One of the factors that could benefit the Sabres in signing some of these college FA's is the ability to guarantee NHL ice time for the remainder of the season. IIRC, this was a factor in being able to sign Ruhweedel (sp?) last year over some of his other suitors. Now obviously that didn't turn him into a NHL player, but winning the bidding war at least gives us first look.
Absolutely, I watched some of Bailey's stuff, he has a nice shot. I'm all about signing him and O'Connor should we have the opportunity.

We are 7 points up at the coyotes , now edmonton is looking more scary to me :P
Also Toronto's game is the only one i see us winning in a long while now untill we meet up with the coyotes at the end of the month.
They have no reason to lose that game. They have too much talent to lose to a line of D'Amigo-Schaller-Deslauries (as an example). Unless they just totally give up and sit Kessel, JVR, Reilly and half their roster.

Can't believe Willis is already retiring. Wonder if it's because he's been banged up a bit recently and wants to preserve his body, or he sees the 49ers as a rapidly growing tire fire and wants nothing to do with it.
Honestly, he's always been very humble from the day he was drafted. He has enough money to likely walk away. He might not want to deal with pain for the rest of his life. It is a very honorable trait that few have. Good for him to go out on his terms.
-
Where is the Willis retirement post coming from?
-
Sabotka actually isn't a free agent. He owes one more year to the Blues when he returns to the NHL.
Okay, well scratch that off. Good to know.

Offensive:
Carl Soderberg, Jaromir Jagr, Michal Frolik, Matt Beleskey, Andrej Sekera, Johnny Boychuk
Secondary:
Brad Richardson, Vladimir Sabotka
Goalies:
Michal Neuvirth
I think for various reasons there are guys like Frolik, Sobotka that could really help this team while still in their mid to late 20's. I have reservations on Beleskey as this is his first 20 + goal season. Neuvirth, Niemi and Dubnyk are the creme de la creme of the unrestricted goalie market and I'm not really sold on anyone there.
Via Trade:
Offensive: Ryan O'Reilly,
Goalies: Jonathan Bernier

stuff like this is another reason I love hockey... I embedded the video so more people will watch
Man, that tear jerked me. What an awesome thing. Go Duncan Keith. Props on that! I love hockey above and beyond all else. *Edits, except my girlfriend. :LOL:
-
I've been impressed with Varone since late last season. I love how he plays and he stuck with it to put it in past Hammond last night. It wasn't pretty, but he just gets it. He's also humble. Grigorenko seems to have grown up a lot this season and you could tell in his post game after his first call-up game.
-
Arizona won last night, adding some distance. Nice showing overall by Mike Smith. Now if Edmonton could win a game or three.
-
Not to be a hater but Antti Niemi is not the answer. Hes too slow and just doesn't fit that well. Id so rather just bring back Neuvirth. Younger, and cheaper
Pominville is a UFA? Thats very interesting.
-
This trade of the four yesterday seemed the most obvious. He was playing very well and he had played his way onto the trade market. It makes sense for the Islanders with the lack luster performance of Johnson, though his last 3-4 starts have been more encouraging. Either way they got an additional asset in a weak goalie market. It seemed to me that Murray in some cases found good fits for these four guys and let the assets be a little more flexible. I was surprised Flynn was traded.
-
Time to fire Ted Nolan. Enjoy. Mitchell's return was terrible, IMO.
-
I'm okay with Flynn moving on, He's been a consummate professional on the ice and in the locker room. Those kind of guys can be replaced with Larsson, and others. We're still waiting on the Neuvirth, Stewart, Meszaros, Benoit arena. Unless an unusual move comes forth on Ennis, I don't see anything but the regular cast of moves between now and 3:00PM EST.
-
Connolly costing two seconds just tells you that Chiarelli is trying to not lose his job. That's a terrible trade for Boston IMO.
-
Of course the Flyers want Voynov.

I usually hate reporting what's NOT happening, but LA has not traded Slava Voynov to PHI. #TradeCentre
-
Well its the day that we've been looking for: The Stewart's, Mitchell's, Meszaros, etc are up on the chopping block. I really though that Philly got the better of that deal for Coburn. Some fans believe that they paid what Coburn is worth. Well here's my feeling, he's been irrelevant for at least 2 plus years.
-
Left field prediction: Stewart and a Dman to Tampa for a prospect.
Rumors out there is in the right deal they're willing to trade Dominik Masin, who is an intriguing prospect.
-
The Rangers re-signed Mats Zuccarello for 4 years at 4.5M per McKenzie.
-
It was a big return for Yandle as far as I'm concerned, I would assume the second pick is a 2nd.
-
Need room for Gostisbehere and Morin. Maybe this means they are planning on re-signing Del Zotto because you'd expect him to be moved if they are truly selling.
They've also resigned Schultz for their bottom pair. They do need to get more mobile and younger on the blue line. Morin and Ghostisbehere definitely start that.
-
Just a crazy conspiracy theory. Stewart has done plenty to increase his trade value over the past two months. Why risk injury by playing him last night? Maybe Murray is trying to show other GM's he's willing to keep Stewart if he doesn't get a legit offer. Of course the other part of that theory is it's a big bluff. Trade Stewart to better the tank.
Could be, but as he's repeatedly stated, he will make the deal with any pending UFA's if there is an offer. He'll be dealt one way or another.
-
Okay well now all this Vermette hold-up is done, I except for Stewart to be the next rental forward off the board along with Glencross. Lets go Boston, if you want to save your season and GM/HC its time to pay up. Not that I really care because I have no issue watching Chiarelli and company failing. :)
-
Good thing nobody said they have faith in MacTavish. :P
That's true, but there was a comment in having faith in Murray over MacTavish. My thought is, water is wet. MacTavish had a decent run with Edmonton to a cup appearance. Aside from that, since being hired, he's done nothing but furthermore ruin the franchise along with Howe and Tambelini before him.
-
I have more faith in Tim Murray than Craig McTavish.
Having faith in MacTavish, is like admitting that your preferred source for rumors is Eklund. There is a complete disconnect there, in my opinion.

What's a nice deal for a FB, Miller from SF, got I believe a base of a little over the 1.3M territotry. It shouldn't be too high.
