LabattBlue Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 What is this nonsense about calling Kennedy a "smallish forward"? If I recall correctly, he was THE ONLY Sabre to play a consistent feisty, physical game throughout the season. The kid got his nose dirty, went into the corners, paid the price in front of the net. He did EVERYTHING to prove his worth to this organization. You simply CANNOT DEFEND this action by the Sabres. There's no sensible way. The Sabres wanted to sign him at 700K. He was awarded 300K more. That's worth dumping him? Really? 300K? The price they're going to have to fork over to buy him out? No. Now the Sabres blew 300K. For that price, they could have had a promising young forward, or have nothing. They choose the freaking latter. :wallbash: Agree 100%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billfold100 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Now this I can't believe is true. that would be stupid for the agent to do for a few reasons. One, they could walk away. Two, they'd never get it. Three, they'd piss of OSP and get waived. Which is exactly what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 so what can Darcy say in the presser that will appease fans? Just trying to gauge what people are hoping for here. Bobby Ryan? Savard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Ok, so he cleared waivers, no what happens to him? It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the organization did a 180(due to the lack of popularity with this move), and decided not to buyout Kennedy as has been rumored. Nothing surprises me when it comes to the 3 stooges(OSP, LQ & DR). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing surprises me when it comes to the 3 stooges(OSP, LQ & DR). That would be even worse. They need to make moves because they think they are the right ones, not because of what the fans think. That's the one thing I did like about this whole thing, that being a local kid did not get in the way of them making their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one thing I did like about this whole thing, that being a local kid did not get in the way of them making their decision. They also need to makes moves based on hockey talent and NOT based on being petty and vindictive because they were taken to arbitration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbochan Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 This is the only bargaining chip he had.. and he used it. Sure the kid is from Buffalo and I feel sorry for him, but this is business. His agent wanted to play hard ball and Tim came out the loser. Would anyone care if this was Gerbe? I swear more people are upset because he's from Buffalo and aren't thinking about the on-ice product. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static70 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Question: Now that he is Sabres property after the waiver period, if he were traded, does the team he is traded to negotiate a contract with him or does it stand at 1 million?

wnyguy Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 The fact Kennedy is a local kid has no bearing on my being upset should they wave him. He was one of the few forwards who went into the corners and battled for the puck. He didn't shy away like so many of our "top 6 forwards".

wonderbread Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 fish tacos well played. If he cleared it appears that there was little interest in him. This make a little more sense as to why he was waived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 They also need to makes moves based on hockey talent and NOT based on being petty and vindictive because they were taken to arbitration. How do you explain him clearing waivers then? Doesn't this say they accurately assessed his value and were not "vindictive"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
