that would be a major deal for sure...maybe Johnson +?

[savardandjokinen]

I'd assume Sergachev would go back in the deal. Can't see Buffalo wanting to get older

Makes a lot of sense actually.

TB set to lose Stralman, Girardi, and Coburn off the defense after this season.

TB also going to be in a world of hurt cap wise without dealing some guys.

Good match for a deal but blows my mind the Sabres would be willing to lose Ristolainen.

Ristolainen is modern day Phaneuf. Best years are first 3.

And that sequence (note Lanny getting wrestled down too) caused confusion and Flames got a too many men penalty.

As a Flames fan in 2019, you cant watch from 19:58 forward from the video and not have your heart race a bit 33 years later...can you imagine what that was like at that time in 1986 given the rivalry and what the Flames were on the verge of?

Back when spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

I'm missing something

2014-15 Buffalo Sabres NHL 78 8 12 20 26 -32
2015-16 Buffalo Sabres NHL 82 9 32 41 33 -21
2016-17 Buffalo Sabres NHL 79 6 39 45 58 -9
2017-18 Buffalo Sabres NHL 73 6 35 41 48 -25
2018-19 Buffalo Sabres NHL 61 5 32 37 30 -22

Last 4 seasons are fairly identical. 1st much worse statistically

Basically what I am getting at is that he has had no improvement defensively. Good on Offense, hard shot, hits hard.

Basically new Phaneuf

Are we talking about a trade mid game? That would be fun.

I wonder if the Flames will go after Panarin if they can't get Stone.

Disagree. Woodward’s was good. E = NG. They’re more like Sears at Northhill Mall.

I think Columbus has shown that they're going all in this year, will probably let Panarin walk.

Outside of CBJ not trading him, he wouldn't sign in Calgary

[Brick]

Columbus has said that they may still trade Panarin. Signing Dzingel was insurance in case that happens.

Did they really say that?

The Lightning are head and shoulders better than the rest of the league. No idea why they would make a blockbuster deal at the deadline to change team chemistry heading into the playoffs. This seems like more of a draft weekend move.

I don’t think CBJ moves him. They are clearly all in for the playoffs right now.

Yeah, but Kekalainen also said that the only way he moves Panarin would be if there was an impact roster player coming back. No one is making that trade for a pending UFA.

ExcerptsfFrom The Athletic: "How Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen will approach the final 24 hours before the NHL trade deadline

The Blue Jackets are still listening to offers for Panarin, but the demand — a trade that helps Blue Jackets “today and tomorrow” as Kekalainen has said repeatedly — hasn’t changed.

“The answer is still the same, as I’ve said consistently,” Kekalainen said Sunday on a teleconference. “Only if there is an offer that really makes sense in the short term as well as the long term will we be moving either one of those guys (Panarin or goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky).

One needn’t strain too hard, however, to see Kekalainen’s moves as a precursor to a Panarin trade, a bold series of steps that have not only affected the trade market in the Blue Jackets’ favor but also have helped set the market value for a high-end offensive player.

With Duchene, a point-a-game center, off the board, the number of first-line players believed to be available is down to two — Panarin and left winger Mark Stone, also of Ottawa.

The number of teams looking for such a player, even as a rental, is larger than two. Winnipeg, Nashville, Calgary, Boston and, possibly, Vegas are all in the hunt for an elite player.

Kekalainen hasn’t been offered a deal yet that has compelled him to trade his dynamic left winger. But when Stone is traded in the next 24 hours — that’s when, not if — the market for Panarin could become intense.

One could say the Blue Jackets have made the Panarin follow-up trade — the one for Dzingel, also a left winger — pre-emptively, allowing Kekalainen to wait out a possible Panarin trade closer to the deadline without having to worry about the corresponding move.

A trade of Panarin would almost certainly bring a roster player back to the Blue Jackets, as Kekalainen’s demand would indicate. But it would also allow the Jackets to recoup some of the draft picks that have been traded in the Duchene and Dzingel trades.

Kekalainen is in for a busy final lap before the trade deadline. There’s no guarantee he does or doesn’t trade Panarin."

[Badgers Nose]

Thanks, that’s very informative. I’m out of forums thank yous.

Was Calgary close to getting Panarin? Maybe Stone is a red herring.
