(shrug) we got older and slower. Pommer is a known quantity, for better or worse. He is well past his best days but does have value. Ennis at least had the possibility of something more but he has no value if he doesn't score.

Ennis sucks, his contract was terrible, and we got and awesome Dman for Foligno. How is this not an awesome trade?

This seems like very good information that I was not aware of.

Not into analytics, eh?

Pominville had same even-str. point total (40) as Kessel, Monahan, Marner despite low S% (7.4) & depth role. Scandella big upgrade. #Sabres

- PassionBucket16

Analytics aren't good for risto. What do you say about that? Pom we has been sheltered his whole career. Ruff never had him out of top 6 even when he sucked and while playing vanek with peters. He's the teachers pet of wingers. I like getting scandella. I won't miss foligno or ennis. It's a big win for jbotts. I simply can't stand pomminville nor his fans/apologists.

Even if you call Pommer for Ennis a wash I think we improved with Foligno for Scandella.

That's fine. If Pommer can come in and put up 40 that'd be great. If he doesn't I don't think it's a huge deal. Scandella was the main piece.

I honestly don't know how good Scandella is. I'll have to read up on him.

Minny fans on Twitter (always the best barometer and full of rationality) were saying they wanted Kane or Rhino for him

With Boston buying out Jimmy Hayes today and not QO for Morrow yesterday...

They officially have ZERO to show for the Seguin trade.



WOW. Chiarelli.

Yes... I presume you should have.


Nylander, Bailey, Baptiste, and Zemgus can all play LW as well.

Bailey probably most ready to play NHL minutes at LW in that group.

The important question is, does McCabe have to give up #29 for Pommer?

Well, I think that answers the question if he is a good asset
