Trettioåtta Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 After tomorrow I doubt our best roster player has that potential. Like I said, I have no problem with trying to get him, but I question why Ottawa would be willing to put him on waivers and lose him for nothing when he could be packaged in a deal or traded if he doesn't have issues/bagage But why not just include him in the trade? Multiple trades happening? I was more musing than suggesting it as a viable option. However, it would be an interesting way to give a player to a team if number of contracts were an issue Quote

However, it would be an interesting way to give a player to a team if number of contracts were an issue I understand, I just don't see the logic in doing it when they could just include him in the deal.If a deal is being made with the Sens for Stewart, and the expected return is a prospect, the Sabres are clearing a roster spot already by giving up Stewart and the prospect will be going to the minors somewhere so theres already a spot on the active roster. If they need to clear up a spot for some reason, I could see it being a 3 way deal, or the Sabres waiving someone instead. Quote
LastPommerFan Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 It's ok; he's not a goalie. He's also probably not 5'8" Quote
wjag Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 He's also probably not 5'8" Is he broken? Quote

If they need to clear up a spot for some reason, I could see it being a 3 way deal, or the Sabres waiving someone instead. There is the 23-man limit for roster space and also the 49 (or 50?) limit for number of contracts a team can have (which will make our abundance of picks in the last few years a small problem in the future). If they have room to accept another contract but we do no - i.e. they have 23 players on the roster and 47 players under contract but we have 22 players on the roster and 49 under contract - and the deal was Stewart for Conacher and Lazar. They wave Conny (making room on the roster), trade Stewart for Lazar (contract number remains the same, the Sens are back to 23 roster players), we then make room by trading D'Agostini for a 5th and then claim Conacher from waivers.

LastPommerFan Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 There are multiple Hockey Media Pros suggesting that the sabres would need to retain salary to trade Halak. The Sabres already have the max of 3 salaries retained. How do professional media personalities screw that up? Quote

It may be a lingo issue, where the media guys are talking about taking on a salary dump type player (i.e. Heatley) from the Wild. Not an actual "retain salary" but similar effect. that's the only defense I got to their buffoonery Quote

How do professional media personalities screw that up? well they aren't saying its possible, just that its what the wild would want if they are going to get Halak which will probably mean the Sabres will have to sweeten the deal to get them to remove this clause or take on a salary form the wild to unload Halak Quote
inkman Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Just a year ago Conacher had 24 points in 35 games. Our worst roster player (whoever you think it is) doesn't have that kind of scoring potential. Wasn't he playing with Stamkos or at worst Lecavalier at that point? I think I could have put up 15 points playing with those guys. Quote
nobody Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Wasn't he playing with Stamkos or at worst Lecavalier at that point? I think I could have put up 15 points playing with those guys. Just angle those calves towards the net and let the puck deflect in. Quote

... Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 You need to go back to worrying whether the Sabres are going to pick up Conacher. Quote

IKnowPhysics Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Penner, just traded to the Caps, tweets Obama, asking if he can crash on a couch at the White House for the rest of the season: http://fansided.com/...trade-capitals/ Bonus: he was traded on National Pancake Day.

Trettioåtta Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Must be tough being traded from the best team in the NFL to the Washington Caps! New team, new city, new sport, new friends etc. quite the culture shock Quote
