Trade: Myers, Stafford, Armia, Lemieux, + Low 1st for Kane, Bogosian, and Kasdorf

[Eleven]

There will be another press conference "soon."

[SwampD]

I'm fully pro tank now. This trade makes us worse this year and further along in the rebuild next. I have more faith in GMTM than I've had up to this point.

Hahaha WGR's Connery-McDavid sketch  :w00t:   :worthy:

For a fan base that has been forced to watch ###### for the past two years, there's a lot of crying going on.

Our pipeline is still among the best in the league. We still are leading the race to McEichel.

 

We used our wealth of picks to get real NHL players, ones that are still young.

GMTM showed he's got balls. The fans need some too.

Ding Ding Ding We got a winner...Name one Darcy trade that evoked this much emotion, we could possible argue GM career threatening or sent to god like status for making this trade.

[DHawerchuk10]

What on earth does he see in Foligno? I'd trade him in a heart beat.

I'm not sure what he sees in Kane.  I see a younger Chris Stewart quite frankly.

That was great :)

[nucci]

yes,...the zemgus exclusion is interesting

maybe not......Murray probably would have laughed if Girgs was mentioned and Winnipeg GM knew not to ask?

I'm not sure what he sees in Kane.  I see a younger Chris Stewart quite frankly. 

 

This is idiotic.  He has speed, physicality and is twice or three times more explosive than Stewart. 

[SDS]

Almost as interesting as not including Zemgus on his list.

Wonder if that was just an omission?

[Kr632]

I think the players he mentioned might have just been the ones the WPG gm asked about...hopefully at least. If he trades Girgs.....

if he trades girgs I'll meet you at the arena with pitch forks and molotov cocktails

[Rasmus_]

Stafford,  Myers,

 

Next up: Enroth, Stewart, Benoit, Meszaros ? (Who knows...an injury in the next few weeks.)

I guess this means we'll see Hodgson back in the lineup next game.   ;)

[MattPie]

Reinhart, Zadorov, Risto, and Foligno were off limits per GMTM.  Interesting.

One of these things, is not like the other one...

[Randall Flagg]

I hated this for three seconds, but now I absolutely love it. 

[pastajoe]

Poor Armia has to go to St Johns PEI.

 

Must be tough leaving mid season, Stafford's wife just had a baby last month. And the Sabres Unpucked concert is this week, Stafford is featured in commercials.

[DirtDart]

He has 35goals in 46 games, skates great, has more grit than a sandpaper factory.

Not Happy about Lemieux going the other way. I much would have rather just given Armia. We get an unsigned Goalie in return? Not sure we get the better of this deal. Especially with Kane out for the year.

[qwksndmonster]

...if you allow yourself to be open to the possibility that Myers really isn't that good (which I know if a leap of faith for many)... then the trade makes a whole lot of sense...

 

When can I buy a Kane jersey?  Later this week?

HTF did we get Kane then?  Sorry, just needed to disagree with you about Myers one last time  :beer:

 

I will say this: Stafford always showed humor chops. That video he did of Fu Man Drew? Classic.

I forgot about that! The catscratch :lol:

 

Foligno as an untouchable is strange.  I would've given up Foligno instead of Armia.  Interesting.

That's good for us. Help the tank. Murray pushed to get the deal done today, not in the offseason.

[RonHextallsShoulderPads]

just take a deep breath: 

[DirtDart]

I mean, really. The whining about "No! Not our precious Lemieux" is just silly.

 

You gotta give value to get value. And we got the best player in the trade, by far.

When really thinking about it I 100% agree with your statement.

[SDS]

I'm guessing you haven't been following the Sabres' plan this season.

[WildCard]

WGR makes a good point; the best talent Kane has ever played with, his most ice-time with center wise, is Oli Jokinen

[TrueBlueGED]

This just occurred to me: Murray did his homework to make sure Bogosian wasn't one of the Jets who had an issue with Kane, right?

[Iron Crotch]

HTF did we get Kane then?  Sorry, just needed to disagree with you about Myers one last time for good times sake :beer:

 

 

:D   GMTM likes bulls, not giraffes!

 

 

(I'll see Myers play with his new team tomorrow... kind of excited about it)

[qwksndmonster]

When was the last time we had a power forward like Kane?  And wow does he have wheels.
