"@DarrenDreger: Huge deal. Hearing Myers Stafford Armia and Lemieux plus a first for Kane and Bogosian as principles of deal getting close btwn Buf + Wpg."


Seems a bit of an over payment by Buffalo

I'll say

@Manitobaflyers I heard the same rumor that may be confirmed later today. It seems to be an over payment to me as well but I am not the GM
Tyler Myers Zack Bogosian
Joel Armia + Brandon Lemieux + STB 2015 1st Evander Kane
Stafford

Amazing deal for both teams. One of the best pure hockey trades I've seen in a while.

Sbr2017. it's not announced which teams pick it is. it is said to be whichever team has the higher pick

I love this for buffalo they are stocked with young prospects and still have two more first round picks this year they are the one team that's able to trade that many young pieces and not take it on the chin. They now have two solid building blocks going forward both are young guys with some injury history but both are extremely talented.

As for the Jets still a good trade get stafford for the playoff run and depth, myers who will be with Trouba for many years now and basically three first round pick (Armia was a 1st rounder, the 1st rd pick, and Lemieux was the first pick in the second round).

to me that's a solid trade for both teams

Tyler Myers more or less equal to Zack Bogosian (drafted the same year)
Joel Armia + Brandon Lemieux + STB 2015 1st more or less equal to Evander Kane
Stafford >> Jason Kasdorf
But Buffalo is picking up two young top 4 draft picks young players and Murray is planning to make the playoffs next year.

The sleeper of the trade just may be:
Jason Kasdorf RPI 2012-13, GGA-1.62, W-14, L-5, T-2, SV-521, SV%-0.935
He was injured last year and is not doing well this year, but does seem to have the talent to perform well.

Kasdorf is a sleeper only in the way that you'll likely never hear his name in the NHL.

@Chirp that is partly the definition of a sleeper. My point was he had a great year as a Freshman (which I summarized above), was injured last year and is playing much better this year but not up to his Freshman level. He will remain a Sabre prospect for one more year before he is either signed by the Sabres or becomes a free agent. If he has a Senior year similar to his Freshman year, I believe he will be signed to an ELC at the age of 23. But the odds are he will not be signed by the Sabres.
