Wilcox was waived by Roch so the Sabres could sign him to an NHL deal. That does not feel coincidental.
- Lunaion


This was done solely because Johansson had season ending surgery and the Sabres wanted 4 goalies on NHL contract.

I could see any of those moved now.

Hunwick more so after the draft.

- dadeadhead


I think they hang on to Hunwick. Tomorrow could be Beaulieau and maybe one other D man moved.

One year ago if you said we could trade pending UFA Kane + Guhle for a top 4 RD who’s cheap and very young, I’d say we would’ve taken it
- sbroads24


Agreed.


Seems like a really solid trade by Botts. Plus who knows, O'Regan might actually turn into a serviceable bottom 6 guy. I thought he looked pretty good yesterday.

The guy in the left is all the posters running their smack mouths on here and crowing when they are “right” or called it “5 months ago.”

The guy on the right is 89 and Homie, quietly smirking as all

Exactly. Not sure where Wilcox will fit next year because it could be Johansson and 6K in Rochester. I haven't been overly impressed with him this year. Nor Wedgewood for that matter.

Yes he is, I watch the Bolts closely.
Giving up a top 3 RhD, a promissing C (hopefully a very good 2C), 2 1sts...and a $5.8m 4th liner...
Sure you would

- IonSabres

I don’t value what you just stated as high as you do... Promising center(promising means who knows and it’s questionable rt now), two lateish firsts, a top four inconsistent D(come on you all say it also). Worst part of this trade is taking on Callahan but to go for a sure thing, elite center to go along with Eichel yeah I do that all day long rather than hoping Mittelstadt turns into something and hoping beyond hope I hit on one of those two firsts. I’m not saying it’s nothing to give up but for Point I would do it. To have that one two down the middle for the next seven years would be huge.

Doesn’t really matter there’s a zero% chance Tampa is trading him where they are right now. Can’t see it.

Yes. So you could see 8 for now certainly but it's a logjam.

BN says that Montour is UFA, but the cap sites say RFA. I'm confused.

I would. McCabe with Risto, Beaulieau/Hunwick with Bogo.

You can find a 2nd pairing RD.

If you can now flip Ristolainen for a Huberdeau or JT Miller plus it’s a giant win.

- sbroads24


Huberdeau is a good player
But he’s a winger, and a pass first guy

Huberdeau-Mitts-Sam looks nice on paper,
but who’s gonna shoot the freaking puck?!

Miller isn’t a sniper either

And if top4 RD are easy to find,
how come just about every team is constantly looking for 1
How come we still have Bogo in the top4?

If they trade Hunwick before the draft, the conditional pick to the Pens becomes a 3rd. I would keep him for now. He might be an ok 7th heading into next year.

The only one that mentioned montour was jfitz.

When did either 89 or homie mention this.

89 said we might trade a pick at the deadline?
