1. 

2. Wonder what the offer was?

3. Kevyn sent Allvin a you up text

4. Honestly, good job Adams. He wouldn’t be doing his job if he didn’t at least call and ask. If Rutherford/Allvin said “sure I’ll do it for Power, Rosén, and a first” you do it and figure out the rest later because that’s highway robbery.

5. Power, 1st rounder and one of Ostlund,Rosen or Heleinus?

6. Please tell me Buffalo was only in on Hughes to gauge a price to set up future negotiations on EP40. Why would Hughes stay here long term, plus an undersized offensive D-man is the last thing this team needs – even as amazing as Hughes is

7. I mean our 1st is usually a lot more valuable than 90% of the league so why not try

8. To some degree doesn’t really do much for me.

9. If it was an unprotected 1st this year, and next year , and Bowen B, and Rosen…. I’d be in.
   But Dahlin is our guy. And we hope power grows into being his #2.
   We don’t NEED another D star, as much as we need growing depth

10. So is KA being fired or working on another blockbuster ? 🤔

11. I can appreciate the effort, but feel Hughes would be redundant with Dahls on the roster. I think Hughes is overall the better player, and we would’ve seen at least one of Power/Byram go back the other way. Having the two of them would be a great problem to have, but then what do you do, 1st+2nd pair play 23+ minutes each and give the 3rd pair 12-14 a night?

    We’ll likely never know. But I don’t think it’s a trade we *needed* to be in on.

    KA’s parting gift to us is yet another “we tried, we were in on it” – how fitting.
