Sabres Accept
Not so fast.
I have watched Samuelsson, and I like what I see. I have never watched Robertson and know nothing about him other than Thompson has much better AHL stats than he.
Thompson came alive once Granato became the head coach, played 18 fewer games than Kerfoot, is paid $2,100,000 less, is three years younger and he had the same number of goals.
I would not make this trade, I like the future of my LHD more than the future of a LW of which we have many (Ruotsalainen, Asplund, Olofsson, Bjork, Skinner, Girgensons).
I like the future of Tage Thompson as he is currently our only signed NHL RW other than Okposo.

Why is the Sabre trade bad?

Sabres trade is awful
Doubt Seattle is moving their first but I'd do that
Doubt Arizona accepts that trade but I'd do that.
Why is the Sabre trade awful?

I like samuelsson, and hes a piece we likely could use, but i like robertson more, so yes. Thompson i will not miss, but i suppose theres a chance he becomes a decent power forward, they do take time.
Have you seen Robertson play?
Yes big players take a lot longer to develop.
When Thompson played with Mittelstadt and Asplund he looked like he could stick around.
Even before that line was assembled he was a hard working forward, willing to go to the dirty areas, and played at top speed when he was on the ice.
