TRADE: Sabres send Brian Flynn to Montreal for a 5th

Well that was unexpected.

Slow news day when there's a separate thread--pinned, no less--for Brian Flynn.

No kidding.

 

Do you think this is the "can you believe that I'm calling you about this guy" player that GMTM was talking about?

Was wondering the same thing... who knew there was a market for him?  Oh well, no big loss (but kind of silly given the low return).

I still think Flynn is the new-age 4th liner on a decent team, wouldn't have minded keeping him around. Not gonna cry he's gone either though.

 

I assume he doesn't have a heavy enough game for what Murray is building.

 

I'm really surprised that a good playoff team was interested in Flynn.

I'd agree with this, I just disagree with the philosophy. Modern 4th lines aren't just body-bangers, you want players who have defensive value and can play ~10 per game. I think Flynn is just that. Now of course you can get that in a more physical package, which I think is what you're getting at, so I'll show myself out now :lol:

yep.  That is what I was getting at.  Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.   :P

Bergevin: Let's cut to the chase here, Tim. You and I both know what I'm after.

Murray: Stewart?

Bergevin: Brian Flynn.

 

This was pretty funny.

a fifth of what?

It doesn't matter.  We'll drink anything that gets the job done at this point.

I did recently post that I couldn't wait until the day Brian Flynn wasn't one of our everyday forwards.

 

Like the guys attitude. Hope he succeeds in Montreal.

Not part of the future here.

Now we just need Ellis gone, I assume a bag of pucks would compensate.
