WildCard Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I liked Flynn. He's a great 4th liner. I'm not surprised at all e was moved: I figured it was either him r Mirchell Murray was surprised to get calls on. I think his departure will have a bigger impact than we suspect Quote
Eleven Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Slow news day when there's a separate thread--pinned, no less--for Brian Flynn. Quote
inkman Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Kevin Weekes @KevinWeekes Opposing GM's continue high interest for @BuffaloSabres Neuvirth & Stewart.I know Buff GM likes both players,holding for good returns. Did Murray pay Weeks for that Quote
carpandean Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Do you think this is the "can you believe that I'm calling you about this guy" player that GMTM was talking about? Quote
dudacek Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 To me, Flynn will always be the poster child for this era of Sabres hockey. Quote
Hoss Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Slow news day when there's a separate thread--pinned, no less--for Brian Flynn. That's how all trades work. Quote
dudacek Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Flynn sounds a bit gob smacked. Will say it seems like most players seem to like it here. Quote
WanderingEye Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 At least you can be assured that Murray is truly committed to tanking if he's dealing NHL caliber players on the level of Brian Flynn. Quote
woods-racer Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) At least you can be assured that Murray is truly committed to tanking if he's dealing NHL caliber players on the level of Brian Flynn. Sarcasm will get you everywhere. Edited March 2, 2015 by Woods-Racer Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Honestly though, these are the players I want gone from this team. I don't imagine flynn being on a contending sabres team, ship him out. Bring up schaller Schaller can fill in Flynn spot just fine Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I still think Flynn is the new-age 4th liner on a decent team, wouldn't have minded keeping him around. Not gonna cry he's gone either though. Quote
Drunkard Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Flynn helped derail our post deadline tank in 2013 so I'm happy to see him moved. Good luck to him in Montreal. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Flynn, like many Sabres, is long on character but short on talent. I think this move is about clearing out pro contracts for the future. WTF was Nolan doing putting Flynn out on the power play? Oof. Quote
biodork Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Well that was unexpected. Slow news day when there's a separate thread--pinned, no less--for Brian Flynn. No kidding. Do you think this is the "can you believe that I'm calling you about this guy" player that GMTM was talking about? Was wondering the same thing... who knew there was a market for him? Oh well, no big loss (but kind of silly given the low return). Quote
Iron Crotch Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 180 lb. forwards who score 6 goals per year aren't worth much more than a 5th rounder. Murray knew he wasn't going to resign Flynn (RFA) so might as well send him to the Habs. Quote
Weave Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I still think Flynn is the new-age 4th liner on a decent team, wouldn't have minded keeping him around. Not gonna cry he's gone either though. I assume he doesn't have a heavy enough game for what Murray is building. I'm really surprised that a good playoff team was interested in Flynn. Quote
X. Benedict Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I assume he doesn't have a heavy enough game for what Murray is building. I'm really surprised that a good playoff team was interested in Flynn. Safe depth move. He's not going to hurt you. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I assume he doesn't have a heavy enough game for what Murray is building. I'm really surprised that a good playoff team was interested in Flynn. I'd agree with this, I just disagree with the philosophy. Modern 4th lines aren't just body-bangers, you want players who have defensive value and can play ~10 per game. I think Flynn is just that. Now of course you can get that in a more physical package, which I think is what you're getting at, so I'll show myself out now :lol: Quote
WanderingEye Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Bergevin: Let's cut to the chase here, Tim. You and I both know what I'm after. Murray: Stewart? Bergevin: Brian Flynn. Quote

DirtDart Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I did recently post that I couldn't wait until the day Brian Flynn wasn't one of our everyday forwards. Like the guys attitude. Hope he succeeds in Montreal. Not part of the future here. Now we just need Ellis gone, I assume a bag of pucks would compensate. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 GMTM trying to make us forget about Bob Corkum with this deal? Quote
