Imagine arguing that a guy who's only association with NHL clubs has been as a member of the media is 100 times more connected than a guy who played 14 seasons in the NHL which included being teammates with multiple NHL executives including the GM of the primary club involved in this madness.

I agree. You missed the point (Matt was drafted 5th). It's a value conversation...and the easiest common currency to convert to in hockey is draft picks.

Matt is a top 3 draft pick in most drafts.
Eichel is a top 1-2 draft pick in most drafts with an injury risk.

The two are not separated by 2 additional 1sts and some mid rounders...

Sounds like someone you'd want to avoid at all costs if you're an nhl executive looking to ensure integrity of an ongoing negotiation.

Caplan was given an update from Adams himself, so that you can at least feel like legitimate.

I feel if I had spent my time commenting in this thread on the treadmill I would be 2 pounds lighter instead of twice as frustrated 🙃

If this is the offer Buffalo needs to send a legitimate top 6 RW forward back, or it hurts Calgary too much this year.

Best case. Monahan plus parts for Eichel.

MT to St Louis at same time for offseason rumour package.

I believe Macfarlane when he said a few days ago here that he wouldn't post anything from unconnected sources.


Hopefully this gets done tonight. Don't wanna see the Flames play games with this hanging over their heads

That, or exactly the person you want to manipulate.

I'm not disputing that he's a breadcrumber, as you said. He has a weekly podcast to fill, and he talks to everyone around the league.

He's no Bobby Mack.

I am okay with Tkachuk as the center piece, because of his contract status, and because he hasn't seemed happy here since last year. And I think the top line would be fine without him for 3 months.

And I am okay with Valimaki being included, now that we have seen the growth from Kylington. In the summer, I would have been much less keen about his inclusion.

I read Weekes' rumour like this;

Tkachuk
Valimaki, or Zadorov
1st
One of Zary, Pelletier, or Coronato
One of Poirier, Stromgren, or whatever

If Valimaki, Sabres retain $1.8M, if Zadorov, no retention

Certainly feels like Calgary is going all in. Does Vegas have guts to call? Or will they fold?

Hey Kevyn, Monahan is pretty captain material too. You'd love him. Btw, do you like toast?

I don't see how Vegas has the pieces to match this.

Not off the roster, and not off the prospect pool.

Especially not if there's salary retention involved.

I wonder if this means Monahan has waived.

Monahan going the other way would be so much better. I imagine the futures would need to better though

The difference between Valimaki and Zadorov is a lot more than $1.8M
