LGR4GM Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) So woke up this morning to find out that there have been serious discussion between Tim Murray and Joe Sakic about a trade involving the Sabres 2015 1st round pick for Ryan O'Reilly, Nick Magyar, and Colorado's 2015 1st. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie · 14hours ago Insider Trading, talks between Col and Buf over possible trade of Buf 2015 1st for O'Reilly, Magyar and Col 2015 1st #Sabres #Avalanche John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl · 11hours ago Rumors out of Buffalo indicate serious talks between Murray and Sakic over exchange of 2015 1st round picks and Ryan O'Reilly #Sabres Edited April 1, 2015 by Ligerovich 4GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'd have to guess this is his plan in the event we get 3rd overall in the draft. Seeing as Strome/Hanifan wouldn't be quite as useful for us with us presently having plenty of D prospects and Strome and Reinhart are too similar.

nfreeman Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 There is NFW that TM is going to trade the pick before the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'd have to guess this is his plan in the event we get 3rd overall in the draft. Seeing as Strome/Hanifan wouldn't be quite as useful for us with us presently having plenty of D prospects and Strome and Reinhart are too similar. That was my first thought.

carpandean Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Four possibilities: 1) Finish 30th pre or post-lottery: NFW we make that trade. 2) Finish 29th pre-lottery: do we trade 1/3 chance at McEichel for that? I doubt it. 3) Finish 29th post-lottery w/ Arizona/Buffalo win: See #1 4) Finish 29th post-lottery w/ any other winner: I'd be fine with something like that. #2 is the tough one. You would certainly require more value than the #3 pick after the lottery would command (else, you'd just wait), but it would still be a tough pill to swallow.

thewookie1 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Another thought is in the event we pick 3rd, he makes this trade, then he turns around and trades Col and the other 1st to move back up and grab whomever drops to 5-7 from the top end group after McEichel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he does anything remotely like this with McEichel. Most of us have said if we finish 3rd he will probably move the pick. He almost has to.

shrader Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 If I ran the board, April Foods Day threads would be a bannable offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 How many 1st round picks do the Sabres still have? If I ran the board, April Foods Day threads would be a bannable offense. Shoot you're right ... it is the 1st of April. You seem to have been MIA for a time. Hope all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 There is NFW that TM is going to trade the pick before the lottery. If he did, ZFG might not be enough to describe GMTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
