Preseason is over.  Time to get to the real season and do it in style like only Jagr can.

 

Sounds done

petan and dano - could do.

I've noticed a remarkable absence of tweets about teams calling the Jets to express interest in Petan and Dano.  Therein lies the rub.

Since the talk is now about Maroon, the question is where do we hypothetically play him?  The only place that really makes any sense at all (assuming everyone is healthy) is on the 2nd line with Little and Perreault.  And that means Roslovic, Tanev, Dano, Hendricks, Mattias, Petan are all out.  Which I am fine with -  that is not a reason to not do it.  Rather, what is the value of that Maroon upgrade over the options currently available to us (let's say Roslovic) versus how much value will we have to give up to make that upgrade?  I'm not sure that value is worth it, and that doesn't include an even less tangible value like giving a young player like Roslovic valuable playoff experience.

Just typing out some of the mental cud I'm chewing on.  Moo.

My snide remarks aside, I'd rather not play against Kane in the playoffs.   D gotta keep their heads up!

I'd think Lemieux would generate more interest then Petan or Dano...

He's always been a better prospect than those 2.

I'd stay away from Maroon.  Very cold/hot type player and moreso frigid lately.

Considering Myers, Roslo and Armia are all in our lineup and we're near the top of the league... seems okay

Sabres just traded for the equivalent of Nic Petan because he's pals with Eichel...

1st rounder becomes a 2nd if Kane doesn't re-sign.

Sharks fans:  hope for the 2nd. 

Wish we could have got that condition.  Oh well

So

Myers, Roslo, Armia, Lemieux, 5th round pick

Bogo, maybe 1st round, Dan O'Regan, 4th Round, Kasdorf

I'll still take this...  slightly more even but not much - still a huge win if its a 2nd round pick

did the Sabres retain any salary?  Sounds like the Blues are retaining some of Stastny's.

Very true.

Im surprised by some fans on HF being upset with trading a first rounder.  This is what REAL contenders do, especially when they have a cupboard stocked full of youth and prospects.  Even if the Jets got swept out, its the right move to try and win a cup.  Jets are a legit Cup contender.  Man...that sounds good to say.  When was the last time...

not sure I want to give up a guy like Lemieux for a rental.

Wow Buffalo missed the boat on getting a 1st rounder for Kane... they had offers earlier in the year for a 1st and more and were to greedy.

20 minutes left and several talented UFA's still on the board.... I wonder if we can fleece someone with a crap pick for a rental?
