26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Why would the Sabres want Legwand? He is awful CBF Legwand resides in Donesville now. Taking Legwand is doing Ottawa a favor. I don't get this deal at all unless there is something else coming back from the Sens.

C.Biscuit97 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If I'm a GM, I try to get as many picks as possible. As much as we pretend like the draft is a science, it's a crap shoot. Sometimes, you get lucky. Personally, I would have just drafted a goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think goalies are completely overrated now, so I won't waste a 1st round pick on one that isn't a star. Corey Crawford is not good and has 3 Cups.

Corey Crawford is not good and has 3 Cups. I agree 100% I think a 1st round pick was too much and that they probably could have had the same deal for a 2nd round pick CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you draft a goalie, you're looking at 3-4 years down the road in most instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I fully expect Murray to trade the #2 pick to Ottawa as well. Timmy wants the Ottawa job when uncle Bryan steps down. He needs to gum up our works as much as possible before leaving. Sabotage is the only excuse I can accept because I can't believe Murray is stupid. Just a bad trade all the way around.

thebandit27 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I wonder if they spoke extensively with Irbe and asked him which goalie would be the best fit for the style he teaches...suppose they did that, and Lehner was the answer, would that change anyone's opinion? Just wondering aloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(continued) ... They’re putting the pieces in place to have an organization that’s going to win for a long time,” said Legwand. #Sens (continued) “Tim Murray has done a good job building up draft picks and the prospects. “Now it’s time to go in there and give them a chance to win.” @DaveDavisHockey Got text from NHL scout who says Lehner is "a terrific young goalie", reminds him of Olaf Kolzig.
