26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Why would the Sabres want Legwand? He is awful CBF Legwand resides in Donesville now. Taking Legwand is doing Ottawa a favor. I don't get this deal at all unless there is something else coming back from the Sens. Edited June 26, 2015 by 26CornerBlitz
Dante Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Why would the Sabres want Legwand? He is awful CBF Maybe they had to take him as part of the deal. Salary dump for sure
26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 I hate this trade with a passion! @TSNBobMcKenzie BUF-OTT trade call done. Official: Lehner and Legwand for 21st overall pick. BUF takes all of Legwand's contract. #TSN @BuffaloSabres TRADE: The #Sabres have acquired @RobinLehner & David Legwand from @Senators in exchange for 21st overall pick in 2015 #NHLDraft (from NYI).

C.Biscuit97 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 If I'm a GM, I try to get as many picks as possible. As much as we pretend like the draft is a science, it's a crap shoot. Sometimes, you get lucky. Personally, I would have just drafted a goalie.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I guess he wanted a goalie who could start now as opposed to 2-3 years from now CBF
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I guess he wanted a goalie who could start now as opposed to 2-3 years from now CBF You're right. But I think goalies are completely overrated now, so I won't waste a 1st round pick on one that isn't a star. Corey Crawford is not good and has 3 Cups.

Corey Crawford is not good and has 3 Cups. I agree 100% I think a 1st round pick was too much and that they probably could have had the same deal for a 2nd round pick CBF

Personally, I would have just drafted a goalie. You do know that goalies rarely play immediately in the NHL, right? When you draft a goalie, you're looking at 3-4 years down the road in most instances.

K-9 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I fully expect Murray to trade the #2 pick to Ottawa as well. Timmy wants the Ottawa job when uncle Bryan steps down. He needs to gum up our works as much as possible before leaving. Sabotage is the only excuse I can accept because I can't believe Murray is stupid. Just a bad trade all the way around.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 @BuffaloSabres Official news release with details: #Sabres acquire Lehner, Legwand in deal with @Senators. http://goo.gl/CDBQuV I fully expect Murray to trade the #2 pick to Ottawa as well.

Might as well "throw in" Reinhart, Risto, and Girgensons too.
thebandit27 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I wonder if they spoke extensively with Irbe and asked him which goalie would be the best fit for the style he teaches...suppose they did that, and Lehner was the answer, would that change anyone's opinion? Just wondering aloud.

K-9 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Step away from the ledge and let the day play out. Geez. I prefer to engage in some hyperbolic criticism instead. But I'm sure there are others who may need saving. Glad you are here for them.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 I guess he wanted a goalie who could start now as opposed to 2-3 years from now CBF Murray better hope like hell Lehner recaptures the form that he showed in the 2012-13 season. @SunGarrioch David Legwand excited to go Buffalo. “It’s a team that’s going in the right direction with Mr. Pegula. (continued) ... They’re putting the pieces in place to have an organization that’s going to win for a long time,” said Legwand. #Sens (continued) “Tim Murray has done a good job building up draft picks and the prospects. “Now it’s time to go in there and give them a chance to win.” @DaveDavisHockey Got text from NHL scout who says Lehner is "a terrific young goalie", reminds him of Olaf Kolzig. "Definitely the best goalie Ottawa had."
