For his day with the Stanley Cup, Evan Rodriguez will let the cup drink from his mouth. “I figure all these years it has been on the other end. My mouth is so large, I thought I would return the favor.” Then he dove back down under the water and hasn’t been after the banjo minnow I originally caught him with.

Ottawa traded a first round pick.

Good luck being doomed forever.

The team that has finished behind the Sabres each of the past 3 seasons continues to trade first round picks for players on expiring contracts.

Solid.

Kevyn - we are all demoralized. Please announce the 5-year Girgenstension to lift our spirits

NJ signed DeSimone, so they're clear to trade Marino now.

That Ullmark trade is hideous. I can't believe he knabbed a 1st. Woof. This is how bad teams stay bad.

IF they do, at least the building I work in has roof access.

Seems to be both teams have had the same amount of success…..

You can’t believe one of the better, cup winning goalies got a first round pick?

I think we get a better pick with Okposo winning the cup

2019: ROR, Chris Butler, Jordan Nolan, Chris Thornburn, Chad Johnson, and Steve Ott as coach.

2020: Bogosian

2022: JT Compher, Jonas Johansson

2023: Jack Eichel, Brayden McNabb, Will Carrier

https://x.com/Tomato_guy1...tatus/1805452214875361563

adding to the list:

2024: Montour, Reinhart, Rodrigues, Kulikov, Okposo, Asplund

Someone build the roster that Buffalo traded away to win Stanley cups and I bet it's better than the current Sabres roster.

Basically 3/4 of a Hockey Team

I'm shocked tbh. Trading 1st round picks for goalies is rarely a good idea. After an average season from Ullmark, adding two players on top of the pick, and remembering he's a 1 year rental potentially...yeah, bad trade.

Ottawa immediately got better with that trade

Last two teams to win have built their rosters primarily through trade and free agency

Without bobrovsky its probably Edmonton in 5

Screwed up and had a brain fart, Joker was supposed
to be included in that Dallas trade and a 3rd coming back to Buffalo.

What about trading your best trade trip in say a guy like Reinhart for a Goalie that hasn’t proven anything?

Is that any different because that trade has glowing reviews.

Just because they got better doesn't mean it was a good trade. I'm not discounting the impact of good goaltending, but Florida just won game 7 without him. The issue with the trade is the high price they paid, there's no question Ullmark is a decent goalie. He just simply wasn't worth that much. Swap that 1st for a 2nd and you're fine. Giving up such a high pick for a 1 year rental is ludicrous. I expect an extension to come shortly...wonder what that number will be...won't be $5m, that's for sure.

My Sabres farm team Stanley Cup Team is almost complete! Can anyone give me a left winger??

Must have played for the Sabres prior to winning a cup.
