Let me guess -- a 6th round pick in the worst draft in a decade

2024 4th is a lot more than he's worth. Pretty good return.

 

[Steddy33]

Yeah that's as good as it's gonna get for Buffalo today

 

[Beerz]

I'd take EJ in organization somewhere.

Solid dude.

 

[PirateShip]

4th seems about right.

 

[HOOats]

And as an added bonus, this should hurt Philly's playoff chances. Win-win.

Thanks for making Dahlin buy a sauna.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Honestly not bad

Imagine being mysteriously sick for two weeks before the trade deadline that you can't dress and then getting traded and suiting up for Philly's first game.

I wonder what kind of mysterious illness did that? A few veterans over the years were injured with the same illness. It seems to be only catchable in the Buffalo area so I think the rest of the NHL is safe.

Never thought EJ would have gotten more than KO.

Frankly I thought the returns would be reversed.

 

[5 Minute Major]

They had to do something. It was borderline embarrassing admitting you have 3 #1 overall picks on the blueline and still couldn’t sniff the playoffs.

They can LTIR Ellis, they didnt need us to eat cap.

Danny B doing the Sabres a favor

Danny B doing the Sabres a favor

They had three rookies in the lineup in their last game. They probably look at staying in the playoff hunt as useful for them. It's not so much a favor as it is just filling a hole. Risto and Drysdale (shocking) are hurt, they traded Walker.

Didn't Oko want to go to Florida? Seems like KA did him a solid. Perhaps that was just a rumor, though?

A 4th is good value for EJ.

The lack of salary retention for our players is very telling.

Cool! Now do Girgs!

not trying to be obtuse - what is telling about it?

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

EJ was washed for sure, but I think he played a mentor role in getting this team to play better defensively. Even if he couldn't play defense, he knows how to play defense.

A 4th rounder is great value. Flyers overpay for Sabres RHD once again.

Fare thee well Eric.

Cheap owner

Cheap owner
