That’d be a great jersey. What number to you think Considerations wears?

I didn't say you weren't allowed. I just don't understand it.

I, like everyone else, want to see something substantial. It's not the actual trade, it's the context of the trade at the deadline when there are some holes to fill.

Well if the Future Considerations are a player on an AHL deal for Roch that does fill a hole.

Is this the return?

 

[WhereAreTheCookies]

Is this the return?

Well I guess I had the right Idea with Clendening, local guy.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

He is from Orchard Park

KA stocking Rochester

Dude. You know I'm talking about the NHL roster.

Seems like it. From Orchard Park.

Rough and tumble center, it looks like?

Nice polish guy from the soutowns.

 

[Grouch]

Adams has staff that helps him with trades and stuff (like Karmanos). He has the ability to do multiple things at once.

Just not the desire

Right, but it's an unrealistic expectation to trade Anders Bjork, an NHL-contract player no-one wanted for free when exposed to waivers to assign to the AHL, for an actual NHL talent who could help BUF at the NHL level. Especially when this Stillman nobody cost a 3rd rounder instead of future considerations.

Edit: Deadline hasn't arrived yet. You (we) may get your (our) wish still... (Stillman)

In some countries that means toilet.

..... and they had plenty of time to focus on this stuff since they weren't doing anything more important.

Are we playing the telephone game?

I know Rochester needs centers but this must be a money saving move as well right? Bjork might have been to expensive to keep for the team...

I mean, we don't know the intent, but the AHL salary they got back IS much less than the NHL salary they sent to Chicago.

Dat guy der.

 

[Sabre the Win]

We saved this guy over Borgen and now he's gone for future considerations and Borgen is exactly what we need.

 

[Chainshot]

Because time is being spent on them at a prime time to improve the NHL club. These piddle deals could be done anytime of the year.

It's also possible this was done a while ago and they were just waiting for the deadline because it was known Chicago was going to be moving a number of NHL contracts so they would need bodies to play out the season. Bjork gets to be close to home as a Wisconsin lad, gets to try to show he belongs in the NHL somewhere, and gets 20-odd games of NHL pay while Chicago doesn't have to rupture their entire AHL team lineup to backfill the forwards they have traded.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

We saved this guy over Borgen and now he's gone for future considerations and Borgen is exactly what we need.

Different positions. I forget the exact breakdown, but they had to protect a certain number of forwards and a certain number of D-men. They didn't really have that many forwards worth keeping though, hence Bjork. But if they didn't protect Bjork, they would have needed to protect a different forward, not Borgen.

They chose Ristolainen for one of the three D-men spots over Borgen. Which proved a good thing, given the trade return for Risto was insane and way more than what Borgen is worth.
