Levi was sick during World Juniors.

Yikes if true. Absolute yikes.

Levi is kind of a long shot to be good

What's up Rat, was hoping Florida would be in on Rhino, how about Tippett and Denisenko
- Buff36

Idk, don’t get to watch enough Sabres games to have an opinion on Rhino, and from reading the varying opinions here idk what to think about him, lol. Maybe one or the other plus picks, don’t think you’ll get both Tippett and Denisenko. I think FL would move Denisenko before Tippett, but I really don’t know. They also have a couple of good D prospects coming up in Gildon and Ludvig and kolnachuk (idk how to spell his name correctly).

Norm MacDonald was a madman on the View back in the day. He was outing Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton and tons of people on there waaaay before this cancel-culture crap.

Also had awesome musical performances back in the day. Do yourself a favor and look up Sade performing Soldier of Love on the View. Incredible.

When he tried to be PC on Howard Stern by saying "you'd have to have Down Syndrome not to feel sorry for the victims" then he had to go on the View to apologize for the apology.

This is embarrassing if that is the trade. He basically gave sam away for free

Apparently they only watched small tournaments to decide who they wanted... Barely over 6 foot, played in some league called the CCHL last year..

Sam Reinhart is a solid 50-60 point guy whos a really good complimentary player to a lineup gets to the dirty areas in front of the net and will surprise you with a sick pass here and there. Nothing flashy just a solid top 6 C/RW.

Doesn't sound like we got either one unless there's more contigent on Sam signing a extension.

Wow guys, we just saw a unicorn! it's a real live Florida Panthers fan.

C’mon, you can do better than that
At least be original....

From Chad

"I think the high pick is a conditional 2022 1st"

looking like levi and a cond. 1st if reinhart resigns with them

That's no longer allowed.

The condition better be "it must be a top 10 or the Sabres get their next 3 firsts" It's going to be in the 20's, that's not a "high pick".

That's no longer allowed.
- Lunaion

I have no idea why they only killed that condition when they still allow all the others

That's no longer allowed.
- Lunaion

That would explain why it seemingly lingered in the league office.

Wonder if this puts the kibosh on it

There’s just no way that’s it. There would be no need for urgency for this deal to happen. There has to be more value coming back to Sabres.

Here’s an idea- reserve judgement until we see the full trade.
If it’s only ends up being Levi and a conditional 1st then flame away.

I sure hope so

oh?

To sum up the day...

We trade Risto for an excellent return, then draft a kid who has some potential but only flashed in the world juniors, over a few other options

Then we trade Reinhart in the division for a 7th round goalie who played in the CCHL and then did well in the world juniors and a conditional 1st round pick which will likely be 25th ish

It's clear the Sabres scouting staff only watched the world juniors and the world championships then just said (frank) it to the rest

Levi was sick during World Juniors.
- jimmy mcnaulty

Played the whole tourney with a cracked/broken rib, too. Happened in first game and he kept it quiet because he wasn’t losing his opportunity that he fought for. He was like their third goalie when team got together, long shot to even make team, and he won the net over much more highly rated prospects.

C’mon, you can do better than that

- Ratsreign

eh maybe, I'm just salty that the Sabres traded you a great player for pennies on the dollar
