you won the Kane trade? seriously? Myers and Stafford have more points in a Jets jersey than Kane and Bogo in a Sabres. Armia is looking like a solid player we are afraid to lose in expansion, Lemieux is shaping up to be the future pest/poop disturber our team needs and Jack Raslovik will be an excellent 2nd line center in the NHL if not top line center. - Ross77
It was a slam dunk jets win until this season.
It's at least close now.
SABRes fans are choosing to immediately forget all his off ice issues and avg play.
To be fair, He was quite the snipe this year. Still doesn't negate everything else
Tim Murray's only crime thus far as been not improving the D one iota this off season. The Lehner trade (while a bit of an overpayment) isn't as bad as people make it out to be. He fleeced Colorado for O'Reilly, and I'd say we won the Kane trade, unless Armia takes a giant leap next year. Psysk for Kulikov was bad, i'll give you that. Give him this off season. If the Sabres aren't on the cusp of a playoff spot, look elsewhere. - BatFan88
Whoever gets best player in deal usually wins...Kane, for all his wars off the ice, is definitely best player in deal. Chevaldayoff gives up the 3rd, 4th, and 8th overall picks in draft and got Myers ( has he ever been healthy )
Stafford 2years 9 million is a loss any way you look at
Armia 4th liner
Lemieux 4th liner
Roslovic maybe a 3rd liner, definitely not a 1st or 2nd liner
This is typical of Chevy's reign of error, high picks like 3rd, 4th, and 8th should form the team's core, more asset mismanagement, wasn't a big fan of Birmistrov
but to lose him on wavers for nothing was ridiculous. Put him on wavers and keep
Petan on team??.0 goals in last 52 games, and some games he played more on pp
than Laine, maybe coaching needs to be addressed too.

I also don't see Kane re signing there, he will either wait and see what he can get as a UFA or want to go to California, Florida or Vegas. The Sabres will be better off
Saw this blog comin as soon as they potted that winner. Helluva game. It's fun when u got not stake in it. No stress.
Well played and congrats
And yes, gardiner was fantastic last night.
It's funny too, cause the last time I remember thinking that was the last time the leafs were in the playoffs. Big game player?
But I take back my preds as good a 8 seed as leafs back.
They're better. No goals against in 2 games and dominant against a dynasty team.
Big lebowski is the greatest movie ever. Any movie that the 50th time you see still has some brilliant moment that you didn't fully pick up on the other 49 is pretty Amazing stuff
Cows milk is for baby cows. I ain't preaching or anything, just think it's gross.
More smiths and the cure please. Before my time but I'm an old soul - HB77
Ah, you overrate the Hawks. They're not the same team that you think they are. At this point, I don't think they're much better than Nashville or eve Toronto. They've lost so much of their depth.
I do agree Big Lebowski is a great movie, but the greatest movie ever is Back to the Future.

Solid job of not looking at or into anything at all. You just picked the players in the deal and arbitrarily assigned ratings/ceilings to them with no research whatsoever.
Stafford? Yeah, bad. Deal.
Armia? Already a 3rd liner, and carried Lowry and Matthias for most of the season.
Lemieux? Probably not even a 4th liner, but he's a throw in.
Roslovic? Top 9 forward already, with huge upside.
Burmistrov had no value, they made it widely known that he was available for 2 weeks before they waived him.
Petan didn't score because he was with useless players named Tanev and Thorburn. Nobody scores with those two.
kane and bogosian 125 points
Myers and Stafford 107 points
Seriously - Moosejuice17
Trading for Kane when he was out for the year was an exceptionally great move almost guaranteeing a bottom finish and thus either McDavid or Eichel. No matter what happens with that trade in the next few years Buffalo won the rights to draft Eichel very likely from the price to acquire Kane.

I guess there's no accounting for good taste
As far as musical tastes, not something I'll bother debating. As long as your taste doesn't include that cheeseball generic rock music from the late 80s to the early oughts, like creed and abominations of the ilk, I'll respect your difference of opinion

But good job, you sure nailed those "points". - Rexypoo
no research? according to TSN, Toronto offered Jets their choice of a 2nd or
Bozak for Birmistrov when he came back from KHL....that's asset mismanagement,
waiting 3 years to trade Kane after his trade request, when he was hurt and an obvious problem - asset mismanagement, could have got all those 'great ' players
from Buffalo just for him if they had traded him at his highest value
Mattias was hurt for half of the year and saying Armia carried both him and Lowry
shows how little you watched the Jets . And all that time Petan was on
the power play.....was he on pp with Thorburn with Tanev then?? You can try
sugar coat Petan's play all you want but 0 goals in 52 games says all you need to know about his season.....research how much time Petan spent on the power play.

It was a great move by Buffalo, if reports out of Buffalo are true the Sabres got rid of three players they didn't want in Myers, Stafford and Armia and Lemieux said he wouldn't report to Buffalo if they kept his rights, and the Jets got a low 1st rounder.
Buffalo made the trade to ensure the future of their franchise, didn't get Mc David but
Eichel is a pretty good consolation prize. Winnipeg traded a Loonie and got back
2 quarters and a couple of dimes- typical of a Gm that is scared to make deals.

If you don't like a nice cold glass of milk you wouldn't get it.
But I'd probably quit milk before beer
As for music I was just kidding - to each their own...there is no right or wrong.

Why would Toronto ever have offered that? Assuming it's true, why would they trade a player they just got back? You don't even know what you have at that point. Not to mention Bozak's contract isn't one you want to take on.
Again, trading a potential top line player because he's a brat isn't a smart move. Once it became clear he wasn't going to be that player, and he alienated himself from the team, they moved him. Roslovic alone makes that even for me.
Petan was also very good on the powerplay, when he was allowed to play. You forget that the Jets PP is brutal as a whole, and Petan's production there will be modest as a result.
I've watched almost every single game, pre season or regular season, this team has played since 2011 (let's say I missed 10 for whatever reasons), and about 100 Thrashers games before that. Burmistrov and Kane were handled about as well as possible. The never trading off our expiring deals for draft picks when you claim to be rebuilding is definitely some annoying "asset mismanagement", I'll give you that.

Dreger reported on the Toronto offers, They were moving out older players for younger ones as part of rebuild, don't know if any money was kept as part of deal.
The jets had 2 years to see what Birmistrov could do in NHL ( and 2 in KHL) an east west player in a north south game. If Petan was so good on powerplay, why was it brutal? 100 Thrasher games? That's pretty good, would make you their #1 fan.
Crash was a terrible, sentimental overwrought piece of garbage.
Boyhood was a one of the best things I've ever seen. I kinda feel sorry you're so cynical to just completely ignore it like that. - James_Tanner
It was like The Lord of the Rings, it would never end. His beyond trilogy was superior in the age gimmick department. And it was overwrought and simplistic in storytelling.
I would rather sit through The Notebook or Love Actually than ever suffer through Crash again. However, the Spader version of Crash was pretty cool.

when did chevy draft those guys? He was cleaning up Atlanta's mess. And you know very little about the Jets.

Edit: I can see why it's viewed as bad now, but then it was awesome. - tomburton99
It was. I'm not sure how old you are, but when you're like 10 it was the best thing ever. I think it was a red tail when it was a hard shot and a blue one when the puck was in the air on a clear or a dump in.
