(Edit: is it correct to post what each team is giving up or what they are getting? I.e., does the above suggest that Florida is giving up Leopold or getting him?)

I edited your post. I think that way would eliminate any potential confusion.

Good call, though you sent the player/pick the wrong way. ;)

Did you edit at some point? I would've swore that it read the right way before I actually added to it.

Oh well, do we only want the actual trades in here or a discussion too? I'll stop posting if we just want a list of deals (and mods feel free to delete all of this too).

[LabattBlue]

I will pin this thread. I think it is fine to have separate threads for any moves the Sabres make, but I will do my best to keep all the other moves within this one thread(for those who choose to ignore the fact that a thread of this nature exists).

Here's one suggestion, but I'm not sure how realisitic it is. Is it possible to edit the original post so that each individual deal is listed in it? Yeah, we can find a full tally like that on a site like TSN, but if we're going to be on this board all day, it would be cool to have that here too.

I can give it a try. It would take a little time, but it would be nice if I can format all the trades the same way in the first post.

[carpandean]

Sounds good Blue. If I spot some, I'll try to update my original post, too.

Any thoughts on the trade? Mine would be (and Deluca will probably disagree) that Leopold wouldn't be a big upgrade to our defense and is a rental (pending UFA) only. I'd rather see what else Darcy could do with a second-round pick. Wait, do we even have a second-round pick next year? I know that we sent one (two, actually, but one was last year's) to San Jose in the Rivet trade, but did we acquire one before that?

I will disagree. We have all seen Lydman, Rivet and Montador play this season. To say Leopold isn't a big upgrade would be incorrect. Let's not ignore the obvious here. Another top team in the Eastern Conference made a move that makes them better.

Don't get me wrong; I think that he would be an upgrade, just not as big one (or at least not the right way) as I'm hoping for.

We'll see who, if anyone, Darcy does bring in, but the potential is still there for better acquisitions. In two days, we may look back at this and say that the Penguins made the better move, but I'm not hugely disappointed that he wasn't the blue-line acquisition, if there will be one.

This will be Regier's 12th deadline day, in his previous 11, he's made atleast a move in each. I wouldn't say IF, but HOW MANY when talking about Sabres trades.

I almost jumped on Vogl for writing that. The media guide does not list any transactions for the 2002 trade deadline. But that was the Corkum year. Apparently it has been whitewashed from team history.

Active? Yes. Effective? Not so much in many years.

From down here in Nashville, this obviously means that Dan Hamhuis is being or has been moved. I don't know much about Grebeshkov, but Hammer was 3rd on the Preds in ice time behind Weber and Suter. My initial take is Grebeshkov is a little better offensively than Hamhuis, who is a little better in his own end.

It's always fun when the trade deadline comes around!

COSabre,

What part of Nashville are you in? I live in Clarksville, played rugby in Nashville before my body got old. Still make it up there for nashbash, but I digress...

I live just north of downtown in the Germantown section of the city. Only about a mile to the arena from where I live, so we walk to many of the games (that way I don't have to drink and drive). BTW - next time the Sabres are in Nashville, hit me up for tickets - I can get some freebies!

Blockbuster deal ...

Waddell said that he was looking to add size at forward. He certainly accomplished that, if nothing else.
