LGR4GM Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 A classic internet response... complete with grammatical butchering and misspellings. All to insult somebody for something that there is no proof that he did. Maybe you could give us your real name, then we can post rumors about you and call you "and idiot" [sic] for it? Really? A fan saying that if Darcy traded our only point scoring center, which I KNOW is an IF, makes him an Idiot and you want to discuss grammar on a message board? You want to know my real name? It shouldnt be to hard to figure out. KTN are my initials and I work at UB and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 you act like having Jokinen and Stajan is bad thing......... o wait it is. Derek Roy, aint going nowhere... to quote our fearless leader. Its like saying the sabres are trading Vanek and a pick and a prospect for Regehr... NO WAY NO HOW. I am still thinking like ur 3rd rounder and a defender (like sekera) I could see Roy being included if it was something bigger, as was speculated earlier in the thread. So if they sent Roy out and got Spezza & Stajan in return or something along those lines. But as many have said it makes no sense to trade a center away for a Dman, when the Sabres main need is center. I know Stajan had a poor year, but was a 55 point guy the previous two seasons and is only 27 years old. Anyone know anything about him? Is he really that bad? How does he compare with the UFA center class? Seems like if he were on the open market he may be the 2nd best available behind Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Latest I have heard is that the hold up is all on Regher right now and that a 3rd round pick was thrown out there (possibly a 2nd). If that is the case, this is TOTAL salary dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it reads like Forrest Gump calling out someone for a lack of intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS, Not to defend the poster you originally corrected, but I believe he was actually trying to sarcastically state that Darcy ISN'T an idiot as he wouldn't go for that trade. I used the word 'believe' specifically because the post was rather incoherent which seems to be his recent modus operandi. (As opposed to his earlier 30 posts/day phase, during which the bulk were coherent but silly.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james duncan Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 This thread and the whole speculation on the trade reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where a ufo flies over smalltown america.

Yea, it was sorta my point that darcy may seem timid to pull the trigger but I have never seen him do something completely idiotic. Trading roy for regehr would be. We just spent a page yelling at me for grammar because I said if Darcy Made that trade he would be an Idiot.... worthless. I paired down my comments and tried to temper my enthusiasm but when I hear someone rumor mongoring Roy getting traded for a defender I lose my cool. O and yes my name is kitten, no last or middle name, just kitten. If However, Roy nets us Regehr and then there is a multi-team deal going on and we get a center (i dont hate spezza) that would be interesting. Stajan even as a UFA is garbage and I would rather have laichs, or B. richards, or weiss, or about 10 other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
