Yeah, that's the point of the third party retention. I know how it works but I still looked at the post for a while before I realized what was going on. Quote

We got a '25 4th for full price Bush Anaheim gets a 3rd for a 50% off Bush. Yup, cause our GM is an idiot. Ducks had a body for 2/3 of the year and upgraded for the draft so well done by them. Leafs were in the Hanifin and Tanev rumours so if this is their plan B good luck with all that Toronto. Quote

I frankly don't have an issue with the outcome. We had no need for Bush with the acquisition of Clifton + E. Johnson and got a 4th in 2025 To get a 3rd in 2025 the Ducks required deadline pricing, and 50% retention. Quote

We all saw Boosh play here last year. He was not effective. He has like 4 points and is -13 in Anaheim. The only reason Leafs gave a 3rd is because they are desperate, are praying he returns to form of years ago playing with Reilly and they had the Ducks retain 50% because they have no space. Marner had to play D for half the game last night. This is just a warm body to put in the lineup. Quote
WhenWillItEnd66 Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 Supposedly Buffalo tried to get Tanev and he would not waive to come to Buffalo. Was reported on WGR this morning. Also another team offered a 1st for Tanev....could not confirm it was Buffalo. A hockey trade is the only way we are going to get someone, and they cannot have a NTC. LOL We are going to be on EVERYONES No trade list!! 2 Quote

#freejame Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 11 hours ago, PerreaultForever said: This makes sense. There is a reality that we will never get a veteran who still wants to chase a cup. We can only woo guys who are young enough that they can be convinced this team can build to that, or old guys who have already won one or more and just want a payday. Or I guess guys who don't care about winning but I'd think we don't want them anyway. Or at least we shouldn't want them. Yeah it’s a bit of a catch-22. If Tanev was willing to come here over a contender, he’d lose a large part of what we need in players which is that burning desire to win a cup. Maybe Dallas wins one this Spring and he signs in the off-season. 1 Quote

You need to get players who are too young or not good enough to not have a NM list. I would bet everyone who had a NM list has the Sabres on it. 2 Quote

Flashsabre Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 If you were Tanev would you waive to finish the season on a non playoff team or waive for a playoff favourite? Quote

Which leads to even more frustration as we are going to have to wait a bare freaking minimum of 4 months for anything!! The off-season needs moves!

They just need to remember: This team, as built, is not a playoff contending team. 2 full seasons has demonstrated that. Even with an improvement in goaltending and defense, they are still not a playoff team. Most of our prospects are built the same way as the current forwards on the team, so no help coming that way. You have to give to get. Not to mention that there will not be room for all the current and upcoming prospects on the team anyways, so some needs to be utilized to acquire what this team really needs. (We all know what that is by now) Seems pretty black and white to me. Make the moves and make the team better. I would rather give up a favorite player to become a contender then another 13 years of this disgusting losing crap. 2 Quote

Why were they going after a 34 year old defenseman? That is a playoff team move. We're they going to extend him too?. This franchise is a joke 1 1 Quote

It is to you and I but people like my dad and brother aren’t anywhere near as deep of fans. They just know what the headlines feed them, at best. They won’t understand trading Kulich, Levi and Cozens for Brady Tkachuk and Jakob Chychrun. 1 1 Quote
