Thread: this is a possible trade that could happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>Wait, so a Pitt beat writer thinks it’s fair, so it’s fair. That’s from a Pitt website, of course it’s gonna be tilted in Pitts favor.</div></div>

That article showed up on my feed like an hour ago. I thought he meant one of those pieces. Doesnt matter, montour makes sense, he is 100% a guy that teams should try to steal from us. He would have made sense in housleys system, now he plays a system that doesnt fit his game, and he plays his off hand because we only have 2 lhd. In the right puck carrying system, he will look good, and we will look silly, again. Also, the media has absolutely nothin on some of the posters on here. I saw one from a rangers writer that suggested they go get eichel, and send us a package with ryan strome as the centerpiece.

Thread: the most intelligent armchair gm on the website
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny54</b></div><div>Exactly what dumb dumb Botterill took back in the ROR trade two stumble bums . Funny this should come up as I was looking into what Eichel is worth and what team has the right pieces. I've looked at teams with good prospects and vets that would help the Sabres. Thought about NY but it would have to start with Zibanejad and I don't know if they would do that</div></div>

I only mention it because a budget neutral trade would open the market up to more teams, which would drive the price up. If you can only trade a guy to a few select teams, it potentially is bad for us. It doesnt have to be the steaming pile of sobotka that we got back, it could be marginally useful players too, the idea being that a team at the cap just cant trade futures for a 10 million dollar player, at least without making other trades, which isnt a great scenario im sure.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nhn1405</b></div><div>he won't be traded unless he wants to be. its impossible to guess what he's worth either way though</div></div>

This i agree with. Its the littany of posts where 5 painless/marginally worthless pieces get moved for eichel that has gotten pretty old, followed by the declaration that you cant win this type of trade, and concluded with the "youre gonna be reeeeeealy disappointed when you see what he gets traded for". Hes 23, a franchise center, signed for several years. Unless gms are willing to engage in collusion against the sabres, and artificially keep the market bad, i cant see it. Owners and gms, that mind you, bring us the annual july 1st of stupidity, when 30 year old ufas get 7 years and a power ball jackpot contract. Itll be a game of chicken, who wants to add on one more piece with value, with the idea that buffalo will probably have to take back 10 million in cap one way or another.

Thread: Danault trade with extension
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsFuture</b></div><div>Whats Mittelstadt projected to be? 2nd-3rd line C? And is he more offensively gifted or more defensively gifted?</div></div>

This is a fan message board, so im not giving away state secrets or anything. He is just offense. And the question is just how much offense. He got rushed- which was 100% the gms/owners fault, because ror got traded for 2 cap dumps and a case of crabs. Then he didnt exactly get nhl quality linemates to boot. Last year he got sent to the ahl to try to learn the center position and he was a minus player on a team with all plus players. Im not paying to watch ahl games, but i checked regularly to see if he was catching on, and although he did start to get better, i think theres some pretty reasonable questions about his future as a center. Thats my two cents anyways. Has good hands, looked slower than i expected, needs to put on some muscle too.
