Vermette is too valuable for us to trade unless someone gave us a top 10 pick, which isn't going to happen. I really think his value to us far outweighs the value of what another team would offer.

Kelly is gonzo, losing our top 2 PK is simply not an option. We can't afford to lose our 2nd line centre, top PKer and best faceoff man. Murray can just do what it takes to get him locked up.

Regardless of what happened last year, this team is still close, moving Vermette would be a HUGE mistake, IMO.

If I am Buffalo, I would love to have Vermette. 13 for Vermette and 42 would not seem that ludicrous. Like a few people have said before, the first rounders, especially after 6 or 7, are highly overrated.

i would imagine the flames would have to add something minor to get this done, but it could be a start. BM would have fun with back to back picks there - he'd probably bring them both up at the same time for a headline picture.

The only way i see the flames actually trying this is if talks with langkow are looking really bad though. He'd probably end up cheaper than vermette, and you dont have to give up assets.

i think buffalo might make a good trading partner too, but i dont know if regier would risk giving a first to a team in the division, as it could come back to bite the sabres in the ass at some point.

As a Sabre fan I have stated I would love to Vermette, but not for #13. Someone said MacArthur and 26 but I'll go one better. Stafford,#26 and a 3rd

I agree, but unless something changes (Kelly leaving might play a role, hard to say), all signs point to moving him. Vermette for D seems the most likely scenario.
