Conacher would be a good pick-up. Local guy who could pot 10-13 goals in 2015 for cheap.

 

Keeping Nolan in 2105 is vital b/c he is willing to smoke-and-mirror his lineup to ensure that it can't win enough games as so to push the team out of the 2015 Connor M. running. He is perfectly happy starting John Scott at D, Ellis on the 4th line, D'gostini anywhere, and Leino anywhere.

 

BTW, Leino should fetch a 4th or 5h rounder from the Ducks.

 

Tallinder should fetch a 4th rounder from San Jose.

Minnesota Wild @mnwild

Well no Halak to Minnesota.

That's a bad domino to fall to Minnesota for Buffalo. The Wild were the primary landing spot for Halak. Not sure who else needs a goalie.

I'll take that bet and point out that Vanek, Pommer and Miller (who is better than Halak) didn't propel the Sabres anywhere.

 

They sure went places when they were pieces of a team and not the best players on the team, though.

Re-sign or UFA looking like the two possibilities now.

Who says he is happy about it? Management hasn't really given him much of a choice

The Minnesota and Ottawa scenarios is why it is a risky proposition to acquire players in a trade whose sole purpose is to be flipped for more assets. If things fall though (as they appear to have in both MIN and OTT) then you are stuck with players that you didn't really covet and aren't part of the rebuild plans.

 

There were some big talk about how the flipped players were going to get even more return than the potential return of just trading Miller/Ott. Now we're stuck or selling at a discount.

Let Halak walk. He's 5'10". Murray isn't going to keep the two shortest goalies in the league after just saying that he wants bigger goalies.

Definitly makes the Miller trade look sooooooo much better

If your Halak, would you want to resign and be the backup to a team that wants to be rewarded by being the worst ever?

I think he would bolt back home to Slovakia/KHL. How much worse can it get for him, comes back from being the starter at the olympics, loses his starting job on a top team by being dealt to the worst team who won't even start him, and now had a chance of going to a playoff team with the Wild and that won't be happening

Great trade by Minnesota. They only gave up a 4th to get a veteran backup goaltender.

 

Yep.

 

Also it's great that TM moved Miller on Friday while he had the chance. We've all said how difficult the market is to trade a goaltender this time of year.

I understand and while I don't care to much about Halak one way or another, Nolan just may be able to get the most out of Stewart.

 

GO SABRES!!!
