Vesey's checklist:

NHL Roster - advantage Buffalo
Prospect Pool - advantage Toronto
Coach - advantage Toronto
City - (huge) advantage Toronto

And this article fails to mention that, in addition to his father, his brother is also in the Leafs system

This is gonna sting, Buffalo. It's Babcock all over again...
- AxlRose91

I am assuming this came directly from his Dad? No... His agent?

That amazing coach Babcock that you guys got instead of us still coached you to the worst record in all of Hockey last year.

That amazing city... hasn't been able to pull a top notch UFA in YEARS. All have come through trade.

That amazing prospect pool is highly overrated. Sosh, Hyman, Brown, Gracco, Kapenen, etc... they have comparable stats in the AHL to guys Buffalo has who we consider average here. Get off your high horse. You have Marner, Nylander, and Matthews. Eichel, Reinhart, Risto, Vesey (hopefully), and our draft pick this year is just as good if not better.

you forgot one thing though

The over the top critical media that drives players away - MAJOR Advantage Toronto.

Ok we're good

- Buffalo--Sabres

the only thing we need to worry about winning is the playoffs..

we have "supposedly" won the off season
we have won the regular season..

i want to win the playoffs

When did this happen?

Seriously. I like the gamble on Vesey. This coming from someone who's kind of annoyed with Murray tossing around picks like they are nothing, but he's made exactly 1 offseason move that looks like its panning out so far, and that's O'Reilly

Only thing you have to put is that he's best friends with Jack Eichel

Bishop to Calgary????

Kevin O'Donnell Fox13:
Reports out of Canada have a deal in the works for the Lightning to trade Ben bishop to the Calgary Flames.

What did I miss?
I haven't been on in awhile.

Getting ready to head to Electric Forest after work so I won't be able to watch the draft.

Don't forget traffic on the QEW, ridiculously over priced real estate, people serving you coffee at Tim Horton's telling you how to run the power play.

That will change things with Stamkos if that happens.

And that required a mega bucks Pegula deal to make it work.

Grasping at straws here.

I'm not gona play in a city because traffic.

Give your heads a shake. Toronto and Buffalo are both great places to play hockey.

with it only being a late 3rd i am not all that upset with the trade, but people get so excited over somethign that so far means and does nothing

Bishop to Calgary????

- ImThatGuy

Fox13?

Maybe. Could be some local station trying to drum up attention.

That'd be HUGE.

Win some you lose some. If we don't get Stamkos... we also save ourselves 12M per year. haha.

You forgot to mention that his best friend is on the Sabres
- GERBE!!!75PTS

also Bylsma was an assistant coach to Vesey in the world championships in 2015

That will change things with Stamkos if that happens.
- SABRES 89

better chance he stays i assume? its not like Vesy is a huge drop off in goaltending.

does it make Drouin available if stamkos re-signs?

If the #Lightning are going to make a bold move at the draft coming away w/ Toronto's #1 pick would soften the blow of losing Steven Stamkos


Not sure of what to take from this.

rookies

He was???? I didn't know that.

That's got to be nice to have coach familiarity as well.

- IndianaSabresFan

Thought I read that Drouin wants to stay in Tampa, all is not lost if we don't get Stamkos. I'm hoping Murray stays away from Okposo, heard they like him.
