Iron Crotch Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Weird... I just heard him interviewed on NHL radio in my car this evening after the Blues lost to the Flames. The Blues must have decided the loss made them sellers? At the time he clearly didn't know he was being dealt. Good pick up. He scored 40 one year for the Blues and 30 another year. He'll be happy to be closer to home (is from Mississauga) and will certainly be happy to be out of the ugly, lifeless trapping system that the Blues play these days.

Taro T Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Is he a RW or a C? I've seen him listed as both. Everything I've seen has him listed as a RW. (He's only taken 55 faceoffs this year.) He's signed for $4MM next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesportsbuff Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Is he a RW or a C? I've seen him listed as both. Can anybody answer this? Yahoo has him listed as RW but I too thought he was a center earlier in his career? edit: nvm thanks Taro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabills Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 He might play more center here, though. Clearly more a need than wingers for us. For a second this is a solid pickup, I like it. I bet there's one more done before tomorrow, probably a d-man if its not something big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregkash Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 12 Goals this year for Boyes.. 29 assists or something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Phillips Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Maybe Pominville on the move for a center? Darcy figures he gets his new Pominville for $1.3 million a year less. Don't get my hopes up....... Love to dump Pommers contract. Just don't see it. Darcy may have made a trade (and I think it may be a pretty good one), but notice he has not given up any of the "core" yet. He added a player without trading any of his own players. He is probably done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robviously Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 It's a fine trade but I'm eager to send some of our current players packing too. Get on it, Pegula. Lots of dead weight in navy blue and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsrcursed Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 ESPN said center and so did wikipedia. Saw that as well. Wouldn't surprise me to see him play Center for us. I'm still looking for more stats/info. on when he played Center, how many games, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm confused now. I thought that Darcy would only make a nothing move within an hour of the deadline for something that would have no possibility of helping the Sabres. Could there be something different about his situation perhaps? Naaaahhhh, he still sucks. :doh: Not saying that he's going to be Ken Holland, but I'd seen enough in the past to believe that his hands WERE tied. Hopefully we see another deal or 2 tomorrow to help some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I've seen some Blues games, my sister-in-law lives in Missouri? and she is a Blues hater. She was sayin that Boyes is good, but shoots wide an awful lot. Pomminstein's replacement?

Sounds about right........there are nights when Pommer can't hit the broadside of a barn! I just can't believe that guys is sucking down 5.3 mill of our cap space......would be nice at 3.5-4......not 5.3.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pominville 2.0 It's not a huge price to pay for a 28yo who has scored 40 before, but it isn't a long term culture change, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 only 2 goals and 8 assists in the month of February.. I like the move, but it doesn't look spectacular other than the fact he's scored 40 before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
