  1. oh and i can definately see Seatle and Q city being added by 2015 draft, they have the arena's , just need some financial backing wich won't be much of an issue in either city and we have 32 teams :D

     

     

    Getting Mcdavid would be great, but to be honest, Crosby/malkin have only won it once while everyone thought they would have 3 times by now.

  2. My two cents:

     

    Murray can now do whatever he wants in the hockey department without having to go back PLF, no offense but murray was brought in to run things, PLF could give advice but the final call should always be the gm's.

     

    But we shouldn't be to hars on all of them, maybe some conflicts showed up lately, but doubt there was any malice or ill wil from any side. PLF still seems like a great guy and a true sabres fan, lets not forget that. That being said, its weird he got his old job with the NHL back so quickly though.

  3. Upon taking a closer look, this kid has a ###### ton of upside. Something Murray said in his press conference tipped me off... he said that they considered him to be a first round talent that had injury trouble the year before his draft, which lowered his draft position. And it's true.

     

    THW said he was top-30 initially, then lowered him only to 38th:

    CSS ranked him 18th among North American skaters in their Final 2013 Rankings, and listed him as an 'A' skater in their 2013 preliminary rankings (check out his peers in the 'A' category here). Those final rankings put him above Max Domi, above Zadorov, above Lazar, above Morin, and well above Compher and Bailey.

     

    If TM knows his young talent, this could turn out to be a much bigger piece of the trade than it seems on the surface.

     

    Pretty much my sentiments, TM even made me think he wanted him more than rattie.

  4. In an ideal world they win the cup with the blues and come back and sign with us. :P

     

    But im going to miss Miller time for real, I liked him more than hasek even, says enough for me.

     

    As for Ott i never really cared much for him, but am going to miss his attitude.

     

     

    edit:just been watching the interviews.

    Seeing how gutted Ryan miller is, I think if we are contending in 3yrs, he'll want to be back.

    Ott we might have lost forever, The blues have so many hockey friends for him he'll hang around.

     

    As to what is coming back, Carrier seems to be a prospect Murray was following alot, maybe was higher on his list than Rattie.

    He clearly stated he expected him to be a 1st rounder last year, but that fell back because of injuries. This is someone he has had his eye on for some time.

     

    Halak + Stewart well it can't hurt to have an extra NHL level goalie this season, but i hope enroth gets his shot at #1 and he played like one tonight.

    Stewart to me is an asset he can turn around this or next trade deadline as well.

  5. Great post. I would rather overpay Miller to avoid Goalie Purgatory than throw money at a player like Callahan. We can develop that player.

     

    Zemgus !!!

     

     

    I'd still sign callahan though, if he wants to play for the sabres, be at home and all that, he'll take 5.5 mill a year.
