"Teddy, here's your math homework for the rest of the season."

I wonder if they kept Meszaros and Benoit just to make sure that Pysyk and McCabe don't come up
- Sabresfan-365

Very possible.

Looks great going forward.

Couldn't have asked for more, as long as this all translates to L's.

He only did this because I'm guessing no one would give up a 2nd this year. Man Murray could do just about anything and people would praise him

No, not really, but I haven't seen one move by him that was any real head scratches. They all make sense and they all serve a purpose. To me, he hasn't failed on a trade yet.

I'd rather McDavid but i'm happy with either one.

This! 2017 is when we should be a solid playoff team. 2nd round pick will get us a nice rental when we need one

That and in 3 years you never know about how good MIN is going to be with aging guys like Parise, Pominville, Vanek, and Suter

Wild are probably my rooting interest in the playoffs this year. If they hang on and make it.

The prospect involved in the Mitchell trade could be Michael Bournival.

Are we supposed to hate him for sending off what TSN says on live TV is a bad player for "just" a 2nd round pick?

The only player that wasn't moved who has been scoring for the Sabres is Meszaros...

More jersey sales to throw them on the ice?

I'm from Milwaukee where Nashville's farm club is.... I always root for NSH if Buffalo is out of it.

Why would you say that ?

Lottery is rigged.

There is a big gap between hating and praising. He did his job and got an underwhelming return for an underwhelming player.

Why would you say that ?

Yea... I'm not sure....

McDavid has over 100 pts in only 30 games...

That's hilarious! So you aren't happy with this? You wanted to keep Stewart? Mind you, there's a possibility he comes back in off-season (ala Moulson) - which means we got a 2nd rounder for renting a guy when we were last in the league???

Adding assets, no matter when you can cash those chips in...all while ensuring the tank continues is a big win. What happens if Minnesota is the worst team in the league in 2017? You still going to be a debbie downer?

Go ahead, share your untainted wisdom with us. Tell us exactly how all the trades Murray made today are terrible. I'll hang up and listen.

If you lose the lottery can only drop to 2. You finish last you can preorder your Eichel jersey. Or wait for your 20% odds for McDavid

I think the breaking point is where we finish. If we don't finish dead last, then it's going to be tough. He's set this team up for success (?) in that regard. Deals are made for the future.

I like the plan.

I'll back it until proven otherwise.
