  1. Trocheck move is interesting, doesn’t seem like either team got what they needed to me

  2. I'm glad Simmonds didn't really cost us anything (Olofsson was a 7th round sleeper for us… and that's pretty much the only time it's ever going to happen for us, so I already know our 5th rounder wasn't worth anything), but still… how the f*** was this guy going to help us make the playoffs? 8 goals? We already have dead weight on this team that have MORE than that! Botterill sucks ass.

  3. Wow 2 moves the Flyers didnt need to make today. Fletcher is gonna kill the chemistry of this team. The kids are playing great right now. The only move if any should of been bringing Morgan Frost back up. Hes just making trades 4 the sake of making trades right now. We have seen this with Clarke and Holmgren bringing in veterans when they didnt need to and it never works out. I thought Fletcher was doing pretty well until now. Sometimes the best move is to not make any moves.

  4. The ’only’ other trade that could have made this Buffalo Sabres fan happier today would have been if Jason Botterill someway, somehow could have re-acquired ’Robin Lehner.’ However no use crying over spilled milk now that the Golden Knights have since scooped him up instead. And with ’Wayne ‘Train’ Simmonds & Dominik Kahun’ now in the mix, hopefully it is onward & upward for the boys in navy blue, gold & silver as far as the team making a ’serious’ playoff push ’this year.’

  5. Dam I was hoping Simmons would somehow end up in the Black & Gold … he would’ve been the perfect Bruin & players like Wayne go a long way In the Playoffs. Unfortunately for Simmons he’s going to a Franchise that is allergic to the playoffs / Armpit of America =Buffalo !! What a waste

  6. Way to go ANAHEIM.. Djoos for Sprong. Djoos stepped up/filled in for Scmidt when Vegas took him, went to cup, helped win.

  7. Kudos to Chuck Fletcher picking up some depth in the forward position. What a difference from 1 year ago. Amazing.

  8. Grant has 35 career goals age 29, 14 of them this year and 12 in 2017-18. Seems to be coming into his own putting the puck in the net but also not exactly an assist machine. Good size though.

  9. Simmonds was a smart move as we aren't a dumpster fire and make a push towards the ultimate goal well need him tomorrow in Denver as backbone Buffalo isn't as soft as they were 48 hours or so ago

  10. While you were talking about the Simmons trade, your cat shifted his position and took a cat nap. Does that say anything? Does your cat help out around the trade deadline? Let's go Flyers!
