Well, nothing.

But if Alex Nylanders 0.5ppg is "dreadful," why is Colin White's 0.5ppg "good" (or at least "a travesty to throw away in a trade")?

- Der Kaiser

Nylander sucks too. He doesn't have it. You can't make your twitter handle Snipeshow98 and not score goals. He's a bum. Add him to the list of the wrong brother.

Is this something that’s happening today ? Saw the TSN tweet from Simpson but questioned if he’s credible.

watch neuvirth come back
- Sabresfan-365

That's what people on twitter were saying, that it would be Lehner for Neuvirth. I don't understand this trade from either side, Philly isn't in a position to need to upgrade a goalie and I wouldn't call Lehner much of an upgrade.

They aren't reeling because of the Neuvirth injury and hunting for a playoff spot so need him while Neuvirth is hurt.

I'm calling this rumor the bologna that people keep talking about.

For what it's worth, Robin Lehner's agent says he knows nothing about a trade involving his client #Sabres

Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm but shouldn't we give a prospect time to develop before we jump there? He was a kid in the AHL on a bad team last year, he's hardly played after an injury this year. Let's see what we've got before saying he's a bum.

If a defenseman, prospect, or pick came back, yeah. I saw people talking about us taking Neuvirth back and it didn't make sense at all.

Again, I don't think this happens. I'm right on about 1 in 5 predictions.

Yes. We should. Pointing out what his production has been up to this point however, is not saying we should trade him, or call him a star.

Were they the same draft class? I don't remember and don't feel like looking it up. I do know that Nylander went straight to the AHL when we drafted him and was one of the youngest kids there. This was the year I wanted to see what he had, but the injury didn't help.

it makes perfect sense. Lehner's Qualifying offer is 4 million, Neuvirth is 2.5 mil aav.

In this season, they are both scoring at 0.5ppg.
Colin White is an entire year older, and even examining their career stats, the difference doesn't move any meaningful needle.

So let's not get wrapped around any axles.

there is not ntc, nmc

gm is under no obligation to tell a player or his agent he is shopping them w/o a ntc or nmc in contract

So we're getting Halak again? He was undefeated here.

(Is he even their goalie anymore? Is this a good joke?)
