With his shot, could be a potential weapon across from Jack on the PP
- jdfitz77

Might be, gotta see if he can play in the NHL first. Scouting report makes him sound like a PP specialist.

when the sabres signed okposo

I said murray was on the hot seat, and I was called crazy

My source says Hasek passed his physical....

Olli and Hasek are a package deal

That’s what I meant by we’ve seen almost no movement. I meant the whole NHL.

Once teams know where JT is going, or he’s “narrowed” his list to 2-3 teams we will see moves.

I truly think O’Reilly is going. Just too much smoke out there now. Someone will up the ante
- sbroads24

To ST Louis.
Rights to Fabbri + Berglund + another piece (Prospect like Dunn or Kyrou)

Sign Duclair to a 2YR 4MM deal.

Now two young cost controlled LW.

Panarin only wants to play in NYC, LA or CHI.

Scratch him off the list.

The more I think about it, the more and more I can see ROR to Ottawa post July 1.

Melnyk gets 7.5 on his cap and only Pays 1MM.

C'mon Erik Karlsson.

It would be ironically sweet seeing Ror and Duchene together again.

"Olofsson, Pilut and Asplund could be ready to push for a spot in Buffalo"

Randy Sexton

Talked about how they've been playing against men for years

If so that's great news for the Sabres. The bigger the talent pool we have to stock our roster, the better.

Matt Moulson owed 3MM while making 5.

Girgensons or Larsson.

We could get a haul from Ottawa for that.

There will be a lot of competition.

I assume you mean Pominville.

Might wanna check Ennis season this past year.

Pominville doubled his production almost
- sbroads24

Tyler Ennis - 73 games 8 goals 14 assists 22 points $4.6m cap hit
Marcus Foligno - 77 games 8 goals 15 assists 23 points $2.875m cap hit
45 points $7.475m cap hit
0.16 $m/Point


Jason Pominville - 82 games (!) 16 goals 18 assists 34 points $5.6m cap hit
Marco Scandella - 82 games(!) 5 goals 17 assists 22 points $4m cap hit
56 points $9.6 cap
0.17 $m/point

So overall, I think he "won" that trade. I think it was close, but we had a huge need for D (not that Scandella did that much there) but the trade was needed. You can't just get star / top end players without giving up.

I think he is doing an OK job, but could be doing better. Have to respect he wants to maintain his prospects to better his chances on hitting on one (some).

There will be a lot of competition.

Sure.

He is a great amateur scout, he sucked as a GM.


Kulikov
Kane
ROR
Lehner
Bogo*

All his big acquisition players (After ROR is traded) who are no longer with the Sabres.

* Its not like Bogo plays, so he doesn't even count.

July 1, 2016. The archive doesn’t lie.

How about you list all the picks he gave away

Just in 2015 alone, he traded away:
21 (to Ottawa for Lehner)
25 (to Winnipeg for Kane / Bogo)
31 (to Colorado for O'Reilly)

Some names that could have been had, of course hindsight here, but just stating a few....
23 Brock Boeser
24 Travis Konecny
26 Noah Juulsen
28 Anthony Beauviller
30 Nick Merkley
35 Sebastian Aho
37 Brandon Carlo
46 Daniel Sprong

So say, instead of those guys we could have had...
23 Brock Boeser 62 games 29 goals 26 assists 55 points (Kane had 54 points)
28 Anthony Beauviller 71 games 21 goals 15 assists 36 points (him over Lehner)
35 Sebastian Aho 78 games 29 goals 36 assists 65 points (O'Reilly had 61 points)

And all very young moving forward. But yea, no big deal.

The second rounders he picked in 2014 were Lemieux, Cornel, and Karabacek

Just watched the Dahlin PC. What jackass asked about Sweden “disrespecting” their medals.

This is supposed to be about the Sabres and turning this hockey team around but of course they have to turn it negative.

$10 says it was Harrington.

Yea but go look at the results from that draft, no one really hit on a guy past 20th overall. Sad draft.

WOOOOOOOW (Owen Wilson voice)...

What a terrible terrible way to look at things in a vacuum. Dude was trying to just improve the team as quick as possible like we all wanted.

EH,

I thought he moved way too many assets for players.

Sadly, it appears I and others were correct (Not a gloat, I really wish I was wrong)

He tried to rush something, that could not be rushed.

But hindsight is 20/20.
