I think Pommer replaces Gionta. With 2 years left I'm good with it since I believe that was the same amount of term as Ennis with a bit higher of a cap hit. I'd look at Moulson if we're worried about cap.
- Zschalberg

I agree. If not,it is the same old dumb moves. Gionta better not be on this roster. The one thing i dont like. Carrier and foligno are 3rd or 4th line players you need to win in playoffs. Big fast and hit....

Scandella very good.

Pommer....very very bad, especially with that contract.

Good trade fro the Sabres but need to get rid of Moulson, cant have him and Pommer on the same team, lots of cash tied into usless players

- DDM-Coga


Pominville is a lot less useless than Ennis, and Foligno will "tough to play against" and put up 25-30 points

Why do people want Sam back at Center.... he hasn't played well there at all.

At least at RW he has been a 20 goal scorer and gets more minutes. I don't want him getting 3rd line minutes with guys like Larsson/Zemgus on his wings.

Put him with Eichel or ROR and his play will blossom.

- JVince11

I want him at Center if he has good wingers. 3 scoring lines with 3 good centers is how you stretch other teams thin. I don't want him with Larrson or Zemgus, if that's what he gets, which it is right now, I say keep him at wing

Pomminville is far less useless than Moulson. There are only 2 years left on his deal. He's fine.

why? we have the most cap space out there
- IndianaSabresFan


You do have a lot, but also have things to address this year:
UFA- Kulikov, Nilsson, any free agents you want to get
RFA- Zemgus, Beaulieu, Lehner

Next year:
UFA- Kane, Deslaurier
RFA- EICHEL, REINHART

They are going to buyout Gorges. It makes the most sense.

Pommer isn't as bad as you think. Advanced stats back that up.
- Pierceme69


Hate watching the Wild tell me he is bad, watched him enough over the past few seasons against the Avs.....hes a bad hockey player now.

Hopefully this gets him going again

My eyeballs say he sucked when he was here and now he's older and suckier. 3rd 4th line plus pk. Anything else and m banging my head against a wall.

Right, but you have contracts falling off soon. I'm not worried about the long term. Now if they overpay in FA this year, then I'll get there. But with this trade I think that they aren't going to be looking to make a big FA splash

Buffalo also got rid of a bad contract in Ennis.

Ennis for Pominville
Foligno and a 3 for Scandella and a 4

Pomminville - 47 pts last year
Ennis - 13 pts last year

So you watching a few Wild games against the Avs carries more weight than stats than say he was 8th best in the league per 60 5 vs 5?

Shouldn't you be on the Leafs thread bashing the Sabres? Turncoat
- Hatboro_Swords


Dude what is wrong with you. This is a good day... Can't you just enjoy it. A good d-man and ok 3rd liner for an ok third liner and an often injured overpayed player. Take a breath and think for a minute. I promise you'll see that this is a good trade. Stop insulting others just because someone else did it to you.

A lot of guys really like Scandella, like Yost, so this is a good sign
- sbroads24


Not that it matters, but I think Marco Scandella is an outstanding Defenseman, last year I mentioned him on a short list of Left Handed D-men, Right behind Vlasic and Elkholm that would be a good fit for Risto.

I tsays we gave up a pick too in this deal.

Can't imagine it's anything big but could still hurt..

I am SOOOOO f'n happy if we just dealt Ennis and Foligno and got back Pommer and Scandella.

That's a win every day of the week.

Foligno isn't fast, Carrier is but I think we can say goodbye to both without shedding a tear

I didn't love the deal but after you put it that way (Pommer replaces Gionta) I am better with it. I hate getting slower.
