wjag Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 If Dan Boyle ends up a Sabre I'll drive my fat a$$ down to the arena for the press conference and dive at his knees. :censored: :D :D :D :D Thanks, made me laugh to start my day.

X. Benedict Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Is Bouwmeester a physical defensemen? I thought the point was to make the Sabres defense tougher and more physical. Bouwmeester doesn't represent either of the characteristics. He has 1 major in 389 games. He's not that physical. But neither is Lindstrom. If they can land Boumeester that would be a huge coup.

Five teams that I am hearing are involved... Ottawa Philadelphia San Jose Buffalo Montreal http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=16067 The Boyle-to-Buffalo makes no sense on so many levels that I might seriously lose my mind if we trade anything of value to get him. The only way I would even remotely accept a deal like that would be if the Sabres were able to unload all their crap on Tampa, especially Max and TC.

Bmwolf21 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Considering we wouldn't sign Orpik for under 4 I highly doubt they will sign Boyle for over 6. Boyle's already signed, which is why the deal really doesn't make sense. We wouldn't pay Soupy (our own Boyle) $6M, and now we're going to trade assets to Tampa to get someone else's offensive defenseman? I'm partially frustrated because the rumor is an Ek rumor and doesn't make any sense, and I'm ticked at the possibility that this could even be considered.

SabreInFla Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Idiot over on HB says that the Leafs and the Habs are the teams involved with Jason Smith. Since Buffalo isn't mentioned, that probably means we will sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I would even remotely accept a deal like that would be if the Sabres were able to unload all their crap on Tampa, especially Max and TC.e First, I doubt there is anything to do the Boyle deal, but I disagree that it doesn't make sense. 1) It is the same amount they offered Campbell albiet for two more years 2) He is a right handed shot for the power play 3) It allows them to bring Sekera along as a fourth or fifth defensemen insuring that he will not post Mike Green numbers and thus allowing them to sign him to one more contract at a reasonable rate. Also, with all their forwards, there is no way Tampa wants Connolly or Max which is the biggest reason I can't see this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably just trying to free up cap for picks or prospects. And Jason Smith is a right handed shot too for probably 2 million less (if not more).

I haven't seen anything that shows more than $5M per for Soupy. Even if they did, why was it a bad idea to offer the 29-year-old Soupy two additional years but now they are OK with those extra years for a guy who is three years older and coming off an injury-plagued season? 2.) I will grant that he is an upgrade on the PP. 3.) Sounds like a bit of a conspiracy theory there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodfella25 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 This is absolutely ridiculous tidbit... A video on TSN.ca's main page confirms Hossa was signed for $7.4 because GM Ken Holland promised Nicklas Lidstrom that he'd be the highest paid player on the team (at $7.5 mil). Are you kidding me? Is this a lie, or is Lidstrom really that small at this point in his career? Would he sit in a corner pouting if Hossa made more than him? I understand catering to your veterans, especially a future Hall of Famer, but come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
