Trade Deadline Thread (March 3)

Yea but… Wisconsin

Thems fighting words...

Tampa dumping salary. Wonder what they've got coming?

 

[MarkusKetterer]

in fairness, if you calculated winning percentages under each owner the pegulas might challenge for all time low

Don Cherry will own that record though

 

[zenthusiast]

I think that quote does suggest that Adams wasn’t offering the first after all.

As a Canadian… not sorry!

LOL. "Hey Bill, best we can do is Prokhor Poltapov and Vegas's 2nd. Good luck getting more than THAT."

Ah well, you don't know any better, can't blame you.

Or the GM thinks Ottawa is missing the playoffs and we might get in

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Watch Adams trade for Erik Karlsson now and give up Savoie in the process.

 

[deVolt]

Maybe with all this movement the buyers will be all out of space and KA can get some bargain deals on deadline day. Trying to stay positive so I don't stew over the Chychrun deal.

More like he is calling all the buyers trying to help them out shedding cap. Gotta weaponize that cap space to get his precious draft pick's. Trying to cope with the situation little differently myself.

Possible but it’s not like there’s a lot separating us

Not your fault. My hatred of the Packers and their fans makes me hate the entire state lol

Hronek is a good righthanded PMD. He has his moments, but as a mid-pairing puck mover, he's good.

Having an excellent season. He's a player we should have been in on if it was known he was available

That's fair, honestly lol

Specifically, this year's first. Which is apparently what Armstrong was after.

Agreed of the defensemen moved today he’d have been my pick. Carolina got the best value deal imo.

 

[Sabreality]

He can still make me happy if he can finagle Ferraro out of SJ for a 2nd and spare change

I wouldn't want to give up this years first either. There is no guarantee we make the playoffs.

Adams wants to hold onto the 2023 1st, that much is clear. I'm OK with the decision......just not OK with a popular Sabres blogger saying we "couldn't" match it.

That's where we differ. I dont feel okay about it.

Adams used three first round picks last year. That's a surplus of valuable assets. This year's first round pick, while valuable, shouldn't hold quite as much value to Adams because we're stockpiled with young, first round prospects who havent made the jump yet.

Where we have a GIGANTIC need is on the defense. Specifically in the top-4.

A very good, young defenseman was just traded to a division rival for undr market value while we have a surplus of assets to trade.

We'll see what happens. Adams is green. I hope this is a learning experience for him And he identifies and fills holes more quickly (giggity giggity). He's done somethings really well, so Im not getting my pitchfork out. I am slightly concerned, but it's not Friday yet.


If he pulls off a good trade by the deadline, then I'll reconsider my opinion.

You do what Ottawa did. Conditions on the 1st. And you make that top 5. You’ve now traded the most valuable asset

 

[KiwiGriff]

You’ll get Stillman and like it

I said uplift

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

This tweet is horse----. Buffalo could have given a 2023 UNPROTECTED 1st, a 2023 2nd (Philly's), and any other friggin draft pick in the next two years and easily beat that offer.

 

[Gabrielor]

I don't think there's anyone left worth trading our 1st for.

I'm also not sure there's anyone I'm excited about drafting in the 1st where we'll pick.

Maybe the east eating itself will pop someone available...

Chad tries to explain later in that thread that it is the Sens pick being (right now) higher than the Sabres pick that made the different.

 

[Dubi Doo]

There’s 2 f***ing days left!

I feel like I’m losing my mind here.

True. If he brings in another quality defensman, then all will be forgiven.

Im still going to vent, though!
