Did you not hear Adams say Rhino wasn't signing here after next year? He said it, plain as day.
- Powerslave

He has a year left of RFA status. He didn’t have to trade him then

And the return sucks. Plain as day

years of short term deals to ullmark and reinhart led to this weeks results

Rhino, I'll give you.

Don't act like you, at any time, were an advocate for a long term deal for Ullmark. No one on here was.

The Sabres shouldn’t waste assets on a goalie via trade and should just wait until the waiver wire prior to the season and pick up a couple then for free. They going to stink anyway.

We could have claimed Nedeljkovic last season. We were dropping goalies every game. Never understood why we didnt then.

he was a rental. We got a rental return. Was I hoping for more, yes. But it wasnt that horrible of a trade. No where near the level of a ROR trade.

The Sabres goaltending was so terrible and AHL caliber at best noted by some but the first day of free agency they land jobs in other NHL cities. Maybe trade for another soft forward and a cream puff defenceman to replace McCabe and all will be well. Maybe start looking at the teams real downfall areas. Soft and soft equals no playoffs.

Yeah it’s a really bad trade. One they didn’t have to make then. It is what it is.

I’d be more ok with it if he was about to walk out the door or it was the deadline

It was.

If i would have said that return before the trade, people would have laughed saying no way.

Doesn't change what I said. The jury has ALWAYS been out on Ullmark as to whether he's a bona-fide NHL starting goalie, and anyone who says otherwise on here is full of sh!t.

Yeah they rolled the dice. And lost.

The off-season isn't nearly over.

Plan was to get rid of all 3.

Yes I wanted more, but at the end of the day, take the first now.

We were banking on Hall getting a first, never know what the return might be at the deadline.
