Marvelo Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 "I guess I'm a blue-collar player," Kaleta said. "I love Buffalo. I loved the Sabres growing up my whole life. I want to put my body on the line and do everything I can to help win the Cup." Kinda brings a tear to the eye. Need I say more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Maybe after 7-8 years if his body holds up but right now he's a little too clowny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Kaleta and Kennedy can stand in front of their teammates and give first-hand testimony to how much a cup would mean to the city. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Buffalo native or not players like Kaleta are expendable parts.He's a third or fourth liner at best that will be shown the door as soon as he commands any more than what these type of players make.Thats the Sabres way.Even if he is all heart and soul.

bunomatic Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I certainly don't hate the sabres.I've been a fan of this team most of my life.I am being realistic.If Gretzky can be traded,Kaleta can.This management team should do anything it can to make this team better and if that means one day trading a Buffalo native or letting him go to free agency,they'll do it.That is the reality.I'm not advocating getting rid of Kaleta now,he's a very useful player and I love what he brings to this team.But to suggest that he will always be a sabre is unrealistic.

nobody Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Even Rob Ray was traded in the end. So being traded is not something we shouldn't expect in the future if it helps the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray asked to leave, though. He wanted to win a cup. What did we even get for him? But you're right, Peters was let go and was kind of a fan favorite (not on message boards, obviously, but alot of casual fans loved him). Any body is fair game if the return is enough.
