No offense taken nor given my friend, just didn't want to sound like I was misrepresenting or misquoting you.

I'm getting pretty nervous about the draft. You think we're trading up tonight?

- QuinnFan

Yes. I want them too.

I really like Nabers and Odunze.

The theme I’m seeing now. Is QBs go 1-4 which would be a massive help for the trade up.

I don't necessarily disagree, so what would you do for this roster to make the cap work, realistically? Trade Johnson?
- TheSabresTaco


What is the timeline you are thinking of needing to trade Johnson out?

He is still on his ELC for next year, then likely a bridge after that right?
Why not trade out someone else like Samuelsson at that point

Because it's not realistic. To Adams, he fills a hard to play against role that compliments the roster.

As for Ryan Johnson, no other prospect is as close as he is. We complain a lot around here about leaving room for guys who are actually ready. Kevyn's stance, as it has always been, is that they will play when they are ready to play.

These other guys, they can be held down justifiably. Johnson though is pounding on the door. Maybe you can get away with a year, or half year. No, you're never forced to trade him at this point of his career. But he's useful and cheap.

I personally think he makes the roster. But we were also told Kevo was interested in further changing the defense. Which probably includes Joker being traded but is there an add? And that add suddenly gets in the way of Johnson. So what the (frank) do I know.

Yeah, kinda need 4 to go and potentially some of those to be trade ups, for it to work. But I've got the feeling Beane wants to replace Diggs now instead of waiting...only those two would ensure that.

I'm going to freak out. The waiting is killing me.

Team A has cup aspirations because they are a top team

Team A signs reeves

Rat, what's happening down there:

Per Paul Maurice, Ryan Lomberg (illness) made the trip to Tampa but won’t play tonight.

They need another day of him feeling good before he’s allowed around the team.

Kyle Okposo will draw into his first playoff game since 2016.

- washedup20

Caramba

Tarasenko - Barkov - Reinhart
Verhaeghe - Lundell - Tkachuk
Luostarinen - Stenlund - Rodrigues
Cousins - Lorentz - Okposo

Only reason I see is Mo wants 2 centers for when one is kicked out of face offs. ?
Idk, rather see Gadjovich on that wing, but maybe Mo not trusting him to be disciplined enough to avoid taking penalties.

He’s not a great skater. Sorry. Most scouting report says β€œsolid skater.”

That means not great. In the nhl solid does help you.

Ask Reinhart. His biggest knock was his skating and speed. The guy improved it tremendously

If you can’t skate. I don’t want you

- Sabretooth9

The guy Weights 230lbs, like I said he's a good Skater for a man his Size. Never said Great. Again your lack of understanding is Funny

Let's see what Lindy thinks of these guys. Possible that some Donnie favorites, like Samualsson, see a big change and maybe even get moved.

It's the best part of this honeymoon. Summer's were long knowing Donnie was just going to keep doing to same things.

I provide excellent hockey opinions that are actually correct.

Washedup and buff36 wanting heavier teams isn’t the answer

With the game getting even faster, you have to think guys like Reaves will be seen less and less. But I'm curious, does anyone think a guy like Matt Rempe will last 5 years in the league or more? He's averaged 5:38 of TOI through 17 games, so I'd imagine that's unsustainable long term, but are we still going to have teams with 11 active forwards + 1 fighter?
- QuinnFan


Matt Rempe scored the opening goal of the series.

The game is 10x more physical in the playoffs. These players are still needed until hitting and fighting is taken away from the game.

He also said Greenway was better than Crosby so I don't really consider the source reliable.
