wjag Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Just a question: who plays RW now? Luke Adam? details... Should be interesting watching this team sans Vanek and sans Pominville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty16 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Certainly not the positive ones. For any given players you can cherry pick fans opinions positive or negative. This guy projects as a 3rd line two way center. He is not an elite propect nor a cornerstone for a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishoph Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have no problem with the move, bringing in some youth and clearing some cap space, plus I was not a big Pommers fan. Haven't seen anything final yet, some sites are saying players with a 1st and 2nd, some say just players and a 2nd and some are saying just Larson and Hackette.

X. Benedict Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I guess we expect Armia will be on the roster next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pville29 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 details... Should be interesting watching this team sans Vanek and sans Pominville. I can't wait... maybe Stafford will rise and shine for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 @THNRyanKennedy As tough as it is to lose Pominville, #Sabres fans should be stoked about Johan Larsson and Matt Hackett - both very good young players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's been great. I only hope that the goalie you got for me lets you get rid of that sourpuss Miller. I'll miss you all. the goalie is trade material imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trettioåtta Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Who would have thought, Leopold would have gotten almost the same return (2nd/5th) as Pominville (2nd/3rd)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 @kevinoDandC Matt Hackett is in his 3rd season of pro hockey. As a rookie, backstopped Aeros to Calder Cup finals in 2011 (lost to Binghamton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Crotch Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I guess we expect Armia will be on the roster next year. In my mind, he and McCabe are our two most interesting prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny DangerFace Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 If some of you don't like the trade that's fine, but the fact that some of you are bashing prospects you know next to nothing about is the definition of ignorance :/ At least give our new prospects a chance.... If all you are going to do is google their name and look at their stats and then bash them, don't bother posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trettioåtta Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Why do people keep talking about the ###### cap? We now have $20 million to sign 6 players...? How much more room do we need?

Robviously Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Especially seeing as Miller/Vanek or both will be gone in the offseasson Everyone is talking about Larsson but doesn't trading for Hackett indicate that we're probably moving on from Miller soon too?

We also need 3 top 6 players now, and there is no-one good in FA If we thought this season was bad...can't wait to see what next year is like Because the cap will drop by $6 million over the summer. We're fine in that regard, but many teams (Tampa for example) absolutely have to shed salary over the summer to get under the lower cap. Having extra room puts us in a position to take advantage of that (i.e. we can pick up a high priced player or two who will have to be moved due to the cap).
