Really???
Or, he can have another concussion and retire early?!
HE IS NOT WORTH AN 21ST OVERALL?
DO YOU FREAKING UNDERSTAND????

Edmontons chiarelli was on record saying goalie market is a buyers market. Only a couple teams need one and there were a good amount available. No reason we needed to trade a 1st

I'd be salty if I were him too.

Could you imagine if Bills fans took the same approach about Richard Jauron? "He's the coach. We're not." It doesn't take an expert in a field to see that some moves are mistakes.

Is it really far fetched to think that this is a favour to his uncle?

Somebody needs to clarify this trade for me because I can't process it. I'm a huge Murray fan but WTF!!!!! Lehner is around the 5th goalie that I would have wanted, with concussion issues as of March. Murray said that we was looking to pick up a mid-20s top 6 winger, and we get a washed up 35 year old, at 3.5 mill. I just don't get it, it makes ZERO sense!!!!!

- bobmack13

For a 1st round pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha, you're old
- Buffalo--Sabres

Was gonna go Matlock but I have a thing for elderly English women.

Look, I'm not telling you guys that I love the trade. I don't. But it's done and I'm going to remain optimistic about it. It's your choice to love it or hate it or cry about it. But I'm not, because what happened, happened. You're not going to convince me to cry about it either.

So I'd suggest to remain optimistic.

I'm with a taco.

Still many more moves to be had . Games don't start till October.

Not really.

They're in Florida.....
- bjm1717

The Sabres are based in NY, and it wasn't my joke so I wasn't going to change it.

It's still funny.

I'd be salty if I were him too.

This is starting to lend credibility to Hard Hat's hate of Murray. All he has done is field a poop team, have 1st overall picks fall in his lap and make poopty trades.

That thought crossed my mind.

Sab Taco - I'm with you for now, I think TM has things in place now for the day. Let's sit back and see where things land the next 24-48 hrs.

Thank you all!!!!

Not really.
- buffalofan19

I'd actually be more ok with it if he said he was doing his cancer ridden uncle a favour vs him saying he did this because he thought it was a good deal

Or we could use caps lock a lot and suggest the GM steps down.

Logical stuff.

Two sources outside #Sabres tell me they're trying for a lot more on the trade front. No real surprise there. Has to include ROR.
- jt1626

So what are we trading for ROR. Reinhart the 2nd overall and risto?

Your caps lock is broken. Keep crying about it, see how far it gets you.

What's done is done, now we wait to see if it's worth it.

"Hey, maybe it will all work out and we will think it was actually good in hindsight"

- same argument could be made for any UFA goalie you could get for free

Robin Lehner.

i can honestly see him moving reinhart for O'Reilly now

Is it really far fetched to think that this is a favour to his uncle?

Yes

I thought the suffering was over? Wtf?

You're right. Sometimes the public can easily see things. Sometimes they can't. And is this case, I'm willing to bet they can't.

- Sabresfan-365

Dam I can see him doing anything at this point, he's may be nutty as a fruit cake.

- Irish 14

Right.
We understand.
But, does he have to start wasting 1st round picks for at best average goalie?
To me, 1st round picks don't grow on trees, to be easily given away for BS players.

He'll care if this is his signiture trade and it doesn't pan out. He talked about how this was his "Defining Draft" and then did that.

He overpaid, plain and simple.

I just hope now he can't overpay Colorado too
- Zschalberg

No one can say anyone overpaid until the next goalie domino falls.

Maybe this is the guy he wanted.

And to even suggest that this is his signature trade is ludicrous
