He's becoming the scapegoat for a futile XGMTM move

That makes sense- Lehner didn't really do that much better than their other goalie, did he? I predict he cools off substantially in CHI

Murray thought he could use his great people skills to convince him to come to Buffalo

right. It's hard for me to interpret criticism of this move as anything other than disdain for Vesey himself

The pick's ceiling would probably be Vesey, and could realistically not make the NHL

I think your implication was obvious, and someone was just picking a fight ?

I pick living in NYC over Buffalo, and my wife tells me I need to grow up...

The article people have been linking points out he had awful linemates (his center was worse than Sobotka)

Low-risk proposition, I think

The other question is, will he prove he's worth keeping. Let's take things slow with him...

I wonder how much Buffalo offered him when we had his rights. That'd be funny if he gave NYR a discount, only to end up here

Good news. His first shift, his burst of speed showed he has a gear most players don't have

Maybe Risto just didn't want to play for Housley, and is willing to give it a shot with Krueger. We'll never know, and JBott has no obligation to fill us in on these things

Olofsson truly sick hands

Cozens goes off hurt

Maybe I'm thinking preseason

He looks worse than he did at this camp last year

Tim Connolly, winger version?

Beyond the Vesey rumor, have there been any other rumors of us looking for wingers? Could it signal Krueger may want to try Reinhart at 2C? (full disclosure, this is what I want to see, even if it doesn't work) I would love us to look for someone who could play wing or center, in case Reinhart doesn't work.

On the highlights posted on pg 2, I do see nice hands and an incredible shot, in addition to what people have already mentioned. Oh, and it's Bobby Fischer whose doppelgaenger he is:

Yeah, hopefully nothing to see here. Plus, I don't think Latvians trust Russians ?

3 GM's? I just counted 2... On another note, I didn't realize ROR got an offer sheet from Calgary after the lockout...

I could even see them separated, one on line 3, one on line 4. They are both good in the corners and seemed to be able to keep the puck in the offensive zone. If you add a skilled played on a line with one or both, their lines may actually see some chances, if the matchups are right.

Can someone explain the "no waivers" part to me?

Is it possible to get lettering & numbers done on older jerseys, like slugs and goatheads?
