Went from having to many RD to not having many in the cupboards, especially when Viking gets traded.

Yes the clown car could have made a side deal? But that would be out of character! Trade the tough guys who protect you teammates! And trade them in for skirts!! Last year we were getting Eakins Reider and Irwin for toughness that was a joke!!!

Old adage - just because you COULD, does not mean you SHOULD.

Kaltata sharpened my kid's skates once. He didn't try to fight him or anything, which was nice.

So a higher floor. Which would make sense as one was a 2nd rounder v 4th rounder. If it wasn't/isn't a point of emphasis, why even say it at all, much less lead off with it? Up until 2 years McCabe was a 2nd pairing at best player for what looked like his career. Borgen can do that too. It's not a nothing loss was my point, it's also not losing the next Orr.

You’re taking it as “higher floor”
What I’m saying is that McCabe showed more before he got here…. and Borgen hasn’t shown much at all
Which means we still really don’t have much of an idea what Borgen will become as an NHL player
Maybe good?
Maybe not?

I wanted to keep him too
But it’s not a huge deal at this point

None that matter

Paul Hamilton is very, very angry about losing Borgen.

I mean, yeah I've said nearly the exact same thing the whole time. The track that he was on was a positive one though, and my only comparison to McCabe was that they both would have came into the league around their 6th year.

And idk about Borgen not showing much. He played very well for St. Cloud through his whole career, and has been pretty solid in the A the majority of his tenure. Didn't look out of place during the callups. But yes, moot point now.

If PH is upset about losing Borgen, then it seems it was the right move. Not sure Capt Obvious should ever be considered as a great talent assessor.

Laaksonen down in Rochester but he needs another year down there. Dumba will be a good add.😏

And lots of guys “come into the league in year 6” and end up being nothing- even guys that were good in college

Maybe we can get Cal Foote from Tampa as a sweetener to take a contract from them.

They are trading risto for Myers. Signing Chara and drafting power. They want the tallest defensive group in the league.

Well Cal will fit in then, think he's 6'5

Could Steve Nelson CB be on his way to Buffalo

at the very least he's an nhl defenseman and he spent six years in the sabres system...it's a loss...how significant is to be determined, but it's a loss
- Michael Pachla

The six years in developing him is the loss. We finally went the right way on developing someone, who looked pretty good in the blue and gold, and poof, gone

We lost the best defensemen in NHL history …. Sabres wise if you checked twitter

The wild media guy wgr interviewed. Dumba would be a cap dump. He’s not great for what he makes
