Hoss Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 How about Anders Lee, brock Nelson and Andrew Ladd as a salary dump. Shores up our left wing. I'm tired of all these picks and prospects deals. If you want him, after the bonus payout, you gotta pay mofo. Anders Lee just scored 40 goals. I don't think you get him for O'Reilly and a 1st.

inkman Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Anders Lee just scored 40 goals. I don't think you get him for O'Reilly and a 1st. I agree. I was posturing as the "rumors" I've heard haven't been anywhere near enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 For someone as good as Tavares probably not at 29. I don't think this is the case. He's an elite player, so his level of play during the decline will still be better than a lot of talented players in their prime, but I don't it's at the level of mid 20-s Tavares.

Thank you. It's amazing how quickly everyone forgets Okposo and Moulson deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Neal, Nash and DeHaan still out there. I'm in on Calvin de Haan. E5. Legitimate #4 LD stay-at-home type, and that's something we definitely need and have money for. Don't overpay, and we're good.

IKnowPhysics Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Neal, Nash and DeHaan still out there. And you were talking about Riley Nash, not Rick Nash, I say yes definitely. Versatile middle six forward than can be a good 3rd line defensive center and has the potential to be responsible speedy winger. Depth and talent we need.

It's amazing how quickly everyone forgets Okposo and Moulson deals.it's more amazing how everyone forgets how excited they were for the Sabres to make those moves because those were guys the same fans trashing them now thought they should have been making.

LTS Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 As always... if you want to critique the performance of a GM you should present some evidence of what deal was out there that would have been available for the GM to make. Just because a player signed somewhere for reasonable money doesn't mean that player wanted to come to Buffalo. I'm meh about all of it. It's UFA day.. the day when many GMs make huge mistakes.

He very much made moves to I prove the team. Nothing blockbuster, though. Still might come with the ROR trade if such a thing happens. The headline-grabbing high dollar signings made with what appears to have been little regard for how this impacts the team going forward though? Nah. I love KO and lament the hand he's been dealt, and was happy to have Moulson back when it happened.. but both are (slightly different) cautionary tales. And, lest we forget, how much better was the team after signing either of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
