Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Buds17]

True and Kampf also cost a million more than Lafferty. You can say he did his job but there is no added value from his game.
Lafferty plays a rougher and in your face style and also a faster skater. He should had been kept instead of Kampf.


Still better Kampf this season.

Sure...although Lafferty may very well be due to make 'Kampf money' starting next season.

 

[Dreakmur]

Lafferty production was mainly bc he played with Petey for a stretch and he scored and produced.

He is a 4th liner that plays with an edge and doesn't mind using his body.
Kampf is Kampf.
To me they are about the same but Lafferty is someone who crashes the net more and plays with more sandpaper. also he is ONE million cheaper.
With all things considered, choosing Kampf over Lafferty was a mistake.

They play completely different roles. Lafferty is an energy winger. Kampf is a defensive center. Lafferty plays sheltered 4th line minutes. Kampf plays tough defensive minutes.

I would have liked to keep Lafferty too, but it was never going to be in place of Kampf.

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

I mean... they are both UFA's, so theoretically, you could either/both for free in the summer.

I thought Hanifin would've been RFA. My mistake

That’s next year. Minten will be more ready by the. Not to mention some of the other Marlies

Yes and No.
I think the fact that we don’t have a good defensive sound C beside AM might magnify the effect of Kampf. Lafferty can also play C and PK too.

Why give assets for them .
We would need both and a top 9 forward.
And we have no clue what is happening with our goaltenders.
Not the right time to be giving up a 1st or to prospects.

In some fairness to Treliving here, Lafferty didn't always do a whole lot of that (play on the PK, play at C) under Keefe last season. We'll have to see if potentially having Kampf over Lafferty here beyond this season proves to be more of a help or hindrance.

 

[TMLAM34]

We’ll probably need to move on from Kampf this off-season. 2.4 million for a 4th line center on a cap strapped team is too much unfortunately. Luckily we have Minten who can replace him in the lineup.

 

[dubplatepressure]

All we need to do to fix this team, is get faster, bigger, stronger, grittier, more secondary scoring, better defensively, and better goaltending. Easy Peasy.

Hah true!

I think Keefe didn’t know where to put Lafferty.
Which is quite interesting as Lafferty is someone who skates, plays hard and just an average 4th liner.
I don’t think Lafferty can play at 3C. But I do believe that Keefe and Tre thought Kampf can be a 3C thus rather have Minten, Holmberg and Marlies fight for the 4C spot.
Ofcourse, that didn’t happened and Kampf was demoted to 4C which is where he should be from the beginning.

 

[Fogelhund]

If Marner and Tavares are out for very long, should we sign Phil Kessel to a PTO?

Why, hotdog sales are down? There’s a reason he’s not in the NHL

I mean, I merely mention his name and Kessel gets us a goal.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Another Sabres game

He's apparently signing with the Canucks, or at the very least meeting with them right now.

 

[Jozay]

If Kings free fall continues, go after Roy.

 

[Menzinger]

He's apparently signing with the Canucks, or at the very least meeting with them right now.

Don't care where he goes, but we've got a better league if Phil's back.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Another Sabres game

When did Clifford become a part-time scout?

 

[Dreakmur]

Lafferty can also play C and PK too.

He “can” play center, but he’s bad at it, so sure. Does he PK? He isn’t doing that on a good team this year.

 

[TMLAM34]

Knies - Matthews - Nylander
Jarnkrok - Tavares - Marner
Bertuzzi - Domi - Robertson
McMann - Kampf - Holmberg/Reaves

Give this a run when JT, Marner and Jarnkrok return!

 

[Fogelhund]

Anybody watch this game really thinking, man that Parayko is a guy we really need?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Especially not for 6 more years. He will be even slower in his 30s....

To he honest I enjoyed his game, physical, good first pass, and good defensively

 

[Fogelhund]

Man... he's slow... like Jason Allison slow... slow reactions, got skated by several times, dumb penalty.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

I'm really curious what Bertuzzi gets in the summer.

Think he takes another 1 year show me contract elsewhere?
