@kevinoDandC New #Amerks (via #Sabres trade) Johan Larsson & Matt Hackett arriving in #ROC tonight. San Jose to Houston to pick up essentials, then here.

Time to lament and boo hoo.

@JSportsnet NHL will announce the 2014 Winter Classic to be played at the Big House on Jan 1/14, this Sunday in Detroit. DRW vs TML. #nosurprise

I know....Was just being an A__.

Quebec/Colorado is happy that they did.

They can really do that??? :rolleyes:

Thanks for the update, Would like to see Larsson get some time with the Sabres before the season is over.

They certainly do not lack for Goaltender prospects between Enroth, Leggio, Knapp, Hackett, Makarov, and Ullmark. Miller is more likely gone than Vanek IMO. I do not have the details as I don't believe that they were released publicly. But listen to the organizational statements and look at the moves Darcy is being allowed to make. Therein lies your answer.

If Darcy was going anywhere he'd have already been gone and you simply cannot ignore the contract extension he signed in the prior to this season.

THN on Johan Larson: http://forecaster.th...player.php?7877 Scouting Report Assets: Owns very good playmaking skills, as well as the potential to play a sound two-way game. Is also versatile enough to line up either at center or wing. Has a strong lower base and is adept at protecting the puck. Flaws: Needs to adapt to and perfect his skills for the North American game. Also needs to make better use of his shot, so as to keep opposing defenders more honest. Lacks consistency when it comes to his physical game. Career Potential: Versatile playmaker with upside. THN on Jeff Hackett: http://forecaster.th...player.php?7397 Scouting Report Assets: Is very fluid, fast and athletic for a goalie with a 6-2 frame. Shows excellent skating and footwork, with superb lateral movement. Gets into his butterfly easily and recovers well. Flaws: Goes down too quickly and easily, sometimes leaving himself hung out to dry on both dekes and high shots. Could stand to be a lot more active with his paddle, in general. Career Potential: Talented goaltender with upside.

Wishful thinking. The owner and management group are committed to Regier.

Could go either way IMO. Depends on how Darcy's conversations with them go in describing what the plan is moving forward and what that plan's time frame is. Hamilton's opining is just conjecture.

Wonder where Larsson and Hackett fit on this list?

From the Rochester D&C: To avoid the recall barrier, Regier said he asked the Wild to reassign Hackett and Larsson to Minnesota’s AHL team in Houston before the Pominville trade became official. That way, both can be transferred to the Amerks without any recall implications.

Pens getting a beat down from the Rangers early.....3-0. Maybe it was them and not us. :unsure:

Shocked that the Caps gave up Forsberg in the Erat deal. It's not like they're close to being a Cup winner.

McCabe would have to sign his ELC and forfeit remaining NCAA eligibility to play for the Amerks.

@kevinoDandC 3m And #Sabres GM Darcy Regier said he will continue to search for D-men for the #Amerks. "We're working on it now." They have until April 10.

@kevinoDandC #Sabres make Brian Flynn, Adam Pardy, Mark Pysyk and Luke Adam all eligible to play for the #Amerks in the playoffs.

@wyshynski 4m If this is Ryan Miller to the Caps, I can't even conceive what the package going back would be. What do you want Sabres fans?

‏@CraigCustance 1m If Drew Stafford has been traded, he hasn't been told yet.

@BillHoppeNHL 1m Darcy Regier will be coming down to talk soon.

Trades get announced well past 3 PM....There's still hope.

@SNHockeyCentral Ryan O'Byrne to Leafs for a fourth-round pick. #TradeTracker confirmed pending trade call. @TheFourthPeriod 21s Ducks have acquired Matthew Lombardi from Phoenix

@TSNBobMcKenzie 39s Roberto Luongo has not been traded. He remains a Canuck. #tradecentre
