Not having quality goaltending has been a huge problem.

At least he waved goodbye

Schoenfeld. Had maybe a couple good years, but mostly poor. Always out of position but nobody seemed to care. I've never seen a Sabre make so many mistakes and barely hear a negative word about it.

I was at that game. It was incredible. Rico had so many great chances to score, just couldn't get it past the goalie.

Marion Hossa - to the Coyotes. AZ had plenty of cap space to absorb the contract and get something good in return. They've done this a few times, it's worked out well.

You really think the team is getting out of him what was expected with that contract?

He's overpriced because he's not living up to the contract he signed. He was the top free agent available at the time and he hasn't produced. I don't think the Hecht comparison is a good one. He was never a top flight top 3/6 forward.

Coyotes needed scoring. They have 2 excellent goalies, strong defense and speed. If Hall plays up to his capabilities and Kessel gets untracked, they are a legitimate contender. It's a great deal, They didn't give up their top prospects either.

Devils are picking up half his remaining salary, if that's what you were referring to.

98% ? Really?

You sure it was him?

How do we know he didn't ask respectfully? How has he burned bridges? Nothing on this thread suggests that he wasn't quiet and respectful Chirp? how about ask? It would seem to me he was either told or thinks he will be the odd man out , so why not ask for a trade.?

First playoff game I went to - Chicago in the 74-75 season. NHL All Star game The Who 1979

Maybe they told him he wasn't going to play much anymore with Dahlin back now. What would you do, just sit in the press box?

I don't think it's any harder than it was before. Injury prone, final year of contract so he's a rental, and a pretty hefty salary this season. Sabres don't have much cap space to eat anything either.
