Because they want Casey? Give value to get value? This is the most optimistic take I can come up with.

...allegedly.

Buying low? You think Casey is buying low?

Kevyn's version of 4D chess

With Mitts gone we now have a spot in the top six for Tkachuk, right? ....right?

Okie and Girgs

So with Mitts off to Colorado I think this is gonna be the game TO beats up the Sabres. 11-2 TO.

EJ is not part of the D "core".

I hope you're right. I don't think you are but I hope you are.

The Montreal Expos of the NHL.

Didn't you know? @Brawndo lives in the future.

He's an RFA after his current contract expires.

Tage, Cozens and Mitts >>>>> Tage, Cozens and Krebs

This is not the context in which I wanted to post this meme but here we are.

It's both. I kind of knew this was coming since Mitts said Kevyn hadn't contacted agent, but still. Damn.

But they didn't even approach his agent. ASK him and let him tell you no, don't just assume he won't be happy.

Casey is the best two-way center on the team. This trade really hurts the team.

Casey was pretty clear that he liked the city and seemed to be a leader in the making. They should have thrown the money at Mitts.

When questioned about it earlier in the season, he said that Sabres management never approached his manager. I was hoping it wasn't true but it appears that Kevyn had already signed his core centers and wasn't interested in signing Casey. Kevyn's a fool. A damned fool.

He’s been out 5th round pick incoming!

The 23-man roster limit remains in effect until the deadline. Sure, we might sit, say, Okie and Girgs if they're on the way out, but the team can't add players to the roster in excess of 23 players until the deadline.
