I think it was the vegas pick

Yup - ESPN just restated that, too. Greenway becomes the final piece of the Eichel trade.

The Sabres brass (KA) might finally be realizing that this is the softest team in the league. Stillman and Greenway are not super skilled, but they are not soft.

I hope he doesn’t stink, because it kinda looks like he has stunk this season.

Which is what it looks like when you shop in the scratch and dent aisle at the deadline. Low prices, visible flaws. Maybe they buff out, maybe they don't. This one is worth the dice roll because he's different from the other stuff they have. Fills a big need.blockquote widget

Sorry Liger, didn't mean to hit you on that.

And he's under contract for 2 more years. Asplund can't be happy.

I think this likely means Okposo isn’t coming back as a player.

Honestly, Asplund should be traded in the next little bit here. No reason to keep him now unfortunately.

There is none currently being reported.

Nor should he.

No retention because MIN has $14M in buyout penalties next year and the year after for Parise/Suter.

Asplund has done nothing for me this year in his limited time on the ice.  I know you, and others, were high on him.  I used to think more highly but this year changed my mind. 

[triumph_communes]

The Boston game made it really clear how we missed Tuchs forecheck. If he can hold a candle to that on a lower line it should help this team.  Asplund and Peterka have been nothing special, you only get the minutes to grow if you have growth potential and they both don’t seem to have it. 
 

Still massive gaping hole on defense though.

True. But Asplund sucks.

At least Adams did something.  We’ll what this guy can do

It's not a bad trade at all.

Would agree.

And expect Greenway takes Peterka's slot for now and if Okposo isn't back next year (keep slowly coming around to expecting him not back) then he steps into that role right off.  Anybody know if he played with Jost when they were both in Minnesota?

[Scottysabres]

Adam's can't be done, goaltending and D......

I give the goalie a solid 10 for that dive… wow

[JoeSchmoe]

I get that he's big and plays a defense first game, but 2G and 5A all year appears to be WELL below the Mendoza Line of being a legit NHL forward.

It looks like Adams is banking on this being a down year for him because his past years look quite respectable for a 3/4 line role. Let's hope he guessed right.
