bob_sauve28 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I have to say I agree! :D I just can't bring myself to seeing this team without either one! I don't care how its done, just find a way to sign them both. Please! I know, I know, I've totally flip-flopped on this, and I don't care :bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how its done, just find a way to sign them both. Please! I'd like to see this too. My plan would be to dump Spacek for drafts, & get rid of Kotalik somehow. Oh yeah, add Kalinin too. Two things that I know for sure..... Briere is to Pominville As Max is to Vanek You cant have everything! What do you think the chances of that are?

I don't think Vanek needs Max at all. I'm almost ready to dump Connelly. Also Spackek stays, but I might consider Kotalik, just to save the money. Kalinin stays too, good defenseman IMO. I could part with Max if it meant keeping Briere or Drury or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I love how the conventional wisdom is that we can't keep both of them. Heck, ole Bucky even wrote that we might not be able to afford ONE of them. Conventional wisdom was totally wrong last offseason and is bound to be wrong again. Maybe we should just wait and see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I'll make my decision about whether max should go based on his performance in the playoffs this year. Last year he could have been a lot better, but he pulled a vanek and couldn't find the back of the net. Hopefully this year he'll be a goal scoring machine.

Maybe we should just wait and see what happens... I'm wondering about everyone saying they will get offered $7 million contracts somewhere. Ya, maybe someone will do that, and if they do, well, goodbye, but that doesn't have to happen. There will be other good free agents out there to compete against which will soak up a lot of money. So ya, let's wait and see. Still, Danny not being on the team is a horrible thought :bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Wow! Joe Sakic! Some players are just too much linked to one team. There's no way the Avs let Sakic go. I mean that would be like Ryan Smyth leaving Emon.... ummm.... :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRobertEichel Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 1. Trade/release Connolly and Spacek. 2. Don't re-sign Numminen and Zubrus. 3. Sign Briere (UFA), Drury (UFA), Vanek (RFA), and Roy (RFA). What's the problem? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Briere (UFA), Drury (UFA), Vanek (RFA), and Roy (RFA). What's the problem? :D Why Connolly? The guy has a few bad breaks and you want to cut him? The guy is a freak with the puck and was obviously the main reason our PP was SO good last year! I would hold off judgement until at least after he has come back and played in the playoffs! AND TRUST ME... HE WILL PLAY IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 AND TRUST ME... HE WILL PLAY IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!! i will believe it when i see i am tired of this whole he will play crap. nothing against TC but this is like a soap opera anymore.

ThePebble19 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Fact of the matter is...Drew Stafford's play is going to make Drury or Briere expendable next season. I am seeing the real deal in this kid every time he touches the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frisky Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 In terms of Timmy and keeping or moving him, I think is something that doesn't have as much to do with his talent as fragility. He has great skills but I think the team will have to decide whether he can stay healthy enough to keep playing, whether he is injury-prone, or if he is just one more hit away from Brett Lindros/Patty LaLa situation.

HE WILL PLAY IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!! Just curious, but what exactly makes your judgment any better than mine? Are you associated with the Sabres organization and have inside knowledge on Connolly's health? I like Connolly a lot, too, but I'm just extrapolating from what we've seen and heard the past few years regarding his health...the guy has serious health issues that will likely never allow him to reach his full NHL potential.

JohnRobertEichel Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Ummm...who are your 6th & 7th defensemen with this plan? Our 6th and 7th can come from Rochester (continue the team's yough movement) and/or free agency (find cheaper, more bang-for-the-buck d-men). Fact of the matter is that Numminen's play has begun to really look his age, and there's a good chance he'll retire anyway. As for Spacek, tell me what exactly has this guy brought to the team this year that we absolutely can't do without next year? If getting rid of his salary becomes key in keeping both of our proven leaders (Briere and Drury), I'd hope Regier decides to go with our proven leaders. But that's just me.

I like the plan for giggles, you will have to give up your screen name after these trades because Connolley will need your helmet Kelso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
