Deep breaths my man...at the end of the day its only a game!

It could also turn out great for both teams.

I don't want Lemieux and Armia both involved in this trade.

Lemieux will be nothing more then a 3rd line energy guy. To think he is gonna score like he is in juniors in the NHL is a joke. Armia is unproven and Murray has gotten to see him for 2 years now. Bogosian = Myers. Replacing stafford with Kane is a huge bonus

I LOVE IT!!! We have these pieces to trade - all of these prospects can't play going forward! This is the kind of GM'ing we've been longing for and now we are complaining about it? Good for you Tim Murray!!!

This is evander... Not Patrick.

He has scored 30 once. He is a fringe first liner. i have no issue giving that up if we are getting hall or seguin.

in essence it's like giving up 2 firsts and 2 seconds for kane

Look at big Picture. Kane with McEichel = 30+ goal guy.

Ask Crosby If he wants Kane on his wing?


We dont know full details yet.

man you guys are insane.

bogosian and myers are a wash. eerily similar players. Kane is right now what you hope Armia becomes.

IF this deal is whats true, you're trading stafford, lemieux and a first round pick that will be probably 25-30 to swap Armia for Kane? I'll take that any day of the week.

not sure why sabres fans hate this deal.........i actually think you're kind of ripping the jets off.

you're getting the two best players in the deal........you're giving up an underachieving d-man, a UFA bottom six player, 2 decent prospects, and a late 1st (assuming no other assets are included).

you're getting two excellent players, both with term left and good cap hits, both under the age of 25, and both instantly become two of the best players on your roster.

you didn't have to give up any of your really good "can't miss" young guys........girgs, reinhardt, risto, zadorov

and the best part is that because kane doen't play til next year, it actually makes you worse right now, increasing your chances of getting mceichel.

buffalo wins this deal easily IMO.

This is Buffalo. No guarantee we finish last. Edmonton will be a big challenge. If we get the third overall pick I personally feel this sets us back a bit.

I'd be okay if it was one of the two young kids. Not both.

I'm reading that the trade is Myers, Stafford, Armia, Lemieux, and a 1st for Kane and Bogosian now. I wouldn't do that. That's too much.

9 out of 10 times, rest assured Prospect X will be overrated as a trade piece by (everyone).

the only knock on Bogo is he cant stay healthy. IF he can play more than 60 games hes a great guy to have.

If Murray pulls the trigger on this deal he has guts. Kudos to him for sticking to his principles. Most GM's work in fear of making trades and are more conservative to a fault aka Darcy.. Huge statement by Murray.

Moulson would be able to do the same. Its not hard to net goals playing with the next crosby. Sharp could do the same.
