Trade!! Carolina Samsonov for Florida Panthers Allen

Interesting that TSN doesn't have this trade on their ticker yet..

That is strange, they already have the Campoli one up there. Wonder if that means its not true.

Just went on the ticker now..

TSN on the NHL Network has pretty much sucked all day long. They spent a couple of hours trying to fill the time before these trades came in and I never once heard them talk about the Boyes deal. Granted, I didn't watch for 3 hours straight but probably a good 2 hours and heard them talk about other trades two or three times. Seems this thread has the quickest updates around, lol.

They started with the Boyes deal at 8 am sharp. None of them really had a lot to say about Boyes but they agreed it was a good deal for Buffalo to take a chance on him.

FYI...

 

For those wishing for Liles, adding Boyes & Liles and subtracting Connolly next season, probably takes the Sabres within a few mil of the Cap for next season, with RFA's Stafford, Sekera, Weber, Gerbe & Butler to deal with, and UFA Montador probably looking for a raise(IMO deservedly so).

Well then, I take back what I said.:oops:

Cap geek has them at $44.8 million next year so far. That's still plenty of room to move, especially if they move a contract or two.

TSN has Penner to LA for Teubert a 1st, and another pick. Steep.

 

 

Well that is the most significant trade of the day so far... I'd like to believe we were in the running ....

Teubert is a big body.

 

I really wish the rumors of LA being interested in Connolly had been true because I think they really overpaid for Penner there. I might re-think that a bit now that I see Penner has one year left on his deal, but still, it seems a bit steep. I guess I'll wait and see what the conditional pick is (and the conditions).

 

edit: Fifty, LA just made a big buy for a playoff push. I can't see them dumping people now.

Isn't Penner a UFA after this season? If he is then I don't think we were in the running....

Rivet's $3.5 mill coming off books as well.

My bad. Maybe we were in the running.

Note to TSN on your Ticker: How about adding a chime when an update is pushed? Also a hyperlink to the player's career stats would be helpful.
