Without knowing the type of game Leier plays, this trade is kind of a head scratcher in that theyre one in the same. Flyers get our AHL winger in return for theirs. Both have similar numbers. Perhaps Leier will be a cheaper salary option for Rochester down the road than Bailey? Beats me

I got all excited for a second that we made a trade & then i saw who was involved lol

AHL deal for sure. Neither guy has an NHL future.

Bailey doesn't have a future in Buffalo, certainly.  He might in Philly.  His grandparents and mother are going to be devastated, for sure.  But distance from them is going to be the best thing for him.

Me thinks JBOT got a better AHL player while Philly got a guy with NHL potential. 

 

Yeah i have to agree with Ink here. I don't know much about Leier, but based on reading from people in Lehigh Valley, he is a pretty decent AHLer. About to turn 25 next month. Great speed but can't make it in the NHL. In 55 career NHL games, he has only 2 goals and 5 assists. In the AHL, he's got pretty good corsi %, is a very effective penalty killer and in the last 4 games he has scored 6 points.

Bailey seems like a guy who is still going to get several shots at the NHL.

Another TM/DR great draft pick sent packing by Jbot.  Oh well.  Buh-Bye

Granted this is a nothing trade involving 2 guys with nearly identical number in both the AHL and NHL.  However we gave up the younger and bigger player.

JBot loves Canadians.

Not sure why everything needs to be qualified. The trade involved two AHL players with little to no NHL future. It doesn't really seem like the time to cast aspersions.
