LeBrun: Sabres looking to make “big” trade

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

Is he ready to play in the NHL in the top 4 here and now and cover Power on defense? I'm not sure.

Is Power that bad defensively?

 

[McJC]

Can we get McLeod back? Thx

Well, that's not his strong point, we just need a stable partner for him who will be good at defense. Power is still developing.

Nope… he is our 1C tonight against St Louis

What's the value on Marner?

Because there’s been a lot of reporting that that is normally the case? There are also players who have California on their list due to cost of living and taxes. Different things motivate different people.

It's annoying because like I said Calgary aside, nobody else in Canada has issues attracting and/or keeping talent.

It just doesn't seem true.

I suppose Friedman talking about how some agents were given the go ahead to take Edmonton off players’ lists indicates it has been an issue. Friedman had mentioned it, so has Lebrun and guys like Craig Custance - even that hack Seravelli talked it up last all star break.

I'd send Kopi & Doughty, but PoHO Luc thinks, "we're right there".

I love this in theory. In practice it might be tough to do. If both players only had next year remaining on their deals, I think it’s easier for Buffalo to navigate. That extra year with Doughty is tough. With that said, what kind of package would LA be looking for from Buffalo?

Connor Murphy is your guy...

I really feel like this trade should happen. What kind of return is Chicago wanting for Murphy?
