Marco Scandella/Jason Pominville traded to Sabres for Ennis/Foligno

They save $1 million on Poms for Ennis.

The save $1.5 million on Foligno for Scandella, but Foligno is  free agent and will likely get a raise.

 

Got it.

 

Maybe a hair over $1.5M ($4M v. $2.25M) on Foligno, but, as you say, he's going to get a bump.

 

Weird deal for MIN, I think.

I want more speed with Eichel.

Jason Pominville can still skate. No, he isn't as fast as Jack, but he can still move. And he can finish. And finishing is the most important thing.

We're going for the Sheary - Crosby - Guentzel thing with Jack.

 

Nobody on this board would have given up an asset for Sheary 2 years ago, or Guentzel 6 months ago.

I've met Jake several times this past year. My friends in the Baby Pens organization were super pumped about this kid so I paid attention to him. They knew he was going to be a damn good player way before the season started. They weren't wrong.

 

PS - he's a super nice kid.

I like Pominville's shot with Eichel. Maybe then we keep Kane on Eichel's left side to be the wild attacker/grinder. But I'm still seeing a Baptiste or a Bailey for the speed.

 

But more importantly, in trading Pominville and trading Pominville... this is going to mess up my chart of what we acquired as part of the deconstruction of the old core.

I agree with most of you that this will help a lot.

 

Top 4 D for Marcus is basically what happened.

 

I don't think Ennis will be his former self, wish him well.

Fighting is slowly fading away but Marcus was capable and willing.

Pominville is the oldest in this deal but he's more versatile than Ennis and better than Gionta.

 

What's next JBot?

Good so far.

Kane has plenty of speed and can score
