Wow what a fleecing.

That could have been our GM but we playin games.

 

[Curufinwe]

Remember when Chris Johnston said they just wanted one decent piece? :lol

I don't get peoples fascination with Myers. He looks like absolute dog shit, I don't think putting him in Winnipeg is going to change that.

He's played as well as Bogosian has while getting much harder minutes.

 

[Zombie James]

That trade would be a massive win for Winnipeg.

 

[lamaroo]

Fuck off Buffalo.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Kane could of been a Hab...

 

[Red_Man]

Dreger making it sound like it's more or less happening. Buffalo is going to be a monster soon, this is shitty. They're giving up a hell of a lot for him though.

1st round pick Jets acquire will be lowest of 3 of the Sabres picks. Very complicated trade. Sounds like an unsigned player from Peg as well

NHL15 trade man...

I got was able to get Bogo for our 3rd string prospect goalie and a first.

 

[Merguson]

Lupul absent from practice.

Probably out a month. Again.

 

[imBask]

Kane could of been a Hab...

Fuck off Buffalo.

erhg no thanks, Crescent street would've been renamed "Evander Kane street" within a year

 

[bonesmccoy]

This seems like a better trade for Peg than for Buffalo.

 

[Spl1nter]

Leafs now must win the draft so we can compete with the future Sabres powerhouse.

 

[Cactus]

Wow, Bogo's cap hit is over 5m? Yikes.

Lupul absent from practice.

Probably out a month. Again.

I'm hoping he can stay healthy until the deadline, but maybe that's too much to ask.

 

[zroid]

Sabres are going to have McDavid/Eichel + Reinhart + Girgensons + Grigorenko at C

+ Kane?

fuck thaaaat

 

[Zombie James]

Lupul absent from practice.

Probably out a month. Again.

The guy's missed a season and a half worth of games since joining the Leafs, it's nuts.

 

[Red_Man]

Sabres are going to have McDavid/Eichel + Reinhart + Girgensons + Grigorenko at C

+ Kane?

fuck thaaaat

Grigorenko will probaby be moved, he's not a 4th line center, and he's not replacing any of those other guys.

 

[Razorskin]

They call me Mr. Glass...

 

[zroid]

Grigorenko will probaby be moved, he's not a 4th line center, and he's not replacing any of those other guys.

you're likely right but the point stands! their centre depth going forward is insane

 

[Red_Man]

done deal. God damn it.

 

[calder]

omg omg omg.

A lot of kinda conflicting or incomplete reports so I can't have an opinion yet.

But I will be THRILLED if Chevy sorts out the RHD glut by trading Bogo. THRILLED I SAY.

 

[GSG Flash]

Done deal according to Dreger

 

[MetatronM]

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 3m3 minutes ago

Unsigned goalie, Jason Kasdorf also goes to Sabres in trade. Done deal.

 

[gaming_noob]

Winnipeg fleeced Buffalo IMO.

 

[zroid]

WELP

man Buffalo is going to be a nightmare soon

 

[indigo-cyclops]

A fucking goalie GAF

 

[lamaroo]

erhg no thanks, Crescent street would've been renamed "Evander Kane street" within a year

Even if Montreal had no chance, we don't need a division rival like Buffalo acquiring players like Kane to play with their future franchise centre.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

done deal. God damn it.

ITS A DONE DEAL?!?

 

[Red_Man]

Looks like Winnipeg wins this one, but Buffalo has the resources and needs a player like Kane to compliment their centers, so it works for both teams. Hopefully this is the start of more player movement.

 

[MetatronM]

Amazing how that went from "Winnipeg will deal with Evander Kane over the summer but Buffalo is trying anyway" to "LOL done deal" in like 2 hours.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Wow Buffalo... but I will say, offensively, they look a lot better up front. They have 2 high 1sts, getting McDavid (probably) having Kane and then another offensive guy with the other 1st and so on. Not too bad. Also, they now have another goalie in the system.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Now for that Leafs Fire sale.....

 

[ActStriker]

Buffalo of all teams?

 

[Razorskin]

Can't turn away an offer that good.

 

[Calamari41]

BTW here is

's insane crosscheck to McQuaid's face: http://www.gfycat.com/PossibleIdealisticHound

He cares so goddamn much it hurts.

Poor Roussel, doesn't know his own strength

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Now for that Leafs Fire sale.....

Doesn't that mean blaming it on the coach and not on the players?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

How many players did Winnipeg get?

 

[calder]

Chevy popped his trade cherry by hitting up an orgy.

 

[Montresor]

Byfuglien and Myers on the same blue line. Fuck me Winnipeg is awesome.

 

[zroid]

The tank is strong with Tim Murray

 

[MetatronM]

Can't turn away an offer that good.

Indeed. Just goes to show just how good a deal Winnipeg must think it is for them that they jumped right on it.

If anything, you would think in Buffalo they'd be a little wary of why they were so willing to take the deal so quickly.

 

[DopeyFish]

Byfuglien and Myers on the same blue line. Fuck me Winnipeg is awesome.

Shame they lose a PF

But... Yeah.

3 big names in a trade ... One of the largest blockbuster trades we will likely ever see

 

[Red_Man]

Kind of hope Buffalo loses the lottery now. I don't want them getting McDavid or Eichel.

 

[DopeyFish]

They are likely guaranteed one or the other

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Armia and Lemieux are two legit offensive prospects for Winnipeg too. Armia could become a 20+30 type of a guy, while Lemieux could be a nasty 25 goal scorer.

 

[calder]

Hearing rumours that it's not all done yet, that the Jets got Myers in order to flip him to... Detroit.

Crazed, prepare to have your ridiculously stocked farm system raided.

 

[zroid]

they're basically guaranteed at least Eichel though. no way anyone else finishes below them in the standings.

 

[Fei]

Buffalo loses the trade if you believe in Tyler Myers. I don't, so I'm happy with this.

 

[DopeyFish]

Armia and Lemieux are two legit offensive prospects for Winnipeg too. Armia could become a 20+30 type of a guy, while Lemieux could be a nasty 25 goal scorer.

And depending on the playoffs, that 1st can be a huge get in this deep of a draft

Myers to the Wings? I wonder who for man this deal was seriously good for jets.

 

[Red_Man]

A lot of teams in the East are becoming power houses, Toronto getting left in the dust.

 

[Kave_Man]

I hate our fucking division.

Everyone is either getting stacked with young prospects or they're already beasts.

And then there's the Leafs, wallowing away in bullshit.
