This has to be the worst coverage of the draft ever

Only good news today  Rasmus Dahlin will sign for 6.5m hopefully  long term with the  Colorado news

[Thorner]

Friedman definitely just said the hold up is conditions on the "Picks" Buffalo is getting

At least it sounds like we'll get another pick.

Never seen a trade drag out like this that I can remember. Gotta be trying to get Sam a contract extension. 

That is my hope for getting lundell  🙂

Unless I am mistaken the rumours had said "picks in the deal" and not necessarily "back to Buffalo" but I could be wrong

[Buffalonill]

Hopefully  we flip Vatrano for picks we don't need him.

[Thorner]

Could have been throwing one the other way or something

If Florida wants to be ball busters pull out of the deal and let it collapse.

Well, I didn't address you specifically did i? So why did you think I was talking to you?

I made a suggestion... take a breath.  I guess making a suggestion is a bad thing.  My apologies.  I'll make another one, but this time just to you.

Go ***** yourself.

He'll do that tonight. He's waxing my car this afternoon.

Friedman knows frak all - He only knows Samson is going to florida probably from his agent.   But not about pieces involved or anything.

Panthers and Sabres are two organizations that are tight when it comes to letting out any info.

This is redickuless. Put me out of my misery.

Yea the way it was worded, it could just be a dumb 7th rounder moving. Hope I'm wrong 

[DarthEbriate]

This trade is the like the space chase scene in The Last Jedi. They're moving super fast... but at the same speed... in the endless expanse of space. They might as well not be moving at all.

So why hire the coach who has endlessly touted Sam's maturity and leadership skills? Does KA disagree that would be useful for his young roster next season? If so, why is there such a disconnect with Granato?

I think Granato falls into the category of just wanting to be a NHL HC.  He'll go along with the plan personnel speaking.

Players, want out of Buffalo?  Just insinuate that you don't want to be here, and Kevy will accept any deal no matter how awful to grant your your wish.

Kevyn Adams, what a rube.

I'm really interested to see an extension with Dahlin.  He's the only player on the team who'll be here next season that has the skill to get a long term contract for good money.  If he signs a bridge deal it's not encouraging.

The only asset this team is going to have post Jack is cap space and I think we haven't a clue on how to weaponize it. I still wish this organization had a fetish for people from Tampa and not the Pens.

I cannot see them spending near the cap this year.  Take it FWIW, but Hamilton said they were going no higher than 72M this year.

 

[Eleven]

NHLN:  "There might be a trade in the works," didn't even mention the teams involved.

[MISabresFan]

I read somewhere where they are working on (Florida) Sam's contract before the trade is final.

I haven't read all the quotes on this topic so apologize if someone mentioned this before.

And I was wrong when I thought the brass would not trade anyone....

Can we please stop with the movie talk. It’s a colossal waste of peoples time who are looking for updates and seeing this conversation.

Should we expect the same logic for Jack then?

Sam didn’t want to be here this spring either, but he didn’t show it on the ice and, according to his coach, in the room either.

Im with @Randall Flagg, if we are going to trade him for a deadline price, keep him until the deadline to play 1C and help develop Casey and Dylan.

A) it is the deadline price with no worries about injury or paying $3M for a half a year

B) Jack is better and signed for multiple years at a price that will be a bargain in two years. Not even close to the same thing.
