carpandean Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Afinogenov of the Sabres has only scored two goals in 34 games this year, but if you can pick him up for cheap, or maybe for a long-term contract player such as Dustin Penner, then that's a deal the Oilers might well want to consider, under the right circumstances (Edmonton out of playoffs, Sabres making a playoff run). Was this written by a Sabres' fan? Max for Penner? I'm sure that I saw that post here or on LGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Was this written by a Sabres' fan? Max for Penner? I'm sure that I saw that post here or on LGS. It would be awesome if Buffalo, Anaheim, and Toronto (where Burke is now)--or maybe every GM in the league--just refused to even talk trades with Edmonton, but it won't happen.

SabresFan526 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Was this written by a Sabres' fan? Max for Penner? I'm sure that I saw that post here or on LGS. I saw that, too. The funny thing is that he even says that Max has only 2 goals in 34 games in his posting (I refuse to call that rubbish an article). Not quite as good as Max for Crosby, Malkin, or Ovechkin, but definitely up there in the stupidest things I've ever read. Although, Eklund mentioned the Sabres were interested in Doan. Maybe the actual deal is picks for Doan and Max for Penner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRobertEichel Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 As I've pointed out before, Buffalo really isn't in that great of shape next year either as they have $42 million already tied up with 7 forwards, 4 defensemen and 2 goalies. But according to the article, it's the year after next where the salary cap will be expected to fall. While we're not in great shape to pick up any big name free agents this summer, we're in good enough shape to keep our 4 RFA's and add a couple much-needed mid-level role players at C and D.
