I do- I thought Muckler was crazy for trading Mogilny for unknowns like Mike Peca.
It tiurned out to be a darn good trade for the Sabres, didn't it?
Well, the Peca trade to the Islanders was a similar deal. Unfortunately, the negotiations with Peca had broken down to an irreconcilable situation. Regier, despite his probable complicity in causing the situation, made a trade for great potential talent in return, including a top-5 draft pick, Tim Connolly.
In the short run, the Sabres lose- and it's still the short term. In the long run, the Sabres' upside is HUGE on this deal, if Connolly approaches his potential.
We gave Rob Johnson 4 years to hang himself in Buffalo, why not give Connolly the same time to see what he turns into before chucking him? This team isn't going anywhere right now anyways.
