Sabres need scoring period. It's good to get a Moulson who's a triggerman himself but there are concerns about any player on the wrong side of 30. Hate to be pessimistic but I don't see him returning next year either. He likes it on the NYI and I can see him going back there. Imagine, what a concept. A player actually resigning for anything other than money.
I can't say this trade energizes Sabre Nation but it's with a sigh of relief that the Sabres don't get stuck empty-handed after the season. Vanek surely wouldn't have returned and I expected Regier to just let the contract expire while a Sabre. So that is good.
That said Buffalo hasn't had any luck drafting scorers and this is a supposedly weak draft year...
-
well at least Dallas is at the very bottom of the West.

Bflo is just following the Penguin's blueprint. Some years you have to totally tank. Not half-tank like the Sabres have been doing the last umpteen years.

Is it me or does this board have an unhealthy obsession with Nail Yakupov?
Well I was watching the Oilers the other day with Devin Dubnyk in net...they could use a Ryan Miller to make them competitive...although Yakupov is a bit of a showboat for being such a youngster.
-
Hmmm....Nail Yakupov was benched...
-
I'm amused that he became an untradeable disaster basically right on cue with the timeline I tossed out there.
Why did fans understand this two years ago but our GM could not? The Sabres are a fun distraction for me after work, but this is Regier's job after a lifetime of hockey.
I heard Darcy falls in love with some of his players. :wub:
-
I'm thinking Darcy got Ristoleinen and Zadorov as a hedge against Myers and others who might not be working out. Myers confidence as a d-man is shot unfortunately. He's doing a lot of standing around at crucial times. Weber, who is also prone to stupid mistakes does not help as his partner...They are awful together. I'd try Myers as a forward for awhile because he seems clueless at D. I like the fact that Weber and Ott are like brothers but I don't think Weber's all that good and Ott, who shouldn't be on the top line w Vanek-Hodgson, is playing as if he's already elsewhere.

CJ! This is a new kind of Bills team that actually hangs in the game even though they get kicked around a little. It's not like other years. I'm a fan of EJ Manuel but don't think the Bills offense are experienced enough to run a no-huddle. With their running game, I'd like to see them eat clock.

Kassian to be suspended for breaking Sam Gagne's jaw with a high stick.

In a related story...there's said to be a link found between losing sports teams and heavier fans...http://minnesota.cbs...s-heavier-fans/
looks like I scooped today's Sunday Buffalo News!

Pro hockey players should be able to connect with 10-15 ft passes, this team can't even manage that.
hopefully rolston can change this lunkhead culture that was created by Ruff.

They've been working on our souls for years. We are now totally morally bankrupt and unable to tell right from wrong and that's what we're teaching our kids, who are even more of an ethical blank slate that we are. This folks is the last stop in the Twilight Zone.

I know it's slick, cool and fashionable to love Breaking Bad but the whole idea of its popularity, like Dexter, like Walking Dead, totally escapes me. It sickens me to think of what meth really does to people and how people are finding this, as well as serial killers and gruesome images of death hip popular entertainment. Don't want to spoil the party but we're losing our souls.

I would think that Grabovski would be a good acquisition for the Sabres. He definitely has an axe to grind with Carlyle and the Leafs at the very least.
-
Wrong?
Let me help you out, genius. Here is a copy of last season's media guide:

When you get done looking at it, let me know who weighs more, Stafford or Vanek.
Sounds like you have a firm grip on the trivial and petty minded, while entirely missing the big picture. There's no need to get hostile over stupid things like weight.
-
I'm pretty sure no one was offended by that.
any self respecting fan would be, and run him out of town for disrespecting the fans. Too bad many of us have lost respect for ourselves.
-
Right. And you said:
"I don't think after 17 years he understands that blue collar character that Buffalo fans can get behind."
So, what is your point?
The point is, 14 years ago is ancient history and 1999's blue collar team was mainly built by Muckler.
-
I felt that the 1999 Cup Finals team was a blue collar team. Darcy was there. He saw what they were capable of, and how much the area got behind that team.
that was 14 years ago.
-
Bull. Plenty of guys have been traded outta the blue.
You now what i don't get? How come stafford (6'2 225) doesn't throw his weight around? I mean not just with hitting, but he's not very bruiser like either. Same with Vanek. If you got size, use it.
I was reading the great book about roller hockey "Wheelers, Dealers, Pucks and Bucks." They were writing about the 1994 champion Buffalo Stampede and their character. They said that the Stampede wasn't built on finesse and great goaltending but on brawn and bad behavior.
Over the years I think Darcy has got these types of flawed skill players like Stafford who stay on the perimeter and don't like to mix it up.
Darcy doesn't get it...he is an elitist. I don't think after 17 years he understands that blue collar character that Buffalo fans can get behind.

Apparently staff for alex bumestrov ( Nikita Filatov 2.0) was close. But maybe we dodged a bullet...and maybe the peg did too.
Vanek Traded to NYI for Matt Moulson, 1st in 2014 (or 2015!), 2nd in 2015; 4 Months Later: Moulson to MN for 2014/2016 2nd Rounders

I know Vanek is a sniper but I could never warm up to the guy. I think he is selfish; it was all about him. Vanish might be able to carry a team on his back for awhile and he has amazing hands but I got tired of how unenthusiastic he always was and his cryptic comments. And he'd disappear for long stretches, his endurance is suspect and I got the feeling he never wanted to be in Buffalo, especially after signing an offer sheet with Edmonton of all teams so long ago. I feel like even though we gave him a huge contract, he was some kind of elitist, like Hasek, somehow above Buffalo.
FU Vanek. I think a black cloak has been lifted on this team since his departure and the arrival of the much more affable, and very talented Moulson is the same difference and will greatly add to team chemistry.
