Vanek Traded to NYI for Matt Moulson, 1st in 2014 (or 2015!), 2nd in 2015; 4 Months Later: Moulson to MN for 2014/2016 2nd Rounders

Everyone excited about picks: How many 18 year olds can this team have? Can we seriously expect that NYI had no 21 year olds in the system who would help this team?

That's what I like about these picks….

Well, if anything, this shows the Sabres have written off this season, and likely next as well. Also, no accountability for Regier for the absolutely dreadful product we're seeing out there right now.

So glad this is now done. That whole MN thing was scaring me. Vanek lost all interest in this team and the youth has been carrying any good play so far this season. Get Miller on the next train outta here and call it a day. I can finally breathe now that the TRUE rebuild is now underway. Get a power forward for Miller, draft top center and off we go.

I'm with ya.

Thing is, with the scuttlebutt that Vanek wants to sign with the Wild next season, who was going to give the Sabres anything like this for him? I think this was the smart move, because I'm sure Vanek gave them the heads-up that there's no fricking way in hell he's resigning to this clusterf*ck.

 

Moulson could work out, but I suspect they're looking to trade for even more picks or, as someone noted, another Larsson.

Florida needs a goaltender NOW!

Two big reasons that (so far) we got less than we did for Poms:

1. Pominville had 1.5 years left on his contract.

2. The chances of re-signing Vanek seem lower due to everyone assuming he's headed to Minnesota.

I do wish we could have gotten this done in the offseason with Niederreiter as a piece.

I would have preferred one blue chip prospect coming back than a package, but I guess this is what was out there.

Looks like Moulson isn't being flipped straight away

 

Miller is here for now. No new trade talks. He is playing very well, so open to keeping him

 

Meh. Not really.

Preferred, sure...but I don't think it was ever a realistic expectation. These are always quantity for quality deals.
