Trettioåtta Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 For comparison: Hudson Fasching 12G-15A-27P in 31 games played for Gophers. JT Compher 11G-17A-28P in 30 games played for Wolverines. Both freshmen. This kid could be the ######. I wanted Fucale over Compher :P Clearly I have a thing against these guys... Oh well, it seems like the guy has potential. Just seems like a lot to pay for him. Let's hope it was the low seconds and he isn't a huge bust/having a one-hit wonder season Quote
nfreeman Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Bishop for Conacher was also a hockey trade made by GMTM. Shots fired! But a fair point -- except that GMTM was the assistant, so presumably not his final call. But his fingerprints are on the corpse. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Shots fired! But a fair point -- except that GMTM was the assistant, so presumably not his final call. But his fingerprints are on the corpse. Rebuttal: Rundblad for Turris. Turris is currently a 2nd line center, while Rundblad is a fading prospect who can't crack the NHL on a full time, let alone significant, basis and was just traded again for peanuts. Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Posted March 5, 2014 I like this trade. From what I have read both guys coming back seem like rising players with good upside and importantly compete and size. Good trade IMPO. Quote

I wanted us to trade for Turris. The guy clearly hated the Yotes and although he would never become a star, I thought he could become serviceable. I don't think GMTM is a bad GM (or assistant GM) but I want him to make the right moves, which to me, are the safe moves at the deadline Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Posted March 5, 2014 Sabres PR @SabresPR 1m #Sabres have acquired forwards Nicolas Deslauriers & Hudson Fasching from LA in exchange for Brayden McNabb, Jonathan Parker & draft picks Quote

I don't think GMTM is a bad GM (or assistant GM) but I want him to make the right moves, which to me, are the safe moves at the deadline We've had 15 years of safe moves (with some risk tossed in for fun)...I'm ready to swing and miss! Besides, how fun will it be watching heads explode if this is all we do today? :P Quote
nobody Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Who the hell is Jonathan Parker? Now we know why the Kings don't need to trade for Moulson. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 I think you're looking at it wrong. We basically accelerated the development of two future 2nd round picks by turning them into prospects closer to the NHL, and the price of doing so was McNabb. This is the best interpretation of what this trade was about for me. Murray is looking for our prospects to peak in a few years and draft picks are generally going to take much longer to be NHL ready. These two could be 1-2 more years away from being NHL considerations and that the value. 15 draft picks doesn't help us much if we don't use them as ammo. Quote
Derrico Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Who the hell is Jonathan Parker? Someone mentioned he was included so buffalo could free up another pro contract. Makes sense..... Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Picks are the 2014 and 2015 2nd rounders we got from LA in Regehr deal. John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl As part of the Hudson Fasching deal, the Sabres give back to the Kings the 2014 & '15 picks that came to Buffalo in the Robyn Regehr trade. Edited March 5, 2014 by LGR4GM Quote
inkman Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Someone mentioned he was included so buffalo could free up another pro contract. Makes sense..... Pretty much the Sabres lowest value asset Quote
Samson's Flow Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 I would assume Parker was included to even out the # of pro contracts since we were at or close to the max. Picks are the 2014 and 2015 2nd rounders we got from LA in Regehr deal. John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl As part of the Hudson Fasching deal, the Sabres give back to the Kings the 2014 & '15 picks that came to Buffalo in the Robyn Regehr trade. Pretty much our two lowest value 2nd round draft picks. Makes sense that a team would want to recoup their own picks. Quote
bcsaberks Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Who the hell is Jonathan Parker? Right after Pegula purchased the Amerks Parker was in on training camp try-out I think and lit it up. Pegula spoke to local media "this is cool, this kid is here on tryout and looks great and we signed him". He was on fire for the first couple of months in ROC, then flamed out and has bounced between Gwinnett and Roc since. LA native I think. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 This trade basically just tells me Murray isn't that high on McNabb. We had a log jam of defense prospects, so no big deal. Hopefully Fasching turns into a player down the road. If so then good trade. Quote
deluca67 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Jonathan Parker! Now they've given up too much. :rolleyes: Quote
Iron Crotch Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Who the hell is Jonathan Parker? Spiderman's brother? Quote
