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

- ImThatGuy


I said Scandella is very good too, I said I like the trade bc hes a good add but had to take pommer with him.

Still stinks

Coming from a fan of a team paying Erik Johnson as a top 10 defensemen and Varlamov as a top 5 Goalie. Move along if you are just gonna be a jerk here.

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



Pommer makes $1 million more with the same remaining years as Ennis and is a lot more productive...

Pommer is not bad

You forgot to mention Ennis and Foligno are very bad and Pommer had very good numbers 5vs5

Sorry I have to label your post as fake news.

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

Scandella is the win in this trade for sure, but I think you under-value Pommer a bit. At the very least he will help our PK which was atrocious last season.

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?

Had to take Pommer?

I am thinking you don''t know who Ennis and Foligno is. Gladly take Pommers over BOTH.

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.
- Khmylev


Your eyeballs are lying to you, Pommer can still skate, he kills penalties and he can man the point on the power play and he can be a solid leader in the locker room. this trade is a win for GMJB.

That was a big need
- jcragcrumple

My point is Pommer had 47 points last year, and probably takes the role that Gionta was playing. His cap is higher than it should be but does not handicap the team in any way. He is not the focal point of the trade, Scandella is. 3 years at 4M is not bad.

AND, we did not give up a 1st, a 2nd, or a good prospect. I like the trade. Even if Ennis finds his magic again, I like the trade

This was a fantastic trade. Clear and simple. And I agree that I would rather have Pomminville than Ennis

If McCabe got traded Botteril really would be shaking things up. Personally I like McCabe's game, and I think taking him out would hurt the defense that we're trying to make better. Plus, McCabe played for Housley at the WJC and I would think PH would have some say as to who he wants on his team.
- Zschalberg


McCabe was Housley's captain at the World Juniors. He isn't going anywhere.

Everyone is so testy around here. We're not used to being happy so we revert to being mad.

I still remember the day we traded Pominville and being in denial about rebuilding. Crazy it's come full circle and he's back now lol.

Also really like this trade, two guys who I didn't really think had much value for a top 4 and solid geezer. Good trade

I wouldn't. Pominville is garbage. Happy about scandella though. And yes, we had the take jp and his stupid contract. I'd take leino over pominville.
