Not a chance Buffalo would do that.

Anderson has been our best goalie, personally I think a lot better than upl and comrie. We are in a race at the moment, there's no way he's getting traded unless he asks out.

i was only hopin he would come back to Ottawa and finish his career here

I get your thinking on the Sabres trade
But Anderson has been pretty great for us this season
I don’t see any way we’d move him

Maybe next year….?

This is a confusing AGM, if I'm honest.

First, what has Fabbro done to warrant such an obscene amount in return? Are his 7 points in his 3rd pairing minutes this year seriously that appealing? Even last year he was merely decent while playing something like 2nd pairing minutes.

Second, I'm quite confident that a guy like Holden won't return more than a 5th, and even that may be pushing it. There are a lot of other similar Dmen available and not enough team buying to drive the price up.

Third, I see next-to-no reason that St Louis would agree to such a deal. Buchnevich is having a more productive campaign than Debrincat and costs/will cost notably less for the next 3 years- years in which St Louis will be retooling. Debrincat most likely has more value than Buch, but I see no reason for them to be interested in such a deal.

Lastly and most egregiously, in what world does retaining cap on a contract return Schneider? Are you unfamiliar with Schneider and how much New York values him? Or are you not aware of the typical going rate for deadline rental cap retention?

i am aware of the nyr deal..but unless they can get a 3rd team to retain up to 50percent they will have to cough up a major asset ..which other eastern team will offer that? and only the lower tier western team might be ok with 4th or 5th round pick...but if i was ottawa i would take full advantage of cap space they have get what u can

but no one to my knowledge has ever gotten a player back for being a third party team for retention(best is prob. a 3rd)....also schneider is way too talented to be given up just for retention....

Buffalo and New York don't do that.

Ranger trade is delusional.

the kane retention is something like 200k in actual money. Its something like a 4th round pick and Vancouver is already doing it, likely as part of the Kravtsov deal.

Schneider if we decided to move him would fetch at least a high first. He's a legit NHL defenseman. with top 4 upside at 22. Last I checked romanov just went for more than that and schneider has more upside.
