SabresMojo Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Same was said about Phaneuf and he wasn't an RFA at the end of the year. Weber shouldn't be traded, but with all the talk of Statsny being moved I figured that why not throw Weber who Nashville is having a hard time getting under contract. He is just as likely at this point as Statsny. Seeing Statsny has come out and said he isn't going anywhere All speculations. Players rarely say they are moving unless they have a no trade clause... Until a move is made, its all speculation..but hey, its fun to dream sometimes until its reality, right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRick Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Personally I think Sabres should try to dump Hecht's ridiculus salary, dump Connolly which will happen and get rid of whatever other deadweight is hanging around maybe Sekera. Then dangle some of the youth maybe Ennis if need be see what kinda of players we can get back. If it's something worthwhile than take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 We don't really need wingers anyway. We need centers. No sense in getting more of a position we have depth in if we are going to ignore center ice. I'm not thinking about need as much as I am thinking about taking a cheap look at the kid. If the kid was more expensive I wouldn't even bring it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you its not a need, it's if there is an upgrade and for too long we went without taking am upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 dead link It was alive when I looked at it a couple minutes bfore you did. It said that John-Michael Liles and Paul Stasny were not on the ice for practice and that rumor mongers are going to run wild (or something along those lines).

Yea, that's what it said, my son was on his computer (he has these tweeter's all looked up), he pointed me to it and said you should share that with these guys. So I did.

nfreeman Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Marc Staal not on ice at Rangers' practice. per Larry Brooks. It's not because he's on the trading block -- there is NFW the Rangers are going to trade him. It's because his brother Eric laid him out with a huge hit to the head on Monday night and likely concussed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 For $600k I would treat him like a scratch-off ticket. If he pays off fine. If not? Nothing is lost. There is something to lose. Can we afford to have a player with a famously lax work ethic on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Ok heres what I am thinking now. Rivet is on re-entry waivers and should get claimed by San Jose. They will be responsible for 1.75mil and that goes to their cap (I think right?) Then We are going to trade them stafford and a 3or2rnd pick for Pavelski. Then We are gonna tade Connolly to Phoenix for a 2nd and conditional 3rd rnd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 But we dont need cap relief but SJ could use some. They are at the cap now. IF they claim rivet they are moving someone to do it. What if we said hey we will waive him and rentry him. You can claim him then we will trade you for Pavelski. Stafford and a pick for pavelski is a decent deal and it clears cap room for a center heavy team who has a calder trophy candidate with only a year left on his contract... Possible.

Before anyone gets too excited... http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_17473108 Colorado coach Joe Sacco wasn't made available to the media today, but the team said that Stastny, Hejduk, Jones, Johnson and Liles all didn't practice because of "maintenance" days, which isn't unusual, especially when a team is practicing again the next day. However, with Monday's trade deadline approaching, any absences can trigger speculation. But the team, in this case, said not to read too much into the off days for those players.

How about Ryane Clowe? The kid has size, can score, hits and is at a decent price of $3.6 for the next two years. I know center is the primary need. Clowe covers a lot areas of need for the Sabres.

RW help is what they need Clowe I would welcome but I would rather have and I think it would be easier to get Pavelski because Couture is right there or better.

SJ is poised to make a run at the Cup, yet people here are cherry picking the best players off their roster.

At the deadline the light bulb is going to come on as they realize they can't win a Cup this year(much like past years) and just start trading away their best assets? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
