Trettioåtta Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Why? Legwand plays a similar role, just much worse. Why else would we have traded for a defensive third liner? How likely is it we draft Eichel at 2? Or will Murray decide to that up as well Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Why would we buy out a one year deal when we are so low below the cap? Maybe they send him through to Rochester, but that contract is staying on the books. Good point, I didn't think about burying him in Rochester if needed. Quote
sabres1970 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Andrew Peters: "Now with Legwand they can consider sending Reinhart down to ROC"...what the heck are you talking about??? Quote

Rasmus_ Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Legwand shouldn't be on the roster come September. Quote
deluca67 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Well, I took the day off to see what happens today. Now, I'm heading to the movies and lunch if I can get my appetite back. Quote

LabattBlue Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I've said before that Murray probably can buy himself several years as the Sabres GM just off of the EIchel and Reinhart picks. IMO he just burned a lot of that goodwill. Lehner for #21 is bad. Taking on Legwand? WTF? If it was Lehner and a good prospect from Ottawa for #21...maybe. This is what all of Murray's knowledge of Ottawa's inner-workings got us? How about Ottawa takes back TM in the trade. GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY REBUILD! Edited June 26, 2015 by LabattBlue Quote
sabills Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 The only thing that makes sense is the Murray freaking LOVES Lehner. I don't think almost any goalie is worth a first. I would rather they drafted Samulsson or whoever at 21 than trade for a guy. Quote
Trettioåtta Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 The hyperbole has officially jumped the shark. Poe's law Quote
BetterDays06 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 How can GMTM defend this trade or even try to argue that it was a good one? this is absolutely terrible. We could have just used lindback and kept the 21st and traded down or used it as trade bait for an actual player like O'Reilly. I seriously don't even care to watch the draft tonight now. We know we are getting Jack at #2, and now we have nothing to look forward to Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 True story: just cancelled my plans to go to the draft party at the arena. Friends and I are getting some chinese and watching coverage from a couch. Quote
dudacek Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Emotional reactions aside, this is clearly another anti-Darcy move. He set the market and went out and got the guy he wanted. He told us he wanted to use 21 to add a young veteran he thinks can be part of the core moving forward. Tim Murray doesn't care that it was too much to pay in today's market, he doesn't care that Lehner sucked last year. This is a bold statement he believes Lehner is that guy. He wanted a big talented young goalie as a building block for what he is building here. He took what he wanted and he paid the price. ZFG. Edited June 26, 2015 by dudacek Quote
GoPre Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Andrew Peters: "Now with Legwand they can consider sending Reinhart down to ROC"...what the heck are you talking about??? Peters was smoked in the head a few too many times as a "fighter" in his playing days. Don't take what he says seriously. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I guess the market has been set by GMTM, so even though we got screwed he likely also screwed the other teams looking for goaltenders. Quote
LabattBlue Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Andrew Peters: "Now with Legwand they can consider sending Reinhart down to ROC"...what the heck are you talking about??? Peters is a moron. He has pegged Reinhart for Rochester since the season ended. Quote
Derrico Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 What the is this?!?!?!?!!?!? First round in a deep draft.....traded for this?!?! Quote
nobody Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Now I expect that Lehner will get another concussion in his first preseason game with the Sabres and be out for the season. Horrible, horrible trade. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Dear Artus Irbe, will you please use your weird voodoo goalie magic to make Lehner not suck? Please, we beg you. Quote
Trettioåtta Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Lehner's sole good game last season was against Buffalo. Maybe Murray watched that game and just assumed he was good Quote
Rasmus_ Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Now I expect that Lehner will get another concussion in his first preseason game with the Sabres and be out for the season. Horrible, horrible trade. Stop wishing injuries on people before we even get to preseason. Thanks! Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Dear Artus Irbe, will you please use your weird voodoo goalie magic to make Lehner not suck? Please, we beg you. Lehner doesn't suck...he's average. And no, saying that doesn't make me feel any better. Quote
BetterDays06 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Great now Per Pierre Lebrun Senators will try and move up in the draft. UNREAL Quote
#freejame Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Andrew Peters: "Now with Legwand they can consider sending Reinhart down to ROC"...what the heck are you talking about??? One too many punches to the face, I guess. Quote
