I think another prospect is going to BUF as well. Not sure who though.
Not a blockbuster, but this one confuses me. I like Fasching well enough. He has an interesting story and is a big body, but I don't see how he is worth a prospect and two 2nd round picks. Buffalo was doing a great job of accumulating assets and shouldn't be giving them away like this.
Anyone have any insight on this deal?

It would need to be a good one for two 2nds.
Nicolas Deslauriers is the other prospect.

I am with Fast Tony here. I understand the players involved but 2 second rounders could land a team a pretty good player who is in the NHL. Seems like an overpay for prospects.
Honestly this one surprised me. All reports I heard were McNabb and Pysyk were golden boys owning the Amerks etc etc...
I get the why. Sabres beef up on the wing which is certainly needed. Just seemed like an odd package overall.

That's my issue with the deal. I understand the prospect swap, but for Buffalo to include two 2nd round picks is a bit odd. Buffalo must really like Fasching.
What I really think happened here is that LA and Buffalo were probably talking quite a bit about Moulson, perhaps Vanek before he was traded, and probably even Ehrhoff, and in the end couldn't agree on a major trade so they decided to make this smaller deal involving the peripherals from the larger deal they were discussing.

Not questioning whether Fasching is a good prospect or not ... just making mention that LAK basically got a better return for him than the Isles did for Tomas Vanek. Seems a bit off, eh?

The two 2nd rounders does seem excessive. Good thing Buffalo has a zillion picks.
