I think its a great trade for Rangers, use some (but not all) of those firsts to put yourself in a good spot to be competitive again.

IMO its pretty good value on those players for NYR... He definatley got his money's worth in terms of players....
now its time to see what he picks up in FA and unassigned to help out

WOW! great trade by the rangers!! i mean, the prospects are meh, 2 of the picks are taylor hall picks so they stand out but boo hoo, the rangers get 2 automatic franchise players, so kudos for the revamp. not a bad trade by any means for buff, considering the 2010 draft's top 5 are supposed to be really really good.

Great trade for the Rangers.
I think it is a terrible return for the Sabres unless they really luck out have LA finish last next year. The SJ pick is meh, with Thornton and Kipper the Rangers picks are likely mid-round at best as well.
Seems like an awful lot of talent to give up for not much back in return.
But what do I know the Lightning never have talent like that to trade away in the first place.

I have to take a closer look, but seems like great trade for both. Might be a monumental turn around for the Rangers!
You get the feeling this is gonna be a fantastic off-season!!!

Wow.
That is an insane deal for NYR.
He is getting a lot of talent without giving anything up in his last two deals.

Wow. That is an insane deal for NYR. He is getting a lot of talent without giving anything up in his last two deals. I had a hard time gettin anymore for him, because of the 4 Mil. He was on the block for a week- I had exactly no offers, and when mentioned in other deals he was not wanted. So I offered him to NY and after much discussion we settled on what you see

Thanks dude. I really need to thank Buffalo for rebuilding this year. Without that I would still be at the bottom of the standings. I'm still looking for all stars...If you have any, lol.
