I agree leave Miller on the bench. I'm sure he's pissed he's not playing but quick is a better goalie. He just didn't get any support. Kane created some chances as did Kessel but not much from anyone else. If I'm St. Louis I trade for Miller I think he would be a big upgrade in net.

I would laugh if teams lowball snow for Vanek. I wouldn't overpay for a rental. I'm sure he has certain teams on his mind that he wants to play for at the end of season. I also agree now with Tavares done I highly doubt we get there 2014 1st rounder. I just don't see the Islanders being any better in 2015 which gives us a great shot at McDavid with their pick. I hate to really say this but Regier looks like a genius in this trade . Snow should have never put Moulson in that package. But lucky us!

I agree I don't think many players are wanting to go to the Islanders. Now if they can keep Vanek and maybe trade for another decent player and goalie I think they would be a playoff team. Maybe not this year because they are far back but in years to come. If snow is smart if they lose Vanek and get nothing back I would almost certainly keep the 2015 1st rounder and give my team a good chance to land McDavid. I just don't see the Islanders being that much better next year losing Vanek and it's not a place where free agents want to go. -

I'm thinking a lot of teams are low balling for our unrestricted free agents. Me personally unless you already have a solid shot at the cup I don't know if I mortgage too much away for a possible rental unless you feel he is the last piece of the puzzle. -
Prediction time: who's getting traded, and when?
SabresBillsFan replied to nfreeman's topic in The Aud Club
You have to have a solid veteran or two to build a young team around. I don't know if it's such a good idea to trade every unrestricted free agent without offering them a contract. It should be very interesting to see who gets moved. -
Very true on scouting overseas with Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Players like that just don't slip by most good scouts. U won't see the Wings sneak players like that again. The thing about Murray that I like is he is concentrating on scouting these junior players. I can see him moving a few of these second rounders in this years draft and possibly next years 2nd rounders to acquire a couple of first round targets in the next two drafts that he is eyeing.

When you have a good team it's easier to add pieces thru free agency or a trade if the team is good. Most players want to be on solid teams. Anaheim built around Getzlaf and Perry and those two are pretty darn good to build around. We have nothing close to that in Buffalo. Detroit has Datsyuk and Zetterberg and we have nothing close to those two. Yes you can build a team without landing a top 3 pick but it's not easy.

That's what happens when you decide to draft a lot of defenseman. Then throw in a lot of late runs to screw up a better pick and you have a mediocre roster. Plus you think of all the seconds he gave up for rentals how retarded. We are in year 1 of this cleanup I still think we are 3-5 years before making playoffs and that means the tank must keep rolling!

Problem not only is the defense but the lack of goal scoring! This team doesn't have many games with 3 or more goals do they. And when they do finally start scoring more the other team seems to put more in the net. I still think whoever they draft will get 10 games or less and then sent back to their respected league. This is the new management style to develop these players. I don't know about you but as bad as this season is we have to be just as bad next year to have a shot at McDavid.
-
You don't want to be to much better next year the key is McDavid. He has been pretty hyped for some time now. Bad thing all these late season runs hurt this squad for the future. We could have been top 3 last year in a great draft class. Now we might be picking 1-3 in a mediocre class. It figures that's Buffalo's luck. We still need to endure one more $hitty season to get this team better.

If Buffalo drafts a defenseman with their 1st pick when they are offensively challenge I think people will be pissed. We need Reinhart or Bennett with that first pick if we have a top 3 pick. Also It all depends on what New York does with that pick they traded us. If I'm another team wanting Vanek I don't plan on giving up a lot for him since he's going to test the market. Plus watching Vanek in New York is he's been very lazy. I'm not spending big money on a player that isn't going hard all game. To me Tavares is worth every penny. I'm sure management and teammates are pissed since he turned there offer down. The message it's sends is so bad. He knows he's going to get paid bank. I still think he goes to Minny after Heatley is gone at the end of the season.

GAME DISCUSSION THREAD GDT: Edmonton at Buffalo 2-3-14 at 7:00 PM EST

Well at least they lost! Keep that tank rolling for another season and I will be a happy man if they can land Reinhart or Bennett with McDavid. That would make all this suffering worth while.
