I sure hope you are right. Just a coincidence he gets his payday and goes bone dry...

Again, he scored 37 goals two years ago. It’s not like his “contract” year was atypical. In addition, the underlying numbers weren’t bad early on and he is showing some signs of life lately. He is the least of their problems.

We can't score enough goals and the guy we paid to ONLY score goals isn't scoring goals yet he's the least of our problems? I strongly disagree.

Interesting that all the contenders have little to no use for their second round picks.

I'm hoping Botterill holds out right up to deadline day to be honest Tom. I have a hunch it's Montour (unsigned RFA) or Risto. In either case, an offensive minded RHD with either team control or some term is going to be 1st rd pick and 2/3 center with some term worthy.

Just a hunch is all. But I'm definitely looking at Tampa.

Honestly, he went bone dry before this season.  Go look at how he finished off the last 25 games or so of last season.  Fact is he is streaky.  When it’s, dry it’s a desert, when it rains, it pours.

Well, you can fret about it if you like, but there is nothing to be done about it right now except hope that he starts scoring soon.

Old enough to remember when the Sabres used to trade those away themselves.

Probably significantly in the minority here, but not thrilled at the prospect of them trading away their 2nd best remaining LHD and pretty much their only stay at home D-man unless Bryson makes the squad or we teleport 3 years into the future when Samuelsson might be useful.

Bite the bullet (now or in the off-season, preferably sooner than later) and lose a RHD in a package for the 2C and then let Botterill do his thing rebuilding the D depth on the cheap.

It's interesting what guys like Dillon, Scandella and Greene went for when they play the same position as our most tradeable piece Risto/Montour.

Not only tells me their value is considerably higher, it also tells me it is probably more than a contender is willing to pay.

I offered Montour up for Strome in a chicago blackhawks thread on HF, got shut down.    And here I was thinking they should add ?

I would be surprised if a team traded a 22 year old 2C for Montour.

Well seem to be some mixed opinions about him.   The 22 year old 2C is slow and not so good on defense, So was surprised it got shut down lol

Yeah, I’m with Huck on this one, I’ve never been a Strome fan. 
Anyone who has ever said Reinhart is too slow to play centre should stay far, far way from Strome.
Might regret it, but I’d rather have Montour.

Only thing is I can see him do well with speedy wingers like skinner and johansson, he does have some good hockey IQ and it would be a line with as much offensive zone starts as possible.

Not a fan of Strome. Keep Montour

Per LeBrun the Sabres have inquired about Vincent Trocheck.

From what's been posted that guy really doesn't seem to meld with Krueger's vision

What's the relative +/- on that being accurate?

Jason Botterill: "Hey, it says you guys have a guy with "check" in his name.  Our PR staff thinks we can spell his name right on a sweater, interested in trading him?"
