Loadin up on 6th rounders. Nobody saw it coming.

Speaking of which. Just got back from my sons school carnival. Beer in hand and looks like I haven’t missed anything. Let’s Go Buffalo!!!!!

Too bad Dallas didn’t win that game 7 ot. Would have been the perfect spot to take him. Oh well.

If he were to go 3. Byram goes 4. Any chance LA moves the pick? What's the price to get up to take Turcotte?

He had absolutely no reason to trade prior to the bonus. It's not his money. There was no reason not to wait unless he was told.

Absolutely. Same as the other side.

Hopefully a Sabres trade in their too ?

How on earth could the leafs afford that salary? Either Marner goes or an unreal amount of cap space somehow.

You have been missed. Good discussion. Let's hope we get a trade soon.

I donno man. I think he's just not a very good hockey player. Can't remember too many times it looked like he gave up. Housley just massively overplayed him. Never once heard he wants out.

Like ridin a bike....

Disagree with your last sentence. The rest? Yes, ofcourse. What's shocking is the title of that made it sound as though Sabres fans thought they were loaded with depth and now have to come to the sad realization we don't. Ofcourse we don't. We were a one line team last year.

What link says he was on the table other than Joe from Williamsville and John from HFboards?

Does Sobotka not want to be here? I know there were whispers of that immediately after the trade but I had never heard anything once he got here.

I can't be the only one that appreciates SDS adding the GIF feature.

Yes exactly this. I never even imagined this was on the table. I was just happy this was his last season.

Man this is such a great point. I"m sure it was Pegs telling Botts to make the move. I'm not even going to string Terry up for that. Can't blame him to be honest.

Don't you start today. There's way too much potential for a big trade I'm focusing on. This next big move will really sway my thoughts on JBotts. Next 48 hours are going to be critical.

So a guy with the username E4 (isn't that an Eklund term) throws something out from a post on another message board and everyone is freaking out thinking it's true? Just catching up on what I missed.

He does. All I've heard is Zegras probably gets taken by Detroit. I'm all in for Dach, Zegras or Cousins. One will be there because if there's not there's someone you are sprinting to the stage to take.

I'm just asking and not criticizing. Are you concerned at all that this only happened one year? To do that in a rookie year is very amazing. However, the proposal involves a ton to give up and if he had the forward version of Tyler Myers rookie season and subsequent regression and we just gave up 7OA and Mitts this rebuild will be set back atleast another two years. Love Cirelli on the Generals, heck he scored the GWG in the Memorial Cup finals. Always a special place in my heart. But watching him that year he was very good but far from their best player.

Ya the GM came out saying he expects Marleau to be a leaf come October. I'd be very surprised if this is true. I think he's just trying increase the ask as everyone and their grandmother realizes it's strictly a cap dump.

It’s one year left. No buyout, I think you just live with him for one more season. Just hope RK doesn’t play him like the second coming of Bergeron like previous coach.

Wheels are falling off in Pitt as that core ages. Great for you bringing us three cups. It’s always balancing present with future. They are about two or three years away from the core really showing it’s age. You could obviously get a ton for them. Not saying give them away obviously lol. The return could significantly fast forward a mind rebuild. No sense waiting three years and moving vets for pocket change ala Iginla if you don’t think the vets can do it. I don’t think Pitt has the horses and the sweep to isles was just the tip of the iceberg. Won’t happen but if I’m Pitt I’m atleast listening.
