Vanek Hodgson Foligno Ott Weber Ehrhoff, Leino, and Enroth I'd keep aswell Only if he returns to old form.

Fire Darcy, or bring in some new office talent around him including a new Assistant GM

I still want Jonathan Bernier from LA, I don't want a raw goalie prospect we have to wait for to become something. We need to blow up the team strategically, not entirely. I'm not waiting another 5 years to get a team in the playoffs......

:P Not a Sabre either. They would have to give us Kadri and 2 1sts to get Miller.

I would never trade a star to Toronto, I don't care if they give us two 1st Rounders. Same goes for Philly.

The Buffalo News said Anaheim was interested in Miller. He's still considered a great goalie, we aren't going to get nothing for him.......

The Ott penalty.... who cares Hodgson always seems to be the one to score goals when we need them. I'm really getting to like this kid's nose for the back of the net. Vanek, you need to take some of Enroth's coffee away from him and drink it. Win, win The rest of the team was just all over the place. Myers thinks he's a freaking winger. Why hasn't anyone mentioned Hodgson, he may be a faceoff horror story but he sure scores.

Anaheim is supposedly interested in Miller, Miller for Perry straight up?

I would of found a new D coach and traded for Tallinder by now. Myers and Ehrhoff are the future of the Sabres D, Ehrhoff needs to be able to play with a defensive D-man so he doesn't look at a mental crossroads at the point between pinching and falling back.

Miller won't be traded to Detroit seeing as Detroit joins our division next year. The Sabres need to stop half-assing everything, this team at its present form needs to be at least strategically blown up to rid ourselves of deadwood and gain young talent. We don't need to have a full firesale though, with some luck we could be back in the thick of things after next season. Let the youngsters play more, let's see how they play in the NHL so we can either move on or cut our losses.

At least Stafford is helping us by making his value go up again.

That's my top keeper, Vanek adds something that's hard to find in his deflection abilities + front of net presence while still have enough speed to get on break aways. Pominville is good but isn't the only reliable goal scorer in the NHL. Miller, I wouldn't trade to any team in the east but if I got Bernier from LA, I wouldn't mind seeing if Bernier and Enroth could split a season. Hell a team without Pommers, Miller, and Stafford wouldn't look terrible. From soft team last year to a pain in the ### next year. FORWARDS Thomas Vanek ($7.143m) / Cody Hodgson ($3.000m) / Corey Perry ($8.900m) Marcus Foligno ($0.900m) / Tyler Ennis ($2.813m) / David Clarkson ($3.467m) Steve Ott ($2.950m) / Mikhail Grigorenko ($1.775m) / Ville Leino ($4.500m) Patrick Kaleta ($1.250m) / Kevin Porter ($0.538m) / Corey Tropp ($0.778m) Brian Flynn ($1.250m) / Nathan Gerbe ($1.450m) / DEFENSEMEN Tyler Myers ($5.500m) / Christian Ehrhoff ($4.000m) Andrej Sekera ($2.750m) / Mike Weber ($1.500m) Alexander Sulzer ($1.025m) / Robyn Regehr ($2.520m) GOALTENDERS Jonathan Bernier ($2.125m) Jhonas Enroth ($0.861m) OTHER Buried: Cody McCormick ($0.275m) ------ CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter) (these totals are compiled with the bonus cushion) SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $50,118,274; BONUSES: $850,000 CAP SPACE (22-man roster): $4,731,726

I would try at least to keep 1 or 2 of the "CORE" because if we go all young, we have no hope for 3 to 5 years of having a good team. I'm not waiting another 5 years for the playoffs.....

https://twitter.com/DennisTFP/status/311898498599636992 His twitter was full of stuff about LA wanting Regehr and/or Leopold

Sabres are supposedly in talks as we speak with LA for a trade.

If I were to trade Miller, I'd send him to Anaheim, LA, or San Jose. Why? They are West coast teams with no chance of ever being in our conference. LA could fetch us Brown, Bernier/Quick and something small Ana could send us Hiller and Perry SJ..... I don't know

Flynn and Porter resurrected the old hard hitting, high flying Foligno we all loved. Nice goal by Vanek Stafford looks like he was actually trying, has to put it all out there for the scouts for sure.

LOL

What about Tomas Fleischmann, how much would Florida want for him and would we even want him?

Do you not understand...... They are compensation picks if Perry leaves after this season; seeing as why should we get screwed if he walks. It would just be insurance since a combination of Pommers,Leopold/Sekera,a D-prospect, and maybe even a 2nd/3rd rounder is easily worth 2 1sts and a 3rd rounder + Perry rental for a month. Pominville it at very least worth a 1st and a 2nd rounder, Leo/Sekera are around 2nd/3rd rounders + D-prospect and 3rd Rounder, In the end if Perry didn't sign with Buffalo after being traded here We would get Pommers for a 1st this year, and a 3rd next year. Leo/Sekera + D- Prospect + 3rd Rounder for next years 1st rounder.

I was meaning conditional compensation if Perry wouldn't sign.

What? Actually trying to think of trade ideas? You guys would practically trade half our team for 1 pick and be willing to wait 5+ years for us to even hope for a cup again. Corey Perry – $5.3 million. Asking price would likely be a roster player, 1st round pick and a good prospect. (ESPN) Roster player- Pommers is more than a common roster player We have good D- prospects Throw in a D-Man like Leopold/Sekera We may have to throw in a 2nd or 3rd rounder but nothing we can't recoup through other trades.

Pommers and a D-Prospect for Corey Perry + (Conditional 1st rounders this year + next and a 3rd rounder next year if Perry won't sign with us) Leopold for 2nd Rounder Stafford for 3rd Rounder Hecht for 2nd/3rd Rounder Adam for 4th Rounder Regehr for 2nd/3rd Rounder In the end we dump a bunch of rentals, Pommers, and 2 prospects for Corey Perry 1-3 2nd Rounders 1-3 3rd Rounders 1 4th Rounder If that all was worked out, next I would attempt to use 1 2nd rounder and 2 3rd rounder / 2 2nd Rounders to get a late 1st rounder off of someone.

New GM idea: Put Mike Robitaille in the GM's chair

These refs should be investigated after the game, additionally what's the link for the NHL complaint email? If you are going to throw out Scott, you throw out their guy too. Nice goal by Flynn and the Rochester Amerk line.
