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
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
A lot of moves were made before today. The Leafs could be interesting. I really want Neuvirth out of here. Get rid of Stewart as well, that should be enough for 29th. Giving us a 33% chance at McE
He also isn't afraid to 'lose' a deal either. So he may well be willing to give up more to get something that he sees as value - he clearly doesn't rate picks all that highly in comparison to a more complete prospect
If you are on an internal budget, i'd rather pay a player $4 mil to play, rather than $5 mil to sit on the sofa. In return, Sabres get $4 mil of cap space for the cost of $5 million dollars
