umm hecht was a top player for many years ill take hecht during his prime
- hubie

His best season in his illustrious career was 56 points. Far from being a top player. And I was making a joke.

There better be a first round pick coming our way. Pominville for 2 AHL players....Go Amerks.

Larsson sounds like a 20 year old Hecht

How quick people forget how good hecht was over a 4/5years period.

he's a center, dont worry

any word on stafford?

any word on stafford?
- FIREonICE

dont think he is going anywhere now

Yeah... like Calgary got for Iginla
- keptupl8

No Darcy should have gotten at least 12 picks and prospects for Pominville who has proved more than Iginla!

I'm not, was JK. I still hope we got a pick out of the deal, but like I said a few posts ago, it wasn't really necessary for the Sabres to sell off everything TODAY. Plenty can still be done. Only the buyers and teams with immediately expiring contracts need to panic on deadline day.

How the F#ck is Minny gonna keep Pommer's salary on their team?? they are already like 2M over the cap?
- JVince11

Potentially $12 million coming off books after this season. Heatley likely will be bought out as well. That's another $7 mill.

you do know he was a high end player for many years right?

according to Wild website Larsson is a LW?
- billyk

Johan Larsson is less offensively gifted than Coyle, Granlund, and Zack Phillips, but he plays a smart and tenacious style along the boards. He can agitate, win faceoffs, and contribute on special teams. His professional experience is already evident as the AHL season gets into gear. While Larsson will not shock people with moves, his passing is perhaps underrated. The AHL is the perfect league for him to be in at this stage of his career.

Enough to know that when you trade your Captain and a proven scorer you get something proven back, just Darcy doesn't agree.

thank you

Hodgson, Grigs and Larsson up the middle for the next decade isn't terrible
- eruppt45

What happens to girgs? Isn't Larsson the same player just closer to NHL ready?

- robz228

Yeah... like Calgary got for Iginla
- keptupl8

2 different things, Iginla had to be traded Pominville didn't have to. They took the what they wanted as i'm sure our sorry ass GM did the same thing. That deal doesn't help this team at all.

dont think he is going anywhere now

Now your calling me stupid? because it's me you replied to. Grow up.
- SABRES 89

Was talking about some people on here in general, not you.

I guess I shouldn't use the word stupid, it's just that people on here are over-critical and assumptive.

Like you calling Larsson a bum and lazy just because you read part of his hockey profile. You know nothing about the kid and have have either barely seen him play or never seen him play.

I love how people make these grand conclusions based on a couple of sentences from a review. Amazing.

it appears you dont understand what a rebuild is
- robz228

That deal puts you farther back, it doesn't help you with a rebuild.

Who's leg do you have to hump to find out if we got a draft pick or not?

no draft picks in return?

That deal puts you farther back, it doesn't help you with a rebuild.
