Please please just fire adams and granato today, this trade signifies the sabres giving up on this year as well, middlestad is good enough to put up 80 points as a second line center with decent talent around him
Wait a sec Byram was a 2019 1st round pick?????? This makes no sense , how did Kent Hughes not trade for him ? Isn't Kent's goal to collect the entire 2019 1st round draft class ?
Middelstadt doesn’t seem like an AV to me
Crazy trade. Colorado desperately needed an actual 2 C though and already have god tier D so it makes sense. They should try to bring in Allen as a backup goalie if they can get him for a 3rd
Aves just won the cup
Just awful. Awful. Kevyn Adams is as bad a GM as there is in north american sports.
You get a 22 year old concussion case who plays 20 minutes a night. The last things the Sabres need are to be younger and softer, and Adams just accomplished both. Any amateur could have moved Casey in the offseason for a much better return.
Gonna be year 14 without the playoffs in Buffalo next season.
Clownshow organization. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Seems like a good hockey trade to me. Sabres are desperate for a defenseman and have 3/4 more good centers in the pipeline
WHAT THE F this is insane i love this year were gonna get a bunch of hockey trades
Avalanche also acquired Sean Walker for Ryan Johansen and a first rounder … Johansen never worked out but with a first rounder in 2025 it’s a steep price
Avs won that trade
The NHL got a taste of how good a healthy Byram is in the 2022 finals. He was incredible against Tampa. If he plays that well consistently, but keeps developing, then he’s going to be phenomenal.
Colorado why
Walker and Mittelstadt and pick(s) to Calgary for Kadri and Hanifin
Two really good hockey trades. Colorado just got a lot better for now and the future. Vegas hasn't even begun to make their team better but they will by the deadline. I expect them to be the western finalists just like Florida is going to be the eastern finalists. Should be one heck of a playoffs this year.
As an Av fan-im sad to see Byrum go.But we had to get a center,& since we get Walker in the other deal(& get rid of Ry Jo,& his terrible contract/awful fit here)-I'm good with it.They are going for it,& since we are lucky to be in the central-not pacific like you guys-Im for it overall. Bo has huge potential but scary concussion history,& just hasnt been very consistent this year. Yes opportunity is part of it,& I hope,& expect he will do very good in Buffalo.
But as much as I respect Dallas,Nashville,& WPG-I don't think any of those teams are as good as Edmonton,Vegas,your Canucks-maybe even LA. Especially after Vegas got Mantha,Edmonton got Henrique,& u guys already got Lindholm.We have a very good chance to make WCF-then who knows? Would only have to play 1 of the stacked Pacific-so we had to go for it.
Casey unfortunately just didn't pan out here. He did accumulate points…but he's slow in his foot speed, tries to stick handle at the worst times….and has MASSIVE give away issues. Wish him the best…but I feel like the Sabres mightve just fleeced the Avs
Right on I like this trade way to go Adams now we need another Defenseman lol jk but I do like this trade go Sabres!
I think the AVS got worse tbh
I wanna cry 😭 please take care of Mitts for me
Good old time "Real Hockey Trade" where both teams benefit. Great to see.
Well …. We should see kess PK time with Byram gone
For the Avs, another plus, Nichushkin is due back soon. I like these trades for the Avs.
I like as Avs fan, Johansen started coming around, great lock room guy, but seems to be a half foot slow, sad to Bryam go, I think it's 1 for 1 because Bryam has another year on his contract
Yeah i think this is a huge w for buffalo good for them
Go get your cup Mitts #37
