Laraque is infamous for information I seriously doubt we buy him out, why waste hockey assets? We're not the Oilers

Well Franzon's play last season inspired me to not give up on my dream of playing for the Sabres, and i can't even skate. I think it's safe who will be our 3RHD

I dunno, if Chia values Larsson highly (by all accounts he played well last year - especially the second half) and he is on a good deal (vs Shatty being a UFA). It could be true. Still an awful trade though

Habs will be hit if Weber retires early as he is set to earn £12 million this season but his cap hit is £7.8 million. So they are also 'benefitting' from the low end of the deal

Will he be in our top 6 next year?

Yup they do. As will Montreal

I didn't even see you suggesting either of these trades :p Bizarre day

What does Chia have against the 2010 draft?

The Sabres will make the playoffs. Calling it now. Top 3 in the division

1 for 1 Larsson for Hall? Man how do we miss out on these good deals

Exciting day. This is what the draft should have been like. Also very weird deals - awful both of them (for Mtl and Edm)

True. But the current champions had Kessel on their 3rd line. Depth is important and I think on a cup team, Larsson, Foligno and Deslariers are on your 4th line. If not utility forwards. Its a shame all our older vets are basically useless, otherwise, we could be having some nice depth appear

I would sign Pirri. 25 years old and was on track for a 40 point season last year Although it worries me that with little over 150 NHL games he will be on his 4th NHL team Chi - Fla - Ana - Buf?

So far I am pretty disappointed with this draft. I was hoping Murray would make some moves to improve us. I can't help but think of Nylander as an Afinogenov type player. Let's hope we can sign Vesey or this team has not improved one bit from last year. And that makes me worried for FA, as I can see us throwing $12 million at a guy who should be making $7-8 million.

Murray knows Luke Richarson from his Ottawa days. Richardson is Chrychun's uncle. i wonder if he knows more about the kids development and if that will impact his desires today. He also likes athletes and Chrychun did well in the physical tests

Man we could have done that trade too :(

Chychrun has scored very well in the physical combine too

Foligno is trash 9/10 games and then in the tenth game decides to use his body to bully the puck to the net rather than dangle and give the puck away. If it were me, I would let him walk and rot in the AHL

I don't think we get a D man. Edmonton takes Chrychryhcnrhn Calgary takes Jullovi Arizona takes Sergei

Naploeon being a dwarf aside. When has free agency been rampant? Its been getting worse for years as key players are locked up. Can anyone name the team that lost their biggest 1 or 2 players to free agency in the last decade? I can name one. And it was a day I'll never forget.

Wow that was an epic up. Shame it wasn't cashed in

Kane has 6 points in 5 games... How many does he need before he is contributing?

Vesey signs with us. Calligula signs with Philly Risto resigned at 6.25 for 6 years Trade for Hoffman Pysyk is gone. Ennis too. Chad signs for 2 years Legwand for 1 We sign Hamhuis for 4 years Trade for a youngish but decent Dman - maybe Tanev Sign Darren Helm COR starts in Buffalo. Bailey too. Rodriques is 13th man. Edmonton wins the lottery - because that is tradition Buffalo is selected third. Drops down in position (maybe with Vancouver/Tanev) and drafts Chrychrychrychryn

Sadly Phoenix will take a defender as they are short on them. Which means we will not get to pick, we will just draft whichever is left. Like whoever ends up arriving late to Professor Oak and ending up with Bulbasaur

Kane passing to Reinhart for the hatrick
