No buyer at the deadline is going to give up a decent player, we all know that. So save a guy like Ehrhoff, who is a huge value for any team, and trade him to some team somewhere for younger players, if he's being traded at all, after the season is over. The Sabres won't be the only team rebuilding come July.
Agreed, and that is the rub, but the Sabres seem willing to deal and Moulson is still out there. Just wondering what would allow the Sabres to get something other than picks for these guys during the trade deadline. Maybe the answer is nothing, but that has to be the asking price. Otherwise, re-sign Moulson and if the right thing comes along during the offseason, Moulson and Hoff should be shopped for young players.

odd, that i got this one right.

Moulson looks back maybe not so fast and Erhoff chatter picking up too. 5 days to go. We will see. P.S. Keep Meyers. That set up for Moulson was awesome and empty netter took some nads roofing it.
-
He won't play much per Nolan. If the Sabres sent him to some contender that needs a backup, what do we think they could get for him? Second-round pick this year would be fine by me.
I'd take a 2nd in 2015..

So for the first time and a long time I didn't hate on Leino last night. The Moulson, Leino and Stafford line seemed to have some chemistry. Too bad that can't happen for an entire season and it goes against Tank nation. But not bad.
-
I too am concerned that the Sabres didn't get a young gun for this. It may not have been able to happen for just Miller, but you had to think trading both Miller and Ott would have netted you one up and coming guy. Stewart is not that, will see about Carrier... and late round 1st rounders are just that, who knows.
Numbers as people have said before don't make quality. I am more excited about the 2015 first round pick. Flip Steward and the conditional pick for a prospect or two if Erhoff is included.

Bought an 8x10 photo on eBay today to add to my goalie wall. Miller will join Biron, Shields and Malarchuk.
I'm sad. :(
You need to get a Roger Crozier

True, but I want roster players, and that's not going to happen at the deadline. (I realize TM's method is different.)
What is your logic on roster players. You want guys who are already playing at the NHL level that are young and have talent? While I like your sentiment, I do think it is going to be hard to find a team willing to give up a talented young guy. Maybe with all the picks the Sabres are getting, they could package an Erhoff for say a young gun out of Edmonton, but I still don't see it happening right now if say it was one of they guys on the Colorado. Any other teams out there, say the Blue Jackets or the Predators or even Tampa who need scoring from a Moulson, or D from Erhoff that could translate into some of what you are talking about?

Stafford loses another friend... waaaaaaaa.

I wonder how the language is written out on that one. There must be some hard cutoff on the re-signing due to the timing of the draft.
Murray said they got league approval for all of it right before the game.
-
Still trying to digest, but sorry to see Otter go... Hopefully he will come back. Glad they got some good young return for both.
-
Time to be a huge blues fan!!
Same colors and they are playing well.

Trade Myers? First I've heard of it.
2 thoughts ........if it brings in young talent up front I'm good with that.
If Murray thinks Ekblad is the best player in the draft, he should pull the trigger. The blue line will be a crowded house in two years.
TSN.ca had a note about him yesterday on its trade center article from Darren Dreger: At the bottom of it almost as an afterthought...
Dreger:
In terms of Myers, there is considerable interest according to sources close to the Buffalo Sabres. But GM Tim Murray isn't trying to push this guy out the door. Is he available? Is he interested in moving him? Yes he is. We're looking at Toronto as potentially a fit, as would be the Anaheim Ducks. And the Colorado Avalanche are definitely looking for a defenceman. So there will be options, but come ready to pay a premium.
Being a "top scorer" on the worst roster in franchise history is not the distinction you are making it out to be.
Maybe, but Ennis and Hodgson... really, not unless you get two quality forwards back in return. I don't see how any of that idea works unless you get two #1s for each in the 2015 draft.

