Actually, many here have given other ways to look at it...just read them.

Have nothing to show for Kessel trade

and instead we have a starting goalie for next season.

Valid concerns but many of the prospects were used to get NHL ready players to get this team moving forward quickly. If no moves were made this team would be 3-4 years from being competitive....and that's hoping everyone turns out.

ok, sorry...didn't mean to imply that.

way too soon to worry about that. Let's start enjoying watching real hockey again.....these young guys will also get good coaching as opposed to "we have to work harder"

Yes, thank you. I agree.

Sabres definitely screwed up Grigorenko but there was no place for him and seemed difficult to re-sign.

He has traded picks and prospects for NHL players. This is a good thing

he meant top 6 forwards...not line combinations

But I thought after trading 21 Sabres couldn't do anything

ignore this as this did not cost the Sabres anything but a salary. Discuss the 21st overall pick for Lehner. How can it be overpayment if we got an extra player?

You mean when Martin gave the puck away twice in our own zone on the PP on identical plays and the 2nd time was a goal?? I was there!!

I just replied to your post that Hasek isn't worth 21st pick . That statement is ridiculous regardless of this trade.

Really?

then you'd only have 1

Would you give anything up for Hodgson?

They don't need help to get to the cap floor!!!

If you're ok with the 21st for Lehner, who would taking a salary for Ottawa bother you? This guy probably ends up in Rochester

Why? I just don't see Legwand making the final roster

I tend to agree

Salary dump for Legwand and is Lehner worth a 1st round pick?

Doesn't really make sense....not a great move. Disappointing start to the day

Concussions

Bad...... :D because it may be easier to get an expansion team at this point. Plus I'm guessing these potential owners would rather start their own team than have to go purchase one and then move them, fire all front office staff....etc
