Buffalonill Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I don't know how anyone can defend this trade. We literally took a step backwards 4 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas23 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I get it. But don’t like it. Casey will be a PPG player on the Avs. We better know how to develop this guy. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Just now, Gatorman0519 said: Casey must of not wanted to sign here. But still that is a pitiful return. Eh? Seems to me that the team's decision to sign Thompson and Cozens to 1A/1B centre money signaled that the team wasn't fully sold on Mittelstadt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFinn Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Are we sending Byram to Calgary for Rasmus Andersson? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 A move like this had to happen considering all the talent in the pipeline. If it's Mitts for Byram straight up I don't like it, but I haven't liked much of anything Adams has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Looks like he plays on the Avs 2nd pair as the RD. so that's good I am a big supporter of Casey. Really turning into a top player on the team, and battles hate to see him go while floaters like Tuch and Skinner remain 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoath Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Don’t like this in a vacuum. Talks about developing players then gets rid when they’ve developed. Sounds like RK snake oil. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get it or like it. You’re absolutely right that Casey will thrive in CO. Unless we move out a big name LHD I don’t really understand it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When questioned about it earlier in the season, he said that Sabres management never approached his manager. I was hoping it wasn't true but it appears that Kevyn had already signed his core centers and wasn't interested in signing Casey. Kevyn's a fool. A damned fool. 3 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Moves timeline backwards. Check. Trade a player that was risk not to sign. Check. Questionable if it fills a need. Check. Player comes cheap. Check. Im good with it. 2 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looking down the pipeline with all the Centers he's drafted and feels Casey not needed. I wish he'd add a 2nd goalie.

Casey was pretty clear that he liked the city and seemed to be a leader in the making. They should have thrown the money at Mitts. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a rationale not too long ago that Casey was not going to be happy with a contract offer here given the deals to Cozens and TNT. I could see KA determining that he wasn’t going to offend Casey and just move him along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#freejame Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) Kevyn is going to make a pair of really solid FA signings to fill our bottom two centers. The deals are all but signed. This is called foresight and I’m happy Kevyn’s thinking ahead. Classic chess players mind. Edited March 6 by #freejame 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s really more of an indictment of Tage & Dylan’s defensive prowess than Casey’s own zone acumen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
