No the "yuck" refers to possibly landing Maroon.Why? What the hell did you think you were going to get for him? A 3rd is really good value.

The first deal was Jillson for Boyes, then Buffalo dealt Brown and Elmre for Jillson. It was listed as a three-way deal, but it was a two-stager. Boston and Buffalo did not deal directly with one another.
McNab-Savard was due to Savard signing as a free agent and McNab was award as compensation to the Bruins. It wasn't a trade.
HOW DARE YOU SAY I'M WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway - as for the McNab deal I always thought that Buffalo and Boston worked out the compensation ( which is why I still consider it more of a trade than anything else ) instead of Buffalo offering McNab and the NHL agreeing with them.
.... I'm treading on 42-year old memories of it as well... where did the time go?
now these are your classic deadline deals of 3rd rounders for an AHL tweener
as a fan of the leafs and someone who hates the Bruins, I find my selves shocked how well their management has been drafting and developing players for the past 3-4 years. They have had an infusion of youth onto their team with strong elite veterans still on the team to support the rookies for when they hit slumps. A couple seasons ago Boston looked like the habs and someone like vatrano would be considered a core piece(or someone who was too valuable to trade way due to lack of young talent). This move will allow the Bruins to go after a rick nash, or Grabner. Smart drafting has helped them retool/rebuild on the go.
Peter McNabb from the Sabres for Andre Savard back in the 70's or early 80's.Buffalo and Boston don't trade
Pretty sure the Paille trade was the only trade between the two teams ever
Peter McNabb from the Sabres for Andre Savard back in the 70's or early 80's.
yup, I was wrong. McNabb was compensation for Sabres signing Savard as a free agent.someone previously debunked that if you go back a couple pages

You'll be waiting a long time...Still waiting for Vatrano to score at a GPG pace in the NHL level.
Put him on Barkov's wing and tell him to be ready to shoot. Then tell him really to be ready. Instant success.
This is so sad. Vatrano has the most potential I've seen in awhile. Constantly thinking... This is the day he is going to break out but was always in the doghouse for lapses.
Best case: Vanek circa buffalo (elite snapshot and high end speed)
Worst case: Dan paille without a brain (he has the tools but got some reason looks lost)
