<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mwasylko34</b></div><div>The trade proposal here is not good. I understand they want "4 1st round players/picks." With that said you can easily imply that it has to be quality. Howden sucks he is 4th line at best, does not matter if he was a first round pick. They will want one of Laf/Miller, young established players so Chytil/Buch, and then probably Strome for cap purposes and cuz he is a center back, plus a 1st round pick and another pick/prospect</div></div>

I never liked the tick box idea for trade values. I think the ask for ror was a first, good young prospect, a later pick, and an nhl forward. If you check off the boxes- we got the 31st pick of round 1, tage freaking thompson who was the blues 4th best prospect, two horrific cap dumps (one of whom would still be here if he didnt quit hockey), and a 2nd. Its one of the worst trades in the last 25 years, but technically, it checks all of the boxes.

Sujet: Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Why wouldn’t Eichel get max return. IF BUF were to trade him (they shouldn’t) what is the impetus for them to not get max value? He is 5 more years on his contract beyond this year. What is he going to do, sit out and not get paid? BUF has all of the leverage, somebody will pay them that. I’ve said it before there is ZERO way a current Eichel to the Rangers deal does not include Lafrienere +. Ranger fans can try to justify it but it just isn’t happening. Elite young 1C’s with long term deals in place are the absolute premiums.</div></div>

I am a sabres fan but unfortunately i think this is wrong. I think the difference between the rangers and many/most other teams is that they can still put a very attractive package together, with quality and quantity, without specifically their recent 1oa. Where sabres and rangers fans differ, is just how many pieces beneath lafrenniere should be off limits, and furthermore, how many of these rangers packages with their 5th, 6th best prospects would be A) acceptable and B) the strongest package available.

Sujet: This is What Melody Martin thinks of the Taylor Hall trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mwasylko34</b></div><div>This trade STINKS for Buffalo. i rather have Lazar, cheaper and grittier, good PK and face off guy. If Buffalo retained half they should of at least gotten another pick back. Hall and Lazar for Bjork and 2 2nds. Trade just has no real value to it for Buffalo</div></div>

I thought there was a fair chance we would not get a first, the market is the market and all that. However seeing that at least 3 other players returned firsts, it looks like a pretty big fail. I guess the big question is with bjork, the first thing i saw was from a boston beat writer who said bjork is garbage- too soft for 4th line, not talented enough for 3rd, and he makes 1.6m per for 2 more years. I just saw somebody from new jersey suggesting that their gm loves him, and that he might be something more. Granato has experience with him, which is fine, i guess, if granato as the interim first time nhl coach gets a say in player moves.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>That defense isn't gonna cut it.

Idk what Sabres fans see in William Borgen, dude has 8 NHL games behind his belt, ever, and yet many Sabres fans see him as a significant part of their future.

Am I missing something?</div></div>

Like others have said- he isnt some kid prospect, hes a rhd who is solid in his own zone, something we need more of. The previous gm had 5 rhd on the roster (bogosian, ristolainen, montour, miller, and jokiharju) which blocked borgen (and pilut for that matter). By all accounts, borgen was ready to come up last year but was blocked by (im gonna say some inferior) d in front of him, and these others were not going to be benched so borgen could play. I get the skepticism, my guess is the sabres protect 7-3-1 and lose him over miller in expansion.
