Can we please get this tank back on track??
-
And now Ted Nolan is hemming and hawing. TPegs screwed the pooch on this one letting Murray go around Lafontaine. As I said before if the Sabres lose Nolan, this is more than a P.R. blunder. It is a major screw up. Nuts this is very disappointing.
TN has done a reasonable job for sure but he is replaceable. Without sounding like TM I agree that you are in or you are out. If he hasn't made a decision by the end of the week I would be making the decision for him.
-
If there was ever a time for a trade it's right now. I hope Tm is still working the phones while this other drama continues.

This is a very good deal for the Sabres. They get a decent prospect, a 1st round pick and a potential additional 1st round. Halak is a piece to be moved later.
At 26 years old, an extension for Stewart should become a priority. He has all the attributes a team looks for. This is a guy I can see part of something special when this team is taking that step to contender status 3-4 years from now.
Good job by TM. Looking forward to more moves.
I agree with all of this, I'm in no hurray to trade Stewart. Could end up like lupal for the leafs where a change of scenery got this guy back to his previous high form.
Didn't the blues trade a bunch to pry him out of Colorado just a couple I years ago?
-
So if the blues win two rounds we end up with a late first this year, a first next, Stewart, halak and a prospect, pretty decent haul for two good rentals.
-
It becomes a first round pick in 14 instead of a third if the Blues make the Conf final or Miller re signs with the Blues
Either Miller resigns or they make the conference finals. Methinks this pick will be a 2014 first.
Time to be a huge blues fan!!

Quite a few players had good years in the shortened season last year and aren't doing much of anything this year. So I'll continue to ignore most numbers from last year.
Well if ur ignoring last yr then his big yrs were only two and three yrs ago or as others have said he's only had one poor statistical season.
-
Stewart is as inconsistent as they come. Stewart has just 26 points in 58 games on a very good team. 30 in 79 games two years ago. He's not a top six player.
He also led the blues in scoring last yr and love him on Colorado, I think he's a great third liner or second liner who is physical

I'm taking my five year old daughter to the daddy daughter dance tonight at her school. She hasn't stopped talking about it all week and is very excited to get all dressed up to go out tonight. That shapes up for a pretty fantastic Friday night.
That sounds cool man, have fun.

So our trade returns will be high draft picks and low end grinders, no marquee players acquired through trade or free agency... Interesting, Mr. Murray must not be getting the responses he thought he would get for our assets
When you say marquee players do you mean very young guys likely in other teams farm systems? Because no big name players will be traded to us at the deadline. They need those players for their playoff push.
-
All this talk of injury is ridiculous.... Fine by that logic, don't let miller drive anywhere until he's traded for fear of an accident, and always have someone test his food before he eats to see if it's poisoned..... How often are goalies seriously injured, the answer is not very often (barring a lucic sighting).... Let the guy play until he is traded (if he is traded)
You knock on wood God Damit! Knock on wood!
-
You would think the Sabres are not very close to a trade with him starting tonight. I guess that one is going to go right down to the deadline.
-
Thanks guys, the trade deadline rumors/discussions and draft talk is a lot more interesting than the games this season.
It sure is. Basically all year things have been leading up to the deadline. I think I may feel a cold coming on close to Wednesday.

BUF GM Tim Murray is open to taking offers on virtually every player on his roster. Teams looking for D will be calling on Ehrhoff/Myers.
There's no guarantee he'll be traded, but BUF asked Christian Ehrhoff for list of 8 teams he doesn't want to be traded to (per his NTC).
2/28 Darren Dreger on WGR <12:28>
Everytime I see your name as the last post I get a little more excited that something has gone down! Keep up the good work on those tweets Corner (especially for those of us without twitter accounts/experience).

