If we’d have offered him 4.5-5 mill for one year he’d have come 100% and try and get a bigger contract next year , I just would have done it if I were the gm to possibly land a 2nd and 3rd type return at the deadline , he just fetched 2 2nds yes I’m well aware nobody wants to come here which is why I want to get as many picks as possible ,and I do think if we overpaid someone like dzingel he would of came. Jake Gardner seems teams are scared off from his back and if I had to guess he’s probably looking at offered as high as 6 mill x3 maybe , maybe he’d take 1 x 8 and try and prove he’s worth the big deal and that’s something I would do again only to land as many top picks for the draft as possible , I know it won’t happen but that’s something I’d look into as of right now outside Jake Gardner I don’t recall anyone else worth even looking at filppula got a no trade clause ??? LOL ffs man

Man wanted to draft Samuel fagemo so bad and the l.a kings already signed him , that was quick as f*** , hope he just turns out to be ok

Ryan dzingel to carolina 2 years at only 6,75 mill ... sounds really low to me , I’d have signed him to a higher cap hit for one year and shipped him for picks at the deadline canes owner must love that contact lol

Probably to blame for Rasmussen lol , good riddens for that alone ... basically told to be quiet this draft and be a good boy , and outside veleno and zadina who fell to them like you said what’s so great? mcisaac ,regula,petruzzelli,cholowski? Can’t see too many guys he might have had his hands on last five years Would say he didn’t have nearly as much intake on the euro guys like berggren,hronek.lindstrom,larsson,kivenmaki etc..... and id say maybe outside his apparently like for tuomisto we told him to be a nice boy this year and went with our euro scouts this draft anyways I think it was time for a change , I’m glad he’s gone and hopefully he’ll enjoy edmonton

Buffalo is horses*** so I wouldn’t put too much stock into it , he plays a ton of minutes ands puts up 40+ a year , we have no one like that right now

Totally forgot sabres got Colin Miller , so that’s miller,dahlin,montour,jokiharju .... ristolainen is 100% going to get dealt anyone do a athanasiou for ristolainen move ?hes good for 40+ pts per ... sucks for our offence up front but our back end is complete garbage very unlikely they’d deal with us but I can’t see anything else we’d part with that they’d want from us with them likely trying to compete now

Anyone know if we still have van potellberghe’s rights??? I still think the kid has some upside and will be his teams #1 goalie again , I thought he had to be signed by June and didn’t see that he got signed but I still see him on wings depth chart lists I find online

It’s possible , I don’t like the move think jokiharju is better personally ... but I’m guessing now ristolainen is available for a trade and will be dealt soon, it’s too bad we’re in the same division with buffalo Unless dahlin doesn’t have to be protected ?

I don’t know why the hawks would do this but they dealt jokiharju for Alex nylander after passing on byram as well , must really like Lucas carlsson (who I wanted badly yrs ago) just can’t see them dealing him for boqvist and beaudin alone, vlasic is a more defensive dman not a fan of this move for the hawks

Wtf lmao ... there’s a 0% chance the rangers will trade us kreider and k’andre Miller for a 7th round pick , you realize how this makes no sense at all right ? i like your child like spirit though

How long will they be out for ? And do they have replacements yet? I still think they’d have to move a roster spot I don’t know if any contending teams have any room but I’d love to see someone offer a 12.5 x5 deal so the leafs get f***ed and either have four likely late firsts or have Matthews and mariners contracts both end at the same time with the possibility they can both walk or lose one in 5 actually colorado comes of mind right away , they could do it with all that cap space and mackinnon locked in cheap for like 3-4 more years , I’d totally go for it if I were Colorado ... I’d be like I thought about it for a second and I didnt like that we had to pay 50% off barrie as well , too bad so sad Kyle

