Which makes no sense because he been better than Half of the other defenseman this year....
- gordong

He demanded a trade because he wanted to play. The way that situation was handled, doesn’t look good.

Exactly, what do other teams have that they’d be willing to give up that’s better than what the Sabres have? Nothing.

There are players don't let it fool you, those picks are worth a good player.

He should have not been sitting in the first place.... can’t say as I blame him one bit.

If you offer Detroit 2 1sts for Anthony Mantha, do they say no?

This game right here, against an exceptional hockey club is why this team and this season can be summed up in one word = frustration.

Carry on.

What do we need him for? and he's not worth 2 1st round picks. I would like Athanasiou but not 2 1st round picks for him, maybe 1 +.

So it's been a running joke here but a serious question

Can you trade picks with conditions on it?

Or do you have to wait until those conditions are met?

Like those picks could be traded at the draft but I am not sure if they can trade them in the season due to the conditions of being lottery protected

I think off season and draft day, yes.

Imagine if he had a legit 2nd line center.

It’s a good day for this username.

Then those 1st round picks should be used wisely

Either by drafting or by trading (for the right player)

I don’t think they’ll give AA up. I think there is untapped potential in Mantha. I put a lot of stock in Canadian Junior 50 goal scorers. Just like Skinner.

And they will be, he's getting calls but I doubt we see much I was told.

It seems the Wings are still waiting for Mantha to " show up" so to speak. Maybe he needs a change.

He was physical, not good.

Was outshot like 20-9 while on the ice
- sbroads24

That's wrong, at least according to NaturalStatTrick. He was on the ice for 18 shots for and 10 against. And was a 68% CF%, +25.81 CF% Rel.

Ristolainen was out there for at least part of every Ovechkin shift. And he wasn't on the ice for Ovechkin's goal. Risto and McCabe went off and Hunwick and Beaulieu came on and got scored on pretty quick. He was 13 CF and 14 CA when Ovechkin was on the ice. 13 and 11 when Kuznetsov was on the ice. 21 and 11 with the "Godlike" Wilson.

Edit: I see that you were talking about the Tampa game, but Risto was nothing short of great today.

Agreed.

Did Skinner play much after coming back ? Hope he's OK and it's not a lingering thing. That sh!t is gonna be sore tomorrow ...

Leafs/Flyers back to back, we’ll see where they’re at.

How about we make some trades so maybe we can get into the playoffs? I'm ready!!

Consensus seems to be that you can trade them. Mostly based on twitter, so I'm not 100% sure it's true in every case. I wouldn't be shocked if we couldn't trade our 4th, but could trade our 3rd. I think it's settled that they could move the 1sts, with the condition that we receive them.

I’d never offer 2 firsts for him, one maybe...

We really need a 2nd line center and Botterill know's it. Monday may be a slow day.
