apuszczalowski Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 The only thing thats changed now is there more names available now then there was then as teams have made the decisions to become sellers closer to the deadline (Rangers, Sens, etc.) The Sabres have been sellers since thanksgiving (maybe even Canadian Thanksgiving), the Sens and Rangers have officially become one closer to the deadline. Now you have guys like Nash entering into the equation for teams who may have been interested in Kane, teams are hesitant with Kane because of his past reputation of being bad in the locker room. They will not, nor were ever going to get asking price for Kane, not with his reputation and upcoming UFA status. Either the Sabres should be looking to lower the asking price or start working on an extension.
Gramps Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Craig Custance was on GR this AM he spoke to a GM who is a buyer and he mentioned that the sellers have not backed off on their asking prices as of yet. He mentioned again certain teams are hesitant about taking players with term remaining as here maybe a Tavares Sweepstakes this Summer, this benefits Kane. In addition there is a belief around some teams Kane will be movitated as this is a Contract year. I believe he is coasting to avoid injury until he is traded, that’s just me though. Custance was asked what effect Nash would have on Kane, states he has spoken to the Sabres and there is not that much concern as there are 8-10 teams still interested in Kane. Custance feels Nash and Kane are top tier of the rentals and there is a drop off after that. Servalli mentioned that it is unlikely Hoffman gets moved I don't see him coasting - he had 9 SOG today and 4 hits - mixing it up some with Tom Wilson.
Brawndo Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 I don't see him coasting - he had 9 SOG today and 4 hits - mixing it up some with Tom Wilson. He played much better today, but there still times he looked disinterested away from the puck.
PerreaultForever Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 He played much better today, but there still times he looked disinterested away from the puck. It's kind of odd that this sentence could be applied at some point to almost every Sabre.
Two or less Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Flyers just traded for Petr Mrazek. There goes any rumors of CJ or Lehner going to Philly
CallawaySabres Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 How many teams out there would you not make a full swap with? I would say Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal may be the only 3.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Can we please stop treating Incarcerated Bob like a legit source?
GASabresIUFAN Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Mrazek is worth a 3rd (19) and 4th (18)? What is Lehner worth? 2 - 3rds? Maybe the 2 3rds and a goalie?
darksabre Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Can we please stop treating Incarcerated Bob like a legit source? He is a legit source.
Brawndo Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 He is a legit source. I have no idea how he does it, but the information he gets is damn impressive
darksabre Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 I have no idea how he does it, but the information he gets is damn impressive His rumors don't always play out, but a lot of the most legit sources have the same thing happen. He has scooped trades and most certainly has some connections. Good enough for me with respect to the "sources say" crowd.
Thorner Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Mrazek is worth a 3rd (19) and 4th (18)? What is Lehner worth? 2 - 3rds? Maybe the 2 3rds and a goalie? Lehner is probably worth the same or less in a deal. Wings even retained on Mrazek.
TrueBlueGED Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Mrazek is worth a 3rd (19) and 4th (18)? What is Lehner worth? 2 - 3rds? Maybe the 2 3rds and a goalie? Keep in mind, that 3rd in 2019 is conditional upon Mrazek re-signing, which is far from a certainty.
apuszczalowski Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Mrazek is worth a 3rd (19) and 4th (18)? What is Lehner worth? 2 - 3rds? Maybe the 2 3rds and a goalie? Without TM being a GM anywhere, I doubt much....... I really doubt anymore then what Detroit got
Rasmus_ Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 This Mrazek deal is definitely another slap at our group. Lehner had to disappoint Sabres fans again, getting injured. #Karmaisa*****
erickompositör72 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 This Mrazek deal is definitely another slap at our group. Lehner had to disappoint Sabres fans again, getting injured. #Karmaisa***** Lehner is not sought after. His injury is irrelevant. The idea of getting a return for Lehner is Sabres-sucking-induced delusion.
Huckleberry Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Lehner is not sought after. His injury is irrelevant. The idea of getting a return for Lehner is Sabres-sucking-induced delusion. He is better than mrazek, but no one is going to pay for a starter at the deadline.
Brawndo Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Gibson left the the Ducks Game with a LBI last night.
North Buffalo Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Rodriquez for a bag of pucks. He turned his back on Risto while Risto was under pressure, Risto back passed it to him and the guy didnt even see the puck. Can he not skate backwards. I want him and his botoxed lips gone... can I say that?
TrueBlueGED Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Has the fan base really hit such a low point that we're actually mad about a 4th round pick? Holy smokes.
LGR4GM Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Has the fan base really hit such a low point that we're actually mad about a 4th round pick? Holy smokes. I was thinking that too. We really are mad we haven't received a 4th rounder for Lehner. Seems a little bit self hating at this point.
nucci Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 We should have traded him for the best prospect that was offered to us back in late December/early January. I predict he fetches a second round and mediocre prospect now, even with us retaining up to 50%. Which prospect was offered?
Doohicksie Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Rodriquez for a bag of pucks. He turned his back on Risto while Risto was under pressure, Risto back passed it to him and the guy didnt even see the puck. Can he not skate backwards. I want him and his botoxed lips gone... can I say that? Risto totally whiffed the pass. You can't pin that on ERod in any way.
Drunkard Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Which prospect was offered? I don't know. I don't have a crystal ball, inside sources, or any of that jazz. Instead of sticking to his ridiculous 4 piece nonsense we should have taken the best prospect offered though. It's been well reported that teams have had an interest in Kane but have hesitated because of the high asking price of our GM. It's not a stretch to say that these interested GMs would have offered us a good prospect for Kane if they didn't also have to include a first round pick, a roster player, and a conditional pick as well.

North Buffalo Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Risto totally whiffed the pass. You can't pin that on ERod in any way. He did but not so much while under pressure if erod could skate backwards and kept his eye on the puck. It was an empty net for christ sakes... want him gone too many dumb mistakes.
