Robviously Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Greg Bauch @gregorybauch51s I don't think the "bag of poo" Drew Stafford trade rumor texted to the WGR account is reliable. Edited April 3, 2013 by Robviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 But the Caps are saying it is a significant trade - so has to be more than Stafford. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Listening to Regier and McPhee negotiate a trade is probably as exciting as watching turtles courting each other for mating...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Why me? Yeah. I was going to say because d4rk said you were Drew Stafford. Not sure how that got so twisted in my head. I have a crush on you? :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are interested in a slow, meandering skate towards the bottom, and maybe the Sabres will reach it but maybe not and it doesn't really matt--oh my shift is over? He's your man.

LGR4GM Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 We could have maybe traded Drew to washington... uhg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Disappointed he's still here. Can't blame Darcy for not selling while his value is so low. Hopefully he is the NHL player we package with picks and prospects in our big summertime deal. In the meantime, he's probably going to get Pommer's minutes.

LabattBlue Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Put Guitar Hero in the press box for the rest of the season. I knew it was too much to ask of Darcy to get rid of this turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) They were discussing this on WGR - maybe Regier puts the price too high? Therefore the number of deals is fewer. This is a team that needs to be scrapped and rebuilt, and that's not going to happen waiting around to scrape up every possible nickel of value in a trade. It's like the guy hangs his hat, and his record as GM, on one or two BIG trades...so everyone can oooohh and ahhh, and tell him how awesome he is. In the meantime he has a bottom-shelf team that's one of the worst in the league, a team he built, and a lot of moves need to be made but don't get made, Maybe another, better GM would have made several trades? Maybe not for top-dollar, but would be more beneficial to the team and the product on the ice? I would say cutting Staphford was a higher priority than PomPomstein - both should go, but Stafford is clearly worse than Pominville. And from his presser today, even Regier hinted that there were other players he wanted to trade first, but didn't get what he wanted to do. Again, penny wise and pound foolish is our 17 year Cicada Regier. Edited April 3, 2013 by Jsixspd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, penny wise and pound foolish is our 17 year Cicada Regier. The cap is not an issue. The payroll is not an issue. So if there is no market for Stafford then he is better on this team. Stafford scoring 30 points at $4million is better than a second round pick (as long as cap or payroll isnt an issue). I expect BIG moves at the draft. Today is a day where you sell off pending UFAs, the draft is where hockey trades happen - and once the draft order is set picks become a more tradeable commodity Either way, good bye big 3, hello rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm fairly convinced that they will buy out Stafford at the end of the year. They'll give Leino one more year and then most likely buy him out the following year. There's no sense in burning both buyouts in the same year.
