Next, Grigorenko ends up in Colorado. Would be in his best interest. - sippyd
I might be in the minority but I think it would be best for him to go there. We get ROR to be out top line center next year with McDavid and Reinhart behind him. I'm cool with that.

Agreed. This team obviously has a ton to do with it but they haven't necessarily improved since the season began - sbroads24
When your forwards never possess the puck the defense is definitely going to be exposed. Shea Weber and Drew Doughty would be solid minus players on this squad.
Despite him being incredibly mediocre, they need to keep Bogo. Ristolainen is worrying me. He sucks lately. He is "the future" now - sbroads24
Yes, I've noticed that as well. However, given their age and the fact that this team was designed with the sole purpose of losing it really hasn't bothered as much.
It'd be more concerning to me if they had regressed in a year where the team has gotten significantly better (aka next year).
I get the idea of having Bogosian there to eat up the minutes, i'd just prefer someone else that's all.

Bogosian will end up being a good 3-4 for us down the road. He just doesn't have any offensive instincts or enough awareness in general to be great.
How do you get a shot blocked into the stands so easily on a 2 on 1??

We made the Jets a contender - sbroads24
In all seriousness, though, even if this trade were to propel the Jets to a Cup this year (which it won't), it's still not necessarily a loss for Buffalo. That trade was about making Buffalo better next year, and if it does that, then I'm okay with it, regardless of what Myers and Stafford do for the Jets.

It will never be a "loss" because the Sabres are going to be a good team with or without Kane, Myers Bogosian or anyone else involved.
That's kind of a cop out saying it doesn't matter what they do or don't do. So far Myers is producing at a rate that Kane wasn't even doing and Stafford is playing well in their top 6. Not to mention the 3 other pieces we handed them.
There is a very good chance we gave up the best player, along with 4 other pieces. If that ends up the case, we lost the trade.
