it's better than the return of a 3rd rounder that was being tossed around a couple days ago...

that's about all i've got
- Michael Pachla

Maybe.
Bit Lazar for Bjork was just friggin dumb..
They needed to trade Bjork for Lazar for Cap...but added nothing g?..like a 3rd?

Adam's was played

including a 3rd team would lessen buffalo's return though

and probably is much harder when the player has a full nmc
- robz228

How? It's giving the acquiring team Hall for even cheaper. It should increase the return.

David Savard cost a 1st because it cost TB nothing on the cap to get him.

I'm sorry but certain teams seem to be able to maneuver these things and we literally never do

two words....

Couldn't it just be that this was the Bruins final offer? Yeah, ideally we wouldn't have done the Lazar swap... but maybe that's what it had to be?

Synergy...twice

This, times 100.

Miller loves Buffalo, FWIW.

Never wanted to leave in the first place.

You couldnt squeeze an extra 5th out of it?

Basically it was this

Boston - We like Hall for a 2nd but we need to dump Bjork on you.

Sabres - Okay.

Boston - You are going to have to add to the deal so we can dump a contract on you we dont want.

SAbres - Okay.

Iafallo would be cool.

Iafallo would be cool.
- TheSabresTaco

Agreed. Maybe he wants to come home?

lol how can you say any of this confidently

adams could have been fleeced here but to suggest he didn't negotiate is just so stupid

honestly, then hold him and raise the middle finger

Sure, but he made it clear that at the end of his career he wanted to be close to home. Maybe that has changed now that his wife doesn't have the regular tv gig. I hope so - he was my favorite player of that era.

Don't like the trade either, but that is not what happened 😂

off season signing?

- IonSabres

probably right

bizarre how a player nobody wanted in the offseason who then had his career worst season resulted in a no win situation when trying to trade him

Just sell the rest of pieces off. Eichel, Sam, Risto.

Start over. We aren’t a playoff team next year anyway. Might as well finish bottom again and just rebuild.

Imagine saying this out loud before the season started

@wyshynski
Sabres GM Kevyn Adams traded Eric Staal, Taylor Hall and Brandon Montour for a second, two thirds, a fifth and Anders Bjork.

so ralph killed

miller
taylor
botts
johansson
e-rod
dalton smith
pilut
ullmark
montour


tried to kill
hall
skinner
eichel
tage
asplund
casey
dahlin


my guess is more to come
- homiedclown

Just can’t get over why all the players kept saying how they loved playing for Ralph. Hall came to Buffalo because he thought Ralph was the man.
Jack kept building Ralph up
Sam said guys are sticking together and the room is positive under Ralph
Someday someone is going to have the book “The Real Ralph Exposed”

Just sell the rest of pieces off. Eichel, Sam, Risto.
