The Official 2015 Trade Deadline Thread -- Sellers, Buyers and Tanking Losers

[SpikedLemonade]

A place where we can discuss trades today, tonight and tomorrow.

[casdhf]

Is every other post going to be about the dishonest horrible Sabres making a mockery of the league?

[SpikedLemonade]

Brian Flynn traded to the Habs for a 2016 5th round pick.

Ohhhhhhhhh, the potential of that pick.

[ckg927]

Toronto & Detroit are talking on a deal that would involve....Dion Phaneuf.

[SpikedLemonade]

Toronto & Detroit are talking on a deal that would involve....Dion Phaneuf.

If Toronto does not keep back at least $1.5M/yr of that contract, Detroit gets ripped off.

[ckg927]

D Zbynek Michalek from Arizona to St. Louis, pending a trade call(per Bob McKenzie).

[ckg927]

If Toronto does not keep back at least $1.5M/yr of that contract, Detroit gets ripped off.

Wouldn't surprise me if Toronto keeps quite a bit of the money.

[SpikedLemonade]

Wouldn't surprise me if Toronto keeps quite a bit of the money.

Dion is at best a $5M/yr 3rd or 4th D on a decent team.

[ckg927]

Dion is at best a $5M/yr 3rd or 4th D on a decent team.

Toronto is reported looking to get Wings D Brendan Smith, per Ken Campbell of The Hockey News. TSN's Darren Dreger says the TOR-DET talks are ONLY preliminary...and he Leafs are asking for a lot. That might scare off Detroit...but not other teams.

As for the Michalek trade, it's unknown what Arizona is getting in return.

That 5th round pick we're getting from Montreal? It's in 2016.

[ckg927]

One of the local sports reporters(Channel 4's Lauren Brill)just tweeted that the Sabres would consider trading players who are not UFAs.

Dump everybody that's not Russian.

Got to make sure the Sabres end up in 30th place.

Murray should trade himself to the Sens for a 2nd round pick.

[GreedoII]

Hang on to the top two D-men(Risto/Zadorov) and Girgs. Everyone else is fair game on the active roster.

- - - Updated - - -

Also sick of seeing Nolan's stupoid face spweimng "compete". Dump his wortless azz too

[ckg927]

Renaut Lavoie of TVA Sports is now tweeting that the Leafs WILL keep part of Phaneuf's salary if he is traded.

[ckg927]

Ben Smith heads from Chicago to San Jose in exchange for pending UFA C Andrew Desjardins(per ESPN's Pierre LeBrun(via Bob McKenzie)).

[ckg927]

D Marek Zidlicky heading to the Red Wings from New Jersey in exchange for a 3rd rounder in 2016(credit THN's Ken Campbell). If Detroit makes the SCF, that becomes a 2nd round pick.

THAT might put an end to Phaneuf-to-the-Wings talk.

[ckg927]

Tyler Kennedy heads from San Jose to the Islanders for a 3rd round pick.

[Mr. Pink]

Nevurith to the Islanders for Chad Johnson.

Just announced on GR

[ckg927]

OH, boy, here we go....

Darren Dreger is reporting that Michal Neuvirth is heading to the Islanders for Chad Johnson and a conditional pick(it'll be a 2016 3rd rounder). Chad's signed through next season-cap hit: $1.3 M.

[Downinfloflo]

Garth Snow, GM of the year...Go figure, You guys had him for dead after the Vanek trade last season.

[ckg927]

Let's not forget he does have a good core of talent down on the Island, starting with The OTHER JT...Ryan Strome, etc.

And the Isles move into the Barclays Center next year. Great facility, but bring a miners helmet if you have a seat in the upper deck. (I'm half-joking. :D )

Chad Johnson may be too good of a goalie to guarantee the tank.

[Mr. Pink]

Chad Johnson may be too good of a goalie to guarantee the tank.

I think Johnson is actually an upgrade on Neuvirth.

[Downinfloflo]

My god this franchise...



Bush league by #Sabres (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Sabres?src=hash) management to let Neuvirth see that he was traded on television first before speaking to him

[ckg927]

My god this franchise...

Big deal. Wendel Clark, one of the most beloved Leafs ever, learned that he was traded while he was at a gas station.

