Kinda did. And ..I don't know . Might work out . THe opportunity might have been the best case .

But....but....CHAD JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!

I do prefer Robin Lehner over lack and talbot

Do ya really have a choice?

You can either



or



I'll be the turtle.
- TheSabresTaco

I'm the turtle today... I can't control what is not in my control.

nice work, homie
- Michael Pachla

I forgot Legwand


that's how much I think of him

Enroth is .908 and has reached his potential.

Lindback is worse.
- TheSabresTaco

Lehner's was .905 this season

I hear ya, smitty...imo, 2013 was a pretty deep draft...would place it second to 2003 this century
- Michael Pachla

This trade just scares me a lot. I had faith in GMTM even after the Kane deal which was iffy for many. This trade just really makes me scratch my head. Like why couldn't they give us something else? Like a B level prospect. Something to make it more acceptable.

Do you not think he's tried??
- stashu

Of course I think he tried.

I don't like the return that the 21st pick got.

Giving up a first rounder for a guy who has shown promise but has a concussion history is not something I would say is a good deal.

Edit: Where he heck have you been

I'm also the turtle. The way I look at it, this team couldn't possibly be any worse this year than what we've seen the last 2.

Time to move on and get excited. If you don't like what's being done, there's the door. Feel free to GTFO.

I forgot Legwand

- homiedclown

What is his worth at this year's deadline?

This is a great day for my dropbox folder.

If you're looking for a reason to keep breathing....


Eichel-Reinhart-Girgensons-Larsson down the middle. Not even TM can screw that up

I actually like Lehner, he was number 2 on my list of goalies I wanted. But for a first, absolutely dumb. For the price we are going to pay Legwand and Lehner we could have brought in Dubnyk on July 1st.


BUZZKILL.

The ship has now sailed but Lack for #31 doesn't look so bad now, does it?

The silver lining in all of this might be that GMTM has raided our cupboards pretty good. Probably not enough left in them for him to trade for ROR. Unless he goes psychotic and offers up Reinhart, Big Z and a bunch of other prospects/picks. He wouldn't go psycho on us would he?

1 year. No biggie at all.
- TheSabresTaco

Doesn't matter it's money we didn't need to spend on a washed up player.

I am starting to warm up to it a bit as I actually like Lehner. I think what disappoints me the most was that i was hoping to use 21 to move up to get a top 6 player.

Maybe the bright side of this is that we can't use 21 to make a foolish trade to get ROR (knocking on wood).
- Slump Buster

I don't mind at all trading for Lehner. Trading that 1st is what hurts me.

Of course I think he tried.

I don't like the return that the 21st pick got.

- Stripes77

How many has he had ?

I do prefer Robin Lehner over lack and talbot
- homiedclown

I thought lehner would be the best of the group that we could get at the cheapest because of concussion problems. Instead Tim overpaid his uncle because his uncle knows how much he likes lehner.

What is his worth at this year's deadline?
- rcostel77

he may get flipped today for a team needing to get to the cap floor (yotes?)

I know darcy had interest in Legwand in the past

The other thing that is going under the radar here that reallyyyyyyy pisses me off is the fact that Legwand will probably start as our 2nd line center and take needed ice time away from Reinhart...

Kane Girgensons Ennis
Moulson Legwand Reinhart?
Foligino Eichel Gionta

That's a three line set up that gives you a bottom three NHL team in my opinion. I also wouldn't be surprised now if Reinhart starts in the AHL..

- Sabresfan-365

I have a feeling Larsson may be on the moved

Lehner's was .905 this season
- sbroads24

And with the Sabres, Lindback's was .924. Can't just look at one chapter and know the whole story.

Like I said. I don't love it, but I'm not about to freak out about it either.

This is kind of a poor point as it takes guys a few years to get to the NHL. I wouldn't really expect a guy drafted in 2012-2014 to be in the show as they would still only be 22 or younger.

Also, the guys at 21 in this draft compare to guys 10 spots higher in other drafs.
- Slump Buster

Couldn't be happier with Brock Nelson who we picked with the 30th overall.

He's a bum.
- HonkFortheGoose

And now he is our bum.
