Gionta and a first

Hockey Insider now has Pommers and Gionta involved in a trade :sick:

Yeah, and management were renowned for treating the players well and providing a place players wanted to stay - i think it really helps when you have stars staying their whole life with a franchise (scarily they came so so so close to drafting Bure in the 5th round, someone convinced them not to, then they were gonna take him in the 6th round and Vancouver nabbed him three sports above them)

The journeyman in round 3 and the 4th line scrub in round 4 mostly, the AHLer in round 1 also helped and the water boy in round 6 made a pretty complete team

The fact he is 5'6', only 4 years younger than Pommers, and far worse defensively, and puts up less points

Check the Red Wings '89 draft ;)

I'm presuming this a joke?

Has Adam been called up because we are going to sit some players? Even with Leino out, we still have like 14 forwards

I think i'd put it closer to 90% I just don't think you ask for the list unless you have some real options

Without wanting to be a DR apologist again. I still think he did this trade to line ourselves with the chance to have options for a run. I agree with everything you have said though - maybe Regehr gave him a small list of teams he would agree to though? Would people have preferred this deal? Regehr for 2014 2nd and 2013 2nd (conditional on them winning two rounds)

I agree with you on everything :wub:

This could actually be a good deal. If we make some moves and become semi-contenders next year (Montreal style) then this gives us much greater flexibility for making buyer trades - as second rounders are the going currency for anyone decent. But yeah it sucks for the moment

Well that makes the picks much more boring

Pommer has a better ppg than Vanek in the playoffs

Buffalo Sports ‏@Buffalo_Sports2m Hearing Buffalo #Sabres will trade Jason Pominville and Nathan Gerbe to Minnesota Wild for Mikael Granlund and Jonas Brodin

Slava Malamud ‏@SlavaMalamud2m "Good thing I never bothered to memorize their names" - my wife on the #Sabres firesale.

Is it normal for the trade to have not been announced this long after it has broken?

LA is now over their roster limit apaz - another move must be coming for them. Probably why this hasn't been finalised yet

Hey if David can beat Goliath... :/

LA's 5th - updated my post (thanks for the reminder though, knew i had forgotten one)

Pretty soon the Sabres will be hosting competitions for fans to fill the number of holes in this roster. What is wrong with Leino?

BUF 1st BUF 2nd STL 2nd LA 2nd BUF 3rd BUF 5th LA 5th STL 4th/5th (conditional) BUF 6th BUF 7th (we also have all our picks and LA's 2nd next year)

I just don't think any team wants to trade roster players this time of year - it is counter intuitive

Basically a first for Bouwmeester - how he has fallen in the hockey world. St Louis have a nice top 4 though If St Louis miss the playoffs this year, they add a 4th, keep the 2013 1st and trade their 2014 first Elliot remembered he was a mediocre back-up. Halak was injured and hasn't regained form since

I presume one is 2014
