Trade Deadline 2015 (March 2nd, 3 p.m.)

[Hoss]

Stewart will be dealt. We'll still get a decent deal for him. But I don't think he has the value some of us think he does. He was terrible for most of the season and has only excelled recently on a consistent basis. Team don't know which Stewart they're getting.

 

Mitchell will just be basically a favor for a contender looking to add a bottom six guy. Fourth at best I assume.

 

Neuvirth is the only big question. I legitimately have no clue what's going to happen with him, but I don't get the feeling there's even a small market for him. Murray might have to give him away.

[LastPommerFan]

They have picks, I'd rather keep the 6' 2" 230 lb bull to hammer the D down low on the fore-check.  

 

He has absolutely no incentive to sign before 7/1. We're not going to offer him 8 years, which is the only advantage of having him on the roster for the next 5 months.

[LGR4GM]

Yotes are going to trade Yandle and it's going to be big.

I knew this was going to happen but still sucks seeing them keep making these moves. It's going to be tough out tanking them over the last 19.

[Brawndo]

It also gives Murray more time for opportunity to match. IE Neuvirth

I disagree. I think getting Stewart to sign is an easy sell. He's facing the prospect of being with five teams before he's 28 years old. I think offering some stability would go a long way.

Moves and countermoves.

[dudacek]

I like Stewart's skill and his ability to chuck 'em, but the idea that he is a good forechecker is a myth and his defensive game is only saved from being worst on the team by Hodgson.

I'm open to re-signing him to protect McEichel, but I will be pissed if they don't trade him first.

And there is no reason to believe that TM hasn't already let Stewart know where he'd fit into the LT plans. The chance for stability and being part of a from the ground - building up team after a chance to play some meaningful games might be appealing to him. It was for Moulson and McCormick.

 

Doubt that if he does see a future for himself in Buffalo that the 2 month vacation would sour him on it. Can definitely see a better than 50% chance that he and Neuvirth could both be back in July after leaving in March.

Yandle to the Rangers... details will filter in as the evening goes on.

Awaiting details on Yandle to NYR trade (pending trade call) but ARI believed to be picking up 50 per cent of Yandle's money.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie  1m1 minute ago

Key components likely to be going the other way are Anthony Duclair and draft picks, incl a 1st round pick. #TradeCentre.

[Hoss]

It's Anthony Duclair, John Moore and picks. This is very bad news for our tank...

Domi and Duclair together again. Reinhart to follow?  :ph34r:

[LGR4GM]

Yotes will retain 50% of Yandle salary as part of the trade.  This thing still isn't finalized.

What if it's for their first rounder? :P

[LGR4GM]

I think we all are forgetting just how bad the Sabres are being outplayed and we still haven't traded the 2-4 UFA's that Murray will by 3pm tomorrow. 

What if it's for their first rounder? :P

No. 

[Hoss]

What a deal for the Coyotes. It's Duclair, John Moore and a 2016 first... AND they retain salary. What a joke.

[Guest Sloth]

Murray better get the UFA's out of town. Do whatever it takes.

[LGR4GM]

Darcy really let himself go.

It's his first shot at UFA. I think he's gonna see what it's all about. That said, if it's gonna be an easy sell, no reason the extension can't get inked tomorrow. If he won't sign tomorrow, it's not an easy sell.

[Hoss]

Yotes also included a bad defensive prospect (Chris Summers) in the deal.

[LGR4GM]

Couple of sources indicating Yotes may be getting back a little more than currently reported. Duclair, Moore, 1strnd, and possible other pick.

[Trettioåtta]

Have the Yotes basically locked themselves 30th? Losing Yandle and Vermette can only help them. OEL limping off the ice too

No

 

We got this

I'm guessing that all of UFA's don't get alot back without adding something to it.

Yep.
