Duxburger Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I think they overpaid for ROR, what does everyone else think? I thought it was a 1st, 2nd and a top prospect. They gave alot for him. Edited July 2, 2018 by Duxburger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festivus Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Did they even get a 1st? three players and a second..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festivus Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 oh ya and a 1st..good haul... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb738 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Trade really was Thompson, 1st round pick, and 2nd round pick for ROR...the other players were just throw in's. I think it is fair value. Kudos to Buffalo on managing to not retain any ROR money in this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammynos Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I had this discussion with a friend of mine last night too... For STL, Berglund and Sobotka were total salary dumps. I don't think they are complete "throw-in's" for Buffalo, however. Buffalo has a very young team right now and I think these two will be good forward depth to help relieve some of the pressure that the prospects might have been under to make the opening day lineup. It likely gives Alex Nylander another year for his development. I am not saying that Berglund/Sobotka are going to light the world on fire, but I think they will benefit the Sabres more so in what the depth allows the organization to do than the on ice product.

barrett Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Good haul for sure. More surprised they didn’t try to add a player who can play now. But maybe they’ll flip picks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb738 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I’m sure the Blues were happy that they landed ROR without having to give up Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salros Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Good trade for both teams. St. Louis needed a quality center that wins draws. Buffalo gets supporting players that will take some pressure off the young ones. I believe Eichel will love playing with a big, talented winger like Thompson.

bill0755 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Who is left for the Canadians to get for a center? Not much left in the UFA pool for centers. Assume they will have to trade patches to pick up a 1st Lin center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill0755 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Waiting for an 18 year old to be your center, yikes, maybe he’s ready to play in the NHL in several years, so afraid it’s going to be a long wait. Patience is required. So the Canadiens don’t add any centers, unless you count the resigning of Plekanec to be their #1 center going into the year. Well, they will definitely be in the Jack Hughes lottery next year one would assume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festivus Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 we should be in that mix but i would think that some of these kids are going to need time but perhaps not as much as some might think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
