Vegas has really been slumping right now and they need to bolster their D.
Time to jump all over a Tuch trade.

Vegas isn't giving up Tuch in a deal for a D that the Sabres will trade to Vegas.
I agree that Vegas should not want to trade Tuch, but they're D-corps is significantly lacking, and without one decent right-shot D (only Engelland, with Schmidt playing right side as a lefty). They have good FWs, but a bunch with NMCs/NTCs. Karlsson and Tuch are the only good FWs without one, and after that is Eakin, Reaves, Nosek, and Pirri as expendables. They aren't going to solve the D-corps problem through a trade with that last group. So IMO Vegas either solves the D issue by trading Karlsson or Tuch, or they just let it ride and stay mediocre this season and probably next.
I'll take Mittelstadt over him in a heartbeat.Radek Faksa. Everything the team needs as a 3C, plus is a big player who goes to the net.

Not sure why people keep crapping on Mittelstadt...how about we get him some good linemates, instead of trying to replace him?
He's had dogsh*t linemates his entire time in Buffalo, and people wonder why he's not living up to expectations.
It seems to me that Faksa for Risto is not so attractive, if Faksa + is such a prospect as Robertson, then yes, plus we take a small dump to equalize the salary. For Pageau they will probably already ask for the first round, he is now simply on fire.
Eventually it would be nice to have centers who can drive a line themselves. We always resort to "give him better linemates" as an argument but how about "make your damn linemates better" by opening the ice up for them and setting them up with passes.I'll take Mittelstadt over him in a heartbeat.

Well then, this deal does not look very attractive to us, no, Faksa is certainly a good player, but there must be some plus.I don’t see Dallas giving up much more than Faksa. Honka? 2020 3rd rounder? They need their prospects. Talent pool in Dallas is shallow.
what do you mean by 'drive a line'? if your linemates aren't winning puck battles, are never in proper position to receive passes, and can't score on the chances you do provide them with, what are you supposed to do?Eventually it would be nice to have centers who can drive a line themselves. We always resort to "give him better linemates" as an argument but how about "make your damn linemates better" by opening the ice up for them and setting them up with passes.
Hes such a non option that no team plans for him, they play basic hockey and his entire line gets shut down.
I literally said it in the post you quoted to some extent.what do you mean by 'drive a line'?
i edited my post to include more detailed counterpointsI literally said it in the post you quoted to some extent.
"Create space for the wingers to get set up", add playmaking ability by creating offense. Set up the play etc.
The biggest factor for linemates not being able to set up is that there is no line driver. We need more players that teams specifically plan for, if one guy can draw 2 players to him then this opens the ice for everyone else.i edited my post to include more detailed counterpoints
what is the over/under on an actual trade? I figured it would happen by now. Could we really go into mid/late february before any movement? If not now, then when? January 1??? Whats your confident under date?
Around the draft.

Its not really relevant what other GMs are doing. GMs don't keeps their job because what other GMs did or didn't do.Why would you figure that? Because of all the trades happening with the other 30 GMs & teams? It's extremely early in the season for buyers & sellers to be established, hence no trades of any importance.
The only movement your likely to see this early in the season are potential RFA holdouts with a DEC 1 deadline (Puljujarvi) or minor hockey/cap deals like the Perlini move.
Over/under 2nd week of Dec...

Vegas now losing to the Kings 2-0.Vegas isn't giving up Tuch in a deal for a D that the Sabres will trade to Vegas.
3-3, but yes, I read in their topic that they need a mobile RHD that can move the puck, Risto doesn't really fit this definition, Montour probably isn’t trade.Vegas now losing to the Kings 2-0.
Bet they make a move of some kind.
nah f*** getting any top wingers for him to play with, here comes some hot garbage to slide down his innocent throat.I'll take Mittelstadt over him in a heartbeat.
