sven233 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I like the move, although I expect this to be just a rental. Darcy doesn't take 2nd round picks lightly, so I see this as another indication that they are very intent on making the playoffs this year. Yeah, he is a rental, for now..... Good production, though could get him a new deal at ome point. I would take him a 2 or 2.5 more than many of the Sabres that are currently playing for us!!!! HA! So yeah, rental for now, but Darcy views picks as very important, so I think he could be extended at some point. Guess we'll see what happens.

sven233 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Think he can get here for tonight's game? Would be interesting... No reason it wouldn't be possible. Just in Toronto, so I think it will be possible. I'm sure Darcy will tell us at some point soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsrcursed Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 No i dont watch the games or make logical posts in an effort to irritate you. Just seems like a high price for a rental that doesnt put the team over the top. It might get them into the playoffs but thats it. Mission accomplished <_< When have you seen a 2nd round pick traded away that's taken a team over the top?? I think our goal IS the playoffs, so if that's it, then again, mission accomplished. 1 glaring need was a Center. He's decent at faceoffs which was pointed out earlier, and is a durable player who can produce. How can you NOT like this move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesportsbuff Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 just something to consider... not that you guys are too high on max or connolly, BUT.. now tonight we have Connolly with a fresh new extension, Vanek coming back, Afinogenov probably will be in the lineup after a long time out, and possibly Dominic Moore helping out at center. And probably not tonight, but next game Telqvist in goal. Seems like a whole lot that could potentially spark the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheReaper Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 While i dont know much about Dominic Moore,i am very satisfied that the Sabs acctually went out and got someone. A little depth at center is very good news. This makes the lines very interesting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Am I the only who's got this weird feeling Lindy's gonna play him with Hecht and Pommer? With Hecht at center....? ;) Just kidding, getting some faceoff talent in here can never be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Solid move. I like Moore a lot. A very good penalty killer. Solid speed and very good vision. He plays well in his own zone. I expect he will play on the 3rd line with Kotalik and a MacArthur or Paille or even Max. But also, i wouldnt be shocked if Lindy tries him with Vanek to spice things up.

Won't be with Vanek....at least at first. Have to put the band back together (Vanek, Connolly, Stafford) at first. That line was perhaps the best in the league before Vanek got hurt. They'll try that first, at least.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll fall right back on my stance from last year that I want Connolly with Vanek. Go out and earn that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No frigging way. I'm concerned that Timmy goes in the tank after the extension. Either he tries too hard to justify it and tries to do too much, or he gets lazy and sloppy as other players have done in the history of pro sports after getting a nice chunk of change in their contract.

UncleWally Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I don't follow hockey in depth like most on this board, but guy for a second rd pick?? He's not a play-maker, On the other hand, Bernier a developing nice sized winger was had for a second and he was second line worthy, I think. I can't believe they would use a second so stupidly just to get Galassano playoff money and if that is true, it will be short money. Signed, Mr. Pissy Hecht is garbage. Kotalik, not so much :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millbank Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 In Moore the Sabres have firstly a good man who will fit into the room very well. He a bright and well spoken man. In terms of his play, its said he has excelled this season because of him being on a lower tier team where he has received a great deal of ice time where he would not have in other places. In Leaf scheme of things he was a second line center who as they look ahead see him more as a third line center. Hence they balked at signing him for more than 1.8 per season. He wanted so talking Canadian heads say 3 million per season, had lowed it to around 2.7. In the end he and Leaf just could not make a deal , they were not close. As a Sabre he will be a good addition, who works hard, can score, play well in defensive role, and is grittier than many Sabres currently have. He could be a excellent addition, the issue will be in terms of next year if they can sign him, at this point it would be hard to be optimistic. He is a solid player every team needs. But he does not have a wow factor. - (mind you I am interested as to who they will play him with, he certainly has grabbed hold of his opportunities this season, put in a position to do the same in Buffalo good very well yield some great results.) I'd like to hear Milbank's thoughts on Moore, as well as those of anyone who watches the Leafs consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted to win in the playoffs they did not help the team. They've already shown they can beat Boston with Miller. So you're saying this move was good enough for us to get in the playoffs, but ADDING a center, a productive center, won't then give them a chance?? I just fail to see how you're so sure this isn't a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
