It's official now. GMTM hates Russian players.
-
Definitely. In fact, Terry should grant Vesey a one-time dinner date with Kim in exchange for a signed ELC.
-
Where is it. Post it. Actually, I would love the be at the draft and casually leave behind various fake team draft sheets. I would leave some by the condiments, in a bathroom stall, etc.
-
Or even worse, Russ Brandon sightings.
-
This. I just don't want GMTM's MO of trading away 1st round draft picks to become his norm. He has already dumped off too many 1st rounders for my liking. I don't want this to become a pattern. Not good enough. The Bills were elite for about 4-5 years and we all know what happened next.
-
We definitely don't know what we're getting with #8, but I trust GMTM will pick the right one. What's even more vaporware is a pick in 20-30 range, which I hope where we'll be drafting for the foreseeable future. #8 is a unique situation I doubt we'll sniff for awhile.
-
True. But there's going to come a time when we have a lot of great vets that are going to be clamoring for huge contracts. What happens then? We'll have the unload them and I hope we have decent replacements in our system to fill the void. If we don't, we'll be heading for another rebuild. We can't let this team get too top heavy.
-
Mortgaging the future by trading away top-10 picks is the exact thing that will place us in a perpetual rebuild. We may be great for the next 4-5 years, but what happens after that when we can't afford our players and the cupboards are bare? Blow it up again by trading off all our overpriced vets? We're going to need a steady stream of quality players.
-
I want to win now...but also 4 years from now. We shouldn't deplete our system of prospects just to win now.
-
That's a very reasonable approach. Let him speak to teams and then pick 3 teams he would be happy with. Once you get that list, you play each team against each other to get the best trade. Each team will not want to wait until Aug 15th for fear of being traded to another team he'll sign with. Win-win situation for everyone.
-
Makes perfect sense. Thanks.
-
Not directed at you, but someone has to help me out with these "offensive" defenseman vs "defensive" defenseman. I really don't understand why we would need a defenseman to produce offense for us when we already have offensive players? Why exactly would we need a defenseman to run our PP?
-
No warning needed. I can confirm this rumor. So, in effect, it's no longer a rumor: Boston fans are . Is the ink dry yet?
-
The same could be said for any other team talking up Vesey's ear; he should be grown up enough to make his own decision. But, it's still tampering. Hell, people are acting like a 23 year-old is some old curmudgeon set in his ways. This dude is still a kid who is going to absorb stuff people say to him. If I'm the Sabres, I wouldn't call the league as that could sour relationships, but I would be calling Toronto to remind them of the rules.
-
This will be the Las Vegas club, right? Maybe Vesey has a gambling problem and has been pining to play in Vegas.
-
But, his Dad said...
-
I think if GMTM really wanted either of them, he very well could've sent their teams a 5th rounder. But, he didn't. He must have other plans.
-
I don't think being a top 6 player or being on a championship contender are the deciding factors in his decision. He was promised both in Nashville. And neither is money for that matter.
-
Sounds like a dick to me. He better grow some man balls and realize that just playing in the NHL is an opportunity relatively few get. Makes you sympathetic to guys who just want a huge payday, this guys a whole different beast. And I hate young hockey players' dads.
-
And that'll be the contract he'll present to other teams. Let's hope it's not matched.
-
I'm not going to hold my breath he signs with Buffalo. The guy has already shown he won't hesitate to eff a team. Plus, he obviously felt he owed nothing to the team who drafted him, so I doubt he gives preference to a team who traded for him. I really hope he signs, but we need to be prepared for him to stick to his guns and hit FA in August, just like he promised his old team.
-
Yep. Minor detail. Just like the deflated balls.
-
What's the Instagram post?
-
That and how exactly can a player who had a NMC be traded to us? Wouldn't he have had to waive that NMC before being traded to us?
-
I'm pretty sure Stankos will use us as a bargaining chip with Toronto. He's from Toronto, but wouldn't want to play there? And what better team is out there that is able to and would overpay for him than ours? Pretty much the same thing happened with Babcock.
