Florida has no business getting Drury since they won't make the playoffs, and Buffalo will not trade him. Personally, if Biron were going to Florida I'd want Nathan Horton and Salei, I'd be happy with that. Of course I doubt the Panthers would give that much for Biron alone.

Yeah Archion Buffalo is going to trade a very good goalie in Biron and a solid winger in Kotalik for a piece of garbage goalie in Esche and a never amounted to anything prospect in Richards……Get off the glue, every comment you post makes everyone just alittle dumber!

WOW, that is so much for Biron. Let me ask this question, would you trade a player, a prosepct, and a first rounder for Huet?. I know he has stunk as of late, but most of that is the teams inept ability to not allow like 100 shots a game. I wouldnt even trade that for huet, thats crazy becasue huet is miles ahead of marty biron!!!

Dude, R U Insane? The Sabres r actually in a Cup Race, and there is absolutely no way, they would give up their Captain and Leading Scorer. They r going 2 try 2 retain him at the end of the year. And secondly, y would we want Theodore, May and Turgeon in return. I wouldn't even trade Biron 4 that, if they salaries matched up.

I would expect to see Biron get moved to a team in the west, or a no contender in the east. In the west I see Phoenix and the Kings needing to address some goaltending issues and with the playoffs getting out of reach for both of these teams i see them as sellers. Phoenix maybe sending Morris or Nagy, and a draft pick or Prospect. As for the Kings, Garon and Sopel.
If to the East Florida could ship Auld, Weiss and Salie for Biron and Drury

The only way Colorado would get Biron and Drury is if Buffalo got Hedjuk, Liles and Budaj in return. Heck Buffalo could throw in Kalinin and the Avs would still be getting a deal.

I can see where you're going with this and almost everything makes sense to me. The only question would be whether the addition of Drury is enough to get Colorado into the playoffs or does he just end being a rental player and taking off at seasons end. With the previous history between Colorado and Drury they could probably work something out to keep him around. On the Buffalo side this gives them the veteran leadership and grit to survive a long playoff series and they lose some of the dressing room tension over the looming decision of Drury or Briere. This would tighten the team up and and give them a legitmate shot at Lord Stanley's Cup.

Where do I begin, which proposal is actually worse? Losing Drury is as stupid as Boston trading Joe Thornton for a 3rd line center, mediocur 2nd line winger, and 2nd pairing defenseman. The Sabres have a goaltender named Ryan Miller, why the hell would Jose Theodore and his $6 million contract be on their radar? That said I like getting Brad May, maybe Turgeon has a playoff run left in him too, but not for Drury, that's insane.

Kevin Weekes is a god awful goaltender not worth what the Rangers are paying him, a conditional pick included isn't good enough for Biron regardless of whether or not he'd sign with the Rangers next season. Why should the Sabres give up the better goalie for a crappy one that makes almost as much money? I'd rather go trade for Mike Dunham in a separate deal from the Isles. If Biron gets traded it would be for a player that will help the Sabres win the Cup, and another backup would be acquired either in the same deal or a different one.

wow i completely agree! With that trade I hope we fall against them in the playoff... Just the fact of losing drury is going to hurt them badly, and then they get Theo!! Even as a backup he will make the starter worse...
Although, it would be funny seeing theo on the other side in the playoff vs the Habs!
