shrader Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 NSH and CBJ are down their top goalie, I wonder if we trade with one of them. I could imagine NSH giving us a first for Enroth if we play our cards right. At least a 2nd though Columbus is 14 points out of the last playoff spot. Why on earth would they trade for rental goalie?

inkman Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Myers & BUF's 2nd rounder for ROR and COL's 1st and a conditional 1st if ROR doesn't resign in 1.5 years. However, the 2nd rounder becomes the higher of the two non-BUF 1sts if COL misses the playoffs. That trade has more moving parts than sofia vergara on a treadmillhttp://youtu.be/u0w9My5iTB4 Edited January 27, 2015 by inkman Quote
Doohicksie Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 I'll carry him piggy back to the airport Mitchell's been a lot better for the Sabres than, say, Boyes. Quote
thewookie1 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 That trade has more moving parts than sophia vergara on a treadmill Well you've got to admit it sounds like a GMTM move based on the Miller trade's complexity. Columbus is 14 points out of the last playoff spot. Why on earth would they trade for rental goalie? Marketing mainly, they just made the playoffs for the 1st time in years last year and had two NHL All-Stars; you really think Columbus wants to risk losing all the momentum they gained this past year? Stafford and Enroth for a 1st :) it would at least show their trying to get to the playoffs and we've seen stranger trades. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 From a post on another website, I saw that Rinne might be skating with the team again. Pekka is fine. He wouldn't have missed any time had it been the playoffs. I saw him walking around the suite level last game and he was skating normally at practice yesterday. BTW - Carter Hutton isn't very good, but Marek Mazanec who has been playing down in Milwaukee is the goalie of the future. He was recalled for tonight's game and might play. Quote

LGR4GM Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 I want Smashville to win the cup. Idk, I just always like them. Also the Forseberg trade... genius. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 I want Smashville to win the cup. Idk, I just always like them. Also the Forseberg trade... genius. I can't pull for them as long as Laviolette is their coach, and that appears to be a long term relationship. Just can't stand him. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 I want Smashville to win the cup. Idk, I just always like them. Also the Forseberg trade... genius. The Forsberg trade was ridiculously one sided, obviously. And, Poile made arguably the best free agent signing of any team by signing Mike Ribero (39 points) for only $1.05 million and pairing him with James Neal who he played with in Dallas. Ribero was a total steal. Quote
inkman Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Mitchell's been a lot better for the Sabres than, say, Boyes. I don't disagree but he's also a better skating version of Matt Ellis. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 It makes we want to vomit uncontrollably. My uncontrollable vomit has lead to dry heaving. It's not pretty. :sick: Quote

thewookie1 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Do you even think before you post these?.... Do you have no ability to think outside the basic reasonings behind a trade. Marketability was partly the reason we middled for years. Columbus has had some trouble drawing fans and they seem to be growing now, Ohio St winning only makes keeping them self relevant more important. Edited January 27, 2015 by thewookie1 Quote

If any name screams marketability, it's Jhonas Enroth. Quote

Iron Crotch Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 With Erik "Guitar Master" Johnson out for a month or more, expect the Tyler Myers to Colorado rumors to be hot and heavy. Quote

Hoss Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 There's a growing sense that Jagr will be dealt prior to the deadline to a contender. Looking at contenders that might have a desire to pick him up I could see the following as logical destinations: Montreal: they've had trouble scoring on a consistent basis and there have been rumors of Jagr to Montreal for years. Nashville: They've been looking to add a top-six winger for some time according to reports so he could be their fit if they want to add experience. Winnipeg: There has been some wondering if they'll look to add a forward to help solidify themselves as a playoff team. Pittsburgh: The return to Pittsburgh has always been talked about and Rutheford has said that the team likely isn't done trying to get the lineup they want. NY Islanders: Okposo is out for up to two months which could lead to them trying to add, but it would have to be sooner rather than later since he'll return by the deadline. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 @DarrenDreger: Penguins trade Marcel Goc to St Louis for Max Lapierre. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 No mention of what teams, but some are interested in Gorges per 4th period http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/buf150127.html Quote

He's a perfect veteran presence on the blue line. Plus, trading him away after convincing him to come here wouldn't look good for Murray or Buffalo. Quote

sicknfla Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Unless he requests it He started the season off great. Played his ass off. Gone down hill all year. He has not bought into this loosing stuff very well. Could very well see him wanting out. Quote
beerme1 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Unless he requests it Still wouldn't look good. He came here cause of his buddy knowing full well this would likely be the most trying time of his professional life. I think he he's here for the long term and enjoy the turnaround that starts to happen the minute this dreadful, life sucking, waterboard wishing season comes to an end. And then, it's summer. Ahhh.