I’ve actually heard people say he might be the 3c in Colorado cause they think really high oh of jost and think he’s ready for 2c, probably a load of bs , just think that was a steep price to pay for kadri if I had to guess Toronto didn’t wanna do kadri for barrie one for one and asked for kerfoot since barrie will likely walk in a year but if I was Colorado I wouldn’t give a s*** and look elsewhere , I’m sure there was some good options they could have done without giving up both assets + 50% off barrie , Anyways it’s over now i just think like you said Colorado has byram now + makar who’s probably ready , the d core is solid for the future I’d just have been Hesitant to move 2 good assets + salary paid off on barrie for kadri alone but I’m not joe sakic

Pretty good shutdown c sure but who won’t be that much more ahead of kerfoot in points and depending who know who kerfoot plays with he might be real close + a #1 dman who are very hard to come by for teams AND you eat off 50% off the contract? That sounds very high to me , if they let a team lock up barrie longterm they’d have gotten back a hefty return anyways it is what it is , think the leafs got a steal as much as I hate to say it

Bringing up Malkin,ovie and other former khl top picks is pointless and they were all super young superstars or star players when they played in the nhl gusev is going to be 27 so obviously it makes sense to compare him with other late comers such as Panarin and dadonov my rules lmao like I’m making s*** up ... radulov started his career young and had good numbers he didn’t leave cause he wasn’t performing he left over money issues , dadonov’s nhl debug was nothing to write home about , came back all these years later and now he’s performing datsyuk also didn’t put up solid khl numbers at all so by your logic gusev should blow him out of the water since he’s dominating khl right? Stats don’t always tell everything , datsyuk also played in a time when it was harder to score goals and started at the bottom pairs with an older hull and Boyd devereaux ... though he didn’t light up stats to start he was always a good two way guy and became easily one of the best all time , What does becoming a pt per game player till gusevs age have to do with anything ? Cause he did it in the khl he’s gonna come here and do it at the same age as datsyuk?dont know what that has to do with anything well exclude away it’s not my fault two guys have come down to the nhl and had good careers, not everyone is cut out to succeed , nhl is the best league in the world a few who have tried? Whatever the numbers are 2 guys have made it basically so can’t be great odds ... 50/50 lol ya I’m sure there’s only been 6 guys in the khl that came here to try and gusev will be the third to succeed haha anyways im gusev’d out Hes going to sign with Vegas so all this crap is a waste of time Run and don’t start , you’ll never be left alone haha I think we can all agree Colorado are f***en mental for what they did

We’re talking about players coming from the khl to try and make it later in their careers , how do first round khl players and datsyuk,demitras fit into this ? As far as I see from what I can remember and I could be wrong but so far it’s been Panarin and dadonov and that’s it you think gusev has double the chance of being a star from whatever odds you’ve come up With good on ya, that’s your opinion and as long as you believe it who gives a s*** what I or anyone thinks

Ya I heard he has some back issues so that’s what’s scaring off teams probably, maybe we can sign him to a one year deal like devils did with simmonds and offer him 6-7 mill? If he does really good we can try and retain him or ... I haven’t checked the Ufa list for 2020 yet but you’d have to think with green and Gardner we’d have two of the top dmen available at the 2020 trade deadline available if he really does have back issues and is worried he might got for something like 5x3 or 6x3 if he can find a sucker ... sure habs would do it in a second since they can’t attract free agents here

Gotcha Perfect peace

I put words in peoples mouth lmao .... yes you said he could be a bust which I knew you ddidnt believe that which you Just stated cause you keep ranting on and on about the guy about how good he is so obviously you don’t believe in your heart of hearts he’s a 35-45 point guy and possibly 60-80 pts if I’m wrong let me know if you find it frustrating to talk to me just ignore my posts and move on to the next one it’s pretty simple ,I have my own opinions on s*** and we both appear to be people who aren’t easily swayed from own opinions on players and that’s fine

8 out of 10 of those guys were drafted 1st round and started their careers very young .... so basically Panarin and dadonov are the only ones who came from the khl to have success , so 2 out of 17 ... I like those odds

