Could we toss in a 2nd rounder from this year as well to help sweeten the pot? We have so many 2nd and you see so many traded at the deadline that we should be able to package some things together. TM just has to identify who he wants to go after. As for Toffoli I don't know much more than his stat line and I'm not up on Kings prospects but if he is worth trading for then we could try Moulson plus some pick(s).

Let's hope Ben can give Edmonton some better goaltending then they've had this year (which he should). A few more Oil wins will certainly help #TankNation

Yep I'd make that move if available. You can only have so many draft picks and this year seems like a weaker class. I also don't think too many teams are going to offer up their 2015 1st so let's see if we can turn Moulson into a young player with upside.

Oh grow up.

Not another undersized winger. Isn't Ennis enough? Or do we consider him a centre now? Either way I don't want two guys in our top 6 under 6 foot. Not in today's NHL.

We may see an Ottawa trade but depending on who it is, I'm always a little leery about trading within the division.

As I said before, I really think that's easier said than done.

I'm not overly interested in picking 5th this year. I'd be ok with it next year but if we can pick top 3 in both drafts, then we're talking.

Hahahha, where do I sign up?

I think this is easier said than done. If casual fans already realize 2015 is a much better draft than '14, I would think every other NHL scout and GM knows this. I doubt too many want to part with their pick in 2015.

Not with the way we've been playing. And the way the Isles have somehow turned things around.

Yep, there will be more than just one or two teams full on tank mode next year.

I would say the same for Zadarov.

Agreed. IMO I just don't see him re-signing with us. Could be wrong but a guy that age with no real family ties here that sold his house last year, I just don't know why he wouldn't want to go to a team with a chance next year. Also, based on some of TM interviews, it sounds like they want to tank this year and next and then start to be competitive after the 2015 draft (which I completely agree with). Wasn't there a quote somewhere saying the trade deadline can even manipulate that? I think the market is soft for goalies but we will still make the trade for something and bottom out over the next two years. I'm sure he will be acquiring young pieces over the next year and a half but no quick fixes from what I've heard (thank God).

Wow, great catch, thanks for that. I'm so excited about what we can do over the next decade. We've got some real nice young building blocks (especially those two 1st from last year) plus a boat load of picks over the next two years. Now that it appears we have a legit front office, the sky is the limit. This really is a new era in Sabres history. I know I'm buckled in and ready for the ride....

This made me smile. I never lost faith in TPegs. Just felt he didnt' know enough hockey ppl when he bought the team and therefore made the wrong choice to stick with Darcy. I think he's learned his lesson and look at our front office right now, wow. Look, it's still going to take a couple of years to get the on ice product turned around but boy does the future look bright. Long live Tpegs!!!!!

Shot at Melnyk?

Even the guy on the far right?

Great, thanks 26.

I really hope we keep Devine around. But as you said who knows what he does, other than TPegs and Patty, he's the boss now.

I know I speak for others as well when I ask someone to maybe summarize what is said during the presser. I'm at work and noway to listen to it. I'll watch it later but this is huge and I'm very impatient.

Hhahahha, I even changed it literally 2 minutes after but you had already caught me!

Ted Nolan has been relieved of his duties. :P

Yep. Looks like we may need to hold a rally!

Don't give up now Weave, only 15 more months to go!
