No one willingly goes to Edmonton-
- Purple Eagle

They convinced Pat Quinn a while ago

No, Pegula isn't happy. He wants McDavid in the Blue and Gold, but it will COST.
- SABRES 89

Well they better be careful, that's all, or we're gong to turn into the Flyers all over again. Lindros never won a Cup with Philly, and they paid dearly to acquire him.

Can't he just be happy with our Modano?

I'd feel bad for Pysyk if we trade him to edmonton, I remember when he got drafted it was one of the last places he wanted to play.

Pysyk was captain of the Edmonton Oil Kings, I'd definately think he'd be involved in any Sabres/Oilers trade.

They want McDavid but I think Murray is more pissed about being in last 2 years in a row and losing big this year.

And you see what happened to him...

I went to school with him. I remember hearing he definitely did not want to play for Oilers. Maybe thing have changed over last few years.

Haha very valid point

I wonder if he's pissed about the link Gerbe posted. Something as big as the draft should have no errors, yet it seems a very large one occurred

Mike Milbury being considered for Bruins Head Coaching job.

Edm would be cray to trade McDavid, but perhaps the Sabres could pry a prospect like Leon Drisatil away from them?


**Buffalo trades M. Pysyk & J. McCabe to Edm, for L.Drisatil.**




Everybody wins!!!

There is this perception that the Oilers desperately need defensemen, but they actually have a bunch of good young prospects at D, (Nurse, Musil, Gernat), not to mention Schultz and Klefbom already in the NHL.

Interesting. Wonder if an opportunity to play with McDavid would change that?

I'd like to see the full course of events (video) as compared to individual snapshots. I have to believe that there is a huge chunk of the process missing.

Is Schultz a UFA?

I don't know I didn't see that but , Murray better be careful about what he's says about the pick from here on out before Eichel pulls a Lindros or goes back to collage.

That's fine. He deserves to be pissed, but don't do anything stupid or rash.

Not a bad idea.




Take your time, do it right. It's not like next year has a playoff run in store for this squad.

Give more ice time the youthful likes of Girgensons, Foligno, Larrsson, Delauries, Risto, Zads, Pysyk, etc, let them learn from their mistakes... And collect another Top 5 pick in a yr when the lotto odds have been "smoothed out".


Baby steps.
- SuperCat

I like the idea of letting the young guys play and not trying to make to many moves this season. Also I know a lot of guys will get resigned, but I took a peek at the FA list for next offseason, there is a lot of good players we could bring in when the young guys start hitting their stride.

RFA

Schultz will be nothing more then a 4-5 defensemen with the ability to play on the 2nd PP line

Same could be said about McCabe.

Love the comments on this article. Most people feel bad for McD mixed in with the typical Buffalo dogging.

- grand-magus

That's true. Very different type of players though. McCabe is better in his own end.

"FML"

Wonder how a Grigorenko/Girgensons/Nail Yakapov could look in time?

The two wingers would be forced to skate just to keep pace with the Latvian Locomotive!!

Yeah, he hasn't been coach in how to handle emotions while being on TV yet, so his true emotions came through in that segment.
