We’ve always wanted Berglund.

But

Ugh. Today is not my favorite day
- jcragcrumple

You know it’s a bad trade ..

I wanted him gone but not for spare parts and garbage

Let me speak for him as he makes excellent points. Free up cap space (Not trade for two 30 year olds with a combined 150,000 under O'Reilly's cap hit for 3-4 years. Get rid of bums who have sucked the life out of this team by any means necessary. Girgensons, Bogosian, Larsson. Show some balls and sign or trade for a stud. Give up a pick for someone with term like Zucker or Nino.

For some reason i don’t think it’s that easy

And u can’t make UFAs want to come here
Overpaying them usually isn’t a great idea anyways

I'm going downtown to flip cars, who is with me?!

You mean 30

He's 29 until November guy. So no I mean 29.

We’ve always wanted Berglund.
- dadeadhead

Yes we have. It finally happened.

Yeah 5 years ago .. Some how buffalo always gets the player when they’re old as dirt after years of rumors

I like Berglund and the first. Sobotka is a cap dump, we didn't get Kyrou or Thomas, and the 2nd rounder is at least 5 years away from being a Sabre, if he ever makes it.

I hope ROR was a problem. It's the only way I can accept this trade

Well, we made one

Traded O’Reilly for “parts”

Hope you’re happy

Thompson doesn’t look like a scorer
Berglund & Sobatka are ok bottom6 players

That trade didn’t make us better unless the draft picks work out YEARS from now

Utter fail by Botts imo
Should’ve just kept O’Reilly
- jdfitz77

Kind of thinking same.

Sounds like Thompson is their Nylander. Could be ok but a guy willing to add to any trade to incentive it. Nothing special.

A late 2019 1st we won’t see for years.

2021(!) 2nd. Won’t be in NHL until like 2024/25

And two cap dumps. Some may argue no, but if these two guys were FAs today and botts signed them to their currant contracts we would be pissed hes wasting cap money. Could of got similar players today on FA cheaper or less term.

A C grade only because it seemed O’Reilly needed to go.

Unless you’ve been paying attention and realized ROR is the problem in the room and he had to be traded. He couldn’t “just be kept”

He's 29 until November guy. So no I mean 29.
- Carubba-Kaleta

So he turns 30 in November And he will be 34 when we’re A contender

That’s great

@eyetesthockey
Was just about to post. If you're looking for a reason to be excited about Tage Thompson, 16 of his 18 points last year in the AHL (30 GP) were primary points. Pretty good for a U-20 skater

Yeah 5 years ago .. Some how buffalo always gets the player when they’re old as dirt after years of rumors
- gerbe75pts

At least we got Hodgson in his prime tho

I like Berglund and the first. Sobotka is a cap dump, we didn't get Kyrou or Thomas, and the 2nd rounder is at least 5 years away from being a Sabre, if he ever makes it.

Berglund in the deal is worse than sobotka.

Let me give Mike Weber a call to see if he wants to give us a hand.

One player making $7.5 for 3 players making a little over $8 million.

A first next year and a 2nd a few years later

Berglund is the guy to shelter Mittelstadt in the defensive zone.

A big power forward winger who isn’t a great skater but has a wicked shot. He could use a year in Rochester.

It’s not a holy crap trade but it’s a pretty solid trade all around.

This trade proves nobody was going to give up the farm for ROR.

Fact is ROR needed to go. He asked for a trade without coming right out and demanding a trade.

The cap coming in is for 3 guys, it’s not all wasted on 1 guy.

I still don’t think Botterill is done.

Where do you think you are? Vancouver?

The goal was a top prospect He didn’t get it

Berglund in the deal is worse than sobotka.
- Mentalorgasm5

At least Berglund has the ability to score goals

Still don’t have a winger for jack

Successful day

Berglund in the deal is worse than sobotka.

Yeah, no

At least Berglund has the ability to score goals
