I think many are right, kuli and Franson.....then the off season

Oops, my bad lol First thing that popped up on google search for rumors though

Martin Biron ‏ @MartyBrion Oh boy, I am being told that maybe there is a close door meeting happening between Tim Murray and two players prior to practice starting https://mobile.twitter.com/MartyBrion/status/836963302869778433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

:D I don't care if the trade calls for the Sabres come in after 3pm. As long as they come in. My last great hope is Bob Murray and the Ducks when it comes to Kane. With their core of Getzlaf, Perry and Kesler heading to their mid 30's, an in prime years gritty, fast, scoring LW'er with a year left on a contract that could be up to 50% retained should have more than raised an eyebrow of Bob Murray who is watching as opponents both in the western as well as eastern conference stock up in an arms race where a player such as Evander Kane can make an impact. Equally enticing for Bob Murray should he have to move a D piece in such a deal is Franson, a UFA RHD, thereby giving more leverage to offer up a mid prospect LH shot like Nick Richie to add an additional LW piece like Foligno and a RW future like Baptiste or Bailey, a position Buffalo is well stocked in. There is a real opportunity for a larger deal here that could be beneficial to both clubs given where they are at in their quest for the Cup. Anaheim's window is closing. The iron is hot. Is Tim Murray interested in components from Anaheim? He should be.

I'm assuming we are waiting for the 12pm waiver wire to end so Pittsburgh's Fehr is off the roster, opening the spot for Kulikov and ?

Nylander won't be ready next season. Baptiste and Bailey will be up fulltime however. As for Guhle, it would be a waste of an opportunity if we had to bring him up to early. I'd prefer he start the season in Rochester.

I look at it from a positional view. Meaning RW (right handed shot, speed and/or power with finish) appears balanced when you look at Okposo, Bailey, Baptiste, Fasching and Nylander. LW however is a big ? It should be addressed for sure. Defense is just a straight out disaster up and down the pipeline. Goaltending is suspect.

So, are we just beginning the assessment of the Murray assessment? Or, are we awaiting for some miracle deadline and off season before passing initial judgment? Because I have a few choice words for the situation given the assets squandered we could have used to at least build some successful or potential successful defensive depth......starting with the 2015 draft, where picks were squandered.

And just so you can be reminded again.......this is the ducking brainchild of 1 Tim Murray....... Thanks Tim!!!!!! Hey Terry, get this shot straightened out A--SAP

They need a hero.....

So what your saying is.....there's a chance

Did I offend? I must have since something was said.......good......:P Carry on!

He did, more than several times, his name is __________ (insert Kulikov, Franson, Gorges, Nelson)

Kulikov gone then. Meh, at least Murray plugged the void.

Smith nets a 2nd from NY. Mike Weber just signed but Minny. Unless other WC teams do something significant, Minny looks poised for its run.

Kane 50% retained and Fasching for Vatanen and Ritchie. Anaheim gets their scoring LW for this years and next Cup run. Afterall, you yourself pointed out age for them, and I agree. Getzlaf and Perry 31 and Kesler 32 their window is right now. Is General Manager Bryan Murray cognizant of his situation and is he willing to go for it now, or wait another year for all in? Because honestly, the Eaves add isn't enough, and teams are loading up.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the east just loaded up for a gunfight while the west is sitting idly by and watching? I mean, I expected teams like Calgary, Nashville and Anaheim to go for it.

Wow, for a rental Shatty? Well, if it's Washington they are stacked.

Wow! Jim Bennings diabolical plan is working........:D

I'll take "plug the fax machine in" for 500 Alex........

Anthony Duclair available from yotes according to Lavoie. Isn't this the same Duclair that played wing for Reinhart?

LOL, dang it Randall, ruining the fun :P It isn't. I don't think anyways. But I wad waiting for the reactions.....we have to have something to chuckle at afterall.... Not sure if it is him actually. A friend in Detroit passed it along to me.
