    Darcy only makes a deal if he can win it, im thinking Guerin. You now have a extra draft pick to throw at them for a rental. Maybe A.Miller, they may still need to make room. This is just a tip of the ice berg. Its go time

              the 2nd rounder might be from the Nashville deal so it is a low 2nd. Or did they just trade a 3rd?

              Don Luce must like Marty and believes he can sign him long term. Either way, that pick will probably be moved for another player.

                I knew it was going to happen but I'm sad to see Marty go. Especially to Philly. Ewwww.

                  Conklin is an average backup at best.

                      We win in both trades and save about 1.6 mill...

                        I'm happy to have Conklin so the Belfour rumors die.

                            Conklin makes $525,000, so we've cleared about about $1.6 million. Add Gaustad and Connolly, and we've gotta have over $5 million available. (although I'm not sure what Connolly's status is as of yesterday)

                              He is a UFA after this year, were lucky we got SOMETHING for the guy. A 2nd rounder plus opening up cap room.. you are CRAZY if you do not like that deal.

                                (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Sabres have sent goaltender Martin Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a second-round pick, and sent a fifth-round pick to Columbus for netminder Ty Conklin.

                                Biron was 12-4-1 for Buffalo in 2006-07, posting a 3.04 goals against average. His hit to the salary cap is $2.2 million, as opposed to Conklin's, whose hit is $525,000.

                                Conklin was 2-3-2 with a 3.23 goals against average this season, but played for the Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers in 2005-06. For his career, Conklin is 29-22-4-3, with a 2.60 goals against average and .901 save percentage.
                                Yeah, If we didn't trade him, we'd get nothing for him, now we free up 2.2 Million in cap space, and get draft picks for him. Sabres Also Sent a Pick and Brought in Ty Conklin from Columbus, And My Sources Say they aren't finished.
