Make a push for Lucic now.

Adding Bishop in goal and two power forwards. Yes please.

I wonder what he wants on his next contract?

Excellent trade value. Should do well with our stud D corps.

We're a 1st line RW away from being back in the playoffs,

Is it Bishop or Elliott heading to Calgary? Told the Flames expect to leave Buffalo with a starting goalie.

Not a fan of Elliott, but for the price I have absolutely no problem with this. He's arguably better than Reimer, and his contract works for me.

I like it. Elliot gets to prove he can carry the mail as a 60+ game guy and play for a new contract. He'll be very motivated.

given that they have talked to Ben Bishop about a contract extension, I think that 3rd in 2018 will go to St Louis without a doubt.

Look at it this way, Elliott and Tkachuk for 35. If someone woulda told me that this morning, I'd have been ok with it to say the least.

Gary just said it was a conditional 3rd *ours* to STL if he resigns.

Not without shipping out some salary or miraculously getting Monahan and/or Gaudreau to agree to bridge deals.

Save percentage leaders since 2011-12. I'll never get the lack of love for Brian Elliott.
