1st rounder, and two players for Guerin

 

As I posted a while ago in the trades thread, STL got Nemenin, a 1st Rounder and Jay Barriball (Leading scorer at Univ of Minn. this season)...

 

That seems like a bit much.

I loved Marty, especially after what happened last week, but they really needed the money and depth up front with all the injuries. At least Conklin has playoff and Cup Experience last year with the Oilers, albeit he was horrid. While I think some may disagree, I'm really hoping that the Sabres trade away Connolly and Kalinin and get 3 players - 2 UFA Forwards, and 1 UFA Defenseman. What this does is open up cap room for the Sabres to keep Briere and Drury next year and makes them really good for this year's playoffs. I hope the rumor about Ryan Smyth is true and one of the players they send to Edmonton is Connolly with a pick potentially.

That too would make me exceptionally pleased.

 

Of course nothing says they can't do both Sakic and Smyth-then I can really lose my mind :)

I can think of 9 million reasons why they couldn't...

Joe doesn't do much in improving blue line depth...

Right, well the rumor had Kalinin and Connolly moving, that's 3.5ish, we already have 2.3 free. Kotalik and Max to Edmonton makes another 4. That's 9.8. It wasn't THAT hard. ;)

 

So we'd move Kalinin, Max and Kotalik off the roster, add Sakic and Smyth and basically keep Stafford up after everyone else is back and have 800k leftover to get another defenseman. Seriously, I don't think this is happening. I'm just saying it could if we were so motivated.

 

 

That would also be a major reworking of the roster, which I don't see the Sabres doing with a team that wins when healthy (unless we know we aren't going to be healthy).

 

In my thinking, they're still in add an experienced player and a depth player mode.

interesting rumor of joe sakic coming in exchange for kalinin and connolly on wgr550

 

RUMOR

 

Ridiculous. Neither Connolly nor Kalinin will be traded.

I can call in WGR and create crappy random trade rumors too. How about Briere and Paille to Pittsburgh for Crosby?
