Trade: Lehner and Legwand to Buffalo

[Johnny DangerFace]

The only hope is lehner becomes a top 5 goalie like Ottawa fans keep saying he has potential to be

[shrader]

Look, I think this deal is as bad as everybody else, but let's not get carried away.

 

I'm a little confused by the outrage of taking on a $3 million cap hit for one year.  That will have no impact on this team whatsoever.  I'm not crazy about this, but it has very little to do with Legwand.

[nucci]

I don't think he is even worth a 3rd round pick. This is just a horrific trade if true.

I tend to agree

This.

[LGR4GM]

Here are his career stats...  :sick:

 

[LabattBlue]

I've changed my mind about the wedding I'm going to at 4PM.  Get me the away from my computer and smartphone.    If Lack & Talbot go for significantly less, my head will explode.  

 

All TM had to do was bide his time.  There are more sellers than buyers.   

[K-9]

And now other GM's begin calling Murray to take advantage of him....

Yep. Murray just became the league's b!tch.

 

GO SABRES!!!

WGR not reporting anything. I wonder if they are even at work yet

That's the other part of this!  Why are we even making a trade this morning???  What's the rush?  Literally NOTHING about this move makes any sense.

Ottawa should have been the one on the receiving end of the cap dump in this trade in the form of one CODY FREAKIN' HODGSON.

God I hope someone has something wrong. Like something was missed. Give us a 2nd back in the deal or something. 

[GoPre]

Every time I refresh this page I hope to see Buffalo was given something else. Still in disbelief. 

[Claude_Verret]

Until it's official I refuse to believe this is all there is to the deal.

[LabattBlue]

This is a really really late April Fools joke, right?  :huh:

[That Aud Smell]

if true, i do not get it. at all.

 

it was a buyer's market. he said so himself.

 

the fact that he's dealing with OTT, and players that are "his" ... makes me think of another GM who valued "his" guys a bit too much.

[GoPre]

Maybe Liger is in on it. He pulled one the other day w/ Eichel. 

[Trettioåtta]

Oh man this is an ugly trade and it kills our hopes for ROR. Classic Buffalo move.

 

Murray is not a good trader

[LGR4GM]

I would rather have traded for ROR... that is the level of hate I have thus far for this trade.

[LGR4GM]

Maybe Liger is in on it. He pulled one the other day w/ Eichel. 

I am not even that evil.

[sabres1970]

We're doing them a favor in two ways: taking Legwand's salray and overpaying for Lehner. Can we at last send them Hodgson so they can buy him out? Jeez, I'm sorry but we're getting fleeced here. 

[pi2000]

Can't believe I woke up to this trade. Very disappointed. Puts a wet blanket over on Eichel Day, .

[GoPre]

I still have my hopes up! ha ha 

[bob_sauve28]

This can't be right

NYR are meeting now. Flames are pushing hard for Talbot. Oilers, Stars and Sharks still in mix. Two 2nds plus get it done?

[Two or less]

Huh? They send out the trade alert text at 9:56am and it's all they've talked about on hockey hotline.
