  1. Yeah Stillman sucks. Sorry Buffalo but I think Van got the better of the deal. When Stillman was in Vancouver he was an absolute No Show. Vancouver gets a prospect that was averaging a point a game in the OHL.

  2. reminds you of the Legendary Nick Baptiste , who is currently , um……well anyway.
    Another 'Couldnt Miss' like Justin Bailey was right?
    He's on a line with Baptiste as I recall…..😋

  3. Instead of the Arizona Goalie how about Chychrun and Bjugstad for Savoie, a !st, 2nd, Portillo and Asplund. Love the Cam Talbot for a 4th and Comrie idea. Demko is a no go he's extremely overrated.

  4. One way they can go is they can now include a dman in a trade for a dman, if that team is going to need bodies on the blueline, especially a tank team.

    Something to consider though, Adams was mindful of sending Reinhart to a playoff team. On the verge of being a playoff team, might he have this line of thinking when it comes to sending guys to teams like ARI, especially guys who have been here a while, and just not wanting to do that to them? For example, imagine Girgensons having never sniffed the playoffs in his career suddenly going to tank team. Adams isn’t going to do that. Unless maybe he lost respect for the player – idk if he’s had it with Olofsson like some of us have. But I’m just not sure you can count on Adams throwing in a roster player in just any trade.

  5. Looks like someone who didn't do well in the tire fire known as the Vancouver Canucks. Most didn't look good until he got here. Donny and the boys may get his best. I heard his 22 yo season had better analytics.

  6. Not loving any of those trades except #1, would definitely do that, but i'm afraid Phx is holding out for Kulich. I Would not, in any way, trade Kulich as part of a deal. Almost anyone but him !

  7. So we trade for Nick Bonino and who sits as a result?

    The Demko idea is HORRIBLE for this year. And if you analyze mid season goalie trades, they historically rarely work! Do t even consider it. I’m off season, maybe.

    How many goalies are you trading for? 🤦🏼‍♂️ Portillo has no value

  8. We Canuck fans thank you, our expansion cousins, for taking on our trash as your (apparent) treasure.

  9. Joe give up on the chycrun shit . Adams isn’t going to give up tons of picks and prospects. We need players who want to be here and I’m guessing he doesn’t want to be here .

  10. I watched Riley Stillman when he was in the OHL with Oshawa. At best he will be a 7th D man for Buffalo aka he will spend most of his time in Rochester. Adams got him to replace Casey Fitzgerald
    Hopefully Adams can trade for a veteran stay at home , big physical D man by Fridays deadline . Luke Schenn Van Tyler Myers Van, , Josh Brown Arizona, Gavrikov CBJ, Peeke CBJ , Parayko Stl. Or , D. Savard Mtl, would be a nice addition .
    Love the nick bonino SJ trade idea. Other forwards who could help with the penalty kill are Colin Blackwell Chi or Alex Kerfoot Tor.
    Thanks for the video.

  11. Id Rather Give The Yotes Noah Ostlund. My Trade is Chykrun and Crouse for a 2024 1st 2023 2nd , Victor Olofsson Prospects Eric Portillo and Noah Ostlund.

  12. 1. if the sabres are retaining that much money, they should get at least a 2nd. minny is eating 1.75 on ROR.
    2. i like the idea of you guys getting talbot, but comrie and a 4th probably doesn't do it. man up and send a 2nd.
    3. if bonino's still worth anything, meh, okay. can he play a defensive role?
    4. mittelstadt and a 2nd for demko? you're on drugs. there's zero chance that package gets you anything close to demko. add UPL and cozens and you may have a deal.
    5. vejmelka is what he's ever going to be. he can steal you games and can also lose you games. keep savoie and kulich, i'd say mittelstadt should go in this deal, and jokiharju, portillo and ryan johnson both, a 1st, ostlund/rosen, and a 2nd. for this package, get chychrun, vejmelka, and josh brown. might be a bit much, but you get a starting goalie, a top pairing dman, and a bottom pairing dman with some muscle. hell, give them all three 2nds if they kick in lawson crouse.

    portillo and ryan johnson won't sign, if you hold them past the deadline, i think it's a mistake. in AZ they'll have opportunity. waive comrie now, buy him out at year's end.

  13. The Canucks are much improved with him out of the line up. Did Buffalo actually scout this guy, lots of luck Sabre fans.

  14. As a Canucks fan, i am sad to see Stillman go, he is an important part of the Canucks' D this year

  15. Like the Demko , Chychrun ideas. Don't think the Press really want to lose Saros unless it's for something really good in return

  16. Casey, i think is more valueable as a teammate/morale for the core group of guys then he is on the stat sheets. No need to rock the boat. Dahlin and Casey seem to be as tight as Eichs/Rhino were. Lets sign Dahlin long term before we make a Casey trade.

  17. Joe , why would we take on $5 million just for a forth round pick. Mine as well trade for Kane at that point.

  18. I would not trade Savoie. No way. One concern with Chychrun is he gets hurt a lot and doesn’t play full seasons. Not worth it.

  19. As a Canucks fan, this deal was miraculous for us. We get a decent prospect and give up our worst defenceman in decades

  20. Is Stillman a bad D-man……yea sure. Is he INSTANTLY the toughest guy on the roster……yea sure. He'll prolly out-hit everyone too. The Sabres do actually need that desperately so i dont hate the trade. 👍👍

  21. Can the Sabres just throw some cash on the deal too with the coyotes? Or maybe we can rent them the harbor center toss tht in the deal too

  22. I like all the trades except for last one we can't get rid of Savoie add Middlestat in there and another prospect and I would like Crouse over Arizona's goalie

  23. Still man may not be the best skilled player but the reason I love this trade is because he’s a physical asshole who will go out and drop the gloves

  24. Scratching my head on this trade? Nothing against Stillman but from where I sit the Sabres got fleeced here. Stillman's talent does not appear to come close to Broom and he is much older? Broom was a damn good prospect. That said, I certainly hope I am proven wrong here. Now I hear that the Rangers picked up Patrick Kane for only a 2nd & a 4th draft pick. Surely we could have matched that and added Bloom. You would think Kane would have loved to play for his home town and clearly it would not have cost that much. The salary cap is no issue for the Sabres. ………………….As I said, scratching my head!
