I'm not your bro, buddy.

Wow. The Sabres are very much improved with this trade and the two other additions on defence. ....and really gave up little to do so.
The new guy is doing ok so far, good stuff!

Pommer #92?

McCabe may be a gentleman and let Pommer have his 29. You never know

Hopefully this means we won't give foolish money to Shattenkirk

It closes at 5 PM. I expect Gorges to be bought out. He would only cost $1.3 towards the cap this year and next. Saves us $2.6 million this year.

I don't normally respond on here, but I have to because your last 5 posts are about buying Gorges out. WHY????? 1 year left at $4mm? They have $20mm in space this year. Who (frank)ing cares? Let him be your #7 and let the contract die out.

Giving away Scandella hurts. While the Wild will earn around $5 million in cap space, which they will use to re-sign Nino Niederreiter and Mikael Granlund, it’s still tough to lose a top-four defenseman.

Scandella didn’t quite perform as well under Boudreau as some other players, but he was excellent in the playoffs. One scout said that he considered Scandella an above average overall defenseman, who is good in all areas – he can move the puck, step up in the play at times, play physical along the boards and is a smart player.

It’s not that he’s impossible to replace, rather his absence might give the Wild less flexibility with their pairs if someone gets hurt or players are struggling. Still, a Suter-Spurgeon, Brodin-Dumba top-four is very good.

Pominville will be thrilled to go back to Buffalo. The greatest moments of his career came there. The Wild will be losing a solid role player who bounced back from a rough ’15-’16 to have an excellent 2016-17 season. In fact, Pominville finished last year with the Wild’s best 5-on-5 scoring rate – though he played fewer minutes than some of the top Minnesota forwards. He’s still a good enough skater to keep up, smart and skilled.

SABRES NEED MORE PLAYERS WITH NUMBERS IN THE 90s!!!!!!


I always give Nylander, Bailey, and somtimes Zemgus a high number.

Hopefully this means we won't give foolish money to Shattenkirk
- Slump Buster

I'd still give him 6MM per...

We got our captain back

In case anyone else likes to look at these things after a trade.

We still have 19+M in cap space.

And Pommer have no trouble waiving his M-NTC/NMC to come back home.

DON'T GO AFTER MY F'N CAPTAIN!!!!

I know, that's there shtick

Gotta love the Wild for always being a willing trade partner for the Sabres.

- justplaintravis

Exactly. We don't need to play him 20min a night and if we have injury issues this year he may come in handy. IF (and I do not believe this will happen) we were to buy out a contract it would be Moulson

Spurgeon and Ennis are finally reunited @Gerbe

Good trade.

No trade is perfect, but I like this.

I'm wondering if JB heard some negative news from the Shatty camp, and that he may have been waiting on that before he pulled the trigger on this.

I guess not paying tribute to him the first time he came back isn't a thing anymore.

Good trade.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Still have a crap ton a cap space.

Let's rotate it, just like the old days. I'm sure Kaner would like a turn.

Devonte Smith-Pelly bought out. Rigyht there is your low risk high-reward, bottom six singing.

I'd like to grab him at 2 years for 1 million per, he can't be asking for much more than league minimum contract.

For the poster saying we got slower that's not true

Pommer while older than when he was here last is a good skater and won't have problems keeping up.

Ennis is fast east to west but not north and south.

Face value doesn't look amazing, but you got rid of two guys who are either overrated or just unable to help you much for different reasons, and acquired a solid defender.

Good deal


How long till Garth starts comparing the move to Neely for Pederson? Botts is a genius omg!! Best gm ever!
