Thread: Buffalo Sabres 2024-25 Playoff Roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Viqsi</b></div><div>The rule of thumb for determining a viable Jenner proposal for Sabres fans is as follows:
Ask yourself "Would this package be acceptable for Alex Tuch?"
If NO: It is not acceptable for Jenner.
If YES: It <strong>might</strong> be acceptable for Jenner, but don't hold your breath.

The reasons why y'all wouldn't want to trade Tuch are largely the same reasons why we don't want to trade Jenner. And when I say "we", I include not just fellow Jackets fans, but also CBJ ownership, the CBJ front office, and Jenner himself - repeatedly, publicly, and explicitly.</div></div>

Beautifully written.

Thread: If The Leafs Lose to Boston

Already drinking early, eh? No but seriously the Jackets trade really doesn’t make any sense. Jarnkrok does nothing for the Jackets and I am pretty sure Gudbranson is fine staying where he is at.

Thread: getting out

Laine is better than Norris. While both have had a hard time staying healthy, Laine when healthy has the higher ceiling and the shorter contract. Ottawa would need to add.

Marner holds all cards. If he moves it will be on his terms. Tor is screwed until next summer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Viqsi</b></div><div>Absolutely not a snowball's chance in hell from the Jackets. You've got the picks going the wrong way and even then it's an easy no; the idea behind Provorov being here is that he's a stopgap we'll eventually move on from to make room for developing kids, and instead you have us committing much more cap space and money and more term to someone who's basically the same except he's smaller and has a concerning injury history.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>I've got no time for more lazy defensive players on the team.</div></div>

Whoa! Lazy…Laine has actually gotten better defensively while in Columbus. The only reason to trade him is that he possibly wants to move on and he has had injury issues. But when he is healthy he has been decent defensively and pretty effective offensively.

Thread: Yousketuvastoay MontRoyal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>I actually agree here, but it's splitting hairs. A cap dump requires the dumping team to be up against the cap. With Price on LTIR, Montreal is still $10+M away from that. Ex: Kampf has more value than Dvorak, but because Toronto is way up against the cap, Kampf is a cap dump.

He's not a "cap dump", but he's definitely not an asset Columbus is interested in. We might claim him off waivers for free to try him out as veteran depth, but we've got plenty of bottom-sixers. No need to actually pay for more.</div></div>

Ok, maybe not a cap dump per se but he literally has no value and would likely take him going on waivers to get him to move. But the Jackets are not interested in him. And we certainly are not giving any assets for him. 🙂

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>Jackets aren’t interested in selling that low on laine</div></div>

I don’t know if I would agree. That 2nd is more like a late 1st. Really it depends on what the trade accomplishes for the Jackets. The Jackets would not be retaining anything on Laine’s contract. That money could be used to secure via FA or trade for a true 1C. Not saying it is great value but could be appealing if their is an ulterior motive.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habitantlecolon</b></div><div>I can keep him and be under the cap I'm selling him at a pretty low price to open a spot in the roster!</div></div>

Dvorak has underperformed the past few seasons and has been injured a lot. He isn’t worth his cap hit. At this point he would be a cap dump to the CBJ. Maybe not in your view but in the CBJ’s view it would be.

Thread: what the leafs shold of did at deadline

CBJ reject. Nylander has improved his value over the past few weeks. He has performed very well with the Jackets and right now I can’t see the Jackets moving him right now.

Thread: Joker Laugh

The only way the Jackets trade works is if the new GM doesn’t want Severson. However, Severson was not that bad. He had his gaffe moments but he does have the ability to really affect the game from an offensive standpoint. If I am the new GM I keep Severson. Skinner is would only block prospects development.

Thread: What if

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I don't really see the point from Anaheims perspective. We don't need to be getting a 3rd center with a top 3 pick.

Is the gap between Zegras and KJ covered by the separation of Celebrini to Lindstrom? Probably, but I also ask why CBJ would do this when it's known they could use another top 6 C. This just feels like shuffling pieces around for sh*ts and giggles.

I also fail to see what bringing up Gauthier has to do with anything.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruceBanner</b></div><div>I don't understand why Columbus would think to do this. Even if Kent wants out ( rumours) you would not miss on Celebrini even if you are wealthy at centre.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Celebrini is projected to be a franchise player. Zegras, Johnson, and Lindstrom are probably elite when it's all said and done, but not franchise cornerstones.

If we get 1OA for the first time in franchise history and<em> trade it</em>, I'm personally moving the team to Arizona.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>That's a possibility but Stamkos has made over $100m in his hockey career and he has several business interests on going in Tampa. If he leaves Tampa, it would likely be to chase another cup. It's won't be for a one year payday.</div></div>

See the moves here are to make the Jackets a playoff team. Obviously he not guaranteed a cup but the Jackets need to make moves to get better. This is a low risk type of move that doesn’t screw the Jackets or the player long term. TB just isn’t going to have the money to keep Stamkos wihout screwing them somewhere else on the roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Might as well hang on to Laine because Stamkos isn't signing w/ Columbus. And the Hawks aren't making that deal either. Too much of a gamble for a rebuilding team. Laine needs to return to the ice and show that he's still a high level player before he's worth that sort of return from the Hawks.</div></div>

I wouldn’t say he won’t. Stamkos has won multiple cups. Right now he might be more interested in money considering his career is going into the twilight years. He would have a huge role on the Jackets very similar to how Pavelski has helped the Stars.

No. The Canes are competing for a cup. Svechnikov is a part of the core. That core is still very young. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. He is a hell of a scorer.
