So the only deals we've seen where a first round pick was involved were for legitimate star players (Ryan Miller and Martin St. Louis).. a far cry from some of the trade deadline madness we've seen over the last few years.

I wonder if it was a lack of cap space that drove prices down, or if each passing free agent crop being worse than the last (and no real uptick in trades) has driven the value of draft picks up..

Lack of cap space likely held up some deals, Vanek could have been a decent rental for a team that had space.

Edit: Vanek has been traded

The Sabres and Wild continue their good working relationship despite the turnover in Buffalo's front office.. Moulson and McCormick to Minnesota edit: for "picks" and Torrey Mitchell

Lets see the core that needs change and once again no change was made, be interesting to see how MG spins this around. Maybe he will use the injury excuse again? I guess if we had no injuries we could of won a game or 4 but that is about it.

Maybe Aquaman didn't approve anything?

Any word as to why? Just nobody meeting the asking prices or is it more to do with the "meddling owner"?

Vanek went for the same price we paid to get Derek Roy last year.
