Who. Freakin. Cares.


Well said Garth, we say this about most of your articles.

***WARNING***

GARTH NEEDED FILLER

Murray may also be looking to make a trade for Anaheim’s 21 year old backup goalie John Gibson. The Edmonton Oilers are also trying to get their mitts on Gibson. Murray will have to pay a heavy price to pry Gibsoin away from Anaheim especially after Freddy Andersen faltered against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference Finals.

Murray has also been rumored to be interested in Quebec Remparts and Montreal Canadiens prospect Zach Fucale as well as Boston prospect Malcolm Subban. Murray may also want to invest the #21 or #31 picks in drafting Ilya Samsonov later this month.


The Samsonov is the first thing Garth wrote that wasn't recycled material.

Blackwood is a better option.

Every GM is "open" to offer sheeting players. Murray just basically said, "Yes, I'm aware that it's an option, and I haven't really given much thought to it yet, but it's an option." Clearly a development worthy of report.

Murray has the three things that star players want the most:

1. Fat stacks of Pegula jack.
2. TOI ( top 6 and special teams)
3. Leadership roles


winning, not important.

I disagree. And dozens of scouts do as well.

Drouin will demand a trade to Buffalo because he has some 3rd-party connection to a member of the Sabres front office from 7 years ago. And really, he should want to come here to play with all of this potential, as does every single NHL player. The Sabres could probably get him for a 2nd and a lock of Pegula's hair.

I didn't realize that Toffoli was "electrifying". Or that ROR is such a star in this league that Buffalo would have to give up the 21st PLUS tremendous asset Zadorv or whatever his name is. And that the AValanche would actually be stupid enough to take it. Because you know, he's Murray! Tim Murray!

Girgensons and O'Reilly are the same player, why would we sacrifice Zadorov? Need a young right wing sniper, trade isles pick back to them (with Grigo) for Strome. They can reek RFA havoc from there, they are close.

Girgensons is good and promising, but hes not as good as ROR yet. Girg needs more seasoning to be producing on both sides of the puck at a consistent level, probably some better wingers (Kane and Eichel coming in this season will help spread the talent around) to jump his game up the next level.

Kids promising I will agree to that

Compensation is too high for the good RFA's and don't forget the 2016 draft is in Buffalo. Will want to keep our first round pick.

And it had better be the 1st overall. Get on it Murray.

Don't worry they mastered the tank in Buffalo. Well except for actually getting the 1st pick.

Compensation would be next year's picks. The offer sheets wouldn't be until after the draft.

Garth the 21st plus Zadorov for ROR would be a rip off. Might as well pull our pants down and bend over for mr. Sakic and Mr. Roy.

More fair trade would be...

Grigorenko, 21st, late 2nd rounder and Ruhwedel for ROR.

Samsonov is better. Blackwood's success can be contributed to McDavid and Strome.
