It's hard to believe they get 3 but if they do somehow has to be a bigger deal than one for one.
- GilPerreault11

I haven’t been predicting it would happen
Just hoping that Bergevin would get desperate
The dumb Galchenyuk for Domi trade makes it seem like he is,
so I’ve got some hope he’s gonna cave

If Buffalo is asking for 3 and Montreal is offering Patches it doesn't seem like a very effective negotiation
- mattmoulson

Can’t blame MTL for trying
Patch is a heck of a player
Just not the best fit for us right now
If a Cup contender can afford his Cap hit,
he could be a nice piece to help them win NOW

We are still a couple years away

And then Buffalo said how about 3OA AND Patch. Because it's Bergevin, I assume he responded by adding more to the trade from MTL.

Basically, I imagine negotiations going something like this, but dumber:

Their window with Price/Weber/Patches is closing fast. They have no 1C. They traded their best young asset. JT is very likely not going to end up there. There are no other 1C's available right now. The Habs fans are getting very impatient with this "spinnin the tires" crap as well as the bad trades; so Bergy needs to put W's on the board.

It all provides JB with maximum leverage.

3OA or no deal.

nope

his act got so stale I tuned him out after a month
- homiedclown

Yeah, still a wiener, I haven't listened since he switched over to 1520 when Murphy went daily 12-3 on 550.

He looks almost unrecognizable without that goatee.

Ya...i've said it before...he's a great player, but doesn't fit the rebuild timeline.

Pretty sure that guy doesn't know poop.

30 year old on an expiring contract

Or

3rd overall pick with top wing potential for the next 10+ years

Not even in the same ballpark

There's a lot of junk rumors floating around, that's for sure.

I'm still worried because that's the only thing people mention about him. Mark Mancari had a great shot too.
- Lunaion

lol no he didn't

There's a lot of junk rumors floating around, that's for sure.

I think we can get the 3OA, but it going to be part of a much bigger deal

“He got a raw deal”
-beady

Listening to Paul Hamilton on the Howard Simon show to day
Hour 3, about 15min in
He discussed in more detail about “Risto being uncoachable”

Really sounded to me that Risto was just being cautious in not jumping into the play as much as the coaches wanted
This is probably the first time he’s been coached that way
And besides breaking his habits per se,
he was probably tentative to make mistakes doing so & creating situations that would leave Lehner hung out to dry

So maybe it’s not that he’s “uncoachable”
Just that he needs more time in this system to get comfortable & better figure out when to move up in the play like the coaches want

dude, that horse died like 14 or 15 months ago, move the (frank) on

The actual quote from Jeff Marek: "The #Sabres are in on a lot of players, Max Pacioretty might be at the top of that list."

As a buyer, excluding ROR I wonder what it takes to get Pacioretty?

We get a top 3 pick for ROR, even if we have to add a peice, would be awesome

I've listened to hamilton a lot, though not today. I usually find him very balanced in his comments. He just scorches him every time. I find it really hard to give risto the benefit of the doubt.

- sbroads24

Agreed. I can't imagine that pick being in play without adding, and I wouldn't mind doing it.

Rumor is Pacioretty and 3 for ROR and Reinhart. It wasn't from lebrun or Bobby Mac but it's floating around out there tonight.

I saw Pacioretty and 3 alone for ROR. All I know is twitter is hot right now about Buffalo and Habs talks. Regardless of ROR deal the Sabres appear to be gunning for Patches.

I shot 77 today and the beer tasted great afterward.

Agreed with this 100%. It sounds like 3 is in play.
