Not that it has to be ROR, but i agree, in next few years the trades will come. I just think of Puke Adam and try and remind myself even a few solid nhl games wont guarantee a prospect is a star.

It's not like I'm going to get to do much while I'm there. I'll probably have to fly in early one day, go straight to the office and work til 5, then have the evening to myself. Work the next day and then get on a flight to come home that night. Then doing all the expense reports and stuff is a huge hassle.

A bunch of those prospects are still in Jrs and will be another 2 seasons till they sniff a NHL spot.

Agreed, that's why i think Larrson and grigo could be on the trade block this summer or next. Because when they arrive it gives them a chance to step in

I like Grigo and Larrson but i feel it's a given one or both will be moved and I'm trying to talk myself into it haha

Picking out players to trade is the easy part. Throwing in a piece you don't want to trade for a legit player is a whole other, very difficult manner. I'd love to package them all up. I too think our RW prospect depth will be thinned sooner or later.

100% agree. I've accepted the Kane trade and realized it needed to be done but that other 1st would've been huge trade bait if we still had it.

Zads and Pysyk are my two i dont want to be gone

I agree, I accept it 1--% wish we still had the 1st 2 prospects and a 1st is a lot. I di d hear that Lemueix wasnt planning on signing with us

Not when you have to meet with your Senior Managers the next day as well as get on a plane to come home. Those are things I'd rather not do hungover.

Lemieux looks like he'd still be a great addition to a team's bottom 6. But I'm willing to bet we can find a guy better than him. Armia is developing very slowly. Who knows what kind of impact he'll have. I don't think we're really missing out by getting rid of those two. I like Fasching and Baptiste more than Armia anyways.

I agree with that, If his last name was smith nobody would have really batted an eye. I feel like Bailey or the other two you mentioned easily taking the place Lemuiex would have taken

So I don't post here much just usually lurk but just wanted to pass along something I was told was absolutely credible from a person in the know with the Sabres about an hour ago. Babcock coming here is a done deal. I didn't get the length of contract but it's worth $6 million/yr. Deal will be announced Monday when everyone returns from the World Championships. Thought you guys might wanna know so don't shoot the messenger!

Id be a little uneasy if we traded for Fucale as wel could have just drafted him. Subban would be interesting and I dont want Hammond.
