"I had some deals worked out and then they just fell apart"

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

By saying that you probably just made it harder on yourself. Again.

The last few pages are going to be a hilarious back read in a few days

You better be right despite no evidence whatsoever that you will be

They literally just made a trade.

Either they're acquiring more picks in order to move them, or they're acquiring more picks to deepen the prospect pool because they're going to deal some of their kids.

A pair of 2nd round draft picks has almost 0 draft value for this front office, lets see what a package of 2nd rounders fetch.....

Careful not to admit which side the deals fell apart from our great gm quickly trades back in the 1st round to gain a lottery ticket

Is this dominos or just more of the same

Can't say I'm super pleased with moving back there. Pretty large drop off after 9, you'd hope one or two slip. By 14, not hattttttinin.

The move down trade was with sharks instead of Chicago.

They will now use 14 and 42/43 to trade out.

Omg lol

Sorry, which one of Markstrom, Ullmark, or mikheyev am I supposed to be ovulating over ?

All of the big players are still available.

They do make very nice trade chips. If he makes the picks, riot.

Hes never once proven the ability to get what hes after using pieces that won't be ready by the time he's a janitor again

I believe you...but I'm still freaking out a bit.

That excuse was overplayed last year already

Its not over yet but him sniveling on the radio about deals he couldn't close is more in line with history

Do you know how many really good forwards also suck in their own end the ice.

This is a non-issue.
- Sabretooth9

Ok, good
Then why:
- pay a 1st, Prospect to acquire his rights,
-then pay him (Lets say based on it being Evolving Hockey) 8x$8.8m
-Add in Jeff's BO so combined they pay between $1.5m to $6.5m (depending on the year) more each year for the next 6 years
- likely get the same or less production
-acquire a "Non-Lindy Guy" who by the same standards is unfixable
-acquire a guy who demanded out from a SC contender

But he skates faster and is more fun to watch, which only serves to produces negative WAR, GAR, SPAR values.

There is no justification other than "I hate Skinner". (Kinda like voting against Trump only to have 4 years of dead man walking crap).

But we know you value speed.

Well, at least you'll be happy then

Getting a second rounder to move back 3 picks is incredible value if we are being objective and rational which are the last two things 95% of this fan base exhibits

Well, at least you'll be happy then
- Powerslave

Ill happy when the sabres make the playoffs again doesn't matter how

No evidence points to this administration being able to get it done

Go get Ehlers and McGroarty

The effects of drinking out of the detergent cup are showing:

They can use that second in a lot of interesting ways...:

Move the 2 2nds to someone to take on Skinner
Trade the 1st with prospect/player to get a good player (Ehlers)
Take 42 and 43 to move back into the 1st round

Lot's of possibilities

Spending assets to move skinner without receiving a return seems like a silly waste of resources

These are outgoing assets.

We don’t know that yet.

I sure as poop hope they are.

Not having to eat Skinner's salary in a buyout for 6 years is a good return (as long as they have plan to use that extra salary space)

Go get Ehlers and McGroarty
- Buff36
