This is Funny! I was trying to put a Trade package together in my Head for Bonk. I was gonna try it on CapFriendly. And yes I like the package, we might have to add with Mitts not signed.

He would be perfect...only downside is that it will take a couple of years to get him up here jn tbe NHL...
Maybe trade for Tanev to hold down the spot for 2 - 3 years.

Him followed by Strbak the year after would give us a nice Right Side. I mean it really looks like Adams is trying a total build by Draft picks and prospects. That's why I was thinking Justin Barron out of Montreal. He's 22 and he's playing in the NHL, he could be ready next year to play with Power or finish this year off with him and build some chemistry. I can't see how Adams can do this plan, especially if we don't start playing a lot better, by the time you have drafted the pieces and they are Ready. Tage, Dahlin, Tuch, Cozens are gonna want out cause there sick of losing and spinning there wheels as there career goes by by.

You get Konecny back which = Mitts. But then your giving up a very promising forward in JJ to wait on a D-man who wont be ready for years.

We have first overall D-men who aren't at their full potential yet(And quite frankly wont be for a few more years). Why try to acquire guys who are years from being difference makers on a team that needs them NOW..

It makes no sense for this team IMO.

They need to acquire those types of players but who are already established. Can't wait for 19 year old's anymore.

Mitts alone isn't getting you Konecny, his contract situation hurts that.

Without contracts they're pretty evenly matched players is all I was getting at.

Obviously Mitts not having a contract hurts the value a bit. But he is still an RFA.

How dumb is it you cant discuss if the player would sign there or not before the trade is made. NHL always shooting themselves in the feet with these dumba$$ rules.

But you can trade whatever you want now for "future considerations" whatever the frank that means.

I think there is a good Chance Greenway is on the 4th line next year and that opens up at least one roster spot in the top 9.

I think the Top 9 is just about set for next year.

Skinner Tage Tuch
Quinn Cozens Peterka
Benson Mittelstadt Kulich
XXXX XXXX Greenway

I think Mittelstadt resigns and Buffalo moves on from Girgensons and Okposo.

Two vets are signed for the 4th line.

Rosen as the extra in NHL

Savoie/Ostlund in the AHL

Terry adds a jumbo hot pretzel with jalapeno infused nacho cheese to the menu and us fans discuss another top 10 draft pick in 25'

Very interesting. I still think Marjala could surprise people.

Do you know how the NHLe stat is calculated?

Every league has different values for point totals compared to what the player would produce in the NHL.

Well for the Sabres, it's how your Dish is rated at the annual Adams BBQ. They certainly don't use there analytics

Gotta give to get. Bonk is highly ratedall around 2 d PIring Dman with1st PIring upside. At 18, when developed properly would make an excellent patner for either Dahlin or Partner. Guus liketbjs don't grow on trees at RHD.

JJP is solid and developing very, very nicely indeed. Konecny rwplaces his output on wing, and Benson can play in his spot. Kulich and Rosen coming up also softens that blow.

Adding in Tanev fills the void while Bonk develops.

Sure beats Adams sitting on his ass with his thumbs up there...fills alot of needs IMO.
