Trettioåtta

He is 23 and on track for a normal 40 point season - he is also very good defensively. Not bad really, If we got him + picks etc.

Chris Higgins has been resigned to a 4 year deal ($10 mil)

Talks must not be very far along

Get it right

Mike Schopp ‏@Schopptalk47m Columbus, St. Louis, Anaheim, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Washington, Winnipeg, Montreal. -- Jason Pominville's wants-to-stay here list.

So a second and two fourth liners - not bad

That might not be a bad idea - play him as a 7th man

It's the trade deadline. This is the one time of year it is both acceptable and fun to go through motions of these random rumours

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
