I wouldnt be upset with Martin on the short term. Or if they went for Franson.
- Cheeseballin


Martin's definitely quality and LHD, but a year older than Oduya. I'd actually put him 3rd behind the other two mentioned. A year in age means a little more when you're in your mid 30's than 20-30.

Franson could be a decent 4, but he's RHD. Doubt he's Murray's first choice, but he plays a physical style and could also suit up for ES and PP. Plays PK as well. I think I'd put him 5th behind Green.

Murray says one area #Sabres will still look to address this offseason is defense. #SabresDraft2015

Oduya and Sekera should be targeted first and foremost. Both top 4 LD. Not seeing Green as likely, I know he's very polarizing, but he's aces on the pp. Something everyone here knows we need help on.
- TheSabresTaco



Actual Quote from the GM that many seem to hate:

Responding to hearing that Bylsma stated that ROR will be our Number #1 center next year.

Murray: "Let him put his balls on the table for that one"

"This Jack kid is pretty good!"

If you want to feel better about our situation (I can't imagine why you would need to) go back and read the Toronto toronto comments area from 7 p.m. last night.

Yes we gave away good young players to obtain good young players. I dont see how this is a bad thing?
- Cheeseballin

I like to think of it as money, and money as my soldiers.
When I send my money (soldiers) out, I always want them to come back with more, prisoners of war.
Murray's never ever come back with more!!
Perhaps some of you or most are enamored by him.
Well, i'm emphatically not.
But hey as once said..."different strokes".

In the NHL its is ALWAYS quality over quantity.

Murray came back with the best players.

That is the idea.

Not to have the most players.

I would say that's the case for all pro sports not just the NHL.

They way I look at it is this. He is giving away quality very young prospects who are largley still unknown. For more established young quality players. Naturally this is going to cost more to obtain these players. He is usuing his surplus of "money" or assets to obtain higher quality assets. Just my way of looking at it

The NFL is a bit different IMO depending on the position.

But yes I will agree

So you like to think it as if it was money, and then the money is also soldiers?

Perhaps you missed it when he sold off some of his "money/soldiers" to acquire some of the extra assets we had?

No offense but that is a terrible analogy. The goal isn't to collect prospects.

I've been following the eyewitness accounts of the Penguins brass imploding on the floor of the draft long after everyone else has left. Bizarre pictures.

In this case Murray sent a few $20 prospects and came back with 3 $100 NHL players.

At the end of the day he is still ahead.

False alarm. They talked a while ago, broke up, nothing came of it.
