Mitts is still the same player. He shows glimpses of potential but is too inconsistent offensively and defensively and is too old to say he’s still young and developing. He need to go in the off season to make way for an upgrade IMO,

So based on Twitter

Chicken man’s grandpa lives in Ottawa and he has pictures with him already. So he has family in the area

Maybe he chose to go to the sens? Maybe

- Sabretooth9

He doesn't get to choose. He doesn't have a no trade clause. Armstrong is gonna take the best deal on the table.

Yup agreed with Okposo being done. Front office job most likely

I never bought into " asplund was going to replace zemgus". Just didnt make sense.

Greenway replacing girgensons makes sense.

Exclamation points make all the difference. Good job.

Just don't see him in their long term plans with the kids coming up.

50 point season makes it an ideal offseason to move him.

I don't think they see him as a 4th liner.

I don't either, if we get Greenway from a couple years ago would be nice. Think he would look nice next to Krebs

Think it was one or the other before Greenway. Now, I think it might be both.

....but multiple trades sounds insane

Why thank you. Good job. But get back to your hockey comments. They are still worth reading. At least, I think so.

Let's see what Donnie Whispers can do, hopefully find that game again.

That was my original thought, greenway replacing okposo.

I definitely cant see all 3 of greenway , okposo and girgensons on the next roster.

What I like best about this trade, is hopefully greenway is a better player in donnie's system. Better value from greenway then other teams....

I came across a bit harsh earlier, but we replaced the smallest not toughest guy on the team with someone who is tougher and definitely much bigger.

Not to throw out more crap, and this is just one man's opinion, but I find it interesting how far down the list the Sabres are here in light of their push for the future:

Greenway was pretty good a couple years ago, hopefully Donnie can find that again. With his skating I think he could look nice next to Krebs.

As much as I like mitts and olofsson, I could see some upgrades this offseason.

I'd have some concerns about trading all 3 of dahlins best friends, before extending him though......

Bryson is the smallest. VO is the softest.

I know you're just trying to take as many shots as possible on Asplund, but unless you see Greenway sitting, it doesn't make much sense.

What most of us have been saying is this.

But do not get fooled by the late-season surge. That rarely translates over to the next season, and this team is still overflowing with holes”

Everyone is advocating for 4 lines that can skate and drop the traditional checking line.

Girgensons krebs greenway is getting closer .

Maybe peterka Krebs greenway?

I think the 7th round pick in return backed every shot I took at asplund.

He's a tweener.

Somehow your gonna go down fighting on Elmer island .

I find it hard to give asplund the nod over olofsson for who's slightly less soft.

Absolutely agree.

I get the idea picking around #10OA wouldnt devastate KA and company.

Tanking 101, you always like one last swing on the way out of the bottom.
