Sabres have trade blocked prior to NHL roster freeze due to Greenway injury status??

[Big Guava]

I am not sure how to interpret this...seem as if they are saying there was a deal in place for Greenway but due to his injury status he is not able to be moved now?

Not sure why we would trade a player who actually is playing well when he plays.

I read this as rumor mongering. If a deal had been close, they would have sat him.

He probably hit someone, and TP got angry that he made Cozens and Power look like wimps.

The only reason I can see a trade happening for Greenway is if he told management he doesn't want to be back which really sucks but I can't blame the ones that are trying at this point.

I’m skeptical, but it would fit in with the mounting evidence of an internal cap. For the Sabres to bring in a player, money will have to go out.

Why?  Are you saying the current spend is the internal cap?  

Greenway is as good as gone….he may have played his last game as a Sabre because there is 0% chance he’ll sign a new contract to stay in Buffalo.

According to the article, Tage Thompson is in play for a trade?

If he is they better get something monumental back.  He has 92 goals the last 2 or so years (176 games).  After him, the TEAM LEADERS are Tuch (at 67) and Cozens (56).  If you don't get a big time sniper back for Tage, you aren't going to have anyone to score any goals, especially because Tuch's 67 are in large part because of being on a line with Tage.

I know some people don't like his all around game, but he's scoring at almost a 50 goal pace this year, is 2nd on the team in game winning goals over the last few years. Where are you going to get someone like that for $7m per year?

The other thing that makes me doubt this article, Pegula just said something like "no changes" to the team, why would he say that if there was a deal just about ready to be worked out?

I guess you are right. We could be selling before Christmas.
