http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/27/sabres-gm-murray-i-got-a-trade-call-on-a-player-i-never-thought-i-would-get/

so, logical thinking would say a player having a really **** season or someone with little to no value.

my guess is cody hodgson.

BUT! it also could be a coveted young player that no GM would think to ask for, ALA samson reinhart. what do you guys think?

[Dr. Lecter]

I think if it was Hodgson, it would take him less time to make the trade than it did for me to type this.

"a 7th round pick for him with no salary retention? Well, if you insist...."

Considering he was willing to talk about the guy, makes me eliminate Zemgus and Risto and probably Samson

Maybe Bogosian?

[OpIv37]

Cody? That would be a surprise given that he's been a healthy scratch several times this month.

[don137]

If it was Cody I think he would gone already. I think it was Benoit or Mezaros.

Risto

My guess would be Evander Kane and/or Zadorov. As it was well documented that a lot of teams wanted Kane and I wouldn't be shocked if they still want him and they'll do anything to pry him away from his. Yet the more "surprising" thought would be Zadorov as he's a young talented player that think most be shocked be traded yet GMs are like sharks and they smell blood and imagination some GM thought it be wise to see if the suspension might mean we have ill feelings of the youngster and might want to move him.

This is such a sad quote....LOL




“I had a call like that today that I never thought I would get on a guy,” Murray explained. “He actually said, ‘Can you believe I’m calling you on this guy?’
“I said, ‘No, I can’t. But let’s talk.'”

Zad has been discussed in talks before due to the suspension. So I don't think it's him. And the wording makes it sound like it's over a disappointing player. My money is on hodgson. The reason I think he's hesitant to trade him is there's hope maybe he can bounce back?

It's not Kane because he's hurt. The only way an opposing GM would propose a surprising trade is immediate need.

I can see Karma beating this franchise in the head with a hockey stick, If not Karma, Bettman will.


Thanks to the Sabres, Not only is the lotto here to stay, But the first 3 picks will be up for grabs starting in 2016.

Thanks, Obama.

Maybe the GM was calling and offering a player Murray never thought he would be up for trade. Patrick Kane for Sabres top pick?

We've been over this, but the Sabres aren't the first team to do this.

But continue to live in fantasy land

If you're going to do something, Might as well be the best...

Fantasies is what keeps Buffalo sports going, With out it, what would you have?? :snooze:

Now that the deadline has come and gone, I'm betting the player inquired about was Reinhart.

Arizona traded for Duclair. Apparently they want to put Duclair back together with Domi... his linemate from the WJCs. His other linemate?

Samson Reinhart.

[Downinfloflo]

I think that's what helped the Rangers land Yandle,

Glen struck a day early, And the Domi, Duclair history was something Maloney really liked, I think if Glen would have waited a day, They would have been outbid.

With all the teams looking for that position, 7 first round picks in 2015 were traded, So you know teams were not gun shy.

Glens been trying for 3 years to get him...I hope Duclair works out for them, In Arizona he will get more playing time, And a better shot to show what he can do.

Like most kids, His weakness is his defense, He's a hell of a skater with some crazy speed, Little on the small side, Pure sniper!!

The way I see it, Rangers got Duclair in the 50% off bin at the dollar store, So if you can use him to get a top notch NHL offensive dman you do it.

Hayes made Duclair expendable, And the team is higher on that Pavel Buchnevich kid.


A fast skatinghttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png (http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/pavel-buchnevich/#) forward with a good set of hands, Buchnevich is a very interesting prospect with an impressive ceiling. Not so big at 6'0", 170 pounds, the Cherepovets, Russia native makes things happen with his speed and skills. Buchnevich is indeed a player who has the ability to entartain the public with his skating and stickhandling abilities. On the other hand, he has still a lot to do before considering himself ready to cross the Atlantic. First, he needs to add some meat to his frame, then he has to improve his defensive game and play a more cohesive game. Buchnevich is a good playmaker and has very good vision of the ice.

I think they are a bit higher on him because he played with grown men in the KHL this year as a 19 year old kid..

He should be here in a few weeks.

especially college hockey.

Here's an interesting thought... someone above the 3 tank teams wins the McDavid lotto, pushing Arizona to the 4th overall selection.

Arizona calls Buffalo and offers the 4th overall pick and another pick or prospect in exchange for Reinhart... thereby uniting the WJC line that was so successful.

depending on what the "and" is in addition to the 4th overall... I'd consider it.

I'm not so sure. Reinhart has been getting glowing reviews recently. I believe the hockey news just named him the best non NHL prospect.

Getting Strome and another high pick or prospect is worth considering.

He was named the best prospect that is in a team's system. Based on everything I've heard, there are 3-5 guys in this year's draft valued more than anybody in last year's draft.

[coastal]

What's the cost to move up from 4 to 2?

I have Samson pegged as the future number 2 guy. If moving him got us Strome.... I like Strome. Big guy with skill.

[SpikedLemonade]

This year it would be prohibitive. Draft picks alone (even for a number of years) would not do it.

My guess it would take a swap of the 4 and 2 pick, next three year's 1st round picks and a young 1st line or 1st pair NHL player.

You are basically trading away Eichel.

Last year's 2 pick. Not buffalo trading the number 2 This year.

[SpikedLemonade]

Last year's 2 pick. Not buffalo trading the number 2 This year.

I doubt anyone trades this year's 4th overall for who the Sabres drafted 2nd overall last year straight up.

If a particular GM covets him, which is pure speculation, but it might be the other way around. Reinhart is quite coveted.
