Would it be such a terrible thing to have Guhle start out the season in Rochester? Maybe give Housley some time to straighten out Risto/McCabe/Beaulieu and let Guhle get top pair minutes in Rochester. Probably wouldn't be the worst thing for him.

Bots already said he wants young guys developing in A. Guhle should spend whole year there developing. We now have a 3rd pairing D.

Not gunna happen since he just signed an extension.

He was going to need a contract either way. Why wouldn't he sign one?

Beaulieu acquisition makes Bogo expendable, will not be protected. I also believe Lehner will be unprotected with Bot hoping the salary makes him too expensive as a backup in Vegas.

The Sabres got a 3rd from the Caps for Mike Weber a few seasons back.
Mike Weber.
So this trade could end benefitting the team Defense for years to come if Housley can help the kid find his game.
Great start as Botterils 1st trade as GM.
Appears to signal one of Bogosian or Georges likely gone.

Wait is that the Weber pick they just swapped for this kid?
OK No that pick is #89...which we still have...so that was their original pick #68.

Just curious, could Buffalo give LV Tyler Ennis as incentive to take Moulson?

I heard lehner may be moved to the flyers or yotes in the next 20 minutes

What do you think Buffalo is looking for from them? Also why would the Yotes target Lehner when they just traded for Johnson?

Current rumor is the following:

Lehner to Winnipeg
Kane to NYI
Reinhart to Wild

Return overall would be two D men and a 1st round pick.

As usual with trade rumors, take it with a grain of salt.

Why would they expose him if he just signed? Its obvious Lehners not the future.

He's from Sweden and has been in Buffalo the past few days.

Because they need to expose a goalie under contract

I'm pretty sure both Lehner and Ullmark met the requirements with or without a contract. The only requirement is that they either have a contract for next season OR are an RFA.

That's been my thought process all along
No need to rush Guhle

Interesting
Both do need a starting goalie

Winnipeg too, Vegas obviously (but they'll have choices)...

Anyone else?

Still no dice between Nashville and Vegas but keep in mind David Poile has until Wednesday morning to convince GM GM of something...

So they might lose Neal or Jarnkrok
