Ya that seems more appropriate.

So did we just give up our number one dman, number three forward (based on points) and starting goalie today? I know we got back a good dman as well but this should be nice for the chl stretch run.

Lol nice. If we get mceichel in the draft do we still go after ROR? Isn't mceichel and Reinhart our top two centres for the next decade?

Not sure why some don't get this trade. He's a ufa and it seems obvious Murray doesn't want enroth long term. Therefore he got what he could for him. Enroth was never the long term answer. Questions surrounding next years starter didn't just arise from this trade. If Murray wants him he could still sign him July 1 anyways but I'll be shocked if that happens.

:w00t: So true.

Exactly. In his presser earlier he gave the big 'we're not tanking' blah blah blah because he knew he had a trade like this also lined up. God I love sneaky GMTM

I've wanted this trade for two months now...... I really hope this eliminates any crazy 3-10 CHL runs.....

Good points. It's unreal how differently Murray values some attributes in comparison to Darcy.

Wow very interesting thanks. Listening now and Tm describes the new goalie as a big as one of his first comments. Just another sign that I don't think enroth will be back and I hope they move him soon.

A summary would be much appreciated!!

Anyone know the time of the presser??

Another great post right here. This is literally the trade that shows we are done completely unloading talent for futures and are bringing in guys who can help us next year.

Very well said. Completely agree.

Wow. I'm not as pissed about this deal as some seem to be. If we end up with McEichel I think Kane will be a perfect top line winger.

He's played really well since the trade.

Took me nearly ten min to write and had to change it four times before I had it down in the chl lingo.

With Edmonton and Toronto with wins and zona on the way to a win it was a great night to steal victory from the jaws of defeat.

We've lost some games we had no business losing this year so it's nice to win one we should have lost.

I was only commenting on how the rebuild did bring us Risto and Zad and they're only not prospects anymore because they were good enough to make the jump to the NHL at a very young age. I would have to really do some digging to confirm but I think most of the 2013 draft players are still considered prospects because they're not in the NHL (I'm thinking of guys like Domi and Nurse). As for Tim being aggressive I am completely on the same page. I think he will start that come the draft. It would not surprise me one bit if the Sabres land Kane. When Murray was hired he came out and discussed the tank openly (too openly in some cases) even making reference to manipulating the roster come trade deadline and how he believes the team will be good after two drafts. I think the tank was 100% planned for this year and after the season he will do anything and everything to improve the team in the immidiate future. We keep hearing quotes about how he's ready to make a deal now. I think Sabres fans having to be 'patient' lasts 2.5 more months and then it is full on Go Time.

I know but your quote was implying the rebuild has only brought us one legit prospect and that's just not true.

Keep in mind that Zad and Risto are what? 19 and 20? Girgs is 21? Those guys came through this rebuild and are only not prospects because they are already playing for us.

Big loss for the oilers. Shots were 24 14 Edmonton as well.

Your going to have to wait for the offseason for that. I think this summer that's exactly what Tim will be going after. For the next month it's going to be nothing but futures we're looking at.

We must be watching a different player this year. I thought Myers has played well this year, especially considering he's on a terrible team and playing the toughest minutes.

Why would they even show those scenes? It'll be a pretty big letdown if they just leave it.
