Shootica Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 To be fair, there shouldn't be anything wrong with openly speculating on trade ideas in a thread titled "trade rumors and speculation". I'd imagine many of us spend time here in the off-season because we enjoy talking about moves the team could make or players we'd like them to target. I don't have an issue with people posting rumors from less than credible sources, it can generate interesting discussion even if the rumor is bogus. But I do think it would be beneficial to give a bit of a disclaimer if you're going to do that, just to separate the 'real' from the fake. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me the source, whether it’s Friedman, some guy who knows a guy, or your imagination. Its making conversation. If people don’t like this stuff, stay out of the thread. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fun part about talking about a highly speculative trade is that you are placing a value on the player you are offering and also the player you are trading for. How many different values have been assigned to Risto over the years in a speculative trade and to the targeted player in the receiving side? On this site there were numerous values place on Reinhart for an imaginary deal. That in itself is interesting. This is good bar talk at the keyboard without the imbibing and slurring of speech. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottysabres Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 So with training camp set to start the 31st, the NHL schedule being finalized, can we expect the Sabres to make an additional move via the trade market prior to the start of the season?

I think in the next week things will heat up. It really depends on when the cap compliance day is. Usually I think it is either 24 hours or maybe at noon or something like that the day of the season starting. Someone with more CBA knowledge will have to chime in, but there is a date teams have to be cap compliant and I bet in the 4-5 days leading to that we see a bunch of stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than half of what is posted relates to opinions as opposed to facts. And without a doubt some of the opinions are bat shiiit crazy. Being introduced to crazy shiiit doesn't hurt you unless you allow it. And if that is the case then you got bigger issues to contend with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Eichel & Dahlin continue to head towards their draft day potential, might have to add a 1st name of Rasack to go with the last name to keep all the top Sabres involved. Maybe even Tayrasack, should Hall re-sign and stay elite a few more years. Welcome. 🍺 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas was very cavalier about the virus until it started spiraling out of control. So the hard core resistant governor and his political cohorts out of fear had to change course. So even Texas has mask mandates. So if one doesn't want to be a Texas scofflaw just follow the protocol. ☠️ Mask Laws - COVID-19 & Texas Law - Guides at Texas State Law Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll find that “legitimate” source is used very loosely here or avoided altogether. Or you see a lot of “is this a legitimate source?” 😂 I kid I kid And Harrington still has clout in these parts.