Arguing? Im not arguing with anyone man lmao I have my own opinion you and others don’t agree with it , so what? Doesn’t affect my life whatsoever and I feel the exact same way , I’ve already made my opinion on this matter repeatedly and Its getting tiresome , I don’t even think there’s any point in this discussion since if hes as good as everyone believes Vegas will shop out reeves and other pieces to keep the player so there’s no point in getting worked up over gusev coming here or anywhere else never compared lasch to Panarin ... yes I’m well aware khl league is a better league than the other European leagues , I was making a point if we’re going to start targeting players top point getters in the khl we might as well start targeting guys who are at the top of their leagues as well ... remember Brunner? It happens ... outside Panarin though khl or any other league everyone has been a bust , might as well take a flyer on sabres ex grigorenko who had a good season at that point ... I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard best player outside of the nhl stuff on guys which amounted to not much, at the end of the day khl and nhl are two completely different leagues I mentioned kaliyev cause i was giving an example if we had the 32nd pick in the draft traded away for gusev it could have resulted in losing a kaliyev or brink ... this whole debate is going nowhere and is pointless Nonsense lmao what prime are you talking about , he hasn’t even played 1 game in the nhl so to think he’s gonna be here in his prime and start racking up 50-70 pts easy is quite ludicrous , he’s basically an older rookie playing a new game in a smaller rink with better bigger nastier players his prime means nothing .... and I bring up 27 cause the rumours are he wants two year deal , likely scenario is he f***s off after two years and goes after big money like all the Russians seem to do , what’s he gonna do for this team in two years? Absolutely nothing . We’re not getting in the playoffs with our without him , now if we got him for a package I can live with I’d be indifferent but I’m not giving up a mcisaac or berggren for two years of a guy who’s close to 30 with 0 nhl games Trading eakens and reeves = keeping gusev Yes I’ve watched all the world tournaments , and I’ve seen lots of guys have great tournaments who’s vanished ... yes we wasted a pick on fedorov lmao I’m probably one of the only people who keep bitching at wings fans who think fedorov doesn’t deserve to get his jersey retired , the fact it still hasn’t happened is f***en ridiculous ... but that’s a discussion for another day I didn’t avoid your questions I went on a nice rant and got fed up of basically repeating the same s*** over and over cause I dare to not have the same opinion as like 8 ppl on this board lol and I can’t even enjoy my morning coffee cause it’s f***en cold now ... bastard lmao I didn’t avoid s*** man I replied no to Ryan dzingel whether it was to you or one of your minions lol hes 27 and just had 2 20 goal -40 pt seasons which to me is nothing to crazy for , and he tanked with Columbus the rest of the season , there’s a reason no ones rushing to sign him and honestly there’s no one left in free agency I’d take .... now if you say ryan dzingel one year 4,5 million? Sure I’ll take him and send his ass packing on deadline day now im pretty sure your just as fed up of this whole gusev stuff as I am so I’d rather not speak about this guy ever again in my life unless he’s a redwing or if he comes here and gets his 75 pts I’ll be here saying I was wrong , but Id still say he’d probably leave after 2 years anyways but would have been good trade bait for us ... anyways i think he’s staying in Vegas This coming from the guy I see Always going off with Mackel , majonas and countless others lmao

Russian bias? I said it earlier I was really higher than podkolzin probably more than anyone here ... I have nothing against Russian players at all

If he’s that great I doubt they’ll move him so we’re probably wasting each others times on this nonsense , they have guys like Eakins that can be easily moved to retain him

