Non Sabres Deadline Trades/Rumors

[Brawndo]

From Friedman’s 31 Thoughts 

8. Anaheim continues to look for a righty, after the aborted Justin Faulk trade.

 

9. Nothing imminent as far as I can tell on Tyler Toffoli, but, he’s another potential UFA and teams know he’s an option to add.

Eric Tulsky runs that Front Office, in a Billy Beane Moneyball Style Way, and it appears to be working brilliantly

Is it actually possible we could be trading for Laine, as rumored?

I mean, actual local media sources are tying Risto situation to Laine situation now.......

[TrueBlueGED]

If Faulk moves for EHLERS!!! @New Scotland (NS) I'll be very sad.

If there is even ONE unprotected lottery pick in the deal....ugh, I can't even think about it. They must have learned the lessons of mortgaging the future from GMTM.....right?

If we need lottery protection after next season we have bigger issues.

He and Kessel were a defensive nightmare together last year.

That's not what that stat is for though

Well that's why it's so low. Malkin still had 46 ES points, they just allowed so many goals while on the ice together it wiped that out and then some

And the stat isn't for anything, it's just a time-on-ice adjusted plus minus compared to your team's plus minus

I meant it's not singularly a defensive stat

Yeah that's just why Malkin's specifically is so low.

As it is right now, there is no way the Sabes are not picking top 10 for 1 more year

Allow me to be the first to say: trade the pick!

Faulk goes to the St.Louis Blues

[steveoath]

That came out of left field!

[shrader]

And he gets a 7 year extension.

[Scottysabres]

That's a very decent RHD depth they have.

There is no possible way that this is even close to being a thing.  None.
