From Kris Baker:

 

Johan Larsson: hard working C, excellent all-around skills, thick frame, really nice offensive upside.

 

37 points in 3/4 of an AHL season is offensive upside now?

If picks are involved, this will be much more palatable.

 

Agree. Without any picks coming our way, I hate this trade

Eklind, I know, says a 1st and 2nd too. god let it be true

 

Though probably the 2 goes to Minny and the 1 goes to Buf.

 

Unless the Sabres are keeping a big chunk of salary for the picks.

This signals that the Sabres are looking at a 3 year rebuild, and not looking at icing a competent team next year. You can say goodbye to Vanek now, too. (Over the summer.)

I like the new guys' names. That's all the analysis I have on them.

 

You're probably going to love Hackett. :)

We just traded our most consistent player for the past 7years... Idk how I feel about this trade. This sets us back depending on how these "prospects" come in and play.

Yeah, we've done so well with JP leading the charge. Does that set us back to 29th or 30th?

3 years? right now they arent anywhere near that. These kids have almost no NHL experience and stockpiling picks doesnt get you NHL players in 3 years. Yes i know they could flip them but this team is getting a whole lot worse pretty fast.

wow I am not even allowed to be sad that we just traded a player I have watched for the past 8 years>?

To be fair you sounded more critical than sad.

It's been great. I only hope that the goalie you got for me lets you get rid of that sourpuss Miller.

 

I'll miss you all.

 

I'm thinking about changing my name now. I think i'll go from Pville to VilleL. I'm sure Leino will step up his game now :blink:

Don't forget what's already in the system. And these kids will be 23 and 25 in 3 years.

 

But what's certain is that the Sabres are looking at a slow, Pittsburgh-style turnaround and not a quick, Montreal-style turnaround.
