Then that is fine but when people mention giving up Ennis, Gringo, Comphre and picks, that's just crazy.

It wasn't alot to give up for Kane, we didn't lose on the deal.
- SABRES 89


Stafford, a first, a former first, and a former second, for Kane

Ennis, a first, a former first, and a former second, and a conditional 2nd for Kessel

Kessel>>>Kane

Gotta pay up to get him

Ennis is an upgrade over Stafford and an extra pick

You know that it's a good deal when both sides are a little unhappy.

We have generated 50 pages in 2 days, and everyone has basically acknowledged there is a chance the deal improves the chance the Sabres win a cup. That's enough for me to be satisfied with it.

(Plus Yost liked it.).

Some act like we gave them Myers, Staff, Armia and Lemuiex for just Kane. We made out good in the deal and if it's true about Lemuiex ( some writers say it is ) we didn't lose him for nothing. Armia was not in Murrays plans.

People need to let it go, Myers is gone and the Sabres got what they were looking for.

Too many always look for a negative in anything . Never enjoy a positive. They must be a joy to hang with .

I agree with this.

By the numbers from the past 4 seasons , Bogo has more points for an allegedly more offensively talented Myers.
The big bonus with Bogo is he is much better defensively and much tougher to play against.

If that were the trade straight up, Bogo for Myers, I "believe" that would have been a win for Murray.

- BuffaloHardHat

This isn't true but whatever.

Bogosian is a top 5 pick who hasn't lived up to expectations. His best offensive season came at a young age, and had been criticized by the local media for a few years now....sound familiar?

He was on a playoff team and mustered 13 points.
Myers was on a bottom feeder and had 13 points.

Kessel has more speed, better hands, and a better goal scorer.

I had someone talking to me when they asked McKenzie on GR about the Lemieux stuff, do you or anyone else know what he said? They asked if the rumors were true about not signing I believe.

I have watched both of Staffords post trade videos and the Winnipeg press keeps trying to goad him into talking trash about buffalo, but he flips it around. You can tell he enjoyed his time with the sabres.

So all of this was ok for Myers, but it's not ok for Bogosian?

Tim Chassion who writes on this site and another blogger mentioned he wouldn't sign here. It was also mentioned after we did the trade about an hour after I would say

According to goaliepost.com, which I find to be highly reliable. I use it for fantasy purposes and very rarely have I ever noticed it to be wrong.
