I'll be shocked if the Sabres make any trades...

[Ebenezer]

With all the injuries they have suffered this week I will be shocked if the Sabres will make any trades...I don't even know if they CAN make any trades. To have gotten something of value they would have had to trade Biron and probably a prospect or two...at this point those prospects are playing for the parent club. That leaves Biron...what would a team be willing to give the Sabres for a G who will be an UFA at season's end? Combine that with the fact that teams will try to scalp the Sabres because they know the Sabres need positional players and are desperate sellers I doubt the Sabres will even get any reasonable offers.

I don't see any trades unless they basically cast off Biron to get some cap relief.

you're on....I'll even give you 2:1...except in the case of dumping Biron for prospects and salary relief.

yeah, he's a local guy finally home he's from Clarence, NY

Re: I'll be shocked if the Sabres make any trades...

Adams would be ok I guess. I would prefer they go for it though and bring in a difference maker.

Then don't be shocked if the Sabres get knocked out of the playoffs without achieving the ultimate goal.

Im with you they are good, but they need some grit. With the GM meetings starting monday this is darcy's chance to make a deal. It all hinges on Marty they need his 2.3 mil salary gone. With all the Gm's in a room who knows what may happen.

Re: I'll be shocked if the Sabres make any trades...

but why would any team trade and help the Sabres when Biron is basically rent-a-goalie?? the Sabres are injured prey right now...nobody is going to hand over a decent player - they will want a king's ransom.

Your not going to get a good roster player for Biron. Your looking for Picks and Prospects that the sabres could use as chips in aquiring "rental player" player(s) The biggest obsticle here is how picky is darcy going to be in who he trades Biron to. Do you risk trading him to Tampa Bay who is dwelling in the ranks of a possible first round contender. Maybe Detriot, Dom's due for a groin injury. To your point about the sabres being injuried pray, any team that would interested in Biron probally would need him as much as we need to unload him. You don't rent a player unless you feel he can give you a boost in the postseason. The rent a player issues could also be settled the same way Calgary did with the Stewart trade. A conditional pick in next years draft that elevates if he doesn't resign with the club. St. Louis, Columbus, Florida's philly's of the world are looking for Picks and prospects. Sabres do have some, but they can't use them without the cap space. Marty's value is the cap space he is taking up.

Bull****. Good goaltending is the biggest differencemaker there can be going into the playoffs. Biron is an above average legitimate starting goaltender in this league. Anyone that thinks there aren't going to be any teams willing to give up something of good value for him is nuts.

I agree, the only reason why i think Biron won't get us the player straight up is because of his UFA status. Most sellers are teams that have alot of building to do, and are not looking for a older goal tender. They want to go young and cheap. Marty's value in my mind lies with teams who are close to making a run, but are weak in goal tending. Colorado, Tampa, Detriot "Hasek is having a great season, but we all know his history". There is a market for marty. Should get picks, and Prospects for Biron then use them to land a desired player.

Right on Church.

Re: I'll be shocked if the Sabres make any trades...

If Buffalo were to shop Marty they would be seen as a desperate seller...they would also have to get a G back in the process (you going to trust Adam Dennis behind Miller?)...if will be very hard to move him for much of anything.

Re: I'll be shocked if the Sabres make any trades...

I don't by that at all. There are going to be some desperate buyers out there for a topflight goalie also, believe that.
