Tanev will block it before the puck even gets to the net but unfortunately break his ulna in the process and Schenn will be Hughes’s partner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Toronto I would do that deal, not so much if I was Buffalo. The Sabres are reportedly shopping one useless Nylander brother, there's no way that they'll add on the highly overpaid under-performing older Nylander instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFA is the best plan for them, imo Yeah I think you are right. But 7x7 is gonna hurt for Myers. But probably not as much pain as the assets that would have to be given to Buffalo for Risto.

Coaches scratch guys for indifferent and poor defensive play. I really don’t get the hype for this player. He’s a fringe NHL guy, who played in the ideal system for him. In Buffalo this guy is going to be a “Green Jacket” candidate. I think Miller is probably a little better than a fringe player but, like most players, he does have his warts. Personally, I think the simple reason that GMJB didn't seek out Colin Miller is likely he was not that high on him. Vegas fans weren't overly impressed with him.

Kobayashi Maru Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 24 minutes ago, Alflives said: I’d be happy to get Risto, but the cost in trade would be really high. Risto would cost Gaudette and Jake and madden and picks. Myers cost and extra 2 million more than Risto’s cap, and we don’t give up assets. I would give one of those guys plus a roster player and a pick but not all three. Madden + Tanev + 2nd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of what I've read is saying the Canucks have no intention of signing him to that contract, so I'm not sure where people are getting those numbers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto also probably doesn't want yet another defensive liability on their blueline when Muzzin is the only guy they have capable of playing like an NHLer in his own end. Mind you, it's just like Dumbass to follow up the addition by subtraction of Gardiner by trading for another pylon. Only way the Leafs get rid of their useless floater is the same way they got rid of Marleau. Edited June 29, 2019 by King Heffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the cap number. It's the fantasy that a guy like Pavelski would pick the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not like there was a heated bidding war for him. I watched the draft for hours on the day off. What you say is not true at all. Source????

SabreFan1 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Anybody mention yet that the 2nd round pick is the St. Louis pick from the ROR trade? So basically closer to the bottom of the round than the top! This cheap pick-up of a 2nd pairing d-man is looking better and better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how many teams are in the mix. If it's 5 or 6 then I think those numbers are realistic. If it's 1 or 2 then a 6x6 might be doable. I doubt he signs for less than 6. But I could be wrong.

If you can offload Risto for a high end forward then you've had a good summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider him barely better than an AHL level d-man knowing all the while that if the Canucks picked him up this cheaply, everyone would be hooting and hollering in happiness while singing JB's praises. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
