I don't think we get that much for Halak unless paired with another player!

Ducks need additional scoring on the other lines.

Someone reporting Ducks might be making move for Kesler! They have alot of players they could give up and still be good next year. I could see them giving up Smith-Pelly, Vitanen, and Etem plus pick to get him.

I will laugh if the Islanders get next to nothing for Vanek!

I still expect something to happen with Buffalo before tomorrow's deadline. It's going to be to move Halak for something decent with all these goalies on the move. There is still Thomas, Brodeur and possibly Cam Ward still available.

Which means Tim Thomas will be moved probably to Philly. I think we might be stuck with Halak!

Robidias is a solid move by them, I still think Anaheim might go all in this year since Selanne is gone at the end of the season to retirement. Still need defense and they have a bunch of softies up front. I would be more worried up Colorado in the future than Edmonton.

That is a strong possiblity that Miller goes to Anaheim now that Fasth is gone and with Hiller still unsigned. That might leave his decision to sign a long term deal with the Blues up in the air. Should be very interesting now I'm also thinking that Anaheim might go all in this year because it is Selanne's last hurrah.

I don't think teams are gonna overpay for Halak. And Bryz going to Minny wow. If he couldn't make it in Edmonton how is he gonna do it with a better team.

I'm sure Penner is going to be thrilled about that move. He lives in South California full time I believe. He won't do much for Washington.

I'm wondering if they had any talks with any of the unrestricted free agents. To me I'm sure some of this might have led to LaFontaine wanting to resign. You want players to come here but you offer no contracts to the one's that are already here. Makes no sense.

Sorry I have watched since 91 hockey in Las Vegas grow but not to a level where we could support a fulltime NHL team. More Basketball and Football fans in this town.

Who cares if they plan to buy them to give away when you still see tons of empty seats that people got for free that didn't show up. Vegas is a bad bad idea.

Very true. They just don't have a clue on how to run this team. Constant coaching changes, constant player changes lose 1 solid player just to use another 1st round pick on a player that just left. They will never get it. That's the only thing that puzzles me about the Bills Fanbase is why do you constantly show up to watch this garbage. I bet LaFontaine wanted to keep Miller and Ott and add pieces to it. Weren't they saying they want to keep players that want to be here and land Buffalo as a place where free agents can come. Tear it down and start over is what I'm guessing Murray has in mind plus like someone else said it buys him more years to right the ship.

I could tell you for a fact that NHL won't work in Las Vegas. Don't get me wrong we do have alot of fans but not enough to fill a building night in and night out. It would be much worse that Phoenix.

I wouldn't bite and I like Spezza. Let Murray do his thing at the draft and keep piling up picks.

I don't even know why people pay much attention to the Bills. They are a farm team for the rest of the NFL. When Marcell Dareus contract is up he will be gone as well. When will people learn why bother going to Bills game's and supporting a team that has no clue on how to put a winning team together and try to keep it together.

I live in Las Vegas and we don't have enough to get a team here. That would be pure stupidity if they expand to Las Vegas. The pro team we have draws on 2000-7000 and I'm being generous on the 7,000. I lived in Buffalo for my first 16 years and have watched Las Vegas expand but the only market I see happening and that is a long shot is the NBA.

Any player we can get in the top 3 should be a solid player. I really think Edmonton takes Ekblad if they end up with a top 3 pick with us. Reinhart or Bennett should be a good prize if we don't land 1st overall. I would much rather get the 1st overall next year and have the second or third pick in this years draft.

I have liked Lafontaine since he was a Buffalo Sabre but if he hired Murray and they didn't see eye to eye he should have never hired him. I'm sure LaFontaine wanted to keep Miller and Steve Ott (Especially since Ott wanted to stay) and after Murray was set on unloading both I'm sure Lafontaine was pissed. I thought they wanted to keep players that wanted to be here. This is my opinion if we are gonna do a complete overhaul like Darcy was doing you might as well keep it going and load up on prospects and more picks. This team wasn't going anywhere with Miller or Ott until they add alot more pieces. And you can't afford to lose two guys to unrestricted free agency for nothing. This team was 1 second line and 3 4th lines. No real true threats of goal scoring up front and nothing to really build around for the future up front. This team doesn't have much to keep up with Colorado in the future. I said this before and I will say it again this is gonna be at least 3-5 years before we see playoffs and I'm leaning closer to 5. If Murray plays his cards right and with all these picks he can land players that he feels a top line guys. We have a solid shot at having a great team for the future with these two upcoming drafts and with what we already have in the system. And I'm not talking about Grigs but more of Compher, Batiste, Armia, Risto, Zadorov, McCabe.

I agree with this. I'm looking forward to seeing what Tim is going to do this upcoming week. People talk about the picks but the good thing is with all these extra picks if Tim has someone he wants the extra ammo to make a deal with picks is greatly needed. I'm really looking to see Murray in action at the draft. I'm sure he has players that he has scouted numerous times already and will do almost whatever it takes to get them.

So does Nolan stay or does he leave as well? I for one like Nolan as I feel he gets alot out of his players. I will be pissed if he doesn't get the heading coaching spot fulltime.

They better put this to bed quickly they don't need more negative stuff coming out of this team especially during a rebuild and for the future. They don't need more negative press if they want quality free agents to land in Buffalo. What is more depressing is that Nolan doesn't sound that great in that news conference. I'm wondering if he even will accept the full-time heading coaching spot in Buffalo after this mess. What a joke this is becoming. If some of this has to do with Ryan Miller and Steve Ott not getting contract offers or some other BS thing between PLF and Murray I will be pissed.

I have to agree we need some players that can play now but you also need some vets around to help with the young guys. If Murray is such a great talent evaluator then he is gonna want to have as many picks as possible in order to pick certain players. But here is my real question. I'm sure someone might have mention this already but what if the blues don't make the WCF's and then decide to sign Miller after the draft? What happens to that pick? Is it just a third in 2016?
