Well that was a shatty trade. Lazar I actually liked. Hall did shat for us.

I would of expected a better return. But oh well.

8 and 7 goals compared to 2.

Plus Foligno has intangibles that Hall doesn't.

Hall had 17 assists and drove play at a much better rate then either of those players however.

I’ll give you the intangibles with Foligno though.

Cagguila , Bjork played for Granato


I like Bjork alot I think he can be a different player here

Caligula will give you everything he has on every shift and could be a very inexpensive good 4th liner. Could be just a guy to help change the culture in Buff.

Liked Bjork at ND but he really hasn't transitioned well to the NHL as of yet.

Nope, I wasn't expecting a first. But I expected a decent prospect with that 2nd. Instead we get yet another bottom 6 forward. AND they get Lazar.

Thing I am made about is Lazar

WOOO. More 4th liners.

So they're building a team for Granato? What are you insinuating?

I like the guy, but if they're not going to at least interview other candidates, that's a huge mistake.

Well... Looks like a mediocre tdl...

Who cares about Lazar. There’s 1000 Lazars out there. Can we get a decent prospect or a decent pick instead of these 3rd rounders and above. And these dog crap 4th liners.

Its Buffalo what else would you expect.

Should have just traded hall for a 2nd and skipped the whole bjork/ lazar thing

Did it say what year the 2nd was?

It's the point of it, though.

What was the purpose of including Lazar? To get (frank)ing Bjork?

Haven’t seen anything. Not sure if I’d rather this year or next..

Link? Because I saw it was next year.

Sabres retained half of Hall's salary.

They can retain on one more deal.

Thx

Lame. Not unexpected but still lame. I actually liked Larry Lazar so that part might be more of a bummer than anything else for me

Sabres picks in this draft are

First
2 seconds
2 thirds
4th
5th
6th
2 sevenths

They didn't retain any money on Hall, and with the way
Tage Mitts Asplund have come together and when Jack is back between Skinner and Rhino. And then if Cozens and Rusto keep growing with Okposo you have the makings of 3 decent lines. Lazar would have made the start of a good 4th line.
- Buff36

They're retaining 50% of halls contract
