cripplereh Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Like I said a couple times that thus was the best time to trade Bo. Now other teams will want to get better. Miller might just be tradable. Schenn, Brock and Myers also. Teams will want players going into tdl and we have some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to when we drafted Linden and Bure... Exactly... Changes are needed. We all know that, and if the draft really looks this good, now is definitely the time to pounce. In saying that, they may still flip the pick for D help... We'll see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially under the structure that Tocchet is gonna lay out. You've been here 20 years spewing all sorts of negatives. FIFY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season is over and next will be worse. Lots of time to deal with that D. We could be leaving this draft with a future top line center and a top 2 dman, as well as Raty who could be an amazing 3C behind Petey and our #5 overall centerman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how else we can get a top 4 RHD. That Islanders pick might be the ticket to get the future partner for Hughes... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnBurner Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just now, Alflives said: Exactly! And AB has an excellent playoff resume. At the 2024 TDL he’s likely worth a second. So that’s Bo for Raty, a first, and a second, and 8-9 mil (Bo’s contract) in cap space. That’s a major win. I'm not saying it's a major win, but it sure could be worse. What I was trying to point out is that Stawns keeps saying the 4.1 mil contract is an anchor, but it's only until the end of next season. And at least, let's give the guy a chance.

spook007 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 15 minutes ago, stawns said: Again, it's the top 5 driving that narrative. After #5 it drops off significantly, but is still good. By #10-11 it drops off more and after that it's above average, but nothing spectacular. The buzz about the top 5 is creating the narrative. Lou didn't pick #12 out of a hat, he knows the draft comes back to earth after that. If this is how they see it as well, expect the pick to shifted for a D man. In saying this, when Benning picked (it is what it is) McCann later in the round folks were okish, but he has turned out ok eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that’s Bo for Raty, a first, and a second, and 8-9 mil (Bo’s contract) in cap space. That’s a major win. Exactly. We retain 50% on him, and he becomes a $2M middle 6 forward with speed and defensive awareness. You're right, it's probably a 2nd round pick at that point. This is worst case scenario. Best case scenario, he finds his scoring touch again and becomes a consistent 20 goal winger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauvillier isn't trash like you make it seem, either. I was just going to say the exact same thing as you. Some people on here…..either they need to step away from here and go have a drink or they need to stop drinking! Not sure which, but my god this place is ridiculous!! 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilunga Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Sharpshooter said: I’d rather have a team that knows how to restructure on the fly once the foundation is already set in stone. We just traded a cornerstone. That he wanted what we could not afford pay him based on one years performance that seriously out performed the rest of his career. Wonder what sort of player he will be after signing his next contract ? The same as the previous 8 years or this one anomalous year ? He was an alright bloke, however alright blokes don't captain cup winning teams. Wish him the best but this was gonna happen anyway after signing Miller last year, which I was against, would have loved that rumoured NYR deal.
