you're being very optimistic on those UFA deals my friend

I mean I agree with the title but then all you do is shuffle the deck chairs in the bottom 6 and 2nd pair ...

Not much sense for Ottawa in trading Joseph for a pick. His speed, defensive play and tenacity make him way more valuable on the team than off. Only scenario where I could reasonably see him getting moved would be if Ottawa added a left AND right winger to the top 6, and a 3C. Only scenario where he's not at least a 3rd liner here.

I mean yeah, but honestly if we’re like bottom ten or what ever we could get a decent or good return for those guys I mean we’re to going to win anything the next two years with Ovi let’s be real

Not going to win*

no, it'll cost you more in AAV for all three of those guys. I'd bet Toffoli comes in around 6, maybe more, Amadio gets 3-3.5, and DeMelo probably gets between 3-4

“Maybe” from Buffalo
I think we’d look at other options first though