But, because it's the Sabres, how Neuvirth learned of the trade is more heinous...RIGHT?

[SpikedLemonade]

I think Johnson is actually an upgrade on Neuvirth.

When the Bruins had Chad Johnson a couple of years ago, he won the Bruins a couple of games.

[Downinfloflo]

It's the collective, And the atmosphere, NHL players are taking note, Be sure of that!

[Mr. Pink]

When the Bruins had Chad Johnson a couple of years ago, he won the Bruins a couple of games.

He's a career 28-14 .914 2.41 goalie.

[SpikedLemonade]

They just spoke to Chad Johnson on TSN. He was diplomatic and is going there with an attitude that he wants to prove himself. Perhaps he steals a game or two.

[ckg927]

Ex-Sabre Cory Conacher is on the move again...this time to Vancouver.

[Skooby]

They just spoke to Chad Johnson on TSN. He was diplomatic and is going there with an attitude that he wants to prove himself. Perhaps he steals a game or two.

We should give him the rest of this season off to learn the system.

[The Jokeman]

He's a career 28-14 .914 2.41 goalie.

and under contract next season. I think we found our backup for next season.

[The Jokeman]

Ex-Sabre Cory Conacher is on the move again...this time to Vancouver.

and former Sabres keep getting traded Jordan Leopold is now playing in Minnesota.

[Mr. Pink]

and under contract next season. I think we found our backup for next season.

That is what I would guess as well.

[OpIv37]

Nothing on Stewart?

It's getting late and he's the best asset the Sabres have in terms of guys who are gonna walk.

[casdhf]

So when do they sign this FA goalie

[The Jokeman]

Nothing on Stewart?

It's getting late and he's the best asset the Sabres have in terms of guys who are gonna walk.

I'm sure Murray's getting as much he can for him. As there was talk earlier we lowered the pick from a 2nd to a 3rd or 4th back. Now it's up to Murray to deem which prospect we get back is best.

[SpikedLemonade]

Torrey Mitchell to the Habs for a prospect and a pick.

[The Jokeman]

Torrey Mitchell to the Habs for a prospect and a pick.

I wonder what Gionta and Gorges are thinking.

[SpikedLemonade]

I wonder what Gionta and Gorges are thinking.

They are just happy to still be a C and a A in the NHL.

Their careers were coming to an end in Montreal.

The Sabres tank gave them another temporary life.

[SpikedLemonade]

Chris Stewart to Minn for a 2nd round pick in 2017.

2017.

LOL!!!!!!

[Skooby]

Chris Stewart to Minn for a 2nd round pick in 2017.

seriously? 2017? man sakes how many draft picks do we need?

[Dr. Lecter]

Mitchell to Montreal for a pick and prospect

Stewart to Minnesota for a 2nd round pick in 2017

[GreedoII]

Chris Stewart to Minn for a 2nd round pick in 2017.

2017.

LOL!!!!!!

considering they originally got him off the street getting anything is good. just get him out! Stewert is a worthless piece to the puzzle. Murray getting it done...

[Dr. Lecter]

My god this franchise...

What's the big deal?

With instant media today, that happens.

I would prefer it didn't. But it's no big deal

[Dr. Lecter]

Chris Stewart to Minn for a 2nd round pick in 2017.

2017.

LOL!!!!!!
What's the big deal?

They got a 2nd for him.

If nothing else, it can be an asset

[SpikedLemonade]

Wasn't he part of the goalie deal to St. Louis last year?

[SpikedLemonade]

There were Sabre fans here that thought he would be jammed up some other team's ass for a 2015 1st round pick.

[Skooby]

There were Sabre fans here that thought he would be jammed up some other team's ass for a 2015 1st round pick.

Those same fans think McDavid is ours, the league won't allow it & will try to save AZ.

[The Jokeman]

You mean you don't have any faith in the NHL super secret envelope lottery system is true and fair system?

[JATMtheJATM]

i cant tell if you are trying to call me out, but if you are, no, i never said i expected a first rounder for stewart. you are trying too hard.

