    There's plenty of talent in the college ranks thats untapped. For example, look at NYR backup goaltender Cam Talbot. He was signed as a undrafted free agent from the University of Alabama-Huntsville. Exactly. Who? Also, one of the better undrafted free agent signings has to be by Brian Burke, Tyler Bozak.

    Bad example. Edmonton is a case that their "tank" period when the team was awful, came at a time where the drafts were offensive strong, but defensively weak. They didn't draft the wrong guys and miss out on studs that are making them look like fools now. Sabres on the other hand, have a very solid mix of youth as is and are extremely well build on defense. They are very weak in top-6 forwards category and Connor McDavid would be the biggest addition they could ever get for top-6.

    It's worth the risk and then dealing with the surplus of players later, if they can land a guy like Brian Flynn for nothing.

    I have been a strong and long supporter of Leon, dating back to the 2012/13 WJC. But, i am already sold on Sam Bennett. Not only from his video highlights, to his work ethic, to him loving Doug Gilmour and being mentored by him, to him being a "gamer" type player, in your face guy, he also loves to score. He's 17 years old now and projects 102 points over the course of 63 games. That is very similar to the numbers Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall had as 18 year old players in the OHL. As 18 year olds per 63 game comparisons- Seguin- 106 in 63 games.... pace of 1.7ppg Hall - 117 in 63... pace of 1.9ppg With only a small increase of PPG from this season to his 18yo season, Bennett will be projected to score at a higher rate then either of those two.

    More on Leon... 16g, 25a, 41pts since WJC (21 games) 11g, 16a, 27pts in last 11 games. He will be considered at length by whomever for #1 overall pick.

    Martin Biron pretty much did the same thing. Got send down to the minors and he decided he wasn't all about that and didn't want ride the bus and retired. Nobody on here was hating on Biron.

    Good call.

    To tell you the truth, i never even heard of him until trade deadline day but now that i've seen him twice with Buffalo, he very much reminds me of Dwight King of the Kings. Very good player. That would be a heck of a gain by Murray if this kid can become as successful as King.

    The big dog available is center Greg Carey. Has has put up very impressive numbers in each of his 4 seasons at St Lawrence, but the last 2 he has become an elite scorer. No doubt he will be the most coveted college free agent. The best d-men is 6'3 Finn Ahti Oksanen. He plays for Boston College. He is young, just 20yo, and plays on pairing on BC's defense. Great offensive game and great size. I don't think we will land either of the 2 big free agents, i do think there are few names to watch out for beyond the top 2. -Trevor van Riemsdyk - Brother of James, he plays defense and is a high scoring d-men. Plays for New Hampshire, plays a smart defensive game but scores at a high level. Currently is injured so i wonder how that will effect his stock? -Mark Zengerle - 24yo center plays on Wisconsin. Born in Rochester, plays a hard, in your face game. Has offensive talent but is an elite shutdown center in college ranks. Murray said he wants to bring back local players. Brian Flynn did wonders. He is a similar type player. -Shayne Taker - big 6'4 d-men for Notre Dame. I heard the Sabres had scouted him in the past few months, i forget where i heard it from, somewhere on radio i think it was mentioned. He reminds scouts of Dan DeKayser who was a college undrafted signing with Detroit who has turned out real well.

    No team has failed to get over the minimum salary yet and i don't think Murray will have issues either. As he said, it's a nonissue. It's amazing how carefree Murray seems about this yet its a big topic of conversation all over the place.

    It was said somewhere really recent (maybe even yesterday) from the D@C that the Sabres want Pysyk to learn more how to score. And that best place for that is in Rochester. So i think that's the big thing. The other thing is, Nolan said it around Christmas, losing is contagious and they need to be careful that they don't push guys into bad situations, which will effect their long term growth because of losing. Pysyk is gonna really give Girgensons a fight for his money (and whom ever else) to become a Captain of the Sabres, as LTS said, and being in Rochester gives him an opportunity to lead the team and be in every situation. I think they view Pysyk as a Duncan Keith type player, and he spend roughly 150 games in the AHL prior to going to Chicago.

    My mom still makes homemade paczki from time to time. Absolutely the best.

    Call me crazy, but i think they will be worse next year then this year. I think losing is contagious and it will have an effect on some players. I also believe players who finish strong this season, Ehrhoff and Stewert for example, could be dealt at the draft I'm not a mind reader but i think i see what Murray's vision is. Build a Calder Cup contender next year for Rochester, and tank to get a top-2 pick. 2015/16 line combinations thread will be a very interesting thread when the time comes.

    Torrey Mitchell probably got the same speech.

    You can't compare Moulson to Neuvirth. Moulson was an established player coming here. Neuvirth is a backup goalie who is a fringe NHLer, needing to come and fight his way back for another NHL contract. I also have no issues with not retiring 30 or having someone else wear it. Just give it some time. Five days after a Miller trade is a bit redic, coming from the ownership who tried to bring back the alumni and cried for Gil. Those memories Pegula had of Gil from his childhood that made him cry as a grown man are similar memories many fans have of Miller. Hopefully the day was just overwhelming for the Sabres equipment crew, he gave his request and with it being a busy day, they went with it but hopefully the upper management tomorrow realizes what the equipment staff did and fixes it. It'd be a shame if they didn't.

    Apparently he hated playing for Alain Vigneault.

    The "secret" team in talks for Vanek appears to be San Jose. Deal could be worked out tonight. Something to watch but wow what an attack they will have if it comes true.

    Losing is contagious and Ehrhoff must be hating life. Best thing Sabres could do is trade him. More time for players of the future, save some money and add assets, all while making Ehrhoff happy. We're gonna be terrible, with or without Ehrhoff, so why keep him? He could be useful somewhere else.

    I'd take Prince or Matt Puempel with Hoffman too. Puempel is a very interesting player who also may be available. Also a Murray-guy. But, zero chance Ducks trade Gibson. Essp for Ehrhoff.

    Joe Micheletti said during last night's broadcast, that several GMs he's spoken to, told him that deals will start to come in this weekend.
