[Trade] BUF Trade Akeson + Varone + Leduc to OTT for Guptill + O'Dell + Schneider + Sdao

I actually find this trade fascinating. As in how did it actually happen? A 7 player trade featuring a bunch of Ben Hanowskis. How much time did they spend on this? How many back and forth negotiations occurred? Did one guy balk at the price and then come back to the table??

How in the name of the ghost of Alex Stojanov did this come together?

O'Dell, Leduc and Varone are the three names that are the best of the bunch, but it's basically a shuffling of Hanowskis.

At first I thought I was completely out of it because I didn't recognize any of those names. Now I see that nobody recognizes them, and I feel better.

I recognized Sdao because he's the one McGrattan beat the #### out of in pre-season.


Here's the sequence of events:

Guptill went to Ottawa as part of the Spezza trade.

What cracks me up is if you look at the trade tracker on TSN, 2900 people thought Ottawa won and 1200 thought Buffalo won. I'm sure all those fans have been following all those players for years.

This is the most extravagant dufus for dufus deal ever.

Clearly their mothers cast multiple votes.
