I agree with this.  Yes, they have Babcock.  They also have a pretty good, young team.

 

They did it the right way.  We're still in recovery.

How did they do it the right way?  Got lucky with ping pong balls?  They traded away everyone and their grandmother just like us during their tank year.  Only difference is they had been bad for so long that they had high picks like Kadri already in their system.

This enraged me. The merits / ethics of the Sabres tank can be debated and disagreed upon by reasonable people. That the Leafs did the exact same thing and seem to have been given a pass by everyone, their mother, and the Canadian media is just wrong.

Gimme gimme gimme.

What would you pay for him?

 

How about Brodin from Minny?

 

Its speculated that they are going to lose a Top 4 D for nothing in expansion and Brodin is the most likely target, why not offer a deadline package to acquire him? The question is would Fletcher want to trade him in season with the WC so open this year.

I like this idea. I don't know a lot about Brodin, but it looks like a situation where we might be able to take advantage of Minny's situation

 

Saw an interesting idea today: Fleury to Dallas?

Friedman's 30 Thoughts

 


On Gostisbehere: very early interesting parallel to Montreal and P.K. Subban. It’s very clear that he’s the target of everyone who faces the Flyers, and his strengths are being attacked just like Klingberg’s. It becomes a battle of wills. You’ve got Dave Hakstol saying, “This is what the next step has to be.” You’ve got Gostisbehere saying: “This worked just fine for me, thanks.”
 
You grind away to find a solution. Just because it didn’t work between Montreal and Subban doesn’t mean Philadelphia will go the nuclear option. Vincent Lecavalier and John Tortorella figured it out. Hextall strikes me as the type of guy who will wait as long as he can.
 
You know who else is going to go through this soon? Mike Babcock and William Nylander.

Maybe we should stock up on Nylanders if the price is right.

It would double our chances that one of them might work out!

Loving Scandella after that rush against the Hawks!

Canes with all those young D and a glaring need for a star centre have to be at the front of the Duchene list.

And he's got a great contract too, which is a must in Carolina.

Dreger or Friedman agree with you, they said the same

Scouts in Buffalo tonight for #Sabres and #NHL Ducks CHI OTT COL BOS DAL TBL NYR MON (2) PIT NJ EDM & DET

 

 

Jason Botterill Penguins Associate GM is the big name on the list tonight in Buffalo

Sabres Director of Scouting Rob Murphy was at the Tampa-Wild Game Tonight

I noticed Tampa had a scout listed at the Ducks-Sabres game.

Tampa looking for D help? Is that right?

If so I wonder if Kulikov is getting that much attention given Tampa's position in the standings.

 

Of course, I could have everything upside down and the Sabres are actually looking to take a peak at Minny.

Former NHL coach says #Bruins and #Avs are close to a deal. Posted by a writer who covers the OHL.

 

Landeskog to Bruins perhaps?

Just fired their long time coach.  GM knows it's on him now.  I could easily see a big move like this coming.
