MarkAF43 Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 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! I don't know much about Scandella, can anyone provide details?
ChevyVanMiller Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I like the trade, if for no other reason than to shake up the status quo. Foligno and Ennis weren't going to be the missing pieces to a Cup win.

plenzmd1 Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I don't know much about Scandella, can anyone provide details? Not a huge offensive player, but very good two player...but injuries are a bit of concern. Left handed shot. Pair him with Risto and let Risto start to show his offensive talents more.

Tiberius Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Defense is looking markedly improved from last season. That's the key take away here I'd say
ChevyVanMiller Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Defense is looking markedly improved from last season. I wonder if the Shattenkirk deal is still on the table for tomorrow?
26CornerBlitz Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 I wonder if the Shattenkirk deal is still on the table for tomorrow? I hope they pass on him. Save that money.
bilzfancy Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I really like what Botterill is doing so far, and he's just getting started
GG Posted June 30, 2017 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). I love this trade
YoloinOhio Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I wonder if the Shattenkirk deal is still on the table for tomorrow?@frank_seravalliBelieve #Sabres were 1 of teams made a pitch to Shattenkirk. Dunno 100% BUF is out, but sense is moved on to Scandella if felt not contender
QCity Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Pommenville and Ennis are basically a wash. We're taking on another $1M in cap hit the next 2 years, but I actually think the guy who will be 35 next year has a better chance at staying healthy than the 27 year old Ennis. So a trade of Foligno for a 2nd pair D that's under a reasonable contract for the next 3 years is a pretty good deal. I guess the one red flag is that Scandella is coming off hip surgery, but it still seems like a safe bet. It's a lot easier to replace a physical grinding winger than it is to acquire a top 4 D.
YoloinOhio Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) I love this trade @jourdonlabarberPominville said his son is already wearing his #Sabres jersey. Never thought about possibility, but excited to be back. @nicholsonhockey McKenzie: "The Montreal Canadiens were in on Scandella. They didn't get him." #Habs #mnwild #Sabres @nhljensen Pominville had same even-str. point total (40) as Kessel, Monahan, Marner despite low S% (7.4) & depth role. Scandella big upgrade. #Sabres Edited June 30, 2017 by YoloinOhio
26CornerBlitz Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 @SabresPR Full audio of Jason Pominville's introductory conference call is now available at the Sabres Digital Press Box. https://t.co/wT0oYo8Nok
Richmond_Bills Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 2 burning questions - 1) will Pommer have any extra letters on the front of his jersey? 2) Will McCabe give him his # back?

26CornerBlitz Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 @JourdonLaBarber Botterill said he likes Scandella's 2-way game. Reach, mobility will help on PK and expects him to contribute on offense. @SabresPR Full audio of Jason Botterill's 3:30 p.m. conference call is now available at the Sabres Digital Press Box. https://t.co/2dQw2CzPYb
K-9 Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Defense is looking markedly improved from last season. That should happen when you replace half of them. Now they don't have to rush Guhle, who is tailor made for Housley's game.
