  1. I can't wait until the "I only post near the trade deadline" posters go back into hibernation.

     

    Come on man, we need to get rid of Drew Stafford and I think if we throw in one or two late round picks Chicago would give us Patrick Kane, who would love to come home to Buffalo

  2. I would hope someone quit over yesterday's massacre. Not everyone could have been on board with that. That substantially alterred the direction and future of the franchise.

    What do you mean? You would not have done that trade? What, held out for more when you know both players could just walk away at end of season? This was a no brainer trade
  3. I expected that moving a top 5ish in the league goalie and a top flight 3rd line / decent 2nd line LW with grit, faceoff ability, and oodles of leadership to a legit Stanley Cup contender would get us something more immediate than a prospect that is still a couple years out and two picks that won't see the light of FnC for at least 3 years. Hell, the prospect we did get isn't even among StL's top 3 prospects.

    We got alot. But I'm not interested in equating numbers of return with quality of return. I'd rather see one ready-for-primetime player that was at the top of their prospect pool than a pile that looks like Drew Stafford heavy and 3 guys with a 50/50 shot of contributing in the NHL.*IF* all this works out we aren't going to see any gain from it for another 4 friggin years. I guess that is my issue with the trade results. I can stomach another year. Not exactly willing, but, you know. But I don't want picks. No more fecking picks. we need players ready to play.

    I'm willing to wait. I don't want them to patch together a team that's just good enough to make playoffs, I want a team that can make a serious run and that will take time
  4. Really it's all just an educated guess on all these prospects. We are really loading up on educated guesses and if half of them turn out to be good pros we will have a good team her in a few years.

     

    Carrier, Grigerenko, Gergensons, the two young defenseman, All those top draft picks still to be picked up and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

     

    Rebuilding is not without it's interesting aspects in spite of all the losing...
