dEnnis the Menace Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 There is an AHL and an ECHL and an SEL and a KHL and I could go on, Mr. Smartypants. exactly! If you cut pro-scouts, you lose visibility on the "pros" in all of the other leagues that are NOT the NHL. There are a lot of good players in those leagues!

apuszczalowski Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Does it feel good to trash talk the man on such a level when in reality you know nothing about him personally? Pure foolishness. I bet personally he might be a great guy, someone you wouldn't mind going for a beer with, or helping build a deck in your backyard. As GM of an NHL hockey team, he has over a decade of work that he can be judged on and people can make decisions based on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Pro Scouts cover those leagues too, or is that something that the Amateur scouts cover? I don't know if its the same in the US as Canada, but here, with my cable and getting the Sports package with Centre ice, I can get the games from some of those leagues too.

IKnowPhysics Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Pro Scouts? If you have the Center Ice Package you have all the pro scouts you need. NHLCI didn't tell any of us that Raffi Torres was a fatass. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmjoyce113 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's nice to see Darcy make a move to acquire the rights of someone. Let's see if he can close the deal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevecana Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 :lol: I think Regier is dragging Connolly along in case a deal can be made for a top-notch center. Say for instance, we are able to land Richards, wouldn't it be the best move financially to make to let Connolly walk and bring up the reigning AHL POY in Adams?

SabresCup2k12 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 All this talk about Brad Richards is making me crazy!!!!!!! Richards is 30 years old, coming off lowering production and a concussion. He wants 8 years and $50-55 million dollars. Why spend 50-55 million on a 30 year old center, when you can give up 4 1st round picks, and spend the same money on a 22 year old who by the way 2 years ago tied for the most goals in the NHL. If the Sabres go after any big time center, my money's on Stamkos. I could very easily see Tyler Myers and Steve Stamkos becoming the major building blocks of the new sabres regime. Also expect Ehroff announcement regarding that he has signed with buffalo tonight or first thing in am. Reports out of NY indicate that Ehroff requested rights traded to buffalo and didn't want to play for Islanders. Also don't be suprises in Ehroff takes a little less then Bieska did in Vancover to play in Buffalo. Ehroff is apparently very big on playing in one of the top hockey markets in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, to pry Stamoks from TB, your looking at at least $12m/yr , at least, whereas Richards can be had for about 3/4 of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresCup2k12 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Normally u would be looking at 12 million a year for stamkos. However, Tampa Bay has some cap issues, and you could get Stamkos away from Tampa for about 9.5 million a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastPommerFan Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Saved the franchise. I will never forget. Look at what the NHL has done to keep a team in Phoenix. No way the Sabres were ever on the verge of leaving. If not Tommy G, then someone else. But you're right, it makes a nice story, and we don't have to hate him. He didn't buy the team solely for his own personal political and financial benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Allen had money on the table to take the Sabres to Seattle. If no local owner stepped up, we'd be an AHL city now. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
