Looks like the Amerks were out for blood since this occurred in November

Good context. Thank you for your service!

Is the any part of your (no one in particular) imagination where you can see the Sabres involved in a line brawl?

Good on the Amerks.

The AHL only suspended Harpur for 4 games for that. That should've been 1/4 of the season.

Harpur wasn't dressed in last night's game, but the Amerks took care of business for and Sandstrom got a pretty comfortable win.

If Zucker, Benson, Kozak or Aube-Kubel, Dahlin, and Clifton were on the ice, yes. But probably only that combination. Maybe Byram.

Rosen and Kulich have tremendous chemistry. Like to see him get a shot in Buffalo with Kulich or be used as a piece in a big deal. Sabres have so many young forwards a couple need to be cashed in for major pieces.

Trade him (or package him) while he's hot for an established veteran. A slightly younger Zucker type player would have helped this team a lot this year.

Sabres fans: we rush all our prospects, wtf!?!

Also Sabres fans: this guy is 22 and hasn't made the NHL, we should trade him.

WOW some Amerks were throwing BOMBS. Good on Tullio and Komarov.

I think there are two separate camps talking.

For me, I see an undersized 22 year old that's behind Quinn and Peterka AHL level production when they were younger. If we did have a roster spot for a guy like him, he's not going to be good enough to help us make the playoffs for at least 2 or 3 more years. Trade him for a vet that can help us now.

Some of the young players need to go for established NHL talent. Dont care which players it is as long as the return helps the team win

Matt Savoie, a much higher rated prospect, fetched a guy who is trending toward the god awful Sabres 4th line.  What value does a guy whose stock is significantly lower have?

In all likelihood you'll have to package him. 

FWIW- McLeod hasn't been a complete write-off. He's above 0.5ppg. I think that's serviceable 3rd liner type production considering he's had 2 minutes total PP time.

I have no problem with McLeod, put EEE-sock Rosanne in “package” that everyone loves to theorize, is the equivalent of adding a 2nd round pick.

There are fewer than 10 NHL teams that have 3 centres producing more points than McLeod. I don’t think he is close to a write-off. He’s pretty much what you want in a 3rd line centre.

Keep in mind that the trade was made by the same guy who shipped out a 2nd round pick for a 4th line wing.

Aren't you a Sabres fan?

Aren't we all a little hypocritical at times? This franchise can confuse and confound the smartest of PhD's.

(Not really accusing anyone of this, actually, just trying to make a joke and comment on this sad franchise...)
