LabattBlue Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 If the Sabres do not keep him on the roster, he will be sent back to the league he was in last year. Due to a rule dealing w/ age, Ennis will not be able to go to Portland. The rule simply does not make sense. Players in Ennis's age group can play in the NHL, but they cannot in the AHL? Someone please expalin that. I think you are mixing up Myers with Ennis. Ennis can play in the AHL this year, Myers cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Now that Peters is gone- and his apparent value based on his affable attitude to showing around the new guys- I would say 'Other' being Patrick LaLime.

LabattBlue Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 That reminds me, I spoke with Ray and he said the team is #%^$#!ed. He's sick of the company line and while he wouldn't name names he said last year "some" players told him while he was between the benches "Why are u getting so upset it's just a game". WTF? I'm not sure why Ray would make up crap like this, but I find it hard to believe that a player would say something like this in front of his teammates and coaches.

darksabre Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Okay, lemme see what I got,... he makes too much moneyhe gets hurt to oftenhe has too much talentor at least he has the appearance of having too much talent not to help the team more than he doeshe always has that sour pussand he just seems like a dark swirling vortex of negative energy.[inhale] How's that?

wjag Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I'm going with Pominville. Not because I dislike his play but because I sense he has trade value. His low key style, no contact style, pervades the team. I hate him on the point on the PK. I think that doesn't get his talent involved enough.

No logical case can be made for Miller to go. Same goes for Vanek and Rivet. Really, the only logical choices are Hecht, Pommer or Tallinder, with Roy and TC well behind.

... Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I would take JJ Pommers off the list if his play in camp and preseason carries on into the regular season. He's looking a lot more confident from what I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Sabretooth.

Really, the only logical choices are Hecht, Pommer or Tallinder, with Roy and TC well behind. I wouldn't consider Rivet, a 35 year old blue-liner, a part of "the core." You don't build around a 35 year old. Vanek - A logical case can be made that despite Vanek's offensive talent the mere size of his contract and his at times questionable defensive play makes him a candidate to be moved at some point. Vanek is the toughest sell in this conversation. I personally think trading Vanek would set the franchise back 10 years. That is not to disregard the opinions of those who fell otherwise and there are plenty out there. Miller - It is clear that if this team makes the playoffs Miller will have to pretty much carry them into the playoffs single handily. There is no one player more important to this teams success than Miller. If he is unable to carry this team into the playoffs there will be Miller detractors ready to pounce and declare that Miller is not a elite goalie and not the goalie the Sabres need to reach success. There are those that feel Miller is a compliment goalie not a elite goalie. Meaning he will do well if you have enough talent in front of him. He will not well if needed to cover the flaws a team may have. Do I agree with all these arguments? No. I feel I must state that to prevent the flood of posters who will have their panties firmly bunched upon reading this. I am just keeping to the point that a case can be made for the entire "core." Let's face it. If the Sabres didn't have these questions they would be a playoff team instead of the perennial 10th place team they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about sending him over the Falls in a barrel, though the sniveling and squealing would be fun. I'm talking trade, at some point. What could Darcy get for him? I've always maintained Miller is overrated. Maybe some GM would overpay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always maintained Miller is overrated. Maybe some GM would overpay. Fair enough. My point was that if the thread is asking who should be dumped in a fire sale (ie where presumably another GM wouldn't overpay), Miller isn't a realistic candidate. Hecht, Pommer and Tallinder are all way overpaid based on last year's production. The money could be better spent elsewhere. There are also other forwards and defensemen in the system that I think most of us would rather see in the lineup than Hecht and Tallinder. Note that if Pommer rebounds to 30-50-80 production, he's off the blacklist and his contract looks OK (not a screaming deal, but not too bad).

I appreciate his heart but there's no place for someone of his stature in the NHL. He'd have to be superhuman to keep from being pushed around his entire NHL career.
