deluca67 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 The problem is that I get my hopes up when I see a new post in this thread. It seems like there are plenty of other places that the team's softness could be discussed... Without loading the list, I would say the Lindy on the hotseat or It all started with Lucic threads would be better. When the topic is about one of the persons who should be able to effect change the thread is bound to turn towards those things that need changing.

fan2456 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 When the topic is about one of the persons who should be able to effect change the thread is bound to turn towards those things that need changing. Exactly. This is Regier's and Ruff's creation, and they have been in control for 15 years. They are responsible for every single player in the entire organization(Buffalo, Rochester, Juinors, Colleges and Europe). They have no one to blame for the style of players that they have. Is there anyone left from before they came? Did past ownership tell them to bring in softer players because they are cheaper? There is no logic to that. This should be the culmination of their vision. I find impossible to get excited about what Darcy MIGHT do! I just would like to see him move on and be thanked for his service.

TheChimp Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 So Regier's looking to deal, you say? How fascinating. I wonder what color shoes he's wearing right now. Regier, I mean. Not LeBrun. But speaking of LeBrun, I used to know a guy named LeGault. Think he was from Halifax. And if I'm remembering correctly, he had a sister named Darcy. Coulda been Darcie. It was a long time ago, though, so don't hold me to it. Or was it Marcie?...God I hope not. That would belong in an entirely new thread. But anyway, this guy LeGault, he used to like cards. Which reminds me. I hear Regier is looking to deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be relatively cheap I assume, probably just a "throw in" piece in a slightly bigger deal. Assuming they have a good relationship, maybe it would give Ryan a sense of comfort in a way. I donno.

apuszczalowski Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Does Kirk want to come out of retirement? I would trade them Stafford to be their new scout for a retired Maltby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what they might need but if it's Roy, they can't be too impressed. GO SABRES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pegula really wants to make the Sabres family, they can trade for Drew, and make a deal with Ottawa for Foligno (Roys from ottawa, maybe he would like to play at home?). Then make a move with teh Canucks for the Sedin twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I would assume Detroit is scouting defensive players. Their offense works well but guys like Lidstrom are getting old. I'd imagine someone like Ehrhoff or even Myers is who they're looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesportsbuff Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 A quick glance at the Red Wings roster produced an above-average # of players that I would want on the Sabres, not necessarily high priced "big name" guys either. Abdelkader, Eaves, Miller, Hudler, Helm... and obviously Franzen and Filpulla but I doubt they are going anywhere. I don't want to speculate what the price would be for these guys but I wouldn't mind acquiring any one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see Detroit looking for Defense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they have that kind of cap room for those players (although I would assume that every team would be out to scout them and want to try to get them). I would think they may be interested more in Leopold, or Sekera type defencemen right now. Most of the rumors/speculation I have heard about the Wings is that they may want a backup for Howard to replace Conklin. Who knows, maybe they are looking to see if they could get Miller? Would be funny to see them make a deal that would include swapping the Miller brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see Detroit looking for Defense though. Jimmy Howard has had to win a number of multi-goal against games this year. His GAA and SV% don't match his win numbers. I imagine Detroit would like to make that adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I don't think Darcy will deal with Detroit after that Hasek 'trade'. Hasek controlled who was coming back in the deal. Just a crappy situation, and the only way to avoid it would have been to pay Dom money the team really didn't have at the time. I'm still a little pissed at Hasek and a lot pissed at Kozlov over that. Edit: And yeah, what Dark said, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
