Eleven

Someone got pegged, all right. I don't care what the experts said. My standards for a Hall trade are well-published on this board. Scorched earth policy has a value to it, too. Scorched earth. This team would have gained more in the long term by keeping Hall and spiting the rest of the league, than it gained today.

It's also not this team. He had more value than this.

Hall is a recent Hart winner and Adams is a freaking idiot letting him go for a second and a 4th line swap.

But they might get a third-round pick for him!

All he has is Hart.

If you think I overrate draft picks, you haven't been reading what I've been writing.

Come on. Look at other trades. Foligno, Palmeri, etc. Adams could and should have done better. Come on. Look at other trades. Foligno, Palmeri, etc. Adams could and should have done better. Come on. Look at other trades. Foligno, Palmeri, etc. Adams could and should have done better.

nope

It's Adams's job to wear the big-boy pants.

So Boston didn't have a third-round pick to give to the Sabs?

Terry Pegula had nothing to do with this and Kevyn Adams is disappointing me for the ninetieth time this month.

There will be murderin' done. All 6 in Boston, probably.

Liked her better with The Sugarcubes than solo.

Don't you dare

Yeah, that's kind of consistent with my point.

The last third-round Sabres pick that was a "hit," and I am using that loosely, was McNabb, in 2009. Twelve years ago. Before him, you have to look at Afinogenov and maybe Sheppard.

No, it isn't. They can give up a good prospect if they want Hall and don't have a 2021 first. Hall is a hot commodity and the Sabres must treat him like such.

Great. I'll be sixty when he's a starter.

You put that together and couldn't use "Jordanian"?

If a third round pick even is part of the return, there will be murder.

Screw him, and his weird name, and his weird face. Spell your name like you say it, already. EDIT: In case he couldn't get more plastic-paddy Southie than I thought, he actually married a woman yclept Jordan Sullivan. Geez.

They're a clever bunch....

I understand what you're saying but I just can't stand draft picks after the first round as a trade return. Makes me crazy. Also, Irwin can be tied to a stone and thrown into Lake Erie. (Ok, that might be a bit severe. A bit.)

One of the idiots said that the Flyers got a point. How would that even be possible in a two goal loss?

Because the 3 likely will not materialize into anything. I'd take a player for Rochester over that BS pick, which likely will be a player for Rochester IN TWO YEARS.
