Buffalo just makes me laugh. What are you doing?

 

[thadd]

Wouldn't he have returned a 2nd or a 1st 2 years ago? Man. What a low return. It's not even this year's draft. Nuts.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Weird, no?

[FreeMcdavid]

Sabres are going to catch Toronto. book it

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

A 5th round pick?

Oof.

 

[belair]

Botterill is so fired.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

... I also fall into the "but why?" category here.

 

[snipes]

Botterill saw the Leafs embarrass themselves against a 42 year old beer league Zamboni driver and thinks he can make a run.

The Sabres aren’t that far behind the Leafs.

Still a somewhat peculiar move.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

And the most random trade of the day goes to... Buffalo!

 

[domiwroze]

Man, everything about the Sabres makes me laugh so hard.

Wtf is Botterill doing

 

[Merrrlin]

I am willing to give this a couple weeks since it's only a 5th and there is retention, but I just don't really get it.

 

[Djp]

Why are the Sabres adding rentals? Even though the Panthers and Leafs have played like garbage, they are still much better than the Sabres.

Debatable...

Buffalo is 8 behind Toronto with 2 games in hand for 3rd

[Commander Clueless]

BUF about to flip him.

The ole double retain!

 

[Imnotagoodposter]

Man, Skinner - O’Reilly - Simmonds would be a sick line

 

[BillPrep]

dear gawd,

thank you!!!

love,
a Pens fan

 

[uncleben]

A fifth? That’s it. That sucks.

What was looking like a seller's market for a bit is turning into a buyer's market. Lots of mid round picks.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Buffalo makes me laugh. . . Such a pointless move

 

[domiwroze]

Confirms that Buffalo is going for it !

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Has Wayne Simmonds fallen that far? When he was in Philly people were asking for a 1st with no salary retained.

 

[Flyer lurker]

so Derek Grant is more valuable than Wayne Simmons. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

 

[CupofOil]

Botterill is loading up.

For a 10th place finish.

He can play with Lazar and Frolik to complete the Warshed Wingers line
