If we acquire PLD I have a hard time not seeing Reinhart as the main piece going the other way.

Columbus needs forwards.

We can’t pay PLD in two years + Reinhart + Hall etc.

And I’m not moving Cozens because he’s going to be really good, and really cheap for a few years
- sbroads24

If Hall leaves, & Jack asks out,
PLD & Cozens could still be a pretty good 1-2 punch down the middle

Olofsson +
-a 2nd?
-a Samuelsson type prospect?

Agreed
Could give us just the confidence we need to get going!
- jdfitz77

Exactly. The caps are down a starting goalie. Ovie. Top 6 forward and top 4 forward.

Gotta take advantage

Where exactly are u getting that Hutton is a “respected vet”?
- jdfitz77

What makes you think he's not a respected vet?

I thought that was part of his "gig" when we signed him.
Veteran nhl netminder who is good with the young rookie sharing the net?

Treating vets well is another unwritten rule you're not considering

You’re pretty alone in thinking Hutton/Ullmark is good enough to get us to the playoffs

I could list plenty of examples to show how a goalie upgrade helped a team,
but I’m not gonna waste any more time on something so obvious

Have a good day dude
- jdfitz77

Ok. I’m alone with Ralph and KA I guess. Have a nice day to there dude.
Go Sabres.

I actually am okay with giving up olofsson. He can’t skate and can just shoot. Way way way too one dimensional
- Sabretooth9

So the one of the most goal starved teams in the league over the last decade , should move the one dimensional goal scorer?

Olo had a poor game on Tuesday.
He's gonna plot 20 this season in 56 games.
Where are we going to replace that scoring?

Crazy to suggest that he isn't a respected vet.

Idk what you’re talking about there dude?
If u need an upgrade in a position, it’s not frowned upon

And i NEVER said he wasn’t a “respected Vet”
I’m asking you to show your work in that regard,
bc I’ve never heard him referred to in that way

Ok. I’m alone with Ralph and KA I guess. Have a nice day to there dude.
Go Sabres.
- Camel

And you & Ralph & Adams have a 1-3 team in front of you

Upgrade at goalie is SORELY NEEDED

I floated the idea of Cozens, Olofsson, and a 1st round pick for PLD and the Columbus fans asked where do they sign.
- kingcong39

That is quite a bit, especially in view that Cozens is tracking very, very well on a very good 2C trajectory.
Pass.

"He is good in the locker room"
Is the way I have read it said.

Agreed
And
A viable partner for Dahlin to "turn him loose"
IMO of course

- IonSabres

Ok.... but does that mean we shouldn’t upgrade from him if possible?
“Team” comes first imo
If that means Hutton sits or gets moved,
then so be it
I don’t think it’s a big deal whatsoever

I mean, the guy has a below .900 save%

- IonSabres

I think we’d all like to see that too
But i wonder what it is that has Ralph holding him back?
Is it the Def partner?
Is it the mediocre goaltending?
Does he just want him to get good in his own end first?
Some combination?

Promoted Tokarski to the Taxi squad

Oh poop.

He puts up Reinhart numbers, but I was told I'm wrong 🤷

So Cozens, Olo and a 1st for Reinhart?
- Powerslave

Oh poop.

See Lunaion's post. He sum's it up quickly and efficiently.

I’m just asking where you’re getting this from?

Sounds like that’s YOUR opinion,
and that’s fine
But i haven’t seen anything that shows that’s
how he’s thought of by teammates or around
the league or whatever

Again, I’m not saying he isn’t
I just haven’t heard or seen that

Screwing vets is a bad reflection on an organization.

Not saying Hutton's played well or earned any praise, but unless he's ok with going to Arizona or Rochester, its gonna smell bad.

Something outside the player/ability to consider
Franchise look to the outside free agency

Why is replacing a Vet with a better player,
en that Vet is playing POORLY,
considered “screwing him” Boss??

all teams do it, see nhl trade tracker



are we cursed because we moved steve ott?



Marcus Johansson was a well respected vet, we traded him with term



Hall signed here, and we traded Ryan O`Reilly



not a digg, every team trades respected vets
