Trade: Fedun to Dallas for 2020 7th RD Pick

[TrueBlueGED]

Meh? Meh. 

[Randall Flagg]

There was a time when Fedun was one of the only D in the organization that could pass the puck out of our zone. 

That's why, for example, he found himself on the ice when Jack had that sick OT goal in Nashville in 16-17.

That time has past.  Now he was 15th on the depth chart.

Absolutely, and it was funny, too!

Right, so let him try with another organization.

Exactly... Guhle, Pilut, Borgen and Redmond all would come up to the Sabres ahead of him.

Why?  Because he dumped an AHLer?

It was a joke

Yeah, once I read the whole thread I got that.

I remember Fedun being on the ice and the team playing faster, clearing the zone, etc. I'm glad he gets a new opportunity.

[7+6=13]

I never hated Fedun.

[LGR4GM]

Clearing a contract. Drops us to 48 right?

[woods-racer]

I liked Fedun. Always thought he had a chance.

 

I also forgot the Sabres still had him.

 

I like bags of pucks just as much if they give the young man another chance with another team.

Yes it does and the NHL is approaching the time when Teams begin to make contact with Pending College UFAs Agents I mean "Family Advisors"

This probably was the biggest reason for the trade in addition to giving Fedun an opportunity to play.

I see this as a pure give a vet a chance to play move.

Fedun may have even requested it after playing just 9 of 14 games.

He was behind Redmond, Pilut, Borgen and Guhle and battling with Daugherty, Hickey, Tennyson and MacWilliam for ice time. You just can’t have three guys sitting out regularly. Kids aren’t developing, vets aren’t happy.

Randy Sexton, via Hoppe:

Sexton said Taylor Fedun, a veteran defenseman the Sabres traded to the Dallas Stars on Saturday, did not want to leave the Amerks.

But Fedun, 30, was occasionally a healthy scratch this season and in the final year of his contract. Sexton said with newcomer Jack Dougherty close to returning from a lower-body injury and rookie Will Borgen playing well on the blue line, a trade “made good sense for everybody.”

“Dallas needed some defensemen. It was great chance for Taylor to play every night and it was an opportunity to free up a spot for one of our younger players,” Sexton said.

The Amerks now have nine defensemen on the roster. Ten wasn’t too many.

“You can never have too many defensemen,” Sexton said.

The Sabres received a conditional seventh-round pick in 2020 for Fedun, who was assigned to Dallas’ AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars.

Fedun knows what’s going on in Rochester right now is special. I can understand him not wanting to leave.

[Andrew Amerk]

7th rounder? Good. We get to pick up another Olaffson.

He also has been here for three years.  Probably started to plant some roots for his family.

Fedun scored for the Stars tonight. Haven’t seen any production from Condition Seventh Round-Pick yet. Botterill is in over his head.

Obviously Jbot didn’t ask enough.  Should have been a conditional 6th.

[Tondas]

Good for Fedun and good for the Sabres and JBOT.  JBOT did Fedun a favor.  He's playing in the NHL where he would not be if he wasn't traded.  Word gets around the league when players are treated well by management.    This move furthers Buffalo's attempt to make Buffalo a destination for other players in the future.  Hockey Heaven anyone.

[Cheektorado]

Only 24 more games to go and Sabres get that sweet 7th rounder!

[Eleven]

I'll note that this converted to a 7th round pick a couple of hours ago.  MAJOR TRADE.

EDIT:  Sure, you're laughing, but just wait until the next Lundquist or Zetterberg is a Sabre!
