That is correct. No one thought of players getting injured after the deadline. Had we acquired one or two rental players for depth in exchange for Noronen, I think we would have done better against the Hurricanes.

And who do you think we would have gotten in return for Noronen? He was a plug and swiss cheese to boot. I'm sure trading him away would have solved all of our problems.


It would have if we received a prospect instead of a draft pick in return.

When you have no depth to depend on when your entire team is ailing leads to failure. Smart general managers will prepare for that, even if they do not know what may happen.

Who knows what general manager you would be?


So the Sabres should now get a shit ton of mediocre players in case someone gets injured? Is that what you're saying? Because that would be stupid. You keep maybe 1 or 2 replacements, that's it. You don't have a whole backup team (well, you honestly can't, but you probably didn't think of that) in case a player gets injured.

You, in fact, would ruin a team if you were a gm.

Really? The same would go for you.

Let us go crazy!

Don't allow them a single shot on goal. Kill.

This is the fourth straight game that the St. Louis Blues have had scouts at the foot of Washington Street.

If the only move you can make is trading away your tertiary goaltender for a second round pick to win the Stanley Cup when other positions can use depth for a playoff run, then you set yourself up for failure. Fortunately, the Sabres went very deep with no serious acquisitions, reaching the Eastern Conference finals.

If I recall, the Chicago Blackhawks didn't make a single trade last year for their Cup Run.

In 2009, the Penguins also didn't make a single Trade. Oh, in 2008, did the Redwings make a single trade to help them win the cup either? What about the Ducks, who did they move to help win a cup?

just a little. but alot of teams make significant deals at the deadline and they fall flat. of course only 1 team can win it, so many are bound to fall flat.

I wouldn't say they were super significant. The Wings would have probably won without Brad Stuart. The Pens, yes they got Guerin, and Kunitz, but it was still the Malkin/Crosby show.
And the Hawks got Boytnon.

To me, those aren't hugely significant moves on the deadline. Just extra help it seems. In free agency is a different story though.

It wasn't the 67 combined points from Malkin and Crosby. :roll:
