grill him and get the truth.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Pegulas are going for it this year. Get ready for some craziness.

 

[Gabrielor]

Another presumable AHL add.

The article in SI was embarrassing. They still sound in over their heads.

Might be a good mentor for Bryson. Plus the article I posted suggests that the some people thought he should have been up with the Rangers all year instead of who they did play.

 

[Fjordy]

I honestly do not care, it will be Hoffman il Nyquist, although the Swede will be free, but help forward is very much needed.

I didn't read it. I just know how they operate.

He doesn't.
