HAHAHA Good call

I still dont know why they gave a first round pick too.that seems a little nuts. He is unrestricted at the end of the year.

i’m pretty surprised the caps got a 1st rounder with that trade

We might get an AHL defenseman from washington as well

yeah, i’m wondering who the prospect is.

edit- tsn just edited- Timo Helbling.

Losing the 1st round pick sucks, but I’m comfortable with the amount of talent we have coming up in Rochester already.

We also picked up defenseman Timo Helbling from Washington. I’m guessing he’s the guy headed to Rochester.

Surprised it doesn’t show him going to the Toronto Sabres, or Ottawa Americans.

yeah, but we now have two 2nd round picks

oooo i like how zubrus could fit in here… he’s a bigger body to throw around at forward and has pretty good hands, i approve of that move

is anyone scared of pittsburgh now? before i wasn’t so much because they are such a young team, but they made some awesome deals with laraque and roberts. i think they are going to pass nj in the standings.

laraque wont even see the playoffs and roberts time has passed…im not worried about pittsburgh…new jersey is a team you should watch in the playoffs

and you know this how? a player like roberts on a team like, say buffalo, would be a HUGE boost to the team.

no doubt he adds leadership dont get me wrong…if pittsburgh was going to make a run this playsoffs, i expected them to bring a big name to add with crosby and malkin

just think if he played here all year too… he could potentially, be a 60-65 pts player, and 75-80 on the year…

I think he’ll contribute another 12-15 pts of the sabres…

and watching a game on google, he looks like he’s really good in the corners

Is Zubrus going to make the game tonight or no?

i’d think they’d want him to practice with the team first before playing him, he’ll probably be in town though.

havent heard a definate answer per WGR…i know washington is playing at home tonight so there could be a chance but who knows

i’d have to think they’d have him practice with the team also. i mean, how is ruff going to know what line to use him on?

link to all the trades that happened today and earlier in the season

So how does this work?

Do they put the new backup goalie on a plane for toronto tonight to sit on the bench incase they need him, or does a rochester goalie come and sit on the bench?

How soon until they dress zubrus?
