Nice reed baller .

I appreciate your in depth report. Couple guys to watch.

Murphy seams like a very good fit.
Good contract and age.
Good player

I worked out a trade for Murphy when I was playing bubble hockey at tonawanda lanes a couple days ago.

Just completed a trade on NHL 94. I just snagged Kevin Stevens for Bob Errey and Randy Moller. Some say fleece. Others say massive fleece. At least I'm contributing.
What have you brought in for the Sabres?

Trevor Daley was my go-to trade on NHL '09. That dude was a cheat code and you could get him for a 5th

A couple other posters (one) brought a similar contribution. Thank you for posting your trade.

I think I can speak for most here at hockeybuzz, we really appreciate what you've done for the Sabres.

I'm still trying to move asplund for a squirrel.
Need too add more nuts, both sides.....

Conner murphy was the go to guy when I was playing xbox with my kid and his friends. Nhl 2017-2018 maybe?

We would turn the hits all the way up a Murphy would destroy people.

We would call it bigs-hits ☝️

Merry Christmas Hank

They don't need a rental... they need someone with experience, who can help Power and grow as a part of this team for the next couple of years. If Ryan Johnson isn't signing with Buffalo, then move him (and/or Portillo if he won't sign) while still valuable to another organization... part of a package to get a guy like Chychrun. If not him... and we want to insist on a rental, then Dumba from the Wild and send Mittelstadt their way as part of the deal.

That could be Connor Murphy

Good contract for several more years. Bonus is that he plays the right, versus Chychrun on the left

I’m sorry but we aren’t getting poop for either Johnson or Portillo if they won’t sign here.

No one is sending us a 3rd like we did for feces

If the cost is a pair of seconds, I think you pay that and never look back.

Hopefully Murphy would be willing

We need to have serious conversations with both Johnson and Portillo first to see their interest. If both say no hell offer them both. Not sure it gets it done because of they won’t sign in Buffalo not sure chicago would whirl their wing nut either.

But 2nd should be in play.

Both Johnson and Portillo are positions of need for this team.

Hey, Murphy scored a goal tonight. Price is going up. LOL. And let's remember Buffalo still owes Chicago "future considerations" from the Malcomb Subban trade. You need to include a good forward prospect and make that 2nd round pick Philadelphia's.

Strange part about their D is the top 3 are Lefty, of course. Doesn't get mentioned as much, but the next 3 are all Righties.

A 3LD upgrade over Bryson might be the single biggest upgrade they could make, and it should be cheap to do so. They just need the will to move on from Bryson. Not sure they have it.

Are they part of something you are hearing. Chicken man on the move? Terry always gets his man…

Seams a little light on the Sabres side.

I'm thinking Murphy brings back something like risto.

Mid (protected) 1st and a 2nd?
Maybe 2024 (1st) instead of the deeper 2023 draft?

Yes they are in on Chychrun as I mentioned before however the asking of Savoie already is a none starter.

There are a couple idea's floating around with both of those players as of now but Adams goal is to sign both. He's not in " move " mode with them yet.

Good for them standing firm. I don’t want to see them “give up the farm” for a guy.

I do like Hanks list. Maybe a lower cost of acquisition and still relieves some pressure from the top 3.

Terry can get tunnel vision though and push for something crazy.

If they can sign them they damn well should. We have a need at both positions
