1st
Grigorenko
McCabe/Pysyk (rather it be McCabe tbh)
I'm in.
Ooof. Giving up one of those two D would sting.....but I think I do that.
Is that enough for the Avs though?
They can't ask for one. He has a year left on his deal. Prospect+young roster player+1st.
Grigorenko+Pysyk+other 1st rounder
Teams that want to contend for a long time do not spend Modano assets/money for Lehtinens.
Why not just let him play one year against older players in Rochester with Bailey, Baptiste & co?
I'm not opposed to him doing a split season in Rochester, then/if a spot opens he can come up. He can work on strength and body growth just as well in Rochester for 40 games as he can in Buffalo.
Is my understanding correct that if Eichel signs a contract he is in limbo? Can't go back to college, and can't go the the AHL as St. John holds his rights.

Bait.Agreed, but most here think value is immaterial if you like the player.
If we do give up a first and ristolainen, well find a way to like it within a few hours.
Thanks guys. Do you think there would there be value in Eichel spending a (half?) season in Rochester?
I wouldn't downplay the importance of the "Lehtinens" of the league. Dallas has a stanley cup that proves how important they are.Teams that want to contend for a long time do not spend Modano assets/money for Lehtinens.

i actually think he's a more realistic player to be a core piece in a deal versus a Grigo, late 1st, Pysyk/McCabe/Prospect. slotting Ennis into that top 6 as a secondary scorer wouldnt look terrible. fits into the age group to grow with, he's signed.Think we could convince them to take Ennis in a ROR deal?? I'd be all about that.
The fact that Murray and Oester are good buddies and that Murray wanted him here as his assistant GM tells me he will know ROR's interest in being here and what the contract would look like before any deal is made.
I think Grigs, Pysyk, late 1st is the fairest offer they will get.
Bait.
Yeah well Ave fans think they could get the late 1st plus Risto or Zads plus another prospect. Oh and no one outside of Buffalo would say Pysyk or McCabe are any good since they are apparently worse that Benoit and Meszaros.i actually think he's a more realistic player to be a core piece in a deal versus a Grigo, late 1st, Pysyk/McCabe/Prospect. slotting Ennis into that top 6 as a secondary scorer wouldnt look terrible. fits into the age group to grow with, he's signed.
