Mustache of God Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Bruce Garrioch ✔@SunGarrioch #Sens are closing in on a deal for Lehner with the Sabres. Expect a No. 1 pick to be part of the trade and perhaps David Legwand. I really hope we're not giving up a 1st rounder for a goalie...in GMTM we trust.. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I really don't want David Legwand either. Quote
Lanny Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) There has to be someone else coming with them, Legwand is a cap dump. Edited June 26, 2015 by Lanny Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 If we give up a #1 for Lehner and Legwand I'll be sad. Quote

There better be more than Lehner coming back if the HUT is right. Quote
Mustache of God Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Posted June 26, 2015 I don't understand the Legwand part at all. Last thing this team needs is a "past their prime" center. Perhaps Murray would somehow flip him over to the Avs for O'reilly? Not sure how that sweetens the pot but I don't see room for him on the Sabres. Quote

This is a major overpayment. Murray doing business w/ Murray. Must be effecting his ability to think straight. I'm about to puke. Quote

Expect a No. 1 pick to be part of the trade and perhaps David Legwand. I really hope we're not giving up a 1st rounder for a goalie...in GMTM we trust.. #21 for a backup goalie and a 34-year-old center who put up Hodgson-esque numbers last year and is due to make $3.5MM this year? That can't be right. If the Sabres are taking Legwand, Ottawa needs to be sweetening the pot. Maybe it's #21 and #31 for #18 (Ottawa's #1), Lehner and Legwand? Quote
Trettioåtta Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I really like Lehner, i'm just worried about his brain being scrambled Quote

This would be a horrible trade if it becomes true. A goalie who won 8 of 24 starts for a playoff team and basically freeing up cap space for Ottawa for the #21 pick in the draft would be a horrible waste of a valuable asset. I wouldn't give anything more than a 3rd round pick and even then I have doubts. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 As reported, this trade does not make sense. I also sort of hate that he's dealing with OTT. Quote

Ottawa has an internal cap so we help by taking Legwand. We move up in the draft, get a GT and that is that. Quote

That can't be right. If the Sabres are taking Legwand, Ottawa needs to be sweetening the pot. Maybe it's #21 and #31 for #18 (Ottawa's #1), Lehner and Legwand? That is actually a really viable trade. But I would also like to know Wookie's proposed trade Quote
That Aud Smell Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 The idea of Buffalo moving UP as part of that deal makes sense, as it was reported GM TM wanted to get back into the top 20. *And* it is quite possible that he knows OTT values the same guy he does, and therefore he needs OTT's spot in order to get him. Quote
sabres1970 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 No way Legwand would even play, that's just a buyout move to help out his buddies in OTT. Quote
inkman Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 That trade actually makes some sense. Ottawa has an internal cap so we help by taking Legwand. We move up in the draft, get a GT and that is that. That is a lot of moving pieces. Maybe coney hot dog or Oreo get included in that deal. Hell,can we trade the Right to Matt Ellis as well. :lol: Quote

That can't be right. If the Sabres are taking Legwand, Ottawa needs to be sweetening the pot. Maybe it's #21 and #31 for #18 (Ottawa's #1), Lehner and Legwand? Turns it into a 31 for Lehner and movement up in the draft. Like the idea, but have their been any rumors about this type of trade? Quote
Claude_Verret Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 My sens source knows nothing of the reported Lehner deal, but then again he's on the driving range right now too. Says he'd be surprised if they trade in division given what happened with Bishop. Quote

Expect a No. 1 pick to be part of the trade and perhaps David Legwand. I really hope we're not giving up a 1st rounder for a goalie...in GMTM we trust.. Atrocious. Given how awful all the rumors are, I'm getting to the point where I'd be thrilled if we made zero trades today. Quote
Robviously Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 20s21 seconds ago Robin Lehner heading to BUF. Sounds like Lehner and Legwand to BUF for 21st pick. Pending trade call. Not official yet. Ugh.... Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Ugh.... May I join you in the misery parade? That's gross. Quote
X. Benedict Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Atrocious. Given how awful all the rumors are, I'm getting to the point where I'd be thrilled if we made zero trades today. We are talking Garrioch here. Quote
