Rico7 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 It's Begin all over again. Nice job DR. :death: :P You really think losing him is a big deal? OK player, but he was just a stop-gap for the first few weeks. No big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabresfaninbaltimoremd Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 It's Begin all over again. Nice job DR. :death: :P Why are we piling on Darcy for losing Matt Ellis?? We had too many players. The collective bargaining agreement is what it is. We follow said collective bargaining agreement. We lose Matt Ellis back to the Kings. I think Ellis did a yeoman's job for the role he was asked to fill, but let's not act like Darcy handed over Gretzky for nothing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Surprise, surprise, surprise... A blind man could see that coming... I don't think so. Los Angeles made a tough choice last week when they played Oscar Moller for the 9th time, thus making him have to stay with the Kings for the entire season. While Ellis was good, he was only a band-aid fill-in. He was no better then Mike Ryan though. When the time comes, that Ellis was to be needed again, it probably wasn't going to be anytime soon, and when that time does come, we'll have a number of players who can fill that band-aid role with half a AHL season already under way. Gerbe maybe. Kennedy? Gragnani? Mancari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sloth Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'm looking forward to the day, hopefully not too soon, though, Gerbe makes his 1st appearance as a Sabre. The guy has so much potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat48 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 The Sabres just announced that Matt Ellis has cleared waivers and was assigned to Portland..... That is vastly different then what I was told by Kevin Dineen last night. "He was picked back up by L.A," said Dineen. They (L.A.) wasted little time in grabbing him. We knew he wouldn't make it to Portland." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little AHL seasoning will improve his play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little AHL seasoning will improve his play... So has he been claimed by LA or not? According to the Sabres website, he cleared. I just wanted to clarify as I can't seem to find any other site that corroborates either option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat48 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 He's cleared....The story was incorrect based on the new information released today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Good to see another veteran guy to help w/younger players. I bet Donner wishes he had Ellis! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresFan526 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Wow, a little surprised he did not get claimed. I figure there are a lot of teams out there with injuries that could use a veteran guy with some experience. Good for Buffalo that he cleared, and better for Portland. I don't think he's that bad, but his skating seems slow and awkward. But, he looks to be a hard worker and decent in the defensive zone which is good for a forward. Hopefully he'll help the Pirates who are on a tear right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donner is still excited by his Panther players :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
