Not when. The draft is in buffalo
- gerbe75pts

Do you really think because the draft is in Buffalo next year that would keep GMTM from moving our first next year if it made sense??

That's not how it works JR...

You're not ready...

Besides Legwand gets flipped for a 2nd and he moves back into the first!

50-50 that Legwand is on the team opening a day. 0% chance he gets a 2nd if he does make it.

His point still stands, and i agree. Ennis is someone i would not move at this point.

That trade changed the precedent for no longer getting ridiculous returns in deadline trades. We completely lucked out there.

Sorry.....Freakin addition!~! lol

I still would rather keep Ennis then trade him for Nash

I think this is where this is where getting ROR is so important. I remember the night that the Bruins hit rock bottom as a franchise (I think it was '06). We hung something like 8 or 9 goals on them. It wasn't the first or second line that was doing it to them, it was the third line of young Roy and Vanek that was decimating them. Drury and Briere handled the big boy duties and the kids got to grow. ROR will allow our 2nd liners to be 2nd liners (Moulson) and guys like Reinhart to play against lesser players. I'm curious to see how Gus grows now that he isn't on the top line.
- Slump Buster

Yep, I have said for years, the entire team is playing one or two lines higher than their talent level....so the moves by GMTM enables the payers to be on the lines they should be.

- ieetbred

Not sure what his point is, but I definitely rather have Nash on this team than Ennis.

With the adds we have done, if they could trade Ennis, Foligno, a 2nd and a prospect for Nash. I am all in.

Buyout Hodgson
Sign Green

Kane O'Reilly Nash
Mouslon Eichel Reinhart
McGinn Larsson Gionta
Deslauriers Legwand McCormick

Ristolainen Pysyk
Green Bogosian
Gorges Weber

Lehner
Johnson

I don't get why so many people want Oshie. He isn't anything special.

I love the team up front as is. Not worth tearing it apart for Nash. All we need is to sign a top 4 D guy and add depth to the D. Watch this team be a biotch to play against and sneak into the playoffs.

Did you see the world's? Ennis is just starting to peak and we'd have him a this peak for years. Nash - while elite - has already peaked and doesn't fit the long-range plan.

Not when. The draft is in buffalo
- gerbe75pts[/quo

Bingo, plus Nash would probably never waive his NMC for Buffalo. If's fun but I wouldn't waste time on Nash proposals, it's not happening.

Anyone willing to trade Ennis must not have a good eye for talent. Ennis is going to be the Briere of this team. The way he played with no talent around him was incredible. He showed how good he can be during the worlds. Kids going into his prime on a great contract. No way i move him unless its for some guy in his mid 20's thats an elite sniper.

Ive seen Ennis play the last six years. I will take Nash over ennis, and so would anyone that isnt a sabre fan.

Our lineup will be going into the season, with Kane, who has only scored 30 goals once, and Mouslon who has only done it with Tavares as his center, the last time being 4 years ago. If an opportunity presents itself to land a 40 goal scorer, you better do it.

Yea thats it, or maybe they dont have Sabres goggles on?

A fan can still be objective. Nobody is doubting that right now Nash is better than Ennis. Given age, contract, current status of the team and playoff performance.... I'll take Ennis.

50-50 that Legwand is on the team opening a day. 0% chance he gets a 2nd if he does make it.
- Slump Buster

I think there's a much greater than 50% chance legwand is on the team. Closer to 75%. I think, depending on the year he has, he probably wouldn't get a 2nd, probably more like a third

Fans can be, but they are often not. Given contract status I want Nash, he is only on the books for 3 more years. So when comes time to resign Reinhart and Eichel, 7.8 drops off the books. While Ennis is still on for one more year.

- Mentalorgasm5

not at all a sabres homer when it comes to players. being short sighted is never a good thing when building a team. By the time we are a legit contender to go deep into the playoffs Nash will be on a big decline seeing he is already 31. No thanks. Plus when we have to resign him we will be dealing with kane, eichel, reinhart, risto. Again ill pass.

I don't necessarily disagree. However, we aren't cup contenders in that time.

Good God........I wouldn't trade Ennis straight up for Nash, let alone give up Foligno and a 2nd

I'm not suggesting that Rich Nash isn't or wasn't a nice strong point producing player.

I would MUCH rather have Ennis at 28 yrs Old PrimeTime than Rich Nash at 33yrs old when we really make a run in two years, shoot maybe we pick him up at Trade Deadline day after we've won the Presidents Trophy and we throw NY a 2nd rounder and say F*&ck You NY we're the Buffalo Sabres and we're going for the CUP!!!

Did you hear Murray's comments? He made it pretty clear he didn't want him.