We’re just grasping at straws man , why don’t we go get guys in the shl league that dominate the standings year after year? How many times have we seen the next superstar Russian player that has come here and been a complete disaster ? Panarin is on a class of his own , if I were to bet money I sure as heck wouldn’t put money on a 27 yr old guy coming here to dominate the league 2nd round picks have only 40% chance of making the league so let’s trade them all?mcisaac?tuomisto ? ... obviously I would if it were for a younger kid with upside but not a gusev ... and just cause 2nds have a 40% chance doesn’t mean we just dismiss them , you realize as well the further we go along the draft the lower the % , were not going anywhere nex few years and gusev wouldn’t be a part of our future no matter what most people here would like to think so I’d keep mcisaac,berggren etc... and yes that 2nd cause for all we know it can be the 32nd pick and if it were this year I’d have rather have a brink,kaliyev that drops over gusev ... that’s my opinion and honestly couldn’t care less if no one agrees with me Development is over Lmao no s*** he’s 27 , let’s call up johan Ryno see if he wants to come back last I checked he had like a point a game in the shl ... 80 pts lol let me ask you something if this kid was so good and can hit 80 points of you honestly think Vegas would deal him? Cause if I’m a gm and thought this same nonsense you do I’d guarantee you Eakins and reeves would be headed out to keep this Russian phenom around . For all we know he can be going back to Russian within two years Because one is 8 years younger than the other? One would be with the club when start making noise and be in the same age group as the veleno’s and Zadina’s and don’t say we’ll need veterans on the club...I agree with that just not with someone with no nhl experience and who might not be here for long i think it’s pretty ridiculous to look at “conservative” estimates or charts of any kind to judge a player , have you watched this guy play? Maybe you have but I guarantee most just look at these charts and stats and think this guys gonna be f***en good let’s get him i am pro rebuild cause that’s the only way this team is going to get star players here , nobody wants to sign with Detroit now ,doesn’t mean I wouldn’t trade a mcisaac or a berggren for another teams young star like provorov or bean etc... just not a gusev who’s close to 30 and won’t be here when this team turns it around , makes zero sense anyways I’ve ranted off way more than I wanted to on this subject , you guys are all sold on this 27 year old kid from Russia , I’m not going to change my mind on this and neither are none of you guys and I’m fine with it and honestly don’t care Heard about him a few years ago just like I heard of all these other Russians who came here and done nothing , I’ve also heard of best player outside the nhl and countless of times they’ve amounted to nothing , so just cause this guy dominates a league like Ryan lasch dominates all the Swedish ladies lol I’m not gonna start getting ahead of myself and claim him to be the next Russian star we’ll see what he becomes ... and If he does I’m sure countless gm’s like yzerman will be scouting khl so we might get your future gusev/Panarin near enough

Yes let’s side with people who do chart projections on players ... cause that s*** always works out side with them all you want and throw away futures , it’s your right Yes I’m gonna solely look at analytic charts to dictate how each player will ever perform lmao only schmucks such as yourself would do that s*** rather than have an opinion on a player Of your own key piece in us moving forward lmfao what dream world you living in man , he wants a 2 year deal which will lead him to Ufa status and I wouldn’t bet money on a Russian coming here to play hockey , it’s all about the highest bidder with them ... and I can bet you all internet money you want right now with our without gusev we’re not making no playoffs thus making the low low low low low low cost us of a 2nd round pick to get him , a complete waste of a transaction

High percentage ? Says a chart?hes got 0 nhl points and is closer to 30 and do you actually think adding gusev will help us be a playoff team next year? Year after? If so I don’t know wtf to tell you Hey Ryan lasch has been at the top of the shl league for years , let’s offer him a contract next No it’s called not being a sheep and looking ahead instead of now , cause gusev is gonna f***en help us compete for playoffs next few years , snap out of it man your just so desperate to get in the playoffs and do nothing ya let’s pick up guys who’s never played an nhl game cause he puts pts up in Europe , let’s start looking at the shl league,Czech league etc,,, and target guys who can put up pts please oh and you realize veleno was picked 2 spots before berggren so could have easily been talking about veleno and if we dealt him for a gusev , and today you’d be bitching we dealt veleno away
