nfreeman Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Everyone know under zero circumstances we get Eberle from Edmonton, right? I think the percentage is just slightly above zero -- Edmonton is a bozo organization and I wouldn't be completely stunned if they pulled a desperation foolish move here. But we're talking 10% chance at best that they trade Eberle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 You guys are underestimating Edmonton's desperation. Somebody is going get Eberle (or one of their other young forwards), probably at the draft. The price for it to be us it would probably take Ehrhoff/Myers plus, so I doubt it's us. But Edmonton will be making a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Linus is a huge part of Tank Nation 2014-15. Hope to see him on our number one line come next Septemer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Edmonton will be making a move. I agree that they will probably make a move -- although if they are smart the move will be to bring in a PLF/CP/TM -style new leadership group. I also agree that if they do trade Eberle, it would take Myers to get him. But I think they will try to keep Eberle and trade Yakupov and/or Gagner instead.

dudacek Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think they will try to keep Eberle and trade Yakupov and/or Gagner instead. That's what they've been holding out for. But what they need is a first-pairing defenceman, and those guys don't come cheap or easily. I don't see them acquiring one with a Yak/Gagner combo.

Weave Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/report-links-awol-linus-omark-to-old-swedish-club/ What’s going on? His agent, Kevin Epp, told the Buffalo News all options – Buffalo, Rochester and Europe – are still on the table for the vacationing Swede. Realistically, though, Omark is likely finished with the Sabres organization. Now, a report from NDS, a Swedish newspaper, is linking Omark to Lulea, a Swedish Elite League team he played four seasons with before coming to North America in 2010.

deluca67 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Everyone know under zero circumstances we get Eberle from Edmonton, right? There is a lot of truth in this statement when considering Edmonton's needs. The Oilers need goaltending, defense and toughness especially in the forward ranks. I just don't see a package the Sabres could put together strong enough for the Oilers to give up Eberle. The Sabres most valued assets at this point are UFA's and futures (prospects & picks). What the Oilers need are NHL ready/established players that are under contract. The Sabres are in desperate need of NHL ready talent themselves.

LGR4GM Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 So Buffalo has placed Omark on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his NHL contract... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 @TSNBobMcKenzie BUF has Linus Omark on unconditional ($125) waivers, presumably for mutual agreement to terminate his NHL contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie14 mins BTW, Omark had been assigned by BUF to Rochester (AHL) but he had refused to report. Unconditional waivers is a solid no-fault divorce. Edited February 17, 2014 by Sabres Fan In NS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Oh well, the risk on Omark was worth the chance, though it sucks that given a chance he couldn't take hold of it. Can we waive Ville next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 What does the $125 mean? It means anybody that wants his contract can have it for $125. Otherwise, he's UFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Swedish League might be the best fit for Linus. If he can't make it on the worst team in the NHL, then.... If you can't make it there, you can't make it anywhere, it's up to you, Buff-lo, New Yooooooooork! /FrankSinatra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
