PerreaultForever Posted July 19, 2021 Report Posted July 19, 2021 5 hours ago, The Jokeman said: We can still trade for one yet by protecting Ullmark he's showing the team does want him back. That said I'd talk to Seattle about taking Ben Bishop and offering them one of our three 2nd rounders for him. Empty gesture which means absolutely nothing. They already talked contract end of the season, they tried to sign him then, he decided to test free agency. Protecting him here isn't going to warm his heart and convince him to stay. If you wanted that ben Bishop trade you do that before this protection list, you make the deal and you protect him. Personally I'm not up on Bishop's status. Doesn't he have injury issues? Regardless, a draft picks for a goalie deal should have come before, not after, the expansion lists. We had an open spot. It's a fail. Quote

You have a young team? Use that youthful endurance to your advantage and always be pressuring your opponent. How is Bjork a player that is always attacking any more than anyone else was under Granato? And what does that mean? Not playing defense at all? He certainly wasn't an "always attacking" player in Beantown. Quote

Well this NHL mock draft has them taking Tokarski from us so that's almost nothing. https://www.nhl.com/news/mock-2021-expansion-draft-seattle-kraken/c-325685052?tid=289242400 Quote

Before he got injured I thought he was having a very strong year. Any update on his injury and contract. Would hate to lose him to the Sea Monsters! Quote

Thanks, but we protected Ullie, so he doesn't count, right? Our pickins are pretty thin, so maybe Seattle will take Sutton as a big thank you, but ***** you Sabres? Edited July 19, 2021 by New Scotland (NS) my typing will never be goodly enough ... Quote
steveoath Posted July 19, 2021 Report Posted July 19, 2021 Yeah Ullmark is protected. It'll be an interesting couple of days until the Kraken put us out of our misery. I wonder if any deals will get leaked beforehand. 1 Quote

And what does that mean? Not playing defense at all? He certainly wasn't an "always attacking" player in Beantown. Just watch him. He aggressively forechecks on almost every shift. Causes turnovers that lead to chances. That is what I expect the Sabres to be next year. And what he was in Boston doesn't really matter here because Donnie is retooling players skill sets.

LGR4GM Posted July 19, 2021 Report Posted July 19, 2021 I might have exposed Thompson in the expansion draft, maybe Botterill wants his "top prospect" back. Skinner waiving made that moot. Quote
