I've changed my mind about the wedding I'm going to at 4PM. Get me the away from my computer and smartphone. If Lack & Talbot go for significantly less, my head will explode.
All TM had to do was bide his time. There are more sellers than buyers.
Out of the goalies available via trade(Talbot, Anderson, Lack) and a number on the FA market, this is what TM does.
This is awful. I questioned his overpayments on the KIngs and Jets trades, this just confirms my suspicions. He is in over his head.
My head may explode. Legwand is a cap dump at this point in his career, and a #1 for a concussed Lehner who really hasn't shown anything in the last couple years would be ridiculous overpayment.
I would immediately become VP of the anti-TM fan club. I can't remember the one poster here who does not like TM at all. He would have to be founding member and president.
If so, that is a solid pickup. Among the goalies on the trade market(Talbot, Lehner, Lack, etc...), I like Anderson the best. If they can find a couple guys to play defense, they should be much improved.
If the Sabres trade for ROR, combined with Kane, Reinhart, Eichel, Girgensons & Ennis, that would be a really really good start to building a top 9 that can score.
