They have Philly's 2nd round pick next season so it's not like they don't have any, but for me I can't predict the future and when you have an elite #1 center coming back and 2 studs coming up in Ryan Strome & Logan Nelson you gotta believe you'll be better even if it means throwing away a pick you hope won't be that high

I can't envision a scenario where the Islanders give us the 5th overall pick how do you convince a fan base & the front office that giving away a pick that high is worth it to only have a shot at some 2 revolutionary players next season? Plus if next season did go down hill for them it kind of looks like they were tanking despite having a promising team only 2 years before that would look pretty bad for them and definitely Garth Snow

That's why part of me wanted to trade him not sure he's trying to stick around longer than this season but if he wants to come back for another year I'd be fine with that

Agreed why I'm not really upset, you think we should try to resign Hank after this season? What would you offer him a 1 year deal?

I must say overall I'm pretty happy with how Tim Murray did today if these are guys that he really liked I have faith in that they will become valuable to us one way or another...The only thing that kind of irked me is we gave up a 3rd in that 2015 draft that's supposed to be so deep because we couldn't give up this years 3rd due to it being in the condition with St. Louis...Kinda BS that that's the only reason we couldn't give up our 3rd this year would've much rather given them a 2014 instead of a 2015 Would've liked to get a draft pick out of Tallinder but considering we gave up one of our if not our worst prospect in the whole organization for him can't really be that upset

@JChaimo Nick Deslauriers 18-21-39 in 60 @TheAHL games with Manchester this season. Playing LW after two years at D. #Sabres

So now what happens with Halak? @TSNBobMcKenzie 4m WSH gives up 4th-round pick to ANA for Dustin Penner. #TSN #Tradecentre Seems weird Penner costs the same as Mike Brown.........The Oilers aren't smart

‏@JeremyWGR 3m If Linus Omark, Matt D’Agostini, and Zenon Konopka are worth claims…come on. Conacher. Easy call. I agree with him

I can't understand any argument for bringing up Hackett if we move Halak. Hackett is still developing and is much better off in Rochester growing with the other prospects, making a playoff run than he is getting called up to back up Enroth for a couple of games and playing with the worst team in the NHL right now when he probably isn't even NHL ready based on his numbers this season. I am in favor of moving Halak, but I don't want his value to be diminished because we need a backup goalie in return. The sensible thing would be to claim Dubnyk because he only has 1 year remaining and would be a stopgap just for the rest of this season. This increases the return in a trade involving Halak & Hackett can continue to grow in Rochester instead of ruining his confidence from playing with our team during this season.

Yeah I thought about this too I do not want another goalie back if/when we trade Halak, so the next man up would be Hackett but I think it would be more beneficial for him to finish the season in Rochester, maybe go through a playoff run with our younger guys than back up Enroth and play maybe a handful of games

You are probably correct, but we might as well move Halak considering he's probably not staying here after this season. That would make it so we don't need to get a backup in return and Dubnyk only has 1 year left on his contract so he would just be a plug in for the last 20 games or so behind Enroth

Think Tim Murray has any interest in claiming Dubnyk? Would give us more insurance if Halak does get moved

I'm holding out hope for Jason Botterill

Wow I'm very stunned

Still haven't seen anything that has convinced me either RR or Darcy will be out today
