Agreed. I'll be disappointed if we don't, but I'll still be happy if it ends up being Eichel. I'd just love to get the one that's supposed to be "the best." Though sometimes I think Eichel may be a better fit for the type of team Murray is building. Seems to play a bit more physical game. I could be wrong though.
- HonkFortheGoose

I know what u mean. Eichel's game might translate better in the playoffs when the ice gets smaller

Reygher(sp), McBain, Sekera, and McNabb

and I personally hated the 2 2nds and McNabb for former 3rd and 4th round picks
- Mentalorgasm5

the logic here, as presented, would equal you hating two 2nd round picks for, say, Jonathan Quick and Jamie Benn

I really like the Kane & Bogosian trade

I hated the Fasching trade when it happened. I like McNabb & it baffled me why he wasn't playing on the Sabres... Yet he's good enough to play on the Cup champs defense, ugh
However, Fasching's skating has apparently improved quite a bit, which is great news. I was looking for more of a jump in production this year though. He's def going back to College next year.
Jury is far from out on him though
- jdfitz77

I don't think he is

and why the (frank) are we trying to help boston (frank) them

make them overpay big time

Quite certain #Amerks RW Zac Dalpe and C Phil Varone will be joining the #Sabres for tomorrow's game against the Canucks.

I don't think he is
- gerbe75pts

Idk...
I could see him and Compher back in the NCAA next year
Neither has made strides in their scoring production
And there's no hurry for us to sign them
Bailey & Baptiste will be in Rochester next year, maybe Reinhart?
I wouldn't mind if we signed those guys, be we can also let them continue to develop in college for free

Grigorenko still banged up?
What about Schaller?
Interesting

I think it's too easy to say it's a wash just like it was too easy to rip on Sekera as a Dman with the Sabres. If you really study their games you see their values, but just my opinion.
- GilPerreault11

Bogosian is doing the same things people ripped Myers for.

Example Nashville game in OT. He fumbles the puck behind the net, then takes a high sticking penalty trying to recover it.

He wants to get money to help his family i'm sure he will make the jump next year

Myers did those things multiple times per game. I have been watching Bogosian like a hawk since we acquired him just for this conversation that I knew you would eventually bring up. he did make a mistake on the play you referenced. For that 1 mistake he has made 100 solid plays since he got here. And that's not an embellishment.

It's not up to Fasching
We haven't signed him yet. It's up to Murray whether or not he thinks Fasching is ready for the AHL

- gerbe75pts

I'd make every team pay that wants any of our players at the deadline.

This Penguins/Caps game is a lot of fun.

I agree
Bogosian is a solid, physical, defensive defenseman
He'll never be as dynamic as Myers offensively, but I'm ok with that. I much prefer the style Bogosian brings to the table

Winnipeg is prob pretty happy with Myers too though. He's got a bunch of pts since going there

Myers did not make his defense partner better. Bogosian has made Benoit look like a competent top-4 D since he's been here.

Heck ya...
Getting assets from Boston weakens them in the future
Stewart might help them get to the playoffs this year, but I doubt he helps them so much that they make a run to the Cup

Yep.............. make them all overpay no matter who it is.

Not as remotely often, not even close. But we will differ on this opinion and that's fine. If liking the guy as a player makes you happy then good for you.

If we are going to trade Stewart to Boston I hope they wait until after they play the Yotes this weekend.

Myers is gone, let it go.

- Pierceme69

That's a good point too
Benoit actually looks tradable!
Not for much... A 4th maybe?
But still, I'll take it

Now to the Ducks game
- SABRES 89

So any info, what's the word?

Yep.............. make them all overpay no matter who it is.
- SABRES 89

Absolutely
And I know u like him...
But I do think there's a decent chance we bring him back in the offseason
Have u heard anything about that?
It looks like he'll def be traded

- Pierceme69

if the yotes kill them we might get more

win-win
