Oh no, don't say that.....................

I didn't know we were playing a game. Although it does make sense because nobody will be happy unless they win. :angel: I was just going along with the guidelines previously set by the comparison.

For that to be considered relevant to the discussion we shouldn't compare how many played 100 games, but how many have played 400+ games and have scored close to 20 goals/82 game pace over the last 3 years. I bet the percentages drop considerably.

Yup, only team close is the Leaves. They've got one more home point with three games in hand. Yup! Two equal teams, should be interesting.

Worst road team in the NHL vs the worst home team in the NHL. Ought to be a barn burner.

OK, I can get in line with that. But most of those picks were used to get rentals. By the time the Sabres are actually in a position to need rentals, those 3rd are going to be long gone. I see your point, I just don't see 3rd round picks as significant pieces of a big trade. I'd love to be proven wrong. ;)

Again, as I mentioned three or four times, what is a 3rd rounder going to buy? Do you really think that sways the deal for a blockbuster trade? What are we going to do with six 3rd round picks in two years, restock Rochester?

I've still got two more pages to read, but what the hell is your problem with people having a different position than you? You've done nothing but belittle anybody that doesn't like this deal and then bitch about the fact that the discussion even exists? Why don't you just move on to a different thread if you're just going ridicule the subject and its posters without any real substance of your own?

Fair enough, maybe some day I'll share the same optimism.

I just don't get all the hype over all the draft picks upcoming. So we've got 11 picks in the top 3 rounds over the next two years. 6 of those are in the 3rd round, so we've got 1 extra pick in the top two rounds. Are the chances even 1 in 6 that one of those six 3rd round picks plays more than 100 games in the NHL? All these extra picks won't do us any good, but it sure makes Rochester happy. I doubt it makes a difference in a blockbuster trade. "So Pete, you don't like that proposal I gave you for Hall? What if I threw in a 3rd rounder?"

When he does a presser and starts off by giving that smirk, I can hear the wheels spinning in Harrington and Sullivan's heads because they know they're not going to get the fodder they want.

Murray has done an unimaginable job of mastering the antics of the BFLO media. He knows what not to say so they can't use it against him at a later date, he knows what to say when they try to back him into a corner, and he knows when to throw out the "I don't give a damn what I said" responses to give them enough of an impression that he really doesn't care what they think.

I thought it was a pretty good thread until the snark showed up.

So why do you keep spending time in here? It's a pretty simple concept. If you don't like the discussion don't partake.

I don't know about you, but I'm not baking on draft day.

I saw mainly decent posts describing why this deal should, or shouldn't have been made. It's a thread about a deal made at the deadline, one that was mostly anticipated. Not sure what else you'd expect out of it. Were you hoping for porn and kittens? :angel:

Why does it suck, because there isn't unanimous acceptance of the deal?

He'll be a UFA, why would anybody trade for him? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not to mention Weber and McGinn were 4th and 5th on the team in hits/game.

I have, it's becoming irritatingly commonplace.

I've explained it three times over and don't plan on doing it again.

Well he had 3 PPG's before Ennis got hurt, and 3 PPG's after Ennis got hurt......... soooooo.............. Yes, really.

I don't think anybody agreed with that.

So why hasn't he?

Nobody was being confrontational, but it seems like no matter what I say somebody is in line trying to change my mind instead of trying to accept that I just don't share the same viewpoint. Most are civil about it, I appreciate it and remain civil with them. I'm not fired up by the trade, I'm starting to get fed up with being a BFLO sports fan. My patience is wearing thin.

I hope Stamkos never enters his mind.
