GASabresIUFAN Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Posted February 28, 2017 They certainly aren't moving Vatanen at the trade deadline. First trade. Mat Bodie from the NYR for Catenacci. Solid college and AHLer who has never gotten a look in NY. Maybe he gets one here when Kulikov and Franson get traded. Harrington called it an AHL depth deal. I think it's GMTM getting someone on the cheap to try in the NHL and I'm ok with that. I wish he had tried this months ago.
I-90 W Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 I would. We have no idea what Kane's longevity plans are after he becomes UFA.

I think it's the 2nd 't' in his first name.
MattPie Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Bodie seems to be lacking something. I think it's the 2nd 't' in his first name. I approve this comment.
GASabresIUFAN Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Posted February 28, 2017 He did. They're called Falk and Fedun. I was talking about such a move when those guys got called up. Bodie seems to be lacking something. I think it's the 2nd 't' in his first name. I thought it was a "r" in his last name.

He did, more than several times, his name is __________ (insert Kulikov, Franson, Gorges, Nelson)
nfreeman Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 He did, more than several times, his name is __________ (insert Kulikov, Franson, Gorges, Nelson) So you make the exact same joke as Doohickie 90 minutes later? No wonder this franchise is in the pooper.

GASabresIUFAN Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Posted February 28, 2017 He did, more than several times, his name is __________ (insert Kulikov, Franson, Gorges, Nelson) We are paying Fransn, Kulikov and Gorges about 12 mill for this season. I'm not sure that's GMTM getting them on the cheap.
Jsixspd Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) At least Franson has some offensive contribution - he has more goals and points this season than Bogosian, Gorges, and Kulikov combined. Those last 3 are the ones who should be sent packing - probably impossible to get rid of though with their high salary and horrendous performances. Can they buy one of em out? It wouldn't be anything new - Terry Pegula spending more good money after bad. That seems to be a Pegula Hallmark - spend millions for nothing. Lameo himself was signed during the Pegula era - and they're STILL paying that slug, I believe. His 6 year deal ends July 2017. Not sure if they paid him lump sum, or 2/3rds of his contract each year. Edited March 1, 2017 by Jsixspd

Randall Flagg Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Murray should trade Samson. :devil: If he's comfortable playing him at wing long term, then absolutely get some value from him before it falls to that of a decent top 6 winger.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 If he's comfortable playing him at wing long term, then absolutely get some value from him before it falls to that of a decent top 6 winger. When I think back to Murray's quote prior to picking Eich ('we picked a centre last year and we will pick a centre this year ... you have to be strong down the middle' ... or something like that) I have to think that Samson will be playing centre very soon.
TrueBlueGED Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 If he's comfortable playing him at wing long term, then absolutely get some value from him before it falls to that of a decent top 6 winger. This makes sense, but man, the thought that this could be the outcome makes me want to kick puppies. When I think back to Murray's quote prior to picking Eich ('we picked a centre last year and we will pick a centre this year ... you have to be strong down the middle' ... or something like that) I have to think that Samson will be playing centre very soon. Not as long as Bylsma is the coach.

Yep. Besides, we may have given DLo his shot, but we're not sure about what Okposo and Franson could do in the middle. Have to do our homework.

darksabre Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 He tried to grind the other GMs down, but they were just so good today. It's tough to make trades in the NHL.

Samson's Flow Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 :w00t: Hey, at least he was able to dump that Cat-Nasty contract. We Won the Trade Deadline. I mean we got Mat Bodie. Mat f##### Bodie. The last one "t" Mat was Mats Sundin. He was good. :flirt:
