That's bullpoop and you know it.

If we traded for prospects like nylander I’d be pretty pissed but right now he’s free and we just have to Be patient and developing slowly

I won't speak for Gerbe, but my perfect trade would have been

Berglund
2nd
Fabbri
Thomas

We didn't get any high-end talent, and we didn't get faster
- jcragcrumple

OK so from Buffalos End

Girgensons
2nd
Nylander
Middlestadt
Plus another piece most likely (Nylander and Girgensons are lesser than Berglund and Fabbri)

for

60 point center.

I don't feel it has to look like poop. We just need to move out some bums and finally let the youth play.

Sheary-Eichel-Reinhart
Olofsson-Mitts-Okposo
Erod-Berglund-Bap
Wilson-Sabotka-Pommers

Nice mix of vets and youth, we'll be fine.
- sskkoo1

Sabotka was the second line center for the blues


doubt he is a 4th liner here

most likely our second line center if they ease casey in, 3rd center at worst

Nice trade by Nelson

That pick has the chance to be a very good non-Canadian impact player. I have faith in Botts drafting ability. Too early to tell mostly, but I like what he's done so far.

Fixed.

I always liked this guy, he reminds me of a Gerbe/Ennis mix. 3C or winger, good competition for E rod.

You people are forgetting we have our own nice crop of young players/prospects.
The sky isn't falling, as some might like to believe.
- Powerslave

I don't think the sky is falling. I'm actually excited to have Berglund. I think that's a sneaky good pickup. But that and a 11-31 draft pick are the best pieces in the deal, so the only way this trade makes sense to me is if it's an addition by subtraction thing. Maybe it is

No, we got a 1st, 2nd, and two prospects. They got two decent seasons out of Pommer before he turned into a bag of chit. We won that deal.

Bro the only person we got of the deal is Larsson

agreed. He probably won't be on the 4th line, I was just merely suggesting that will be much more competitive this year.

Let’s look at if the Sabres did the deal

Nylander
1st
2nd
Gus
Berglund = Pominville , 3rd


Great trade

you think Berglund and Pominville are the same

The labbatt lobbyists failed. My source says Botts hated Rors music.

Strickland - Sobotka is more on the quiet side, more intense, but he knows how to fit in to a NHL locker room. From a character standpoint, these guys will enhance the locker room. #Sabres

Some may find this to be significant. maybe they don't pout and tell the media that they need to be better every night.

- gerbe75pts

No. We got plenty. Just because Larsson is the only one still here doesn't mean that's all we got.

Minnesota's 1st was used on Zadorov, who turned into O'reilly, who has now been turned back into a 1st, 2nd, and Thompson.

I like Torts even more after yesterday

I don’t care what anybody says the CHL thing is real now

He hates Canadians

you have gone rogue


you don't count right now

What I wanna know is why people here are ecstatic that we didn't have to pay ROR his bonus . Why? It helps literally no one but Pegula. Why should we give a damn about what money our billionaire owner is saving, especially when potentially it lowers the potential return we could get.

thompson is better then nylander right now

So you're ok with because this is essentially what you wanted from St. Lous:

Middlestat
Ristolainen
1st round pick
2nd round pick

for

Jeff Skinner

Gerbe won't answer this, because he knows you're right. He'll just ignore this post, like he basically ignored a similar post of mine last night. I told him to put the shoe on the other foot.

Ffs dude, Hutton is Canadian.

for all we know, pegula said get him out now, I don't want to pay him another dime

Or it makes the so called "potential return", or Botts asking price so high, that there is no trade.

Dude they basically got him for free
