When I lived in Buffalo I played in a AAA summer league against the likes of Dave Andreychuck, Alex Mogilny and a few other Sabres at the time. Kevyn Adams was on my team, at that time he was playing at Miami of Ohio... and Tony Tuzzolino were probably the names some might recognize here. Kevyn was a solid solid kid, hard worker, super nice to everyone on the team even at that young age.... I had just finished my college career and he struck as someone with the right make up mentally and work ethic that had a legit chance to make it to the show.
Later on in my 20's used to crush beers on occasion with Matt Barnaby on the chip strip.... some fun times.
Lived across the street from Donald Audette for a few years, tried talking him into seeding a twin roller hockey rink business idea my friend and I had. He didn't bite.

Hockey may be moved to the Summer games, ala basketball. That way all the pros can compete and it doesn't interfere with the NHL. The only problem with that is the venues would need to be shared with basketball and it just wouldn't work out logistically with such a short time span to fit all the games in.
Either that or bring back the Canada Cup series in Sept. Those were great.

Fire Nolan. I think it's coming, there's a reason he still has the interim tag.

Myers will be a stud defenseman. He's been playing well lately, you don't mess with that. He's not soft either, has a great reach and uses his stick effectively. Keep him on D.

I can't see the Ducks making a move to bring in another starter, they have a logjam in net and are most likely looking to move guys out, not bring them in. Although if they view Miller as being an upgrade over Hiller (and knowing they can probably re-sign Miller cheaper with a California/be closer to your wife Discount) they could make a deal, send someone like Fasth back in the deal (or Gibson), and then use Hiller in another trade to someone like Edmonton or Washington for other assetts and recoup some of what they might lose obtaining Miller.
I don't think making a move like that will rock the boat/disrupt chemistry too much in Anaheim, they probably wouldnt miss a beat swaping out Hiller for Miller
Hiller gets hot and cold, he's not consistent enough. He's either lights out, or everything goes in. I live in the area and the fans don't like him one bit.
Andersen has looked soft the last few games and he has no playoff experience. He only has 18 NHL games under his belt, not enough for them to rely on him for a long playoff run.
Put Miller on that team, and I'd consider them Cup favorites.

So, I know Tim Murray hasn't been with the team for very long, but we have two deadlines (one before the Olympics, one after) barreling down on us and so far...nothing in the way of trades, signings or anything, really. So, are the Sabres just going to stand pat and let their FAs walk or what? I know many GMs are saying that they are looking for trades but nothing out there so far is workable. Is this going to be another trade-deadline bummer?
no

If you think this season is bad, just wait until next when Vanek and Miller are gone. That team might not win a single game or even score a goal for weeks on end.
Everything is going to according to plan. Darcy won't get fired, he's doing exactly what he said they would do and he's doing a fine job at it (tanking for #1 overall picks). McDavid in 2015 is the light at the end of this long dark tunnel.

6 career hat tricks and he's only 27. You don't trade that. Wait, yes, yes you do, if his name is Drew Stafford.
-
I want to like him, but he's done nothing to convince me he's the answer at head coach.

Shake up in the office PAT LaFONTAINE RESIGNS

Not surprised. Too many chiefs, somebody had to go. Black, Patrick, LaFontaine, Murray. That's just overkill. I just hope they don't trade Myers. Nolan can go. There's a reason he's been out of the league for so long. He's a good motivator but that's about it... His teams always give up a ton of shots, there are better coaches available. All hail Tim Murray.
