In front of Bobmontour and yandle in the lineup at the same time, maybe not a great strategy.
They'll set records

Best post I’ve seen in quite a while. Bravo.I know he hasn't been good in Buffalo, but judging a hockey player by how they've played in Buffalo is like judging a fish on how well they climb a tree.
Montour seems like a worse version of Matheson.
Stupid trade, big W for Buffalo.
Yandle, Stralman, and Montour!!!!!
Way to offer perspective to any of us groupthinking Sabres fans or hfboard members alike.1) Acquire promising young RFA defensemen.
2) play defensemen on his offside the majority of his tenure and pair him with a revolving door of partners.
3)After tanking his value, trade him for a third round pick.
I can’t even make this stuff up. I feel terrible for Sabres fans. They deserve better from their management.
He's better than Matheson, although he's not gonna be anything of significance in replacing the loss of Ekblad. It keeps Stralman out of the top 6 basically.

Tremendous add for the Panthers. Realy one of the best target of the deadline
Nah no he's not.
Montour wasn't that good before the Sabres acquired him and the Sabres proceeded to absolutely ruin him after.
He’s not. He’s arguably worse because he is an offensive only guy too.
Where as hypothetically when Matheson isn’t turning over the puck he can play defense and still produces better than Montour at 5v5.

you guys are funny with your need to jump in and constantly defend the Matheson trade. Montour can be let go after this season, Matheson was here for half a decade still, so even if he is worse or just as bad, we still moved out an awful contract. And a shit player.
What? He was definitely good before the Sabres acquired him. Maybe I haven't seen enough of Math this season, but from what I've seen he's been painfully average. I still have night terrors from his Florida days.
Eh I think the Matheson comparisons don’t matter: Matheson was a mess here and needed a change of scenery.I’ll look forward to Cats fans and their takes on Montour when they actually watch him.
He was a player I wanted us to target from the Ducks. He plays more questionable than Matheson in the d-zone and is less skilled not in the o-zone. He does have a canyon of a shot.

We need a shot on our D right now, we don’t have any with Hoff down. Our first PP is suffering a lot and I definitely would prefer playing Montour at the point instead of Wennberg
Matheson had a bad contract but was just putrid that last season: something like the first eight goals against us by the Islanders involved him screwing up.I think both Matheson and Montour have a useful role.
I just think it’s funny Cats fans dunk on Matheson and then don’t see the parallels.
Same thing happened on the Pens board this summer. Tons of posters wanted Montour then dunked on the Matheson acquisition.
Granted Matheson’s contract is awe inspiring.
He stunk before he went to Buffalo.

yeah, you just have to let him play his game, skate the puck out, join the rush, be aggressive through the nz. let him go, if you try to saddle him and play a safe dzone first style he's gonna hurt ya. Might as well gain some positives with the derps vs just wandering in his own end.I mean, he's better than Colin Miller. That's way too low a bar to be a compliment, but you could do worse.
Fits FLA's style of play with his ability to find those fast lanes on breakouts. Passes or skating it up. His d-side of the game does not fit anybody's style of play really but that's how NHL is rolling today. I mean 4F - 1D basically.
Adds a lot to their offense and takes some minutes off of Yandle with slightly better defense. I guess this is an ok add with potential to become a nice add. More needed though.
how many leaps of assumptions with no evidence did it take to come to that conclusion?
