the 1st - I think its only a matter of time before Murray moves that other 1st as well, he wants talent, and is willing to buy it - overall; whatever its a pick
Lemieux - prospect whose still probably 2-3 years from the NHL, a guy Murray was willing to trade at the draft last year and couldn't find any takers for the pick - overall; meh for a guy that a month ago was overwhelmingly considered a third liner swapping him from Kane doesn't bother me in the least... however
Armia - at his ceiling, I think he's Evander Kane, but Kane is already Evander Kane and Armia is also probably 2 years from his peak - overall; if it was just Armia, fine, you give up a prospect, but him and Lemieux, woulda been nice to keep a little bit more in the chamber
Stafford - UFA, was gone anyway, don't really care about getting another 2nd whose years away from the NHL - overall; fine
Myers - uggg, condor goes bye-bye, after watching him blow the doors off in his rookie year, then slip into ****sville, then move back up to be a decent top pairing defender is pretty hard on the stomach - overall; hurts to lose the big guy, I didn't expect him to become a 40pnt player, maybe a 25 pnt guy on the top line who we scratch our heads over every now and then, but who he is someone I wanted
Bogo - I'll go back to something Jame said when discussing Myers and Sekera, I'm looking for someone who can play shutdown minutes and drive some possession, well you got all those aspects of Myers back in Bogosian but lost the rush aspect - overall; swapping Myers/Bogo doesn't change the long term plan, Risto eventually takes over the #1 role, makes us worse in the short term
Kane - big, 2-way, penalty killing, top 6 forward, with a 30 goal season, and despite the complaints about him being 'demoted' to the third line he's averaging 19mins a night and almost 20mins over his last 5 game - overall; I've often pondered who Reinhart is going to be setting up for the next decade, we now have one of the most prolific shooters in the NHL, who also is probably pretty pissed off at his now former team, lets hope he channels that into his on ice performance
Goalie - hes a goalie, organizational depth if Lieuwen's career is over?
Murray gets 2 players he's wanted since their draft years, and Myers was the best Sabres sent back, Myers was in my 'core' list, but he was probably the last 1 on that list, now Kane is in his place - overall; meh, expensive deal, chance to make either/both/neither GM look bad, will miss Armia, looks like we got ourselves a hockey trade folks
