Going all in as a fan I’d love to see it hopefully the Sabres get there one day

Yeah, I can't wait till we get to the point of dealing two 2nd rounders and a top-4 D for Nick F'ing Deslauriers and Hudson F'ing Fasching. That would mean we've really arrived.

Atleast Schenn gets to be in a new city for the baby to get here.

So Schenn for a 3rd and we get Stillman for Bloom. Why?

We added the same type of player and people got mad

Schenn is actually a serviceable bottom 6 defenseman though.

Bloom was also a 3rd, almost a 4th. But Schenn has the more familiar name, so it feels worse than it is. Neither moves are that good, nor do they hurt either team that much.

But that's no fun on the internet.

We need room for future picks that are incoming.

Did anyone do that today?

Or are we still referencing Tim Murray being a bad gm which will forever and always mean the Sabres trade will always be bad.


P.S. Jason Botterill traded away more picks than Tim Murray, but I digress.

Toronto's entire offense is expected to be a UFA at the end of their contracts. Matthews and Nylander in 2024, Marner and Tavares in 2025, Bunting, ROR, Jankrok, Kerfoot, Acciari all this offseason. No RFAs so they will have some serious negotiating to do.

They really need to go for it now and next year because unless they take some discounts it will be hard to pay for everyone. Tavares dropping off will help but Matthews is going to get 13+ and Nylander 9+ in the open market.

We are still shocked that more folks are not in the "be careful what you wish for" camp when it comes to this team and where we are right now regarding trading for players. Personally, I am happy watching this team as-is for the rest of the year, come what may. If we fill some more needs with smart (or at least middling-level) moves, great but I am trying to offset some of the sky-is-falling-cuz-team x-got-so-and-so moaning that goes on here.

Stillman and Schenn had identical xGF% this year.

Both pretty ugly

Plus/Minus not the best stat but Schenn is a +9 and Bryson is a -21.

Who you want playing in that 6th spot?

Botts only traded away 1 first, 2 seconds. Murray traded away 2 1sts and 4 seconds (not counting a 2nd swap). He was bad at trading.

Not huge on Korpisalo, but he seems to play really well against us. If he can play 2 games a week, it's an upgrade over Andy imo.

Sounds like Chychrun could fall to us if that is something Adams is working on. No one seems to be trading for him right now and his price could come down.

1st, 2nd, Rosen

Pull the trigger.

Throw in Bryson as the sweetener.

Ekholm will be going to EDM...not fully sure of return, but multiple pieces/picks.

Stillman = Corkum, but not as good a player or trade? Just wondering from all the advanced stats that people have posted about him.

Why doesn't anyone want to pay for Chychrun? Price on Meier, Orlov, Jeannot, Tarasenko and even Sandin and McCabe is high and not much more than what the ask for Chychrun is.

The #Preds have acquired forward Austin Rueschhoff from the New York Rangers in exchange for future considerations.
