nfreeman Posted Friday at 08:32 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:32 PM By "major move," I mean a top-6 forward or a top-4 defenseman, or other move that even KA's staunch critics would grudgingly admit is a major move -- even if they don't like the price, or the player, or the contract, or whatever else. EDIT: as noted downthread, buying out, trading or otherwise unloading Skinner would qualify as a major move. As always, the question is not what you want to happen, it's what you think will happen. The draft ends on Saturday night. (I guess that makes it alright.) My optimism is being sorely tested, but I voted yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABRES 0311 Posted Friday at 08:40 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:40 PM No. The closest might be moving Skinner for some picks, bottom six player, or some combination. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPuckYourself Posted Friday at 08:41 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:41 PM (edited) I have 0 faith in this guy, I believe he’ll use all or most of the draft picks but fills a few 4th line positions so prove the doubters wrong.

LGR4GM Posted Friday at 08:41 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:41 PM I don't think the Sabres use pick 14 at the draft tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted Friday at 08:57 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:57 PM Yes. Kevyn will trade #14AO for a top 6 forward, possibly packaged for a 2C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_Dudley Posted Friday at 09:07 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:07 PM I voted No before the skinner waiver counts as a major move. That should be 2 minutes for missing information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it a major move when the player only plays between the faceoff circles and the goal line? He’s grossly overpaid so it’s not like he is a legit 9mil guy.

Night Train Posted Friday at 10:26 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:26 PM Someone traded Mitts. So It wont be a first. He'll try. Darcy would have sold the Clague deal like he was getting Bob Corkum all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
