A 1st rd pick in 2019, a relatively high end prospect, a 2nd rd pick, and two depth NHLers. Buffalo did really well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did overpay, but that's what happens when more than one team is bidding and the selling GM holds firm on his asking price. On top of it all, the Blues now also have to pay O'Reilly his $7.5 Million bonus that's due by 11:59 PM est. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berglund and Sobotka are useful depth players, but you know what you get out of them, and Thompson wasn't even a top 5 prospect for them I don't think. I don't think the Sabres got robbed, but I know a lot of Blues fans are probably happy they didn't have to give up Kryou, Thomas, or Klim. Depth is what the Sabres seriously needed. They're a top-heavy team. All teams had to do was slow down the top 2 lines and they would easily win games. It wasn't a secret on how to beat the Sabres.

Nice that they've got Tavares, any guesses on when Matthews demands a trade? Their top Six is still pretty fricken good! I’d have to say! Plus their prolly getting ready to make a move for a Quarter back defencemen! I would not be surprised at all;) I’m pretty sure everyone’s gonna be on the same page! Take pay cuts to win Stanley Cups if they can agree in terms;) there’s no way in hell Mathews is gonna want out! Now that’s just hilarious!

6string Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 St. Louis a playoff bubble team at the very best gives up a first and second for what - mediocrity. Who do they think they are Calgary ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzam Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 STL comes out on top imo. Legit 2C locked up in his prime. They've already replaced the 2 roster players traded away for better ones in Bozak and Perron. They just pushed their way back into the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least now the Sabres can roll 3 good lines with this trade. Mittelstadt will have no problem stepping into ROR's 2C role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Raugh out Roud StLoo appears a team that's destined to get 75~80% to the summit..each & every yr. As mentioned, very sketchy 'tending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Botterill is better at the draft than Murray was, the Sabres are going to have a great pool of prospects well into the future with all of the picks they're picking up.

grandmaster Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Wow!!! St Louis overpaid big time. Berglund alone scored only 7 goals shy of O’Reilly! This in only 57 games while O’Reilly played all season. Then they also throw in a first and a second? Wow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70seven Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Tage Thompson is a legit prospect. Not all players measured solely in production. Berglund adds decent depth. Adding another 1st rounder to their collection of young talent. Better return than what they gave up for ROR imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I like the deal for Buffalo. I like Thompson - very good young prospect. Sobotka and Berglund are both good possession players, physical, good faceoff guys - good two way players - reasonable terms. Have always like Sobotka - he's a pita to play against. Another 1st in addition to Thompson - and a 2nd.... I think Buffalo definitely got value here. St Louis gets what they clearly wanted - likely the best player in this deal - but they also gave up a couple mid range roster players and three good futures, so it's hard to call it a win for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They basically traded Buffalo, although still effective players, cap dumps. They also managed to not trade away guys like Paryko, Fabbri, Thomas, Kostin and Kyrou, who were all rumored to go. It's a solid deal for both teams, but all depends on how St Louis does this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
