Marchand got traded to Florida. No info on the return for Joker

[matter2003]

 

He said "if" they got it done on time...we don't know if they did or not

Well that’s an odd choice for Boston. Do they want him long term? Otherwise it’s pointless.

Just looking for warm bodies at this point?

Yup. With McAvoy out, Hampus out, and Carlo traded...  they simply needed a D-man. Joker basically steps into the RD1 for them.  (Which... pretty good opportunity for him to go into UFA.)

Providence doesn’t look to be high enough up that you wouldn’t want to disrupt them with a call up. 
 

But whatever, at least we got something for him.

This one must be in the queue as they say because no one is saying yes or no on it.

It's reported as done by TSN.

This is the turning point of the entire Sabres organization 

Remember where you were when the news broke

[shrader]

I can’t imagine that Boston was flirting with the floor after the money they’ve sent out today. I just can’t see any other reason to add Jokiharju unless they need to add some salary.

Not confirmed yet?

[Palm Trees And Taxes]

For Mitts?

So we traded 2 of our active D-men. Someone getting called up from Roch?

We got back an active d-man so probably no

Very likely not, they were already routinely going 11-7. JBD is on LTIR at the moment, but he should be back within a week (he was already practicing with Ottawa).

If someone does get called up, if it's not Ryan Johnson, it's just a couple-game look-see for them to see the NHL speed.

But today's trades don't lead to anyone getting an extended end-of-season look.

Finally this guy is gone.  One of the softest players on the softest team.  Curious what the return is…

He was harder than Power by a bunch. And I've seen him give retaliatory slashes and get scrappy, something I've not seen from Samuelsson. But it is true, he wasn't going to clear the crease. I don't know if JBD will, either. Joker is heavier than JBD.

That 3rd round pick in 2027 will be a huge asset for the 2031 Sabres as the playoff drought extends into a 22nd season
