Randall Flagg Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Chad confirms that Lundell is not in this trade. Brace yourselves Just now, Crosschecking said: I understand your concern. ATST, let's not forget that Victor Olofsson was a 7th round pick. True, I wouldn't write him off, but he hasn't become the Cinderella story yet, and the trade needs to reflect that.

IKnowPhysics Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Never forget that Sam is an asset we tanked an entire year for. He's a cornerstone and trading him must better the franchise significantly and with low risk. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freester Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Sam probably is refusing to sign extension anywhere except out west. Conditional pick based on Sam resigning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Why are people saying Hepomiemi is a bust prospect. He is 22 with 9 games of NHL experience, but was a 1pt a game player in two leagues last season. This is the same group that said Mitts was a bust (wrongly) and extolled the virtues of a 24 year old D with 14 games of NHL experience and zero points in those games. I think I’ll take a wait and see attitude if this kid is coming here thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible that the league wants to announce on-air at the beginning of round two. It'll be leaked before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he signed Reinhart for this season and then traded him at the deadline he would have received more. Risto trade gave me hope and this one took it away again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I was about to be ecstatic with Lundel, now I’m scared. No way it could be a 7th round goalie and a high pick next year (because Florida is good). That’s a fleecing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s Levi and a late 1st then yes that’s disappointing. We’ll see what the deal is when everything is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABRES 0311 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 This trade needs to have a good player coming back. We got a first round pick and second for Risto. Not sure but I think Sam is a little bit more of an asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good player that couldn’t take another year of this. He will do very well in Florida. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABRES 0311 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Plus if teams were calling us about him then a bidding battle should help bring a good return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) There isn't a ***** chance, we're about to trade Reinhart in division for Devon Levi a former 7th rounder, who had a cup of coffee in the WJR, and Aleksi Heponiemi who is 5'10" 155 lbs, and has 2 points in 9 games, and hasn't done anything remarkable since Swift Current. The kid is a ***** bust. What is all this ***** on conditional status of a 1st. You mean the 60 point consecutive seasons for Reinhart, which would put him third on your team in scoring at only 25 years old. If that draft bust Sam Bennett is worth two seconds, then I easily want more than that. I'm sorry to be fickle, but give me a ***** break if it's Devon Levi, underwhelming not even top 2 goalie prospect in our system and a scrub Fin, who should be overseas for the rest of his career. If that's the case, Kevyn Adams, get the ***** out. Edited July 24, 2021 by Rasmus_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
