Perfect time to trade him... :ph34r: He has irritated me less this year

Tavares was the clear number one, but then as it got closer to the draft people started questioning if he should go first overall or if he was first because of the hype. It happens every year really, as people start to focus on the stars flaws more than anything http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Next_One Well I admit that was before my hockey time, but i figure as there was no season there was little else to do but rave about how good Crosby would be

Nah Tavares is a step above those two. He was called the next one before his draft year

It has probably been mentioned, but did anyone else notice that in the documentary about McDavid, the house Connor billets with, the son was wearing a Buffalo Sabres T-shirt Crosby McDavid Tavares MacKinnon Eichel Stamkos Eichel is a bit tricky, as if McDavid wasn't around he would be talked of a lot more!

I really like Larsson's game

I'll throw this out there and watch Eleven burn. I like weird numbers it is interesting. I also decided should I ever end up on the Sabres roster I would resurrect Patches' 38

For me, the last two unknowns/doubts are: 1) Has CoHo returned to a 50 point player? 2) Will one of the goalies jump at the chance to show themselves as a potential 'starter'

Mitchell is a 4th liner Flynn is a 4th liner Neuvy is a decent back-up goalie Stewart is an inconsistent 2nd line winger The only one of any worth is Stewart and TSN ripped him a new one saying we should keep him because he makes the team worse by simply being on the ice. Teams didn't really want him. And no-one was going to pay much for the rest. The difference between Neuvirth and Johnson is a third round pick

Completely with you. As long as Nolan is gone. Which I am also hopeful for!

'today'

A partially developed prospect is more useful than a 2nd. But interesting idea

It's 3 years away. Honestly this is basically a 2015 4th

Murray never seems to get great returns on players

Trading picks for a draft 3 years away seems ridiculous

2017 2nd pick for Stewart

Mitchell got more than Flynn?

Yes

No I completely agree. I was just hoping for a second wind. I guess no Gaborik/Vanek style UFAs this year either

I'm talking league wide. That would make it a lot more interesting, but it didn't

This has been the worst deadline in 5 years. Hands down 12 actual NHL trades (being generous)

No way to prove it really. We signed big name free agents, traded a UFA and our best D man for an injured player and a great D man and traded away two UFA goalies. Nothing all that unusual

It is to improve the tank. Neuvy was damaging it

Let's face it, this is basically just a dump. If we weren't tanking i'd rather keep Neuvirth and try and sign him So you're saying we're about to go 20-0-0? :p

:D

Woooooo. Chance at 29th now
