So then wouldn't the preferable route be to not take any money back?

I get the idea behind it, but they should be trying to rid themselves of that cap hit to sign Reinhart, not add a 30 year old anchor IMO

They're certainly not trying to move him because he's good

The whole idea is to move Skinner for Duchene and then add to have Seattle take Duchene in the expansion draft. Thus having $9 mil in extra cap space this offseason.

I’m of the thought of you have a much greater shot in having Skinner waive to go to Nashville than Seattle.

Fans allowed in NYS arenas coming in two weeks. Can't say I'm interested in going.

Would not be interested either BUT it is solely cause these guys suck and I refuse to give the Pegulas any more of my money.

With the 10pm curfew back under enforcement, I wonder if these arenas will move games up to 6pm instead of 7 to accommodate.

Nope, they have two young kids in the AHL and from what I am hearing they are adding another goalie in the mix

I would hope they'd have no interest in Rittich. I don't see him as any type of upgrade.

I mean he is better than Hutton IMO but by how much is the real question and is it worth it.

I have no idea if the Sabres are interested I just know Calgary is looking to move him

According to sources (in my head), Skinner and Mittlestadt for Duchene is gaining steam

Losing Mittlestadt is addition by subtraction, and, unfortunately, since we have a coach determined to bury Skinner, losing him is a plus too. I'd trade the two of them for one really solid third liner who gives me something good each night. More than we've gotten from Skinner or Mittlestadt for 2 seasons.

How exactly does Mitts affect us negatively?
He’s not even playing
Are u saying he’s a problem “in the room”?

30 yo Duchene, playing 3 more games and 2:30 ATOI more per game; has 1 point more than 36 YO Eric Staal. He also had 5 less points last season.

Do we really want to hitch our wagon to that guy for 6 years?
I'd rather fire Ralph and put Skinner on L1 with Jack and SM for a reunion tour.

A month ago
Ny was getting around 12000 cases a day

Still getting 10000 cases a day


Not sure why everything was shut down a month ago but now 1600 fans can attend



My guess is it will be 7pm starts for tv ratings

do we have to protect 11?

I don't see that many that need to be protected

- homiedclown


I don’t think so
The basic options are:
7 forwards
3 defensemen
1 goalie

OR

8 skaters (F and D combined any way u want)
1 goalie

But i don’t believe there’s anything that says you HAVE to protect at least 9
