Jas0nMacIsaac Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Greene - Larsson Salvador - Fayne Merrill - Volchenkov Harrold I still don't see room for Zidlicky without a right shot moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayday Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) It had to be Tallinder, no GM in his right mind would take on Volchenkov at 4.25M for the next 3 years when he is slowing down when the game is speeding up. And of course Salvador is the captain, and trading Fayne would barely be a cap dump and stupid because he is one of the few guys on the right side of 30 with Larsson.

Devils731 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Too bad the Devils had to lose Tallinder, he's very good but it's a numbers game, I don't think Lou is done yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Lamoriello said this does not impact Marek Zidlicky "at this point." The GM said he'd still like to re-sign Zidlicky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Like that it means giving someone an opportunity, but Tallinder was (and still is) an excellent defenseman. Easy there tiger. Tallinder is a competent to good NHL defenseman. Duncan Keith and Ryan McDonough are "excellent defenseman". Semantics aside, we're basically in agreement. As people will notice with a lot of bad teams, and actually a lot of pretty good teams, a steady second pairing, or even third pairing defenseman, is not that easy to come by. The Rangers made it to the second round of the playoffs, and could have used at least another one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoArmySports Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) I like the move since we saved around $3 million in cash. Now if we could only send Volchie back to Ottawa Lou would deserve his own parade. Edited July 7, 2013 by GoArmySports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Volchenkov could be moved for the right forward next summer with all the terrible contracts being signed. I would love to make a Volchenkov Peverly trade. Edited July 7, 2013 by Jas0nMacIsaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 per TG Lamoriello said trade was made to clear a roster spot for a young D next season, but also said it's still possible they'll re-sign Zidlicky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Volchenkov could be moved for the right forward next summer with all the terrible contracts being signed.

grcenter47 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Would you guys want Gelinas or Urbom to take his place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I think he would have to move Volchenkov or Salvador before he resigns Zid. I know Anton has a NTC. Not sure if Sal does. I also think the devils think Sal is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) interesting that Lou named Severson in the mix of the youngsters who might get a shot. Urbom, Merril, Gelinas, Severson. those are 4 prospects that we can at least be excited about. Not saying we have to overate them and pump their tires but the potential is there.

njd3b1ink Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Dream come true would be for Lou to bring back Zid and dump one of Sal or Volchenkov to make room for Merrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Not sure I want to rush Severson...he could be a very good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Wow this is almost as big of a robbery for Buffalo as the Schneider trade was for the Devils. Really surprised that they could not even get a pick for him. This sucks. I really like Tallinder and thought he was good for this team. He was so good in 2010-2011 during the hot streak.

sundstrom Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 A bit OT, but if anyone wants to buy authentic game issued Tallinder red/Green jersey, PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 29th Pick Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Lou has done A LOT this off season.......maybe he's taking those 5 hour energy shots or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Ok, I really don't know what the fvck people wanted Lou to do, no one is taking Salvador or Volchenkov with the years and money they have left, its a fvcking pipe dream. I swear, people will bitch and moan about anything. This was EXPECTED, and not at all surprising. Best of luck in Buffalo Hank.

Triumph Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 they needed to take a contract back thats why they couldnt get a pick they could've gotten a pick and this waste of a reserve list spot, if tallinder had that kind of value, but apparently he didn't.

Lou's done well this off season, the only thing left I'd like him to do is buy out Volch (since nobody wants him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
