Sabres Trade Taylor Hall (50% of His Salary Retained)and Curtis Lazar to Boston for a 2021 2nd and Anders Bjork

[LGR4GM]

"Ultimately it is in the players control of where they want to go." Adams on the Hall trade. 

So basically Hall called the shots and our rookie GM went for a ride. Well that's nice.

Someone, anyone with a set of balls in the Buffalo sports market care to ask Adams, "what about the Buffalo fan base, have THEY NOT earned the right to expect AND receive the best for them?

Terry Pegula and Ralph Krueger. 

and with the latter fired suddenly he was no longer above criticism or being forced the puck due to his adherence to Krueger's doctrine.

 

He chose to just screw us as hard as he could on the way out

Adams really thinks Bjork will have more offensive impact than Lazar.

H/t to @Eleven... if the cost of announcing to the rest of the league we won't be hosed and to FAs that you won't play the Buffalo Sabres was a second-round pick and the corpse of Robert Bork, that's not too high a price to pay.

He repeated doing what was best for Hall again.

I'm gonna puke. Is it possible we have a worse GM than Botts?

Guys, hear me out on this: What if the Bruins called about Lazar and didn't even want Hall?

holy ***** I think this is actually what happened

[sabremike]

GM PSE Crony just called a guy who he publicly stated pretty much emasculated him in the worst way possible "professional".

[Claude Balls]

I've actually lost my love for hockey. Even watching a ***** team. I can't do it anymore. Thanks Terry. Ashhole.

Hall told the General Manager where he wanted to play. 

[Claude Balls]

I will never spend a dollar on this team as long as TP owns it. Never!!! What a joke!!!

What contractual right is Adams referring to?

Fair enough.  

I love it when the inmates run the asylum.  I'm in full agreement with Lawton.  He should have told Hall to give him more options so that he needed to do what's best for the franchise.  If Hall wouldn't then let him play out the year on the 4th line or sit in the pressbox.

Adams gave Hall a no movement clause and Hall absolutely used it

I think he spent the money, too

Adams did quite well to get a 2nd for Hall. And quite poorly by getting Hall.

It would be interesting what that signing actually cost us.

Would we be sitting here with Tyler Toffoli, for example? Would we have signed another goalie? Would Ralph still be here?

Toffoli would have been a better add. 

[Stoner]

Well, sure, he couldn't be traded to Ottawa. There's no right that Hall could use to get traded to Boston.
