That would genuinely be amazing hah.

I think the biggest problem is they seem firmly entrenched in being a forever mid-team. No real high end elite talent at goalie, defence, wing, or centre. Beniers would of course be the closest but he's coming off a 50-point season as a 23-year old so there's probably a fair question as to if...

Seeing what 1st round picks are going for right now compared to what we used them on is so, so, so depressing. Thank god for the number 12.

Out of the 3 assistants Van Ryn definitely made the most sense to go. It's obviously tough to really evaluate assistant coaches but it seems like he was always in a weird role with the team. Like when he was first brought on board he pushed Chynoweth out of overseeing the defence which left...

I know the contract wouldn't have aged well but I would have liked to grab Tuch.

I'm not super attached to Carlo but yeah I feel like we need a similar type of RHD on the roster specifically because Tanev's health is obviously going to always be a bit of a wild card. If/when he goes down Danford (at least not yet) or Villenueve won't be able to cover those minutes.

Every new reveal of this trade made it worse for Chicago. Byram for 4th overall? And they took on Greenway who had 1 goal last season and a $4mil cap hit? And they gave up the 45th overall pick? And they gave up a seemingly serviceable 6'8" 25-year old depth defenceman? Make me very curious...

There were talks of him potentially being bought out. So I'm sure the Sabres are just glad to clear that cap hit.

Phew.

Yeah, Bob on a short-term deal: mildly interested. Anything over 3 years, and even that's pushing it, absolutely not.

I think the 9th overall pick has a ton of value, more so than in other years. There's legit 9 guys who I've seen projected to go top-5 in different rankings, and there's a seemingly noticeable drop-off after that. So being able to guarantee at least one of those guys are available is pretty big.

I sleep significantly better at night knowing that we aren't giving Boston our pick this year. If that fell into the 6-10 range, where this years draft is still very strong, that would have been catastrophic. Obviously the deal is a giant bust regardless for us considering Carlo's play, but I'm...

Ah, I was wondering why Brandon Baddock went so soon (no disrespect to him).

That's not even the best one:

Vibes are insane compared to a couple months ago haha.

I think Stolarz will definitely rebound, especially with a better team in front of him. It's just the injury stuff that scares me.

Rielly-Carlo could easily be our "bottom" pairing this season with Raddysh, McCabe, Tanev, and OEL above them.

He did this playing alongside JJ Moser, who has some Jake McCabe vibes, so I wonder if that'll be a pairing here to allow Tanev some easier minutes at his age alongside OEL or Rielly.
