    Are you trying to say thats not a shot of downtown Buffalo? (Or atleast the stretch of the parade through Niagara Falls NY?)

    It will be telling if they make a move for a goalie. Can't see them doing anything if Price isn't actually Day to day. If they make a move, the injury is worse then its being reported right now. Wonder if the Canadians and Halak would be open to a reunion with him going back to be Prices backup? I wouldn't want Budaj though, if they are going to get a goalie back in any deal it i would prefer a young almost ready to be a full time starter in the NHL (Gibson), or someone who has shown flashes of being a good NHL starter stuck behind a better one (Fasth, maybe Neuvirth) I don't remember the 2 having personal issues with each other though, Halak just wanted to be a starter and was fighting Price for the spot. Canadians chose Price over Halak so Halak was gone. atleast thats what I remember

    i have heard that for a while, the top teams are interested in whats available, but they don't want to pay the asking prices at this time.And why should they, the bottom feeder teams should gladly move their assetts over to the top teams for cheap just for the chance to help the better teams win a cup! Brodeur possibly moving to the Wilds, Edmonton extending Scrivens, the Ducks and Canes both basically saying teams can try to get one of their goaltenders, the secondary market is going to be very thin for goalies cause there aren't many looking for a rental

    Rock Bottom apparently

    And I don't think there was ever any indication that his reason for leaving was because he demand power from the Islanders organisation and they wouldn't listen to his every idea, The reason for leaving was because he disagreed with the direction Wang was taking the team when he turfed the GM that was brought in with Lafontaine for Snow. Why would he stay in an unpaid position in a situation where they brought him on for his advice and his advice isn't being taken? I would have left too instead of staying there wasting my time. They obviously didn't need him if they wouldn't listen to his advice.

    And he was brought in to be an adviser without getting compensated for it. By hiring him as an advisor, they are asking him to provide advise.If I was brought into a position where they asked for my advise and my advise was never taken, I wouldn't waste my time anymore and have no problems leaving a job I'm not being paid for.

    Without reading the bold line I was already going to comment that getting texts from your bartender of your favorite bar (and not your wife at your bar in the basement) is probably a sign that you may want to go attend some meetings.........That sounds like something that would happen with Barney from the Simpsons

