Every time someone making decent money is traded, it's called a "cap dump" now? Whether we keep both, one or none, Berglund and Sobotka aren't chumps. Both can play.
- Powerslave


Berglund only topped 17 goals once in the last 6 years and only played more than 57 games 3 times in 6 years.

Sobotka is trash and we all know it. He topped 10 goals for the first time in his career last year and even jumped to Russia for 3 years.

They are both bottom 6 at best making a combined what... 8ishM. Awesome.

Dreger said it was fair and not over the top. Said STL didn’t have to give up any of their premiere prospects.


I’ll be the first..... we should have kept ROR

Did we get a sniper or an area of need?

Youve been complaining about us not having top line players, we just traded for two 30 point forwards. I just fail to see how this makes us any better. We will be a lottery team next year.

1 of these guys we just got and a pick may not be here, both of these guys are better then some of the scrubs some people were talking about today. Grabner, Duclair.

Berglund as a 3rd line Centre playing defensive minutes allows Casey to do his thing. Sobotka brings some grit to the bottom 6 and has versatility. We have 3 first round picks next year.... I don’t see how this wasn’t a good haul for us. O’Reilly will be useless in 2 seasons. The fact that we got out of that contract is a win for the Sabres.

Trade doesn't suck, we got good players and another 1st and 2nd rounder, loser.

Anything less than tarasenko would suck for him, No surprise here.

Well, there is everyone's "Change"!

Personally, I'm meh about the return itself.

If he can turn pieces into Pacioretti then I'm feeling better.
ROR out and a quality leader in!
Culture changing right before your eye's.

Big if though.

- IonSabres


Agree, get picks and a 20 yr old prospect! Get Pach leadership/scoring, makes this team better!

No it's garbage we couldn't get any of the 3 Elite prospects you get players dump players "nothing players "

Thompson is all right but he's slow has a great shot but how the hell do you trade ROR and not end up with the top prospect

W/e

That’s what happens when you are trading an overpaid player on the backside of his prime.

Getting out of that deal and out of that headache was a win in itself.

Grabner is better than both these guys.

I rather keep the 3 first next year then move one out. Its going to be another long 2 or 3 years.

People female doged about the bottom 6 and I quote “fix the bottom 6 and this team gets so much better”

Getting Kyrou or Thomas would have been a win. This feels like a draw

Yea bunch of third and fourth liners. We got worse this year, but the picks will make the future even better.

Hi Friends....interesting deal.

If you can flip the swedes for assets then I think you can come off really well here. Shock a dman was not involved in the return.

Not happy about ROR back in the Central, but blues wont scare me with Jake Allen in net still, you have the goalie that carried them last year now.

Grabner 9 assist in 82 or so games, yep he's a keeper, did nothing after the trade to the fast skating Devils.

This feels like we had to trade him and we had our hands tied made no sense you could have traded him to the Islanders for (frank)ing better prospects I guarantee it

I'm a little heated right now
