There isn’t one player that we received from the ROR trade, 1.5 years ago, that is lacing it up in the NHL right now 

I think you might be able to make an argument that the 1st round pick we sent to ANA became Mountour? But yeah, the optics for that aren't...great.

Actually that was the SJS first rounder, JK.

That trade will go down in the annals of NHL history as one of the top 3 worst imho. What a straight out cluster ***** this organization is. Just, WOW.

Any word on why it took 2 months to decide to go the surgery route?

Hoping that by doing this he'll actually eventually get strength back in that shoulder.

Depends if it is his AC joint.  Still why the hell did it take 2 months?

Or Labrum where tears can be hard to spot right away.

It could be a partial tear of either the rotator cuff or the labrum. 
 

They could have offered rehab or surgery to him and he could have chosen rehab in an attempt to save a part of his season as the surgical recovery period would have taken him through the end of the regular season. 
 

The real issue issue is that he could have done this a month ago and not pushed it closer to the start of training camp

Buffalo has done some real doozies of bad trades. 

How about this one:

Andreychuck + Puppa + #1(#12-Kenny Jonsson) --> Toronto for Grant Fuhr

Then later:

Grant Fuhr + Philippe Boucher + Denis Tsyguov --> to LA for  Huddy, Stauber, Zhitnick, & blown 5th round pick.

 

So, in summation it is:

Andreycheck(1LW))(HOF) + Puppa(1G) + Jonsson(1D) + Boucher (1D) +Tsygurov(7D) --->Huddy(4D), Stauber(3G), Zhitnick(1D)

Really, it is a bunch of great guys for one very good d-man in Zhitnick.

 

Real Cloutier trade was another stinker:

McKegney + JF Sauve + Savard --> Cloutier(party boy bum who was kicked off team by Bowman 1 year later) + Creighton(3C/2C)Giraffe

Creighton was later traded to Chicago for an over-the-hill Rick Vaive(1RW)

For all we know he was doing fine rehabbing and it and it looked promising then BAM!

All went to the big red down-under.

I'm sure he's not thrilled. I can only assume that a player in his position doesn't make it through something like this and become an NHL regular to often. The injury will heal, but the league moves on.
