the nerds say kase is bonafide top 6 winger as long as he's healthy

axel andersson underwhelming, and late first slim chance at becoming kase
- robz228

hence, the reasonable cost.

Kase is another nothing player, we have plenty of those and plenty of years without the playoffs, the Bruins can have him.
- SABRES 89

I mean he isn't, unless nothing means a fragile middle 6 winger.

don't know, and 50 points is not easily replaced...

Sabres who scored 50 points in the last decade:

eichel
oreilly
skinner
reinhart
pominville
vanek

Kesler, Perry and Backes are buried for the Ducks, that's huge and not good for them.

He's a bottom 6 player.

Why trade for Frolic when we could have signed Pommer or Vanek or both.

Add Stafford and Connelly

There was also a three year stretch where we had no 50 point scorers. That's hard to fathom.

AHH i missed stafford, scored exactly 50 in 10-11

I'm not a fan of the Frolik trade by any means, but signing any one of those two doesn't make any sort of impact on the win column.

Valid question.

Both have more value then what Frolic brings.

good (frank)in question.

Saw Pommer at Wegs the other day. So I know he's still in Clarence.

52! Don't undercut the Staff infection.

You should have signed him up

At a fraction of the cost of Fro. Extra cap space that could've been used to enhance TDL deals.

Hey PS, can you roll over and tap Botts on the shoulder? Tell em its time to get up. Thanks!!!

Yeah, np. I'll tell him the "Hockeybuzz brain surgeon" wants to talk to him. Stand by...

neither did frolk and it cost us a pick

Bruins 1st round pick is like a 10th of the value of a Sabres 1st round pick. So.. if you're a poop team, like we are, why are we trading it with Kyle Okposo for a fringe top 6 forward.

While retaining. And shortening his contract.
- TheSabresTaco

Why are we assuming it would have taken the 1st round pick from Buffalo?

The Buffalo equivalent may have been Johansson, Borgen, and maybe a 2nd, or even a 3rd.

He sure murdered those papers he threw.

The Ducks perhaps valued the first rounder. Boston could always lose in the first round and that pick would be much higher than Buffalo’s second rounder.

Easier cleanup than a nacho bar. He maturing at an astonishing rate.
