GDT: LIVE NHL Draft 2022, Day 2 -- NO SPOILERS

[Chainshot]

I mean, you don't get DEEP into trade talks before asking the guy if he'll waive

Hey, Dorion seems like he should've learned from the Dadonov situation. Should have. Clearly didn't.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Upon further review, I’m fine with Adin Hill. Wouldn’t pay much but his numbers weren’t as bad as I was led to believe.

 

[Chainshot]

still time to change your mind Matt.

Just for the lol's?

 

[markpenske]

Just for the lol's?

I'll buy him lunch

 

[TheMistyStranger]

At least this should silence the "KA is stupid and wants to play Anderson 82 games next season" talk

You'd think it would, but I bet you'd be wrong, sadly.

 

[Jim Bob]

At least this should silence the "KA is stupid and wants to play Anderson 82 games next season" talk

I literally have never heard or read anyone say that.

 

[WhereAreTheCookies]

Better go with the Spaghetti Parm at Chefs, that or Mulberry's are the only way to close a deal.

But not the “the Pegulas are cheap” talk, because of the salary retention

 

[Chainshot]

Or, you can trade them for wingers that you sign to regrettable long term contracts.

Or trade for guys that blow up the locker room.

Or you can give up a 1st for the wrong goalie.

There are all sorts of landmines when a GM gets impatient.

Or you could gut a ECF team to get six first rounders over two years and wind up dead last as a result. If we play the "don't be Murray" card, I get to play the "don't be Bowman" card.

Given how the last two drafts have gone, I have less concerns on that front from Adams and company.

Minor hyperbole. Go read the Anderson re-signing thread.

It's fair to ask what happens if Barrasso doesn't force his way off the team. Bowman may have been vindicated.

 

[Jim Bob]

Minor hyperbole. Go read the Anderson re-signing thread.

I read all that and nobody said that Anderson was going to play even 40+ games.

It was all about wanting the Sabres to upgrade at the position and bringing back Anderson signaled that a significant upgrade in goal was unlikely.

And there are questions that trading for Murray would give them a reasonable upgrade given his overall poor play and injury history over the past few years.

Everyone knows that Adams will re-sign UPL and acquire two more pro goalies before camp.

The question is how good are those two mystery goalies. This almost trade does not change the optimism about who those two goalies are.

 

[Ace]

I woke up this morning so freaking happy and excited.

now it feels like a Conor Geekie kind of day.

slow…boring…low motivation

 

[Chainshot]

Given how the last two drafts have gone, I have less concerns on that front from Adams and company.

Recency bias? It's not like the Sabres didn't draft TWO OHL MVP's outside of the first round in that era? A Calder winner of their own? Buffalo has some nice picks but that doesn't downplay the risk nor the possibility that "nice" finds still don't work out as good pros.

 

[Rowley Birkin]

I will never forgive Matt Murray

It would only really have been worth it if Nemec or Jiricek slipped to 7.

I have no confidence in Murray as a starting goalie in the NHL.

First page. As I said, it was hyperbole, but look at these and tell me that the attitude about KA/the goalie situation isn't accurate.

"Giant sidestep"

"Punting seasons"

"Continuing down the path of mediocrity"

"No urgency to be better"

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Wait why can’t be just broker a three way trade??? Flip him at 50% of whatever his cap hit is at. f***ing piece of shit!!!!

Well that sucks. Murray’s a bum, you’d think he wouldn’t be so picky.

Disagree. Bob's list is usually within a couple picks. The talent pool +- 2 of 7 is definitely a step ahead of 16.

5 Cutter Gauthier USA U-18 (USHL)
6 David Jiricek Plzen (CZE)
7 Joakim Kemell JYP (SM Liiga)
8 Jonathan Lakkerimaki Djurgardens (SWE J-20)
9 Matt Savoie Winnipeg (WHL)

Because Creighton, Lacombe, Cyr all turned out?

The lessons? That a combination that fixation on one's prospects definitely turning out is as much folly as trying to overcome a bad roster with a barrage of trades, especially for dubious character players.

Well that sucks. Murray’s a bum, you’d think he wouldn’t be so picky.

Sounds like he may go to the Leafs. That'll make things spicy.

 

[Ace]

Adams up next on wgr. Walking into a tough spot with that prescheduled.

 

[truthbluth]

That Georgiev trade is terrible

 

[Chainshot]

Adams up next on wgr. Walking into a tough spot with that prescheduled.

I imagine we'll hear the same rote comments he made in both the combo presser with Fortin and yesterday's "casual" presser upon his arrival in Montreal. If you listen to both back to back, there are a number of phrases he repeated in both.

That Georgiev trade is terrible

For who though?
