How many has he had ?
- cabin

2 I believe but the last one was a bad one

Doesn't matter it's money we didn't need to spend on a washed up player.
- SABRES 89

Moulson disagrees...

And before you flip out for no reason... I'm joking.

Maybe a miracle will happen and Murray will redeem himself by trading 51 and every other pick we have this year to push 31 back into the first round somewhere.

Toffoli only 3 million per for 2 years.

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


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

If you're looking for a reason to groan.. the likely depth chart to start the Sabres season

Girgensons Legwand Eichel Larsson

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..

Does your head hurt from jumping to so many conclusions today? I feel like you have to keep banging your head off the ceiling right now.

I can all but guarantee he was taken in lieu of us handing over another pick.

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
- Stripes77

Meh, I've been around.

And in regards to "the trades that didn't happen" - ie. the magical move up/trade for top 6 guy, I just tend to believe that he's done all the work he could to try and it wasn't happening.

Would you rather have wanted to give up the 21st pick for:
A) Lehner and Legwand, or
B) Markstrom and Hamhuis?

Potential number one goalies with similar resumes and an older salary dump.
- rcostel77

Not even a debate. B is by far the better package. Hamhuis is not a cap dump. Hes still a top pair stud.

Absolutely wrong.

Could go the rest of his career without another.
Oh well it's done .

- Iggysbff

Top pair stud may be a stretch but he at least has something left in the tank.

does this trade even work in nhl 15?

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.
- HonkFortheGoose

As Mayor Massiello once said "If you don't like living here then get the hell out"

Murray live on WGR. Just said Lehner was the best goalie available to them.

- homiedclown

Lehner grows to like 90 overall in that game so yea

TM sounds like a robot with the audio feed from WGR

Not even a debate. B is by far the better package. Hamhuis is not a cap dump. Hes still a top pair stud.
- Iggysbff

Except our need for D is a lot less than our need for a goalie and the goalie you get back in trade B is a never going to be an NHL starter.

It's been mentioned by a few reporters how this gives Reinhart a chance to be groomed more which he shouldn't need to do. I don't want a bum getting 2nd line ice time at center who is a mere cap rental when a guy who we drafted 2nd overall last year flounders in terrible ice situations.. Is it assuming? Yes it is but it's also a logical answer for what will probably happen.

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.
- HonkFortheGoose

I absolutely hate it. This is literally the last thing I wanted that pick to be spent on.

- homiedclown

You're doing something wrong.

Mr. Roboto is definitely a fan of Lehner.

- sbroads24

flip side, I would rather give 21 up for Lehner then 31 for lack or talbot
