He isn't even good enough to break into our projected forward group for next season. At best he's the 13th forward for 2021-22. Why acquire him? Skinner Eichel Reinhart Asplund Mitts Thompson R2 Cozens Olofsson Girgensons Eakin KO Bjork

Yes

Are Foligno and Hall not both top 6 wingers? Isn't Hall the younger, faster and the more productive player the last 1, 2, 3 & 4 years? Honest Hall should have been worth more then Foligno. Obviously you believe and maybe correctly that our GMs have zero negotiating skills and that every time we make a bad deal that it was the only offer on the table and that the other side said take it or leave it. If that is the case then Jbot should be absolved for the terrible ROR trade. Under your reasoning that was the best deal available at that time. Why do other GMs make better deadline deals? Do we just wait to long, lack negotiating skills, have zero clue how to create a market for our players etc?

Can we now put KA on the hot seat. He just isn't ready for this job.

No, I posted up thread that trading Lazar for Bjork straight up would be a bad trade and that the Bjork was more expensive, doesn't player center and isn't as productive for twice as much money.

Watch Boston flip Hall for a 1st tomorrow.

I expected more because the market said he was worth more because of the Foligno deal. At least he could have gotten another late pick or a conditional 1st such as Stanley Cup or re-signing like Jbot did in the Kane deal.

With another incompetent GM putting his stamp on this franchise, I'm feeling the Cup is nearly in our grasp. Say hello to your 2021-22 Sabres Skinner Eichel Reinhart Asplund Mittelstadt Thompson R2 Cozens Olofsson Girgensons Eakin Okposo Bjork Dahlin Jokiharju Bryson Ristolainen Miller Borgen Togarski Warms the heart doesn't it?

I'll take that bet.

Why isn't he relevant? Is he not an new player acquired during the trade deadline period? He was dumped by another club to make cap room and we acquired him on waivers. My guess is that he is going to get a 17 game tryout to try to earn a contract here next season.

Fla got him and re-signed him for next season. Apparently they felt he could help their already good hockey team.

Reinhart for a bag of pucks, a 2nd in 2025 and an option on Jack Eichel.

Deadline so far Out JoJo, Montour, Staal, Hall and Lazar In a 2nd, 2 3rds, a 5th, a 6th, the singer Bjork and the corpse of Drake Caggiula. Then you know the tank is on for sure.

actually it was a 6th. My bad.

What does Palmieri have to do with my post of Foligno vs Hall?

Our new LW Bjork

A 33 year old Foligno on an expiring contract who tallied 16 pts YTD went for a 1st and a 4th. Our 28 year old winger on an expiring deal with 19 pts went for a 2nd. Am I missing something. It's a further illustration that KA has zero idea how to be a GM in the NHL. Not a surprise, he isn't qualified for the job.

He gets a big fat D- so far. A 3rd for Montour, a 3rd & 5th for Staal and a 2nd plus Bjork for Lazar and Hall. Plus he picked up the corpse of Drake Caggiula. What a joke.

LOL, maybe he just isn't good?

It's a terrible trade. Foligno went for a 1st and a 4th. We traded Hall and Lazar for a 2nd and a player, Bjork, who is twice as expensive as Lazar, who is only a LW, doesn't take faceoffs, and isn't as productive. This trade is worthy of TM. It's one of the worst trades since McNabb and 2 2nds for Fasching and DeLo. KA got fleeced. We basically gave Hall away for nothing. KA should be fired for this deal. Awful. Lazar for Bjork would have been a bad trade. There honestly better be more to this deal then is being reported.

We did retain.

Foligno equals a 1st and 4th and we got a 2nd and a bad singer for Hall. KA should just resign. Bjork has 2 more years at 1.6 per season. Why was this guy acquired?

What?! He was one of few productive bargain players we had.

ATM. How many people here wrote some or all these prospects off? I wrote Thompson off. It’s amazing how an opportunity and a little confidence from competent coaches can help young guys succeed. The ATM line is money right now.

Ramadan Kareem my friend.
