EersN'Bills Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Chad's a good bridge backup as Ullmark/Luukkonen develop elsewhere. Did he say anything about Nelson? As still baffled why we kept him in Rochester all year last year unless there were some expansion draft repercussions I wasn't aware of. One has to wonder WHAT IF we never traded Andreychuk for Fuhr and just stuck with Hasek. Even though Toronto and Buffalo were in separate conferences then, and I was probably only 6 months old, it infuriates me that Toronto won that trade. They were one OT away from the Cup Final that year. And I like that Ocho Cinco is coming back here. Good backup.

26CornerBlitz Posted June 29, 2017 Author Posted June 29, 2017 @Russostrib Getting sense there's still lots of trade talk between #mnwild & the #sabres and #bruins. No doubt others, but definitely those two

EersN'Bills Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) You cannot be serious. I don't follow Minnesota, or the offseason really, but wouldn't they be enticed by Mittelstadt being from Minnesota? I just don't know what the value is. Weren't many other Sabres fans (besides myself) wanting to trade #8 for an NHL ready, top-4 defenseman? Edited June 29, 2017 by EersN'Bills

I just don't know what the value is. Weren't many other Sabres fans (besides myself) wanting to trade #8 for an NHL ready, top-4 defenseman? Mittelstadt is going to be a top six core player in the future in the forward corp. Trading him for Scandella isn't going to make the Sabres a contender in 2017-18.
Dr. Who Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Mittelstadt is going to be a top six core player in the future in the forward corp. Trading him for Scandella isn't going to make the Sabres a contender in 2017-18. Agreed. Mittelstadt is a top five pick who fell because he couldn't do a pull up at the combine. Meanwhile, his hockey talent is the same as before the combine. If you don't know hockey, why propose silly trades? Same folks who are in a hurry to get rid of Samson for D help.

Dr. Who Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) unless its for less than $6M, then its Yeah, and I can't see how he comes to the Sabres for less than 7. Edit: Some on the Sabres' boards are suggesting GMJB must have a trade of Bogo worked out if he's taking on Shattenkirk. I would be kinda surprised if he was able to move Bogo's contract and though overpaid, I think he might flourish as a third pair guy in Housley's system. Edited June 29, 2017 by Dr. Who
QCity Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 He's definitely getting 7 years. I would be disappointed in our new GM if he did this, I don't think the guy is worth it.
bbb Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 What would be good value? Reinhart for Brodin or maybe Mittelstadt for Scandella? They need young forwards. You cannot be serious. Get rid of him. He's a bust!
4merper4mer Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 unless its for less than $6M, then its So he will suck less if cheaper?
plenzmd1 Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 So he will suck less if cheaper? fair point...i should have said less than 6 and less than 5 years...and yes i could live with his skill deficiency in his zone for the offense he can provide.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 @Russostrib Still getting indications something's brewing between #mnwild and #sabres involving at least Marco Scandella @TSNBobMcKenzie Marco Scandella heading to BUF from MIN. @TSNBobMcKenzie No trade call done yet but assuming it proceeds without hiccups, it's Pominville and Scandella to BUF, Ennis and Foligno to MIN.

Just got this on GR text...I am good with this. Just looked at contracts $5.6 for two years for Jason...livable for the little extra from Ennis $4.0M for Scandella for 3 more years...awesome!

26CornerBlitz Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 @SabresPR Buffalo has acquired Jason Pominville, Marco Scandella and a 4th (2018) from Minnesota for Tyler Ennis, Marcus Foligno and a 3rd (2018).
