But people said we should have got Parayho in the trade. So he is flipping what people here wanted from STL and just flipping it around to our fans.

Oh if he was in the package then Guhle would be going and such

Ok I agree thought he was talking about now

So what. You disagree so you try to talk 2nd grade junk?

Mods ban him too. Lets clean this site up - too many floaters just spewing GIFs and nonsense.

I think people were saying you should have got a parayko or thomas in the trade not both lol

considering you didn't get either I don't think anyone who actually knows anything about hockey thinks you should have got both for ROR

Our goalies played maybe the worst in NHL history the first 30 games last year, the only way we are worse next year is if they play like that again, i just don't see it.
- BigStew


Neither do I. Carter Hutton may be a career backup, but he's shown he's twice the goalie Lehner ever will be. Some goalies are late bloomers. It took him a long time, but he was nothing short of excellent last year, and there's no reason why he can't be again.

Some were saying Parayko, Thomas and a 1st for ROR, so he just flipped it from the STL side and said would you do Risto, Mitts and a 1st for ROR.

I would not.

He's gotta tread that line carefully. Too many losses at the KBC this year, and people will be chanting for his head like we did with Darcy
- jcragcrumple


Very true but I think that won't be an issue. I'm not saying we can't be good in 2018/19, I'm just saying refilling the system seems to be what he is trying to do while adding pieces here and there as he can. We aren't going to get a teams top end product for most of what we have on our team or in our system so we need to build our system and bring up our own top end talent.

You wanted Thomas, 1st, 2nd, Berglund. Correct? (Please don't make me go to the last blog to find it)

That is

middlestadt
1st
2nd
Cap player.

I cant break this down anymore than i already have to understand what you are asking in return is trade rape on the St Louis end.

- ImThatGuy


You keep adding tomas when I keep saying 2nd or 3rd Prospect I never one time said we were going to get Thomas I was the one that said hes a ceasy level Prospect as in ranking

I wanted kyrou

As long as they get their poop together an give an honest effort, he's fine. If the team looks uninpired and flat, Housley could be in trouble. Fans have sat through slow, listless hockey for too long. If they finish in the bottom 5, it's going to be incredibly ugly.
- jcragcrumple


I fully believe the guys they're bringing here will force the team to do this. Coupled with some guys already in the room.

Our goals weren't terrible the rest of the year but by then we were a lost cause.

If anything it would have been ROR and say McCabe for Parayko and a 1st and that's stretch

There was no way ROR was enough to get Thomas and Parayko

This!

He is trying to build the Pens system - being able to plug and play players from the farm while keeping your top end guys signed long term. This isn't about 2018/19,

- hammatoe[b]it's about 2021/22 and beyond...



Brilliant - you just coined the Sabres tag-line...

Top 6:
Sheary LW Eichel C Reinhart C/RW
Berglund W/C Middlestadt C/W Okposo RW
Rodrigues C/W Sobotka C Pomminville RW
Girgensons C, Larsson LW, Smith W, Wilson C/LW, Thompson C/RW to fight for the last 3 forward positions. I can see Girgensons/Larsson trying to be flipped with a pick for a LW upgrade/salary dump.

D:
Scandella/Risto
Dahlin/Bogo
Guhle/McCabe

I don't recall seeing those hopeful tardes with seeing some sort of "+" by the Sabres, most notably Bustlander or McCabe.
If there were, they were early when first rumored and quickly discounted as wild.
