2012 Trade RUMOR Thread. (Keep the deadline thread for substantiated stuff).

[Bmwolf21]

I agree.

 

However, I'm getting close to entering a killing rage at the lack of Sabres activity.

 

Me too.

[Patty16]

better be, 5 years for a 30 year old 3rd liner who can barely skate now.........

Sabres 4pm press conference: Gaustad inked to 5 year, $15 million extension. This helps our team more than anything else we could have done!

I just threw-up a little. :sick:

[TrueBlueGED]

I hope you are joking.

 

Haha I was, but at this point I'd be pretty comfortable with that being a prediction right now.

Really? I threw up a LOT

Every poster here read that and thought "Yup, that sounds about right."

[nfreeman]

Prediction: It's going to be zero or one move (which would be trading Gaustad for picks). The opportunity to create cap space for the summer and beyond will be squandered, and we'll be locked into essentially the same deeply flawed "core" for another year.

 

Darcy must go.

[Patty16]

cap space for who? this summers crop looks terrible.

Parise.

Cap space isn't only for free agency, it's helpful in making trades. Requiring trades to be money in money out makes them harder to pull off, particularly substantial trades.

You know, I expect this from a certain set of posters, but why must you go there? Setting up a strawman and then declaring action based upon the strawman you just made up should be beneath you.

Right and particularly when your GM has a penchant for making trades.....

[CallawaySabres]

I don't see anything happening other than Goose and that will most likely be a 2nd rounder from Philly. Off to the West Coast trip - at least Roy does not leave another gap at Center :)

[Patty16]

roy never leaves a center gap.

That's looking on the brightside of things!

:huh: at least someone is optimistic... ;)

Flyers want Gaustad. What's your package? How about Gaustad and THIS YEAR'S #1 pick for Brayden Schenn? Starting point maybe...

[...]

My gut is telling me they re-signed Goose. No changes for now because they believe they can make a run for a spot. "There's no one on the market better than Gaustad at what he does."

Parise and Doan would make a huge difference on this team.

Good call.

By "strawman," you're referring to my prediction? Fair enough -- I suppose I could've waited another hour to make that post. I did say it was a prediction though, and I'll gladly retract if proven wrong.

[wonderbread]

Darcy has made a move every year as long as I can remember. He will make a move albeit a minor one.

 

Parise and Doan would make a huge difference on this team.

 

Doan would be a phenominal addition to this team.

The prediction is fine. Following up with "Darcy must go." after your prediction is, well, wrong.

 

Prediction: nfreeman is going to commit a heinous felony in the future.

 

nfreeman must go to jail.

[tiredsounds]

goose is off to nashville. no idea what for yet though.

To be fair, he could've been insinuating that Darcy should have already been fired.

Source?

[Patty16]

goose is gone