    No one is saying the deal for Halak has to contain a goalie coming back though, they could work out another deal that includes a goaltender who actually looks like he can play in the NHL.If i was Murray, i would be looking at the Ducks and trying to get Fasth, if they won't give up Gibson, in a deal for either a defencemen or forward while dealing Halak to the Wild (or Philly), or use a 3rd and try to get Neuvirth from the Capitals. I would be looking to make a deal for a goaltender who can compete with Enroth for the #1 job now if disrupting the minor league teams playoff hopes isn't allowed. of course I would be looking to try and make this team credible and competitive now with an eye towards the future, instead of throwing away the present and putting all the hope in the future.
  9. apuszczalowski
    Yeah, i can't see any legal way that a deal could be made and hold up, where they can put a condition on what happens to the player once their contract is fulfilled
  10. apuszczalowski
    Well you could wear it with a black armband........Still, it would be a nice gesture by the front office during these tough times to do something for the fans and help them out so they don't end up having to get all new jerseys.......
  11. apuszczalowski
    I know, but they had him, along with Roy, Leopold, Ott, Miller, etc.
  12. apuszczalowski
    ok, thats 3 years to just get the Saviour, how many years to put it all together on the ice and actually get to the cup?Is Callaghan willing to sign up for 3-5 years of the basement for the small chance that everything goes right and they become cup contenders after that? Do people really think that the Sabres will go from where they are now, in the Sub-Basement of the league, to cup contenders in a matter of 3 years? It will probably be 3 years just to be in conctention for a playoff spot
  13. apuszczalowski
    It starts and ends with Ehrhoff for Drew miller Straight up.Drew comes to Buffalo, is assigned the number 30 and it allows the Sabres to look good to its fans because all of the Miller Jerseys out there won't go to waste and can still be worn
  14. apuszczalowski
    I'm almost certain Halak is gone before Wednesday, but I think if they don't get anyone back in another trade, they would bring up hackett or someone else from Rochester to ride out the season over Dubnyk
  15. apuszczalowski
    they could easily just bring up Hackett or the other guy in Rochester to finish out the year if they don't have a deal for anyone else after Halak is moved.Probably get better results, and it would give us the chance to throw Enroth under the bus and pump the tires of the amazing inexperienced backup who looked good for a couple games..........
  16. apuszczalowski
    So are the blues basically Sabres (Mid)West?
  17. apuszczalowski
    Nah, this is the point where we all think things are going up from, then they come back and we reach a whole new level of rock bottom after Wednesday
  18. apuszczalowski
    Rinne might be starting against the Pens Why? They would probably get the same results from the office guy they suited up on Friday night
  19. apuszczalowski
    TSN is saying he is there at the arena, just not on the ice and Murray says he hasn't been traded
  20. apuszczalowski
    Thats basically what i was saying earlier, that they give him this offer to keep him around for the tough times making him work with zero talent and kids, then will drop him for TMs guy once they get to the point where they are ready to compete. If TM brings in his guy know, this team will be facing another PR nightmare with fans furious that they would let go of nolan again after what he has done with the team. TM also will risk the fan base turning on his coach early if he doesn't turn this team around quickly (I'm talking about the hundreads of thousands of fans out there who also follow the team but not on the internet 'boards, not the ones here who support "the Tank"). Ted has shown enough with his job at the olympics and what he has done with the Sabres that he could get opportunities at another job in the league even if he leaves the Sabres right now unless theres issues about him that only NHL front offices know that scare them away, and if thats the case, it doesn't matter if he stays here or goes, he won't get another chance.
  21. apuszczalowski
    Do you think Ehrhoff is going to want to stick around here for a few more tire fire seasons? It will be a few years before anyone they are obtaining now even reach the NHL, let alone their potential and this team reaches a level where they are viewed as a serious cup contender. Ehrhoff had to be begged by TP to come here in the first place with the promise this team was going to be a cup contender real soon.
  22. apuszczalowski
    If the Ducks trade a goalie, its going to be FasthJust like the Blues, they aren't going to give up their goalie of the future in a deadline move. If they are going to move one, and would like to make a run in the playoffs Fasth is the guy to go
  23. apuszczalowski
    Thats the way it usually works, you may occasionally get one big one like the Friday deal, but then everything goes silent until about noon wednesday.everyone will complain about the rumors/hype and no action, then talk about how disapointing the deadline day has been with only a couple of minor moves have been made, then just slightly after 12 noon Wednesday the flood gates will open and moves will be coming in I wouldn't be surprised though if someone like Stewart is moved before the game tonight to Uncle Brian since it appears thats what he was obtained for.....
  24. apuszczalowski
    Why would he want to come here except to say he played for the team were he grew up. This team won't be a cup contender during his contract here, why would he want to waste the finally years of his career to go to a place he has no chance of winning in?
  25. apuszczalowski
    Thats why i think it has to do with the Direction of the team giving away all of its talent and Veterans for Lotto Tickets and Future Potential. I bet PLF wanted to turn things around quicker and not give everyone away with the hope that by doing this and acquiring tons of picks, they are somehow going to build some dynasty team. I wouldn't be surprised if the TM they interviewed was not the same guy they got when he showed up to work. PLF seems like an honest/prideful guy and not someone who would want to see a team "Tank" and try to lose in oreder to have a better chance to draft a Saviour. Maybe PLF thought they should be talking more to Miller and doing more to convince him to stay but TM decided that since he felt miller was gone that any talk they did have would be a show for the fans to make them believe they tried. I could also see an issue where they decided to give Nolan an extension with the idea that it would cover the lean/bad years and once they were ready to contend, he would be dropped for one of Murrays buddies who could take over the team then, basically making Nolan a fall guy while they rebuild through the draft.
