This is a really really late April Fools joke, right? :huh:

Ottawa should have been the one on the receiving end of the cap dump in this trade in the form of one CODY FREAKIN' HODGSON.

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.

This is really going to put a damper on what should have been one of the best days in Sabres history.

Ottawa fans have to be ecstatic right now. I mean champagne cork popping happy. :thumbdown:

Why can't we have good things as a Buffalo sports fan? :cry:

To use an old TSW term... Murray=A$$clown I'm freakin' pissed! :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:

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.

Still a ridiculous overpayment.

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.

I tell you what, with a $500 million investment up front, it is going to take a long time to break even.

Eichel? :ph34r:

I would still like Beauchemin or Oduya. Not sure at this point in their careers if they have any interest in coming to Buffalo.

Might be the first jersey I ever but with a players name on it. :wub:

You make an inaccurate statement, I call you on it, and you have a meltdown. You are a piece of work. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Huh?

Biron had almost 250 NHL games under his belt when the Sabres traded him. Talbot...57 games.

If that was the case, he'd be talked about in the top 5, not late 1st round...or later.

I'd prefer that they don't draft a goalie at 21, 31, or 51. Anything after that, knock your socks off.

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.

Sabres play division rival Tampa Bay 4 times by 11/15 (15 games into the season)...then don't play them the rest of the season. :blink:

I fixed your post.

Maybe stating the obvious, but this move makes me believe O'Reilly is on his way out

Two things... 1 - I don't ever remember Grigs being viewed as "the next coming". 2 - Odds are this WILL happen to some of them.
