It just seems like a waste. We are meant to have the best scouting department but didn't spot him. GMTM is meant to be a good talent evaluator but didn't spot him. How much can really change in 10 months? He is a forward - the easiest position to draft. Not comparable to goalies

Haha. My bad. You're the one whining :P

If we have given up our second this will just be awful. He was a fourth rounder LAST year. In one year LA could have turned a 4th into the 31st and a second

What else have I complained about?

Can someone pelase explain this deal to me? We traded an AHL-all star and TWO seconds (hopefully not ours) for a 2013 4th round pick and an AHL lifer?

Stewart and Halak seem like they could be Sabres at end of today. Hopefully Murray's reach has not exceeded his grasp

Must be tough being traded from the best team in the NFL to the Washington Caps! New team, new city, new sport, new friends etc. quite the culture shock

What online video or radio channel is best for coverage today? TSN? (I remember having issues last year with them - probably cos i'm not North American)

Ironic Lou is traded in the one year for the least however many where these hasn't been huge speculation. My guess he demanded this after the Herritage classic slight. That organisation is worse run than te sabres

We are going to struggle to get to the cap floor, we don't need a salary dump. Drew is better than a third rounder. Unless it is a decent offer there is no reason to get rid of him. Someone has to play hockey for us

There is the 23-man limit for roster space and also the 49 (or 50?) limit for number of contracts a team can have (which will make our abundance of picks in the last few years a small problem in the future). If they have room to accept another contract but we do no - i.e. they have 23 players on the roster and 47 players under contract but we have 22 players on the roster and 49 under contract - and the deal was Stewart for Conacher and Lazar. They wave Conny (making room on the roster), trade Stewart for Lazar (contract number remains the same, the Sens are back to 23 roster players), we then make room by trading D'Agostini for a 5th and then claim Conacher from waivers.

Multiple trades happening? I was more musing than suggesting it as a viable option. However, it would be an interesting way to give a player to a team if number of contracts were an issue

Sabres have first refusal... An underhand move in a trade? (something to do with the number of player contracts we have - this gives us 24 hours to make room but gives them instant room to accept players?)

It's a game of chicken now. Everyone's waiting to see who blinks first

They also got a solid line third centre for that price though

Fun game to watch at the very least

Man that is cheap!! Wish we could have snared him

###### it. I'm in. In a bizarre way i feel i owe it to him. A bottle of wine shall be my co-pilot through this flight. Here's to the shutout

:'( I'm gonna miss him. He was my favourite Sabre since I became a hockey fan. Nice video.

What if they also told him the moon landing wasn't faked :s Murray is in for quite the roller-coaster when he finds out aliens are real as well

To summarise the last few pages: "What was said at the press conference did not confirm my pre-established ideas of the dynamics in the Sabres senior management team, therefore I disagree with it/disregard it/think it is BS"

The Pegula hate is beyond weird to me. It is his team if he wants to make himself the GM then fine. it is his property. Despite this, would people still rather have TG? No. They wouldn't. Pegula is good for this team. I'm not going to leap to any conclusions about who the villain is and how TP is a monster in sheep's clothing etc. It is pathetic to do that. We all know nothing, but are quite happy to bitch about people because some have pre-conceived ideas and conspiracy theories. All we know is something happened to make PLF resign after a few months. PLF has done this before in NY I see no reason Pegula needs to be at any press-conference. People think he meddles and then doesn't show up to deal with the fall out. but what if, he doesn't actually meddle and isn't at any press conference because that is the job of the people he hired

This is interesting. Honestly I'll admit to being confused what a hockey president's role is (especially like 3 of them). I'm not necessarily sad or angry, but i am tired and drunk. I'd also like the full story

If a cockroach can survive nuclear war I think this shows the universe is consistent

I really don't. I want a captain. None of this leadership by committee where 12/23 players were letters over the season
