Satfford 2010-11 is the 2009-10 MacArthur. A useless forward about to find himself a UFA long before he is eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesportsbuff Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Eklund says Sabres in on Kariya -- so of course it probably won't happen but what are your thoughts on Kariya? Haven't seen him discussed too much around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesportsbuff Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 very gifted hands, great positioning, especially on the rush. He has lost a few steps though. Yeah, his age is most bothersome to me. But age isn't everything. I haven't gotten to see too much of him since the "Mighty" Ducks days -- can he still hang with NHLers? Apparently so, at least according to his stats. Can he be a leader? Could he be a candidate for the "C" ?

But Buffalo is not in a position to make a run this season IMO. To many questions on the top 6 and defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useless bit of trivia: That would be a lot of Hobey Baker Award Winners who played for the franchise: Tom Kurvers (82), Robb Stauber (88), Brian Holzinger (95), Chris Drury (98), Ryan Miller (01), Jordan Leopold (02) Paul Kariya (93) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched plenty of St. Louis and he would get up ice with speed on a Buffalo team. 25 goals could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add kariya and it's the over the hill gang. KR, you're a very good poster, but Grier is not over the hill. He was very good for the Sabres all year last year, and was their best forward in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korab rules Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 KR, you're a very good poster, but Grier is not over the hill. He was very good for the Sabres all year last year, and was their best forward in the playoffs. Ok, my comment was tongue in cheek, to a point. And losing several steps was an exageration. Grier was great for this team on many levels last year, but he had clearly lost a step since his first stop. Grizzled vets have a place on every team, especially playoff contending teams. They tend to be defensively responsible, blood and guts players who know how hard it is to win In the playoffs, that they don't have many opportunities left, and so are willing to do anything to win. Grier was great, and I am glad he was re-signed. I am OK with nieds, but I worry about how much he has left. Adding one more nearing 40 player to that third line may be overkill, which was more my point. I would rather see a youmg buck like gerbe or Kennedy learn at their knee. Hopefully the play of these grizzled vets rubs off on the young guys on the team, which would be a drastic improvement over the way Roy is currently rubbing off on them.

apuszczalowski Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Paul Kariya? Sure I would take him on the Sabres..................IF.........................they also had a time machine to go back about 5-10 years ago and get him in his prime. I guess Darcy is skipping the Bargain Bins and found the clearance/"about to expire" aisle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
