SABRES 0311

So Gianta and Moulson, what is it you say you do here?

I love the Sabres pass philosophy which entails just shoot the Puck off the boards or into your teamates feet. I hope Crosby gets drilled from behind into the boards.

Our goalie tandem has been decent given the number of shots faced. However Enroth against Sid and Malkin makes me want to puke. I think they both score tonight.

But do you think he is a 4 mil player? Honestly I don't think we have seen it in his short time here but if he can take on Lucic type guys and put up 20 goals then OK. Give him some money. Now to argue myself. I don't think any of our players will reach their potential this year.

Why

By lighting it up I presume you mean production wise. With that said, given his other attributes you listed I see no reason to let him go. I agree he will not get Crosby money but a player with the above attributes is who some thought Foligno would be. If he can start producing why not 3yrs/2 mil per. This is about half of what he is currently making and the pay cut would help in a potential trade if he sucks. I think TM would have to explain to him why he is not a 4 mil player and besides Myers and Moulson/Ennis no Sabre is getting a good offer from other teams next year. Bottom line I like him but I also liked Hodgaon before he disappeared and Reinhart before he looked like a teenage pu$$y in the icecapades. These are both different topics but the point is lets just see how he does under Nolan and then hopefully under a coach who doesn't wish for effort but demands and instills it.

You mean in 15 years when we are saying Murray needs to go? J/K

Not a fan of tampon commercials

What a day. Welcome to Buffalo. Welcome back Matty.

Pronger and one of our 2015 seconds for a their 2015 first. (Salary dump for more McDavid chances) Anton Volchenkov for our 2015 3rd. With 3 (now 4 first rounders) we can afford to give up one of our 2nds and 3rd next year. I missed when e got Pronger.

haha. and weber too.

Cant we all just get along? Lets hug it out everyone.

I agree. Good poll three years from now.

Martin Brodeur, G (NJ) -- looking for any role on a contender. How about assistant skate sharpener? No doubt one of the best to ever sit between the pipes but he is quickly becoming the Ken Shamrock of hockey. I wouldn't mind seeing Stastny as a Sabre

While drafting at number 2 is exciting, I am looking forward to draft day trades. It starts with the speculation from the broadcast booth and ends with B-man getting bood. I know the mess wont be fixed with this one draft but I have a feeling TM wont settle for just picks.

ya know whats cool about having Mr Money bags as an owner? We can do the same thing to Edm as they did to us with Vanek. The difference being they have 4 stars we can do it to over a few years. I doubt we do it but it would be sweet to financially break a Canadian team.

At what point is Pegula going to complete the coup d' etat and become GM? :w00t:

Is that you Lance Armstrong? This thread is about as dedicated Sabres hockey as the who cares what you eating or drinking one. But hey its summer.

I just read another rumor about Hank coming back to mentor our 6'8'' let down. I think its a subject that's already been discussed

at least there is Ninja Warrior

But you know pics or it didn't happen

Not many people care about a future career AHLer. LOL I was so into the FA frenzy I had 6 windows open for rumors and sources. And yes Ecklund was there too but only so I could get a first hand experience of his work. I must say, you are all right in your assessment of him. Every deal he "broke" was 15-20 minutes after mainstream. However I did read my original statement somewhere else. If I could recall Id post it. Seems like a shift in DR tactics. From wanting too much in return to wanting too little.

And something about Enroth being #1 kinda makes me nervous. He has potential but he didn't get a lot of play under Ruff. Id like to see him get a lot more time if we maintain the current roster.

In a 48 game post lock out season I didn't really care. For a full season Id like to see something resemble a NHL level team. So what iif we over pay a bit on a FA or two. We would be in good company and its not like we haven't done it before. If Vanek decides to stay on for the long haul Im good and Im sure we can get something useful for Stafford.

with reports DR isn't open to taking money back, makes me think he is trying to trade for just picks and prospects. :wallbash: :doh:
