Neuvirth to Isles for Chad Johnson & 2016 3rd

I'd imagine they will call up Matt Hackett to get his 7 more starts in to maintain his RFA status.

 

 

I guess, why?  Hackett will be allowed to walk.  Neuvirth is a good goalie, and while this helps the tank, this doesn't help the Sabres after the draft.

Exactly.

Damn, really thought Neuvirth was GMTM:s man. Almost expect GMTM to be pushing hard to get him back this summer.

I sure hope so... I'd really like to see him come back.

The only way this trade makes sense is if the Sabres plan to re-sign Neuvirth in the summer. Otherwise, this trade is a dead loser. 

 

p.s. Unless it is part of the tank

Neuvirth can come back, so could Stewart.

 

 

This is how I see it, but it's still very ugly.  I hope GMTM has had conversations with Stewart's and Neuvirth's agents ahead of time to let them know this isn't personal, it's just business.

He was traded to a team w/ an established starter.  He won't re-sign in Brooklyn.

 

If TM wants him bad enough, he'll be available.

I doubt it. 'GR just reported that Neuvy learned of the trade on TSN before GMTM called him.
