Bigger question, does it qualify as a "hockey trade" for KA?

I see this move as Rochester depth, maybe a extra guy because our defense gets hurt a lot? Doesnt seem more vibey then bryson?

Maybe I'm wrong?

I think he's the new 3LD, but not a hockey trade because it was for a prospect. How does it have any effect on Roch?

Seems like the term bothers you for some reason.

There's been smoke with Gibson and the Sabres since Adams took over.

Sure, but as time goes on that has to have passed. Two years ago the guy was still a decent goalie. I know he sees a ton of rubber there but the guy has been trending in the wrong direction for years now.

I wasnt sure where stillman fits in our organization?
I was asking out loud, is he really a new Sabres player or realistically a Rochester bound guy?
Doesnt move the needle.

As for hockey trade, you're right, bloom is a prospect.

Go get everything you need in 1 shot.

It would cost you a ton: prob something like 2 1sts, a second, savoie, Rosen, comrie (throwaway), Bryson (throwaway)….maybe more??

You think they traded for him to waive him tomorrow and send him down?

Bloom isn't much of a prospect. For all we know they didn't think much of him so they took a flyer on a guy that recently had some success on a team that played a system similar to ours.

He's a cap dump at this point in his career whet his term and cap hit. Anaheim would need to add something for us to take him

Never been under a .900 save % even on some really bad teams. Yes he's had a rough couple years but they have been horrible.

Just saw he's Cory Stillman's son, former KA teammate. Hate to think that was a factor here.

Of course it's a factor πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Bloom seems like a low end prospect, glad we got our 6th defenseman for him. πŸ‘

I am sure it's a factor. Same as Casey Fitzgerald getting picked up by the team his dad was a captain for.

Personally love Gibson so I would be down for this for sure.

On an aside, Detroit up 2-1 on Ottawa right now. Halfway through the game.

I barely know the guy, just can't imagine they acquired him to sit behind Clague/Bryson.

No clue on Dahlin. Not a game I'd rush him back for.
