You knew this. You knew this, right? Like, you were there, and he's like, Gerbe, bro, bruh, broski, broseph bro bro, SJ is offereing 2 1st round picks, should I take it?
- TheSabresTaco

Two months ago that's all I have to say

Move on, let's see what happens in the offseason or draft day.
- SABRES 89

As is what has been happening the last 5 trade deadlines. Today's conference script is already set for, "Hockey trades happen during offseason or draft day".

Statistically you're 100% wrong. One team wins it every year, so it can't be 'virtually impossible'.
- Pierceme69

Statistically, your statistics are baloney

Moved him 2 months ago before he went on his 20-goal scoreless streak
- GERBE!!!75PTS

To who? Do you know FOR A FACT teams wanted him 2 months ago, or are you making Xbox trades again?

What is better- Steve bernier or the return for Kane?

Debate.

I wouldn't consider the guy we got a B level.
C level.
- ImThatGuy

C level would be someone like fasching. O Regan has done what Smith has and we have him competing for an NHL spot at the very least next year.

He went full Darcy regier put a ridiculous price tag on and got poop on

You have nothing because you know nothing.

Are you telling me NO ONE wanted Pouliot? Even for a late round pick?

Bernier we also got a second for him

well, when you look at the other deals...

just because i like to shut you up when your wrong, which is oh so often

Rookie Qualifications To be considered a rookie, a player must not have played in more than 25 NHL games in any preceding seasons, nor in six or more NHL games in each of any two preceding seasons. Any player at least 26 years of age (by September 15th of that season) is not considered a rookie.

2016-17 San Jose Sharks NHL 3 1 0 1 0 -2 -- -- -- -- --
2017-18 San Jose Sharks* NHL 19 0 4 4 2 -3

22 games played, 25 years old, and absolutely fits the criteria for the word prospect.
so yes he is a prospect thats a fact.

edit: 24 years old actually
- zombres

If you could feel my eye roll.

The guy they got is not really a prospect, he is a player that cant break into the NHL currently at 24 Years old, he is not going to get much better. 5th rd pick.

Also an RFA I do believe.

You have nothing because you know nothing.
- TheSabresTaco

You don't think teams weren't calling 2 months ago ? What he was the hottest player in the NHL okay I can't wait till it comes out

No they are (frank)ing incompetent he could have easily trade him two months ago..

He obviously thought his value was so high that he put such a ridiculous price tag and ended up with a second round pick great (frank)ing job
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Is that you Botterill? Pure speculation on what he could have gotten two months ago.

In the end, the market determines the price. In this case, the market determined that he wasn't worth a 1st in 2018 and an A+ prospect - or else Botterill would have taken it. Hopefully we all agree that he's not a complete idiot and moron.

As 89's suggests, it's time to move on. Hopefully Botterill can shed us from some of these awful contracts that are weighing us down.

Seems very quite today regarding deals

Statistically, your statistics are baloney
- TheSabresTaco

Statistically speaking, statistics are only stats that are statistical in nature.

Your sources are telling you this?
- Powerslave

I only get trade info after the season's over with

And if I did it would be right

You know what everyone should take away from today?

How much Beady Eyed Douche (frank)ed this franchise!

You wanna be upset?
Be upset with the BED that pretty much all of you licked nuts of.

True story.

He NEVER fooled me!

No one wanted our trash whatever

On to the draft

- GERBE!!!75PTS

Kane doesnt hold value, get that through your damn head.

No team was offering multiple first round picks for him.

Whether it's right or wrong, reputation/perception drives 90% of trade value. Thats why Nash was always going to get more in return for NYR than Kane for us. The talent level wasn't even relevant to the GMs. Unfortunate but oh well (ps its also why i think ROR could still bring a haul if Botts chose to go that route)
- Sabresfan-365

I’m still surprised at how it played out,
but u must be right

Apparently 1 team may still have a deal for Karlsson
