We’ll, I thought I replied to this but it didn’t post? Try again. A 1yr for 1yr player that maybe fills a different need or has a different skill set is fine. The whole team can’t all be at the same point in their contracts. And a young, ready for NHL player that has some risk re: ceiling because they are young is fine too. Just need it to be a hockey trade, not a magic bean trade.
-
Contracts don’t entertain me.
-
No. I want a hockey trade now. Identify the player we need to improve the roster now and use Risto to get that person instead of a lottery ticket that if it cashes in supplies another Risto. Emphasis on “if”. Edit- I also hate late season trade deadline moves cuz they are inevitably lottery ticket deals. Move the player before they become rentals.
-
I cannot unsee this.

I hate Risto for the 19th pick. Just hate it. 1. Enough ***** trades for lottery tickets and 2. What kind of player do you think we pick up at 19? Skilled, but flawed. If you choose wisely you might get another Risto. 3. Assuming 2 is correct (and I will because I believe I am accurate here), using the time value of money concept, a Risto on our roster 3 years from now is less valuable that a Risto on our roster now. 4. The time to get these kids used to winning is now, damn it.

LOL it was the same rending of garments we saw on display over Borgen. Marginal players for Buffalo are nothing players elsewhere around the league.

NHL Fire Sale: Roster Freeze Ends, 1pm eastern, 7/22
Weave replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
I think if we were going to get bamboozaled it would have happened already. The fact that Jack and Sam are still here tells me KA is playing hardball. -
Would be a helluva story, innit?

I hate the idea of losing Samuelsson. He’s the one kid in the organization that I am excited about. But he’s not untouchable for sure. -

4th Period: Buffalo looking for NHL-ready player + for Sam Reinhart
Weave replied to Buffalonill's topic in The Aud Club
Not sure what territory I’m in right now, lol. What is the current read on me? -
I recall the quote’s context as noone ever quit, although I think the word quit wasn’t used. Likely left was used, but the context was quit as I recall. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. Unless we show you the door.

Curious how you define good prog rock if it doesn’t include Rush and Peter Gabriel led Genesis.
-
Disagree. Roy was a good 2C. He played in a time when 2C was the easy minutes guy. 3C was the checking line duty guy and 4C was expected to drop the gloves occasionally or was a kid working his way into the lineup. Because the last two C roles don’t really exist anymore Roy wouldn’t necessarily be a good 2C today, but he’d be a passable one.
-
Reino has the lowest odds of moving, but the likelihood is still much higher than 50% IMO. And the difference in return between Jack and Sam will be about the equivalent of a 3rd line forward.
-
I must have missed some entertaining stuff if that other thread got nuked.

Who will have a better record this season: Sabres or Kraken?
Weave replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
I’m going against the grain. Jack and Risto will be gone but we’ll get enough now players to field a respectable lineup and KA will get is 2 decent goalies. We’ll be neck and neck with the Kraken but draft after them when it is all said and done. -
When the offseason is over and they haven’t picked up decent goaltending. FFS they have time and options. Let’s judge them when we have the results in hand.
-
Fixed for accuracy.
-
So, for the lazy, who does that expose?
-
I think Borgen’s range is much more likely between Mike Weber and McCabe than it is McCabe and McKee. And I don’t think a Weber ceiling is a given at this point.
-
The downside for the other team that may lose a Dreidger was well covered up thread. They had no motivation to trade him to us because it means they would lose someone else. You’re angst is irrational.

Vegas all over again? Seems like you could build a decent foundation off whats been leaked so far.
