I apologize for this as I only skim this thread after falling behind a week: Who is CDD and where can I find a link to this report about a front office shakeup coming?

I view goalies like RBs in the NFL Draft, I think it is better to take them later in the draft and focus on better value picks early.
But yeah, I think he will get a bit overvalued because he is big.

I hope Jack gets back so we can try a Jack/Cozens/Mitts center spine for a bunch of games.
Burnside with some broadsides in his pre-deadline article. CliffsNotes:
-Word is Buffalo wants a 1st for Hall. Burnside seemingly thinks they should be happy with a 3rd and a middling prospect, though I could sense some exaggeration there. Thinks Leafs, Isles are good fits, and that Hall will definitely be moved.
-Montour likely to move. Thinks Jets are a good fit.
-Reinhart an outside chance to be moved. Poked fun at Buffalo and suggested that while he shouldn't be moved that likely means Buffalo will trade him in an awful deal.
-He thinks some of the possibly available goaltenders would be good fits for Buffalo. Mentioned Merzlikins, but thinks a trade closer to the draft would be more likely. Also mentioned Driedger, but that would make little sense given he's a pending UFA...unless Buffalo makes that deal with the intention of shelling out a big enough deal to make him forego UFA.
Who stays, who goes? A look at players from The Athletic's Big Trade Board who could move or stay put

Ding! Ding! Ding!
I am all in on a one for one trade maybe with some extra's
Reinhart for Monahan
Same point production but Monahan comes in cheaper than what Reinhart will probably demand and he can stop gap at 2C for next season.
This just makes us worse rather have Sam who cares

How does it?
I also think its funny that you and possibly others think Sam cares. He's in a contract year, of course he's going to try whether its for this team or the next.

Sam is a stable player and we know what to expect from him. Monahan is invisible and Calgary fans are unhappy with him. Imagine what will happen when he arrives in Buffalo? He won't have Gaudreau here, we don't have anyone on the right wing at all if we're trading Sam. Monahan will not be able to work well with Skinner or Olofsson, there are too many nuances and doubts.
Monahan would be the consensus least favorite Sabre by this December.

I don’t understand what you’re getting at about Jack as captain or the relevance of that book excerpt.
1) The book excerpt.. “The men and women who make up the Captain Class were never the most skilled athletes”......is not remotely true in the NHL. Almost every captain of Stanley Cup winning teams is in the Hall of Fame, is a future Hall of Famer or has a good argument for the Hall. There are no role players captaining Stanley Cup winners.Champion captains: Every Stanley Cup winning captain since 1917
Which is why I don’t get your comment about Toews vs Kane. Toews is one of the best players of his era and will be in the Hall of Fame. He certainly isn’t a role player or an example of that book quote.
2) How has being captain held back Jack as a player? He continually improves year over year and last seasons was his best. Some argued he should have been in the MVP discussion. Mark Scheifele thought he was the MVP.
The only thing thats been able to slow Jack down in the NHL has been injuries. Thats been especially true this season.
3) Posters talk about not likely his facial expressions. That a captain doesn’t act like that. Crosby has been a crybaby and whiner his entire career and still captained his team to 3 Cups.
I’m honestly trying to understand what the issue is with Jack as captain. Are posters just scapegoating him for the team’s struggles? What isn’t he doing that he should be? Is he supposed to “captain” his team past bad coaching and roster construction?

I don't get why saying he shouldn't have the C is scapegoating him.
I just don't think he's a Toews/Crosby type leader. I would say the same thing about McDavid. I think they both were given the C not because they were great leaders but because they were the most talented players on the team.
I've never felt that is the best person to be the captain of a hockey team.
And Toews was never the most talented player on the Hawks. That has always been Kane.
