Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XVII

13 OV? Lol

Isn’t Frank a Philly guy? Wouldn’t be surprised if he knows the DeAngelo family who told him that.

Maybe. Who knows for sure.

He's been sympathetic to Tony in the past.

Philadelphia's owner getting impatient with the rebuild and firing Hextall was a huge mistake. Buffalo got a good return for Ristolainen considering the entire league should know how bad he is by this point and not be offering a 1st round pick+, yet here we are.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Oh Chuck Fletcher what are you doing HAHAHAHAHAH

 

[rangers1314]

And Philly is taking on the full deal? No retention from Buffalo?

 

[Gardner McKay]

Nah. I've watched him for since he played in Finland. He's got a bad rep because of that absolutely horse shit team in Buffalo. I mean Dahlin looks awful there.

He has a bad rep because he has played like shit. Bad players can still play well on bad teams. He has been a bad player on a bad team. Almost every metric available backs this up including the good old fashioned eye test.

WE LOST ADA BECAUSE GEORGIEV IS A GARBAGE TEAMMATE? AHHHHHHHHHHH

Seriously, it's not surprising.

We lost ADA because he's an a**hole

 

[NYblades]

So with another 1st rd pick, are the Sabres now more inclined to ask for only players rather than a 1st rd pick in an Eichel trade package I wonder.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

You see trades like this and it makes you realize why most GMs are so gun shy about making trades. They suck ass at it.

All the talk about Vancouver wanting a top 6 winger and their 9OV pick being in play makes you wonder if Drury is going to move Buchnevich there and then use that 9OV pick in an Eichel deal.

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Holy lord what a bad move

 

[Anthony5967]

Ristolainen, Eichel...still talking about DeAngelo? Move on, LOL. Whether you love or hate him, he's not here anymore.

Doubt it.

Lmaoooo

Well, we all have opinions and I accept being an odd ball here

That said, going to the AV system in Philly is not going to improve him lol... He needs a good D-partner to get the best out of him. Well, next summer he can choose himself.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The danger of having and old school GM and a moron HC.

 

[New York RKY]

You love to see it.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Sabres fans think they can get Fox for Eichel. Or Jack Hughes + 4th OA. Or Kakko+Chytil+Nils+9th OA (Strome trade).

Can’t make this shit up.

 

[NYR94]

"Not like this"- AV, probably

Pretty much exactly the scenario Seravalli has been going on about this week.
