That's a few more than at the Sabres Game Tonight Tom Gulitti @TGfireandice 3h 3 hours ago You can't even drag scouts to tonight's Devils-Sabres game.. Only two listed on press box seating chart: Rangers, Washington. Edited February 18, 2015 by BRAWNDO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two listed on press box seating chart: Rangers, Washington. I know I've seen reports that teams are frustrated with the Devils because they want to get a look at Michael Ryder but he's been a healthy scratch for a while. Everybody knows what they're going to get in Jagr. Have to think everybody has the Sabres scouted up pretty well, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 @TheFourthPeriod: DAL has scouted TOR & MTL lately RT @MikeHeika Teams requesting seats to scout Stars-Blues: Toronto, Detroit, Vancouver, Chicago, Montreal I know some people hate these but they're good fodder.

If the Sabres are going to help out Boston with Salary Cap Issues, they will need something else in return such as Subban, but I seriously doubt that will happen on Boston's End Edited February 18, 2015 by BRAWNDO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 So what do we think of the Bruins trying to tried Seidenberg and Ericsson to clear capspace for another move? I think I'd happily take Ericsson off their hands for less than he's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterDays06 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I would love Eriksson. He has had 3 - 70+ point seasons. He would easily be our #1 right winger. Just needs a change of scenery. Take Eriksson, Seindenberg and Subban for Stewart and a d or a pick. We will take on the salaries that boston wants gone.

Hoss Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 They're not going to use Eriksson purely as a salary dump. They've been trying to use him to acquire more forward talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'd much rather have Seidenberg. A Seidenberg Bogo combo would eat up a lot of minutes. Weber and Gorges can support the kids, and we've got a decent D corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, with the decline/injuries of Chara and losing Boychuk, they need SOMEBODY to play defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 LeBrun says that Murray is asking for a second and a prospect for Stewart and it's likely he'll be "proven right" in not dealing him before the season for the offers he had. Said he expected him to be a Sabre until deadline day. Thinks the Bruins will circle back but they're "not alone." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless that D is named Risto or Zadorov I'm not sure Boston even picks up the phone for that offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think Mikhail Grigorenko may be gone at the deadline. Somehow I can see Murray packaging him in a deal for a RW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what reason? Why would he do that deal at the deadline? Teams aren't going to focus on dumping salary at the deadline... This isn't the NBA.

That's why we make a trade for eriksson. Our right wingers are stewart, kaleta and Gionta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the NBA. That's cute, glad I mentioned dumping salary in my originial post, or hinted at it, or mentioned anything about it. What's the NBA? Simply put I think that Mikhail Grigorenko is the type of player included in a deal (with other larger pieces) to get us a RW and I could see Murray doing that at the deadline.

I'm coming around to this, especially since I am struggling in the "next year's roster" thread finding a place for Grigorenko. There is an obvious talent gap at RW, and Grigo could be the piece that lands GMTM a first line RW to pair with Kane and McEichel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the NBA? Simply put I think that Mikhail Grigorenko is the type of player included in a deal (with other larger pieces) to get us a RW and I could see Murray doing that at the deadline. I think Tank's point is that playoff teams aren't going to trade good players at the deadline, because they need those players for the playoffs. Now, a non-playoff team could be auctioning off assets at the deadline, and the Sabres could win that auction, and Griggy could be included in that winning bid -- but that would be an unusual situation, especially because the RW in question would need to be under contract for a decent period of time in order for the Sabres to be interested (unless the RW agreed to an extension as part of the deal, which is possible although again unusual).
