I have never known such a slow lag between announce and the pieces being confirmed. I literally think they made the deal after NHL staff went home for the day and it won’t be processed until they start work this morning. Should be something shortly, you would think, unless there were weird conditions attached that are being reviewed. Sam’s camp and Levi’s camp have confirmed they’ve been told. In the pre-Twitter/insider days it would be announced when the draft opened this morning. Still convinced there is a “now” piece coming - player, pick later today or ready-to-play prospect. There was no reason to consummate a pick for a conditional 1st next year and a B prospect last night. That trade is still available in February.

Gatorman0519 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 We got fleeced on ROR. We got fleeced on Bogosian. We got fleeced on Hall. We are taking a garbage dump and high picks for Sam? Are they deliberately ruining this market? Absolutely mind-boggling. I want KA nowhere near Eichel. Tanking again🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of this deal also strikes me as weird, why have it leaked at midnight and then have movement? Are they getting our 1st 2nd round pick? Im also curious to know what the hell the plan is for our roster this upcoming season. We've lost 90% of our toughness in risto and borgen and now Sam leaves a gaping hole on offense. There are no free agents that I want the sabres to overpay for and I was hoping the eichel or reino trades would bring back exciting forwards to watch. Don’t forget, we don’t have a goalie yet either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonill Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Can't believe we tanked for him and we just gave him up for scraps I'm so pissed Edited July 24, 2021 by Buffalonill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 The rumour was indeed Risto then Sam then Jack, right? It was correct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 FWIW, Florida's 2nd-rounder is #56 overall. That might be one of the "picks" that are being finalized. Or maybe the Sabres are throwing in #33 and Florida is sending us Barkov, who has told Florida he won't re-sign there and has always dreamed of living near Duffs and playing for Donnie Meatballs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
