Wtf is Vancouver thinking?!
I'd be going outta my mind if I was a Canucks fan

Guys like Duclair dropped to the 3rd round
Having all those picks gives us freedom to take risks on "high upside" guys

Yea that's what i should have said, too tired now

He wouldn't waive. Their bigger problem is the Sedins.

They kept Vrbata too though, right?

As of now, yes

2016 3rd rounder becomes 2017 2nd rounder if they win 2 rounds and he plays in 50% of the games

No worries
I was basically agreeing with ya

The worst case scenario is keeping all 4. Could find another Guhle and Borgen amongst them, but i think they'll move them.
- Sabresfan-365

If that's the worst then I'm good with it. If we do better, great. But I'll take 4 guys with 10% chance to be good.

50% cool

Well go Ducks...

still no word if they are done...

Is Ek dead? He doesn't even have the McGinn pick up yet, ESPN beat him to it FFS!

I'm kind of glad we didn't move Johnson. Would like to keep him around for next year for a relatively cheap price. Let Ullmark stay in ROC and play every night. And have a steady backup in Johnson. Just as long as Lehner doesn't miss half the season again...
- Wetbandit1

I would be ok either way. I think ullmark is ready but it can never hurt to have him stay in rocha. Hopefully the AHL deal murray made puts things into place for the rest of the season and they work themselves into the playoffs.

10% is a huge stretch for 3rd rounders.

He already did, in like October.

Missed that
Cbus went from "up & coming" to "total mess" really quick
Damn

That would be pretty cool. I just don't want Ullmark only playing 20 games next year.

Columbus went from total mess to less of a mess and back to total mess. They're always "Up and coming" and "About to take that next step". Sure they are.

Crap 3rd round picks. Yet you wanted 5ths and 6ths for our RFAs.

Having picks is great, even if they're in 2017. Let's us keep having pipeline players.

This is a pretty decent return for a not too great player.
- Zschalberg

Difference is are RFA's are trash so I'd take guys for them to be good later. 3rd round picks when you have the draft on your own city. Only 1 1st and 1 2nd... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hiring Torts alone put them back a few years

Legwand and Johnson still may end up being traded
- turbo044

It does seem like a possibility
Murray still hasn't said "we're done" as far as I know

loading up on 2017 picks is probably a smart idea. Assuming the sabres flirt with a playoff spot at next years deadline, could have three 2nd rounders to play with (plus whatever you may get for Franson or Gorges)

That's my thinking too
If we did move him, I'd have wanted to bring him back

It wouldn't surprise me if there was no real interest in Coliacovo or Franson, but I would have expected something, even something low, for CJ.

That feel like a miss by TM, but otherwise, the conditional 2d is pretty, pretty good.
