i think the question is, why was josh bloom worth a depth defenseman

So much for Murphy for Bloom and a 2nd

Only KA can answer that. He will have a presser at some point before or after deadline

So if this bum is worth a high level b prospect does that make schnn worth like savoie?

Kevo isn't the kind of guy to just throw prospects away. Gonna take a long time to find out, but if he's a tweener for his career... I mean..

Unless this deal has a handshake future considerations tied to it, WTF Adams

Also hard to believe that Bloom was only peddled to Vancouver.

He's here to take punches to the face so Dahlin and Co. Hopefully don't have to as much.

says a lot about the opinions of clague and bryson that they needed to add stillman.

Must have pissed Adams off, sent him 3000 miles away from home. Kids family live about a 2hrs away from Buffalo.

Career AHL guys. But Stillman is not the NHL answer.

he was already under sabres contract so they must have liked him

lateral move at best


bad trade

Only thing i could think of is he was looking for a rfa ... but his contract is almost as bad as brysons

I agree

yeah, we can only guess at the reasoning here.

we all know all these forwards, with this young team, are probably going to have a very difficult time cracking the lineup in the next, what, 8 years?

We have 3 'A' list guys in Kulich, Savoie and Ostlund. A ton of 'B' guys in AHL and over seas. Who knows what this '23 pick is going to be. I'm fine giving up a probably bottom 6 guy, who can be bought for a few million dollars anyway, for an NHL player.

The concern, on both sides, is why is Josh Bloom, a player a lot of folks like, with a low ceiling, only be worth a depth defenseman?

We know he's probably 3 years out from ever putting on an NHL jersey, so that could be part of it. The other is like I said before, bottom 6 wingers are dime a dozen. One would just think a player like that is worth a bit more.

Apparently not.

adds a different dimension than clague and bryson. and it was an nhl player for a long term prospect.

gonna have to disagree with 'lateral'
