Trade Deadline Thread (March 3)

[Ethan Edwards]

As this year's TDL comes to a close and KA speaks, I'm done with my (likely poor) attempt at an homage to @Buffaloed. I wish everyone all the best. Go Sabres!

 

[zenthusiast]

not if you dont have a place for those talents to be used, then he ends up in the press box

The place is over the terrible ahlers in the bottom pair

 

[Mattilaus]

Even this small move from Greenway has me back from the ledge. It shows KA was looking for help and shows management isn't restricting pay or they wouldn't have let him add 3 million to payroll for a bottom 6 player.

 

[Ace]

adams im completely emotionally involved with the people in the locker

oh god kill me he'll never move a roster player

Hey, Vic..Kev wants to see you in his office

 

[BuffaloGooner]

It is unbelievably funny that Philly didn’t move JVR

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Is it over?

KA: Asked if Arizona was asking for more from him for Chychrun than they got from Otw..KA pauses and says your words not mine...am I allowed to say this... finally says yes

reporter is fair to say those were your prospects instead of picks, KA, Yes

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

The place is over the terrible ahlers in the bottom pair

to do what? play d zone starts? play 14mins a night? penalty kill?

none of those rolls fit anything klingberg does except that he'd dramatically reduce the amount of time we'd spend shorthanded, and not in the way you want

Lol Armstrong is such an idiot. I feel bad for being so mad about Chyrchun

if I was to read between the lines, and this might require a very good pair of glasses

Admas just said that Bill Armstrong was being an ass and other GMs abandoned the trade talks because of it

Armstrong was attempting to strong arm people and eventually everyone just walked away and you can't put Chychrun back into the lineup after a 3 week benching for a trade, so he goes to ottawa for that package, Adams long way confirmed that trade package was not offered to Buffalo

Sounds like he confirmed that he was in on Chychrun until the end.

Apparently there was interest in Seeler also, and Fletcher hung on to him as well.

I wouldn't be shocked if Armstrong wouldn't budge on wanting Savoie or Kulich. My guess is Savoie given his familiarity with Geekie.

And now, due to his stubbornness, he has magic beans instead. 5head move.

Ideally, no, he’d eat more minutes so that the players better suited to those roles could fill them without being taxed. But when pressed into service, I don’t expect a significant drop-off from those players that aren’t NHL caliber.

I haven't listened to the presser yet - but i find it hard to believe that Arizona wouldn't take a similar (slightly better) package from another team than what they settled for. It just makes no sense.

Humans are emotional animals.

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

I didn't get to catch all of the presser but liked what I heard overall.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

genuinely it sounded to me like adams and armstrong had a fight about value and neither team was willing to reengage at what ottawa got

whose fault it was I dont know but the sabres are the one sands a chychrun and arizona got a shit package for him

lose lose all around

reminds of when burke said he doesnt trade with some teams because he doesnt like the gm, I dont like hearing that my GM couldnt get a deal done because he couldnt manage the personalities, but its possible armstrong went full tropic thunder so im going to stop referring to him as kevin fat crayons, at least for the short term

but i really like the name fat crayon so be on the lookout for the next candidate

Could be he never budged from his ask until KA and other GM's told him to pound sand and he took what was left.

It's hard to say if they had any opportunity to match/beat the offer with just picks. We just don't know. I'd have loved it if they could have, but we aren't in the room and other than alluding to it KA won't just outright say what actually went down.

It does though. Especially when you're talking about Arizona. They had no interest in adding players or prospects as that costs money. Picks is what they wanted.

It doesn't fill me with confidence. For all we know - Adams could have been acting equally emotional and cost himself an opportunity at improving his team as a result.

 

[toddkaz]

Adams - I love where we are right now and growth will come internally.

Really? So Bryson, Clague and Stillman next year too then.

 

[TheBarnIsElectric]

Sounds like he confirmed that he was in on Chychrun until the end.

And didn't want to give up anything of value.

Right. Then offer a slightly better package of picks than Ottawa did to get it done....

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

didnt hear that at all

 

[stealth1]

They had no interest in trading this year's first. They offered prospects instead.
