I'd do that but I just think it will take more to get Brown, that's why I'd be willing to give up Pominville for him. If you are right and Stafford and Roy would get him, I'd be all for it.

I'd move Stafford and Roy for a 12 pack.

Edited so I can QFT.

Brown is a pretty good scorer:
G A Pts
2006-07: 17 29 46

2007-08 33 27 60

2008-09 24 29 53

2009-10 24 32 56

2010 -11 28 29 57

2011-12 13 16 29

His numbers, besides this year, are comparable to Pominville's. Buy him low and sell Pominville high.

This really isn't true. They're totally different types of players.

Pominville: GP=517, P=412, +42
Brown: GP=571, P=334, -44

That's a pretty big difference. I'm not saying I don't think it's a good trade, but I don't think it's fair to say they're comparable. I think they do two totally different things, each of which is very valuable.

Brown is a rugged leader who can contribute decent points.

Pominville is a consistent point producer who plays excellent two-way hockey. I don't really know about the leadership thing because this team is bad until at least the roster changes or the coach/GM changes.

If you put these two together, I think you end up with Shane Doan in his prime (or something very close to it).

You also get 45 playoff games in Pominville vs. 6 playoff games in Brown. So take that for what it's worth.

I proposed this trade not to trade an apple for an apple. I did so because Brown might score less points than Pominville but he is rugged and would help change the culture of the Sabres. It was mentioned that Pominville was a scorer by 89, I then went to post Brown's numbers, and his goal totals in particular are comparable if not better than Pominville's. LA needs offensive help now and if I were the Sabres GM, I would propose this trade to LA and even offer a bit more to land a power forward with offensive upside like Dustin Brown.

Actually Pomminville has surprised me this year, I think he has stepped up a notch with the Captaincy, one of the few bright spots of the year, Vanek as well, every one else can just go and blow and goat.

The kings are playing trap style hockey what a boring piece of crap

what happen to the kings run and gun offense that was fun and it worked

For sure, low on scoring confidence, so at least they are trying to keep it simple and tight and trying to get that right, Buffalo can't even do that.

I understand, you posted an opinion, to make the team tougher, change the idenity of the club! Nothing wrong with that, I love Brown.
Pommer is the idenity of his GM -soft.

I like Pominville, but this team needs to move on, if it means they could getbDustin Brown! Sell. Sell. Sell

LA Kings are a perfect trading partner for the Sabres.....

Roy, Miller, Stafford

For

Brown, Quick, Johnson and 1st

Just an opinion, a change of this teams idenity.

But could be partners w/ LA? Just a feeling