What I was getting at is I think the odds are favorable that we already have a horse in the system, and at worst, we still have a really solid collective top-4. We have one we know is a top pairing D, and three others who might be (and if they flop may still be good 2nd pair guys), plus another 3 who project to second pairing and could be nice 3rd pair players if they don't max their potential. Obviously it's nearly impossible they all hit their ceiling and a few will bust entirely...but even if the "hit" rate is only 50% and none develop into a total stud, that's still a really nice top-4. I'm definitely in favor of redundancy in the system to account for busts...and I think we have that. Even in the worst case scenario, at least we still have Ehrhoff, who is a legit top-pair guy.
Forwards are another matter entirely. If the worst case scenario hits there (Grigs/Armia both bust, Girgensons is a 3rd liner, and Hodgson/Ennis are who they are...and I think this worse case scenario is much more likely to play out than the worst case with our defensemen), we're not going to be a contender regardless of what our blue line looks like. We simply can't afford not to get some redundancy among forwards. Sure it can change with player movement, but if we're taking Ekblad then we're relying on either an existing player to get us some top forward talent or a prospect for prospect swap. How often do those things happen? We've been hearing for two years now how Edmonton was right to take Yakupov because they can just flip one of their forwards for defensive help. Yes, Edmonton is incompetent and not the best example, but I still can't think of many instances where 1st line forwards or forward prospects were moved.
I might feel differently if Ekblad were in a different prospect stratosphere than the forwards, but nothing I've read indicates that is the case. It's not like we're comparing the value of a #1D to a #2C.
And we have been saying this for years to Darcy... nothing new and I couldn't agree more, get a high value center pick in this draft. Keep an eye out for a late developing D man. D take longer to develop generally and can a stud can be found and developed. I want centermen, guys who put out effort and can score. Get er done.

I am tracking all the trade rumor things on the internet.... I know 8 days away. Still wish it was happening now. So if this game prompts movement, I am all for it.
Still think Cane fans are the most ignorant hockey fans on the planet....and don't deserve a team.
-
I wish the game could be made up of amateurs, but with the KHL and Swedish Elite league etc... not sure you can keep out the professionals. The only thing I could see is if you made in an under 21 deal like the World Junior Championships. Short of that, I wouldn't trust any country to not put in ringers...
And I agree Benedict... they the players do seem to like it and the Networks loved it.

Plus St. Louis wife's family is from Southern CT. Worked with his father-in law for a little while in Stamford... so this would make sense and why Boomer is chirping about it.

For Millbank and all my Canadian Sabre fans, now that the US is miserably out... Go Canada. Crosby showed up..!

Had a puck signed by Jerry Korab and Gil Perrault when I was a kid... at a GM dealership in Tonowanda. Use to chat with former D Mike Kotska, now with the Hawks, while the UMass guys were working out and when there was open skate at the Mullin Center. Really nice guy. Quick kinda hung out out back.
Took care of Scotty Bowman's two white Shepherds, when he brought them into the Blue Cross Animal clinic when I was in high school. Worked cleaning up there. That is about all my band camp stories. Oh and I had a connected friend get me a hockey stick autographed by all the 75 Buffalo Sabres. Still have it. It is on an old Northland wooden stick.
-
I was disappointed that I had to work during the last two games... but man, now I am not. Interesting that both the Russians and Americans collapsed after tough losses. Guess it is hard for the big guys to take a punch in the mouth. The Canadians simply play hockey, tough game or not. Good lesson to learn. I figure with as much pressure both teams had on them and as close as the talent was, collapses were inevitable, though the American collapse's size was a little surprising.
Back to the trade deadline discussion.
-
Yo Mama so fat she's probably American!
And your father so drunk Canadian that he thinks she rivals Bo Derek.
What is the difference between Americans and the engines of the jets on which they travel abroad?
After they land, the engines of the jets quit whining.
Oh, I have heard that one the other way around. Canadian's just add in MUM and aaawk... to their whine.

Bagged milk.... lmao..... it's also proudly labeled ######..... :lol:
I remember drinking that as a kid as well as powdered milk at my folks cottage on the Georgian Bay. Like Coors, it isn't bad if it is cold, but unless it is just the warm side of ice... skim milk as more substance.