[DetDannyWilliams]

This morning on Howard Simon Show Murray said before trade deadline opened today that he would like to get draft choices for other years of the draft. Keep in mind the Sabres will host the 2016 draft

[JATMtheJATM]

What's the big deal?

They got a 2nd for him.

If nothing else, it can be an asset

bingo. its a second rounder. i dont care when it is. if anything else, itll allow them to add prospect depth in the future when the sabres roster is better and their own picks have less value. or they could move that pick for assets. GMTM got his pick. and im happy with it.

[ticatfan]

The NHL brass will want McDavid in Arizona. So the hawks are kind of quiet, we will need someone for kane ,till he returns in the Stanley cup finals.

[GreedoII]

Eichel is fine two. Just make sure we get one of them is what I'm worried about. McDavid would be the coup de gras if they win the lottery

[Downinfloflo]

Those same fans think McDavid is ours, the league won't allow it & will try to save AZ.

That's why I hate the lotto system, Arizona's new owner saved the NHL's ass, Here's McDavid and thank's again for buying the team!!

[The Jokeman]

Eichel is fine two. Just make sure we get one of them is what I'm worried about. McDavid would be the coup de gras if they win the lottery

Eichel's good but McDavid is another level IMHO.

[JATMtheJATM]

That's why I hate the lotto system, Arizona's new owner saved the NHL's ass, Here's McDavid and thank's again for buying the team!!

on the flip side, it could look really bad if they land mcdavid and the new owners opt out after 5 years and move.

[SpikedLemonade]

The Sabres are also retaining 50% of Stewart's salary.

Basically Stewart was worthless.

With St. Louis doing well this year, it looks like the Ryan Miller trade was a complete flop.

[Downinfloflo]

on the flip side, it could look really bad if they land mcdavid and the new owners opt out after 5 years and move.

Why?? Does that mean they can't take McDavid with them?? lol

[The Jokeman]

That's why I hate the lotto system, Arizona's new owner saved the NHL's ass, Here's McDavid and thank's again for buying the team!!

I don't hate the lotto system, I just hate that it's so secretive and feels almost fixed as eluded.

[Downinfloflo]

I don't hate the lotto system, I just hate that it's so secretive and feels almost fixed as eluded.

That's what I'm saying bro...

[GreedoII]

Agreed but McDavid will require a drawing while Eichel is guaranteed finishing 30th.

Still have a 1st this year and 3rd next year....not bad for an aging goaltender

[SpikedLemonade]

It is not that good of pick.

Wait, was that the pick traded to the Jets?

[Dr. Lecter]

They got two picks for him too, one of which is a first.

[JATMtheJATM]

Why?? Does that mean they can't take McDavid with them?? lol

it would look bad to have a hyped, potential generational player move with the team. if the yotes move with eichel, ok, well, it didnt work. if the yotes move with mcdavid, it literally proves the experiment was doomed from the start. at least if they move without mcdavid, they can try and save face somewhat. but mcdavid? even mcdavid couldnt save them?

[Dr. Lecter]

It is not that good of pick.

Wait, was that the pick traded to the Jets?
The lower of the Blues or Islanders pick.

You're really trying too hard.

You've become the DiscoPatti of the hockey forum.

:(

[JATMtheJATM]

could be, depends where it finishes. the jets take the lower first between the isles/blues picks. sabres retain the higher one.

[The Jokeman]

Agreed but McDavid will require a drawing while Eichel is guaranteed finishing 30th.

Oh I know, I like Eichel but I'd rather not have to settle on a consolation prize all things considered.

[SpikedLemonade]

Jam says that as soon as you put on a Sabres sweater, you will have huge potential.

[snow1989]

I think Johnson is actually an upgrade on Neuvirth.

I'd really like to know how you figure that???? Johnson has had one decent season and then spent 8/10ths of his career bouncing around the AHL. He isn't even a 'premium' back-up. Just as recent as last year; 16-15 in portland with a GAA of 3.00 and a sv% 903.....:puke: No, Neuvirth isn't stellar, but he's a damn sight better than Chad.

[JATMtheJATM]

Jam says that as soon as you put on a Sabres sweater, you will have huge potential.

We won't even need mceichel

[coastal]

[Skooby]

And Murray could get a late draft pick for him in 2017.
