WildCard Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Lit. Eskeetit @FriedgeHNIC COL is going to see if it can help Orpik land in a preferred spot. Whether it is a trade or a buyout, they are prepared to facilitate. By including him in the deal, they only had to give up one pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 It is possible to have a deal in place for after July 1. You draft this guy...we trade you for him on July 2 after we pay the bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted June 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Jeremy Rutherford Looks like Army just returned from a chat with Buffalo GM Jason Botterill. Ryan O'Reilly? #stlblues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Jeremy Rutherford Looks like Army just returned from a chat with Buffalo GM Jason Botterill. Ryan O'Reilly? #stlblues The Islanders just snagged the last two players I'd be interested in from the draft in such a deal. So it's Parayko or bust to me.

apuszczalowski Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 From Chad Demoncis Also really quick I talked about it last night a little. From what I was told the main target for the #Sabres in a Hurricanes trade package is not Skinner or Hanifin. They’re very interested in Elias Lindholm. could the Canes do that and include Ward with a condition he signs with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ward would be better then Lehner? I wasnt saying he would or wouldn't be. Leaner would be better than Ward. JBOTs made the decision that Lehner walking away is bettter than a qualifying offer. Make of that why you will. But Seriously, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I really am hoping the Avs buyout Orpik because I'd love to get him here as an extra Dman cheap. https://theathletic.com/371664/2018/05/30/whether-hes-pops-or-big-brother-brooks-orpiks-mentorship-has-molded-this-young-caps-team/ This one is a sub only though https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capitals-insider/wp/2018/05/26/brooks-orpik-is-only-capitals-player-with-stanley-cup-experience-hes-a-big-role-model/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a74e37abbf98 Someone on the HFboards posted these and I read them and decided this would be a solid move. Especially when the Athletic article talked about Orpik being a uniting figure in the dressing room who helps the young European kids have people to eat lunch with and give everyone pointers about how to be an NHL player. He's won 2 Cups now and while he's slow as molasses, I'd want him almost solely for his character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 This won’t make a few on here happy. Post-pick Botterill talked about making sure that Rasmus was supported and how important it was the McCabe and Bogosian were healthy. I’ve never seen anything from our new braintrust to indicate they are anything other than high on Zac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen anything from our new braintrust to indicate they are anything other than high on Zac. I wouldn't say he's high on them as hopeful they're healthy thus allowing the depth chart to actually not be ran through a meat grinder again. Remember we were supposedly in talks with LA about Bogosian but he immediately got injured. Even if he wanted to be rid of him he's worthless presently I also would admit he is likely a good locker room guy but is just made of glass.

Brawndo Posted June 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I believe the instances of the Sabres doing stupid things will be significantly decreased with Jason Botterill as GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd rather the Sabres use Moulson to help another team get to the floor. Edited June 23, 2018 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
