for the love of god why would you use that phrase
I mean...let's not do that, eh?

I think most people want to see Nylander, Olofsson, and Smith get a shot first. Maybe they provide a spark, maybe they end up over their heads, but they cannot possibly be worse than what we're rolling out now. But it would also be helpful to know that before we hit the trade deadline...
We have a lot of trade assets, right?? The key will be identifying the right players to fill the right roles.
If we were out of the playoffs, we'd have Pontus Aberg. Prob is he'd suck on our crap roster then. Get it
I'm not interested in being anything, I'm just describing the hockey I'm seeing.Sure....
I was talking about the Blues pick. If you want to be negative knock yourself out.
The sooner this happens, the sooner Botts learns if they're passable NHL'ers right now or not. It certainly can't hurt to change things up at the rate they're scoring at both levels. You're only stalling those evaluations at this point.I think most people want to see Nylander, Olofsson, and Smith get a shot first.

Well considering we did the exact opposite it would only be fair for some other team to return the favor.
but they're easier when your D and 1st line are kinda in a good place.
For starters Silfverberg is what we want Okposo to be. This ain't trade forum so I won't even startA lot of assets for a hockey trade? They have the first line, and some defenders. Are you looking to trade for a forward from the top 4?
Jeff Skinner wasn't a free agent.
For the Hockey Tradezzzzzzz crowd. What assets are you willing to give up from the team?
Anything outside of Eichel, Dahlin if it makes sense

He is after this season, which is basically why we got him for nothing. And at least the assets Carolina got back for him aren't literally contributing to losses because they are a total albatross around the team's neck.
Didn't say KO would get anything, or how we could get rid of him, either, but we should target guys that would fill roles.I don't think Okposo will return Silfverberg. It's not just the fans here that know the buffalo bottom 9 isn't so hot. Anyone else in the league does too.
Sure they could get something spicy for Mitts, but that's not a good idea. And they'd get something for Thompson, none of the other 7 players hold any value at this point.

So make any trade where Botts can rip off another team. I'm all for that too, but it's not a sound strategy. There's no source of strength to make a hockey trade from.
...or a trade for an expiring UFA, who wants to come here. Gave you an example even. Good night manNo ****ing **** they should fill roles if possible. But they don't have assets for a hockey trade, unless you want to cut bait on Ristolinen.
A hockey trade is either a swap for equivalent players who need a 'change of scenery' (they've ****ed someone's gf), or between D and F.
You completely missed the point: Carolina got a giant box of nothing, we got a can of ebola. Their nothing is at least not hurting them, our can of ebola is actively contributing to defeats.I can't ever tell what positions you hold, except a bent for fatalism. So Buffalo got Skinner, except that doesn't really count, but it's also good for Carolina, because they got futures. But Carolina is terrible, and made a good trade, which would was therefore also bad for Buffal... I've just gone cross eyed.
Wait, what? Not having Skinner is not hurting the Canes? But not having ROR is hurting us? I’m so confused.You completely missed the point: Carolina got a giant box of nothing, we got a can of ebola. Their nothing is at least not hurting them, our can of ebola is actively contributing to defeats.
Seriously? We have 4 1st round picks next 2 years. We have Scandella who I am sure is still viewed in high regard in terms of value around the league. We have Reinhart ..we have Risto, we have decent prospects.
It's not about ripping off a team.. it's about being smart and identifying your needs and addressing them.
First things first they should be bringing up some kids and evaluating if a Nylander can fill the void if you trade a Reinhart. There are a lot of options that could take place if you do something other then sit on your hands and play the Sobotkas and Elies every night
