bunomatic Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Wait a minute!.. it just hit me. You can change your head coach?! No..Way! In the middle of the season, no less?! No..Way! Really?! There just must not be any good replacements out there or we would have done this a long time ago. Swamp, I don't think a change of coaches will help this sabres team but I'm with you. Clean house at the management level and roll the dice. It can't get much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Just saw this on breakingnews.com New Jersey Devils fire coach John MacLean and replace him with Jacques Lemaire He's like a Boring Billy Martin to that franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Is there any word on Blake getting suspended for his hit on Kaleta? I would think that if the roles were reversed there wouldn't be any question. Merry Christmas Colin Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spndnchz Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Looks like Spezza is out for at least six weeks with shoulder injury. They have to wait for the swelling to go down before they say he's out for good needing surgery.

Lanny Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Brian Rolston's been waived by the Devils 5.06 cap hit. Per Twitter: TSNBobMcKenzie NJD assigns Brian Rolston to Albany. Plan is for re-entry waivers later this week. Obviously hoping he will be claimed to free up cap space. DarrenDreger Will be interesting to see if Rolston is claimed at half price. A couple of teams said they would consider it when he was orig waived. I hope he's not claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpandean Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I hope Darcy doesn't get any half-priced ideas with all of our injuries. Come on now, you know you want to see the line of Rolston-Niedermayer-Grier. We could put them out with Rivet and, after last night's showing, move Hecht to the blue line. With Lalime in net, they'd be unstoppable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpandean Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Geez, Darcy must really have his hands tied with the impending sale, as the Thrashers have been offering up Niclas Bergfors for trade. Young, talented and ... wait for it ... cheap, undersized, and lacking grit (as described by several reporters.) In all seriousness, though, I'm surprised that the Thrashers have scratched and are looking to trade a second-year kid who has 15G and 20A in 55GP with the team (for those looking to avoid math, that normalizes to 22G and 30A in an 82 game season) and was considered a big chip in the Kovalchuk trade.

He's not a Dudley type of player and Dudley doesn't suffer players he doesn't like for very long, regardless of their ability. Dudley isn't afraid to bring in someone new if his gut tells him his guy isn't going to be what he hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudley isn't afraid to bring in someone new if his gut tells him his guy isn't going to be what he hoped. Nothing necessarily wrong with that. Basically the opposite of Darcy. For reference, Tyler Ennis has these stats for the Sabres: 53GP, 13G, 18A Note: 6GP were in the playoffs and Ennis is a bit younger, but also smaller.

It is probably the norm in nearly all scenarios where the GM truly has the control to shape his roster as he sees fit. I suspect Darcy is the same way really. He was a VERY active GM in his first few years. The problem is, now we have a roster full of "Darcy guys". :death: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
