You're assuming that this is whole thing was not the agent's doing
- Slump Buster

the agents planned on watt "overruling them" and "marching" into the offices saying "done deal"?

ummmm...maybe...but i really don't think so

I'd want both D and the unprotected first. And probably Cossa. Raymond has nothing to offer us.

I can't see a deal happening till Eichel plays some hockey though. Whether it's with USA or in Buffalo he's going to have to show he can play at top speed again

Why do we need Edvinsson ?

Are the Sabres gonna bring back Kreuger as an advisor and play with 5 LHD on the ice ?

can't see it as anything more than a tire kicker. Doubt they feel like giving us Raymond and Seider.

They have nothing else to offer lol

Why not grab a stud defensive d-man? We need to stock the cupboards everywhere. Can't have enough prospects

Confession : I never liked the Beatles. I'll be 56 in November, and I've often said the Beatles were totally overrated. I can't think of one song of theirs that I enjoy.

You just specifically said we have no use for a stud offensive prospect like Lucas Raymond, but your ok with Edvinsson despite already having Dahlin and Power.

Makes no sense to me but to each their own

I think he's probably right about Hagg and Eakin. My picks of Hayden and Samuelsson were based more on what I'd like to see than anything else.

I really don't like the UPL idea. What's the point of having him here this year over playing him 50 games with Roch?
