The AFC will go down like this:

Houston beats Cleveland
Chiefs beats fins
Bills beat Steelers

Baltimore beats Houston
Bills beat Chiefs

Bills beat Ravens


The NFC goes:

Bucs beat the Eagles
Rams beat the Lions
Dallas beats Greenbay

Niners beat the Bucs
Rams beat the Cowboys

Niners beat the Rams

Superbowl will be Bills/Niners - and the Bills should win.

I'll bet my hockeybuzz clout on it.

Thought it also centered around the Ducks top end pick in that draft as well (2021, McTavish).

I don't recall how much legitimate interest there was from the Ducks.

We all know Calgary and Vegas were serious. Think Minnesota was too. At the time, I can't imagine he'd pull any more than 2 pieces of Zegras, Drysdale, McTavish or the 2022 1st.

If you consider Vegas put the "best deal" on the table, other than Calgary (maybe Tkachuk declined the opportunity to re-up..probably) then you need to think Anaheim's offer was less.

Drysdale, 2022 1st, Gibson or Perrault/Henrique. I dunno.

1 season of Tkachuk is more valuable than 3 seasons of Krebs.

#Flyers engaged upwards of 18-20 teams that Cutter Gauthier would sign with over the last weeks.

GM Danny Briere and president Keith Jones both traveled to Sweden to see Gauthier at #WorldJuniors to try and attempt to get everything back on rails, before pulling trigger today.

It’s crazy to me NHL prospects have so much say or pull.

You get drafted in the NBA or NFL, and you are playing for that team

You get drafted in the nhl and go to college. You can get traded by not talking to your team or pull Cal Peterson, Eric Portillo.l, Jimmy Vesey , and the list goes on and on

I have Ravens/Niners. I'm a little scared that the Bills will eventually be gassed. They will have been playing do-or-die football for almost two months now. I think they beat the Steelers, and the Chiefs at home, but I don't like the idea of going to Baltimore with them being that much fresher.

Think it's more he Talks with the Answer Machines then actual Conversations! He has Conversations with Pegula about no one returning his messages.

Plus the Bills have been pushing the Depth chart pretty Heavy on Defense and it could get worse.

I have held all season that this team will live and die by its offense, and I still do. The defense just needs to not kill them.

Valid, the Bills team is playing well...if Allen turns on God mode then no team has a chance, regardless of injuries or duration of do or die scenarios.

if Allen continues to be bi-polar - I think you are right.

With Drysdale now in Philly, resolving their PP QB need, I’d love to pry Oliver Bonk out of Philly’s system.
Wonder what it would take.
How about Mitts and JJ

Sure, but if that Defense hadn't held it together the last 4 or so games we aren't talking about the playoffs.

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.
