Beetlebum

The best available player like Lou always does. 

Specious logic you are the Devils fan version of Alex Jones.

Lou tried to get Suter too to keep Parise, but he would not come here.

No. Elias is a God we will pay him what he wants.

Luckily you are not in charge of the team. Patty can play forever his game is not built on speed he is the Czech Teemu.

Typical fan proposal trade...the kind Yankee fans call into the WFAN with constantly.  "Duuuuuuuuhhh, I'm gonna list 5 or 6 playes we don't want for a very good play-a."   

 

Unknown, unknown, and two unwanted players for a guy who can help immediately.  Why wouldn't Buffalo want to jump all over that?

 

Start with Henrique (who won't be nearly enough, but at least he has some upside) and give them at least one or two more players who they'd actually want (players that can help them either right now or very soon) that aren't on bad contracts (like Volchenkov) and maybe the Sabres pick up the phone. 

Kovalchuk trade is the blue print for any deal we make for Vanek.
