  10. Trade Deadline 2016

    Well if we are dealing our third this year, it's not going to be 80. More like 61-65. 

     

    So it would possibly be pick 50, or 62 and McGinn for the rest of the season.

     

     

    We've got the Blues third (plus another oddball one) in addition to ours

    Depending on which third we would deal in this scenario, and what team we trade him to, we could be dealing McGinn to move up a matter of a few spots in the draft, from early third to late second. So that would be McGinn for almost nothing.

     

    Yep, that is what I'm saying.

     

    You want McGinn for pick 80?

    Or McGinn and 80 for 50?

     

    Sounds like that's the market

    My Drouin comment was more tongue-in-cheek than serious, but here's my take on Bogosian insofar as I'd like to move him: I want my defensemen to be able to contribute to the generation of offense, even if they're not directly getting points, and he's bad at the traits necessary to do so. He has no outlet pass to speak of, and makes maddeningly inconsistent decisions while trying to put forth his offensive foot. I just think he has minimal offensive hockey sense, and doesn't have the skills to compensate for that in other ways. So you're left with arguing his value based on his potential defensive contributions--"hard to play against" and physicality. While he throws some nice body checks, his physicality is just as inconsistent as his offensive game--he frequently either loses a net front battle, or worse, doesn't even engage in it. It's infuriating to watch when that's supposed to be what he brings! I'd be much more forgiving of his lackluster offensive game if he had a monster defensive game, but he just doesn't. His reputation doesn't match his play. Do I think he's worthless? No, but his play is more reminiscent of a 3rd pair player than a 2nd pair, and he's paid to be not just a 2nd pair Dman, but a good one. Add to it that he misses a quarter of every season with injury, and I really think we can do better.

    But he played pretty good last night, right!

    I think you are going to see a third, or a couple thirds packaged with McGinn to up his value to a player or pick Timmy wants.

     

    I also think the Sabres are trying very hard to make a hockey trade, if there is one available

    I don't think anybody actually said this, did they? Some people were questioning odd comments he made before.

    Wasn't referring to that clip from a week or so ago.

    It's just a meme that seems to pop up from time to time.

    Although it's not so bad since prominent players actually started coming to Buffalo.

    I have one Zach Bogosian. Big, physical playoff player under contract. You know you want him Stevie!

    Really though, as someone who wants to roll the dice on Drouin, that seems like a really high asking price given all the questions.

    Be interesting to see what Stevie gets there.

    Will he be able get an auction going that makes up for all the baggage?

    I don't remember Hecht ever being a regular on the 4th line.

    Wasnt the fourth line Mair, Goose and Peters?

     

    Point taken though. Kotalik was probably at a similar level as McGinn.

    And if that roster was healthy he was probably the number 4 RW

     

    Damn, that was deep hockey team.
