I agree, I want the quality more than anything. That should be the case at any time.

If teams were after him I'd rather trade him for the best possible offer.
Then overpay in free agency on a 1 year deal to someone we can unload at the deadline.

Something about getting a new player that everyone wants to give him a shot... I don't want Stewart anywhere near this team, and I think he's pretty much the definition of a player Sabres fans would not like after five games.
Maybe, MAYBE Ted Nolan could get him to play harder. But for Teddy to get a guy with constant character questions and who was one of the laziest players on the ice for the best team, and all of a sudden turn him into a hard-working power forward on the worst team would be a miracle. I keep seeing how "he's a good scorer", where has he been doing that exactly? In 09-10 he had a fantastic year with the Avs and as someone who watches a lot of their games I liked him a lot at the time. That was four years ago. He averages 44 points/82 in his 211 games with the Blues, and if you take out his near PPG in his first 26 games after the trade, it's around 40 points/82.
Also worth mentioning... look at who his 15 goals have come against this year. Panthers, Habs(twice), Avalanche (twice), Stars, Leafs, Blue Jackets, Senators (twice), Oilers (four times), and the Flames. Nine of those 15 have come against bottom ten teams in the league.
Ted certainly doesn't have a system like Hitchcock, but I'd say they preach hard work and a 200-foot game a lot. Stewart did not fit that system at all - going as far as being a healthy scratch in last year's playoffs. He's a talented player who possesses good size, a good shot and a pretty fast skater for his size, but he rarely, if ever, puts all those tools together and has consistent production. I really hope he's on the fast track out of Buffalo.

As much as I don't hate the idea of keeping Stewart until next deadline, I'd rather trade him now because he should be worth more with that extra bit of term left on his contract.

7 and 9 are horrible for us unless those prospects from San Jose are all- world types that I dont know about.
I'd say the closest is probably Stewart to Ottawa for Puempel and Greening. The Moulson/Ehrhoff to San Jose is pretty bad IMO.
Hi everyone, first time poster long time reader. Just want to say I'm very happy with the moves yesterday. I think Murray finally got the deal he wanted and it was a very fair deal for both sides. It seemed that deal meant the most to this organization off his back now the fireworks can really start. That being said we still have some nice pieces to move so he can really put his own stamp on this team. It is really exciting to be a sabres fan and I'm glad we are finally moving forward in this rebuild.
The Minnesota trade favors Buffalo
I don't like the Calgary trade
I don't like the San Jose trade
The Ottawa trade is OK
I don't like the Anaheim trade

Lol.....I could see Prince potentially getting moved to Buffalo depending on how Timmer views him.
Not sure, you could post that question on the Ottawa forum....they are pretty cool there.
