Well, there is still no guarantee that picking near the top for a few years will solve all of the teams problems.

(Although I still think that is where the best players come from. Just playing Devils Advocate)

I just miss going to that arena when it was the place to be. Go there with a baby doll and have a cocktail. Even if they lost, I still put my pants on the next day and went to work.

It hasn't been the place to be since 2007.

Jokes aside, we all want the arena to get back to being that way. And ones chances are highly increased the more top 3 picks one acquires - especially in the 2015 draft.

We could do just fine moving forward with only Reinhart, but wouldn't you rather have probability on your side?

We Traded

Vanek

for

Matt Moulson
Gorges (for the 2016 minny 2nd)
NYIs 1st and 2nd
NYIs 2nd
Eric Cornel (pick 44 from pick 39 trade)
and
Brycen Martin (pick 74 from pick 39 trade)


McCormick was on the team already, so cant double count, and 2016 2nd was moved for Gorges.
- Mentalorgasm5

Which means we let Minny "borrow" Moulson and McCormick for

Gorges
Cornel
B Martin

Not a bad haul for 2 guys who returned about 4 months later

Did we trade our 2016 2nd or the Wilds pick for Gorges? If it's the Wilds you can add him to the list

Not sure, McKenzie just says the pick, not whose.

Yes, yes. I know they are going to suck and it is probably for the best. I just hate watching sports that way.

How do we get NYI 2nd twice?

My mantra with the Sabres has become 'good things come to those who wait'

Be patient my friend.
