Recap of recent rumors and activity:
- RUMOR: Mirtle reports Halak to MIN is "close"
- RUMOR: Darren Millard is hearing Moulson to PHX for Yandle
- TRADE: Mike Weaver traded to MTL for 2015 5th

Yandle for Moulson would pretty much be robbery for the Sabres. Yandle keeps us at the cap floor next year, keeps a 2013 draft pick in Rochester or juniors, and returns us a 2015 first rounder next year at the deadline.

That said, I'd be shocked if it happened.

Finally something to be excited about!

We would obviously have to add. What would you add?

doubtful...

Yandle could easily get a 1st, you must be joking.

So then why would Phoenix trade him to us for Moulson

I'm so confused

They need scoring for a playoff push?

I am not.

I don't think contending teams (those willing to trade 1st rounders) would do so for a massive defensive liability.

And the fact that Phoenix has been trying to deal him for over a year supports that...

Moulson price settling in at a first and a mid level prospect. Debate over which year for the first happening now.

a 50 point defensemen doesn't provide scoring?

A 2 time all star player who is 27 years old? Come on now...

 

[Myllz]

Can't wait to see how much Murray ends up unloading.

GMs are smarter than that

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Trade for Yandle while his value is low, transition him to LW...profitization. j/k

 

[EichHart]

To show you Yandles value I believe Sean Couturier for Yandle was almost completed over the summer unless I was just hearing things.

‏@brianlawton9

Don't be surprised if Kesler ends up in CHI via a blind three way deal....... Lot going on behind scenes on this one!

 

[haseoke39]

I don't know, because I don't really want Yandle. He doesn't help the Sabres long-term plan. He'd just be an acceptable boon if he was offered as an overpayment for Moulson.

But if we imagine that Moulson gets us a 2015 first at the deadline and Yandle does the same thing next year, then I don't know how much value I really ascribe to that year of Yandle. Probably very little.

I'll take the deal if Phoenix wants to be stupid, but I'm not going to go adding much to Moulson to get it done, because It doesn't get us closer to our goal.

Finding it hard to take that guy seriously since he is claiming MIN wants BUF to retain part of Halak's salary, which they cannot do.

 

[EichHart]

Paul Gaustad got a 1st.

 

[dire wolf]

So then why would Phoenix trade him to us for Moulson

I'm so confused

Because Moulson is thought to get a 1st+ ?

 

[Fly Boy]

I actually a big fan of the way/order Murray is selling off pieces. I think hes saving Moulson for last. Deal Halak now and theres probably the framework in place for a Stewart deal to OTT.

If you wait to trade Moulson until tomorrow after the likes of Vanek have been dealt you could see the leftover teams from the west panic and overpay thinking they have to make a move. He could potentially bring in even more than expected if hes the last major peice to be moved tomorrow.

If we get another 2015 1st I'm booking my plane ticket to Miami for 2015 right now.

Wasn't this the guy who said the Sabres weren't likely to trade Miller by the deadline, and were instead working on an extension? Or was he getting that info from Patty?
