Just got this text. Weird timing, but sure. Had too many dmen in Rochester, and would like some picks back from the Skinner deal. I like it.

Fire Botterill!

How many seventh round picks would you need to trade for one first?

 

[MackAttack26]

He won't meet those conditions, so basically just to get rid of him. No room for him really down there anyways though, best of luck in Texas.

 

[Ace]

The condition is probably him playing nhl games so I wouldn’t worry about figuring it out

Good point by Kris Baker on twitter...also fress up one of 50 contract spots. Could be useful.

Thank you, six defensemen injured between Dallas/Texas.. needed some people to play

Come to our gameday thread today after face off and you’ll be offered five by the end of the first period.

Botterills idea of good will in the NHL:

"You get a defensemen and you get a defensemen and you ALL GET FREE DEFENSEMEN"

I looked around for a bit and I think there’s a 2-3% chance to get a top 4 d-man/top 6 forward with a 7th round pick. A low first is probably around 20-30% Thing is you probably have a clear idea about who to pick in the first round while the 7th round is very muddy.

Crazy random thought but any chance getting rid of Fedun deal let’s Redmond get signed?

I don't see any point to that. The Sabres don't have any shortage of defensemen that would require Redmond in the NHL and there really isn't any other reason to sign him to an NHL deal. It's more about just having too many vet defensemen, and trying to clear out a body.
Like the only other angle is see is maybe Hunwick is back soon, in which case they'll still have a logjam of vet AHL defensemen (assuming Hunwick goes down - which he should), but it'll be less of a mess without Fedun in the mix than with him.

Tick tock... Fedun is at 22 games played for the Stars.

I can almost taste it..

Liked Fedun when he was up with the team last year.

I don't want to know what 7th round pick tastes like. I'm assuming curried disappointment.

 

[RecycledEichel]

It's happening!

 

[Gabrielor]

If it stays steady, the pick is ours after the 1/17 game. Gotta watch for that

It tastes like VO!!!!!

My comment in the gameday thread about Fedun caused a bump in a very old thread and thus inspired hope in others, hopefully this is the butterfly effect needed for me to hit the powerball tomorrow!

Seagrams VO? Reminds me of college so I'll take it...