How good of a prospect is Shane Prince? I had never heard of him until a few days ago (not saying that negatively I truly just don't know). Is it realistic to get him for Ott, which is like a 1st round pick at least probably if as many teams as advertised are interested in him? Or would we give up Ott plus a few draft picks maybe like a 2nd and 4th for him. Whats would his value be you think?
Ya it sounds like we should get more out of that deal after doing some more reading on him. I honestly have no idea what Ott will bring back in a trade I guess. I would think pretty decent and if it's Ottawa I would try and get a draft pick out of them as they are no lock to win a playoff round. I'd much rather get a 1st out of Ottawa then a 1st out of a powerhouse in the west or Pitt or Boston in the east.
Then again if it's Murray trading for him I'd feel at ease as I'm sure he has the most intimate knowledge of their farm/young players.
-
Just for fun what would be the return from Ottawa? Shane Prince? He fits the bill of a decent prospect a couple of years into his development. There was obviously that other stuff about wanting out of Ottawa as well.
-
Wayne Scanlan, a reporter for the Ottawa Citizen.
Ahhhhh, thanks.
So if the deal is in place then why has there been no announcement yet? If this is true, it must be announced soon as there's no way Ott would play tomorrow night.

https://twitter.com/...HockeyScanner�� One GM said today he believes the Sabres already have a deal in place to move Steve Ott. Ott is one of several expected Buffalo trades

Who the heck is hockeyscanner and why does it say the page does not exist when you click on it? I think this may be closer to the less substantiated BS.

We are 9 points behind 3rd worse with 1 game in hand and 23 games to play. If we go .500 during that span it gives us 65pts. So roughly speaking if Florida and Calgary win 7 of their last 24 games they should be able finish with more points than us, unless anyone really believes we can do better than .500 the rest of the way?
If we play .500 the rest of the way fine. I worry about playing over .500. But as others have mentioned, if Miller goes, my fears will greatly decrease. I guess I've just seen this rerun too many times now. I also saw what Teddy was able to do with a Latvian club devoid of talent.
-
My concern is if we continue to win and end up in 2nd and lose the lottery, thus drafting 3rd. Now there's a good chance Edmonton is ahead of us and if they are they will likely take Ekblad. But if we pick 3rd and both Sam's go 1 and 2 I would seriously give a lot more thought to take Ek over someone like LD or Dal Colle. I would also be trying to trade up a spot or 2 if we end up in 3rd but if we can't then I I'm not sure which way to lean. Probably Dal Colle but I'd be OK with going Ek in that spot and try moving one of our young D.
-
Nice to see the Sabres' annual de-tanking is underway. Sixth overall pick, here we come!
If we trade Miller I'm not too concerned as it's rare we will put up 5 in a night (which we will need to do regularily). Having said that, a loss tomorrow night will make me feel much better.
-
Thought definitely crossed my mind.
Not the first or last conclusion I'll be jumping to in the next week.
Hhahahahha same.
-
I feel like Boston is about to come into buffalo and crush this team. Buffalo won last night but that also means they played last night. I could see something like 4-1 Boston with a few bumps and bruises on Buffalo's side.
Yep, especially with Enroth in net.
-
i dont know about that..... Tkachuck was traded for by the Thrashers the only year they made the playoffs and then went back to the Blues
I'm pretty sure it happened in Colorado once too but I'm blanking on who the player was right now. Adam Foote maybe?
OFFICIAL: Ryan Miller, Steve Ott to St. Louis for Chris Stewart, Halak, Carrier and two picks

I find this is just a tad bit of an overreaction. I believe that you are right that this team has not hit rock bottom as far as NHL talent goes but I find that to be perfect timing with what is being discussed as an incredible draft next season. Plus we have young guys already in the pipeline developing so it's not as if we don't have a young talent base forming, they are just doing it away from this tire fire of an NHL team (which I'm fine with). Give us a strong draft this year and next and we will start to see our patience pay off in three years time with plenty of term left on Myers and 'Hoffs contract. I would rather we start turning this thing around soon as well but give us one more year and we will be fine.
