My comments are consistent - I don’t think we can evaluate this trade until Adams finishes his off season move. Hardly chicken little. In summary: The trade created a sizable hole at center. They got younger on defense - potential salary issues when Byram is up. They still lack a certain big physical presence on defense. They have more work to do on this roster. You simply cannot comprehend. Put me on ignore and do us both a favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did they not earn their shot after breaking records in Rochester? Plus I wouldn't of wanted to sign a longer term contract to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 (edited) Sabres are gonna miss what Casey has become, good possession guy... good along the boards, always a tremendous passer and underrated shot... his play making and ability to go up and down the lineup is going to be a loss.

I don't though, as you're entitled to your opinion. I can take people disagreeing with me without taking offense. Continuing with the topic at hand, I look forward to seeing what Krebs can do in the 3C role with better playmakers than what he has had centering the 4th line. I also believe that Mitts will be missed, but as most have stated in this forum, a change was needed to be made. Hopefully it was the right move. Time will tell!

I never called you ignorant or anything else for that matter. All the name calling is on you. But I’ll grow up and use the ignore capability to give everyone else a break. I don’t even think we disagree extensively on the trade. Reading comprehension is the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 This is where that Skinner contract money and term are killers. I would rather have Mittelstadt on this roster next year. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 (edited) I understand why a forward was traded. The Sabres have a pile of forwards and already have 3 huge contracts on the books for forwards (Skinner, TNT and Cozens) and have JJP and Quinn coming up for deals after next season. You can't keep everyone. What I don't understand is why Casey was for forward voted off the island. He possessed a unique skill set on this team, and we have no one on the roster or in the pipeline who does what Casey does well. I also understand the want to acquire a top 4 D, but honestly Byram doesn't bring anything to the top 4 that we don't already have. Dahlin is the No. 1 D and needs a partner, just not one with the same skillset. We need more physical play on defense and better in zone play. Byram doesn't bring either characteristic. To make it worse, he is also damaged goods. TM would be proud of this trade. Like most things KA does, the concept is good, but the execution is terrible. 18 hours ago, Sidc3000 said: I don’t get their obsession with being the youngest team in the league They are trying to get themselves relegated to the CHL.

DarthEbriate Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 It should be noted that Mitts never had a Star Wars nickname. Perhaps it was simply looking into the future. But Byram pretty much writes itself: BB-4. He joins R2-D6 and Muel-PO in the droid defense corps. The trade makes complete and total sense. Good job, GM Sheevyn! 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trying to get themselves relegated to the CHL. I think the BN said Casey would take at least $6M and they can’t keep everyone for the reason you stated. I just hope they bring in some new vet forwards and not just give spots to prospects. My initial thoughts were what you have in bold. If he turns out good how do we pay him, Dahlin, and Power in two years? I guess they manage that as they go.

I raised this issue earlier. JJP, Quinn and Byram are all going to need new contracts after next season. If your Byram's agent and he has a good year, are you really going to re-sign in Buffalo? Also, if we can't afford to keep a unique forward in Casey, how can we afford new deals for all 3 of these breakout candidates? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a stall tactic; even if all three pop off next year we can bridge the two forwards and give Byram a reasonable length deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 (edited) I've heard that part of KA's performance bonus is tied to thread lengths at SabreSpace. 24 25 pages so far on a trade... KA's going to Sizzler.
