Although it's much too early to evacuate JV or DC, very few college free agents turn into top 6 forwards, top 4 defenseman or top goalies.

FYI, this is considered an average to below average college free agent class. That being said, every winning team seems to have a guy that came out of nowhere.

And how did I do that, exactly. i don't take kindly to unsubstantiated attacks.

That's just crap. There is nothing they could do that you wouldn't look at with a jaundice eye. Your including the "write off benefit" of the shirt give away says it all. You had to find something negative about every part of the night. You couldn't even write about Sunday's events without opining on them. You are what you are, wear it proudly.

Again, it's important to remember that he is one of the few 18 year olds to have played in this league and his stats compare favorably to past 18 year olds.

OK, now I'm jealous. I will make it a point to be there next year.

I'm not sure who the third defenseman is who they acquire, but this is pretty much what I expect.

There is an easy answer. My total bill for my share of tickets next year is around $7500. I'd like to sell more then half of that for my cost. Need money by June. Tickets not available till late September. You'll get some games you want, some games you don't. All you loyal Sabre fans can pm me for my PayPal address.

Apparently I screwed up on the seating chart. Where you sitting?

I have eleven's that I can forward to anyone and can get my hands on two more that are up for sale if someone is interested

I'll recall it but it would probably be better to forward it to someone going since I won't be anywhere near arena

I think I can recall your ticket and send it to whomever you want but I'll need to know by 7am tomorrow. After that I'll be unable to do so till 5pm tomorrow

Hope you all have a great time. Wisn I could be there.

Can get two more tickets in section 118, on the aisle. PM me if interested. These are right near other seats.

There are numerous reasons not to take him but I hope they don't completely eliminate from their board because of them. Imagine he goes to New England and five years from now we have to watch Jim Kelly supporting his nephew while wearing Patriot gear.

He is talking about when he was in Winnipeg

As much as we disagree about the job he has done up to this point, I don't think anyone disagrees that he has to nail the next coach and this team has to be a lot better next year.

Just checked my last message to Hoss. Believe ticket went to LTS

Here is original ticket distrubution. I know Hoss and Ink transferred their tickets to ?? and Wlyd

I/m sticking with David Quinn but I wouldn't mind any of the above.

David Quinn

It's going to take 4 years which is less then 5.

And another realization of why I just don't post here much anymore

1) He never said 3 years. In fact has never put a time limit on. 2) McNabb has been a healthy scratch half the season, no matter how many times you bring up his name all he still can't skate. 3) He's has been through 3 drafts, the first being a historically weak draft. 95% of NHL draft choices take at least two years to make an appearance. 4) None of the defenseman brought in with the exception of Kulikov were part of the long term plan. 5) If the team didn't quit on their coach after break they would be challenging for a playoff spot in spite of missing their two top forwards for the first two months of the season. 6) Finally, hopelessly flawed is just plain ridiculous. They are two defenseman away from being a solid playoff team.

not only has Lehner been outstanding, he has done it while playing behind the worst defense in the league(not my words)
