wonderbread Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Plus I like his beard. His beard is the stuff legends are made of. Almost as world renowned as Ehrhoff's infamous highjinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Don't know where he would have fit into the grand scheme of things as I am overall fine w/ the Sabres D, and he didn't move today, but I would not mind seeing Jack Johnson in a Sabres sweater. Jack Johnson has just an amazing skill set. I think Columbus won there. He is such a great skater, the switch can still flip for him and he has the potential to be a dominant presence.

I keep hearing that Johnson's is abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't come all together for him yet. But I think he'll still put it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I would have liked to seen a player like Leopold be moved for picks. Okay.. so I have to admit.. I completely agree with you. I wanted Sekera or Leopold dealt with Leopold coming first. I wanted McNabb in the lineup. I'm still hanging in there with you on Leino. I'm optimistic that this year was as much a bad year for him as it was for the team as a whole. Still there. I think the Sabres may change to reflect what his skill set can bring. Whether or not it's Ruff that gets the team there remains to be seen. By most accounts on here it sure as heck won't be. As for players who moved.. not one of them would I have gone out of my way to obtain. Perhaps Ben Bishop if you were really future planning?

nfreeman Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm still hanging in there with you on Leino. I'm optimistic that this year was as much a bad year for him as it was for the team as a whole. Same here. I do think he brings a different kind of attitude to the team. Still there. I think the Sabres may change to reflect what his skill set can bring. Whether or not it's Ruff that gets the team there remains to be seen. By most accounts on here it sure as heck won't be. Me too. As for players who moved that I wanted the Sabres to get -- none, although I wouldn't have been unhappy with Sami Pahlsson, especially with Gaustad moving on. (Or Carter if he had a 2-year contract and not an 11-year contract, but I think answering the question means taking the player the way he is, contract included. And Jack Johnson obviously is a good player, but I don't think the Sabres should allocate any more resources to defense unless Shea Weber becomes available).

djp14150 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hello guys! First time posting here..... from way up north of the province of Quebec! I'm not a hab fan! I hate them! ;-) If you read or watch sports. It's all you can hear and read about: The Habs! Like nothing else exists. You have twelve persons following them everyday and giving you the same news over and over! It's not RDS for "Le Réseau des sports" (The Sports Network) but RDC for "Le réseau des Canadiens" (Habs network). I'm enthusiast about what my Sabres did but hope they get some muscle during summer! Seems here that Darcy made big moves and experts say getting first round pick for Gaustad is simple theft! Kostisyn????? Habs fans are celebrating is departure! Big guy with no heart! He'll be now able to celebrate every nights with is sibling! They love celebrating but maybe Nashville is so dull they have nothing to do so they play hockey! Actually in Nashville being the country music industry home there is a nightlife right near the Arena they play in...within a few blocks there are tons of bars and party places. Then you have a bunch of young country music singers im sure they would love to rock their world.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Is it you or Eleven that likes to mention corsi ratings from time to time? I know what the Corsi ratings are, but have never looked up any particular player's ranking. Based on your later post, I'm assuming that his aren't impressive.

Shea Weber....ever if they were to go after him it would have to be some sort of sign and trade....say Weber for Myers plus a few other pieces. The Sabres have abunch of young D-men they really dont need to go shopping for D-men. They have some 5 or so D-men in AHL or lower who are just baout NHL ready. Both Brennan and McNabb can play D. One of the problems with Ruff is that he is not good with rookies/young players. He is the coaching equivalent of say baseball hall of fame voters who refuse to vote a first time ballot player in just because it was his first time on the ballot. They need to use this depth at D as trade bait to improve up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your later post, I'm assuming that his aren't impressive. I've been hearing a lot about how poorly his number is lately. It doesn't seem to be a number that is easily available on the internet though.I guess it was X who mentions it from time to time. You two usually offer some of the most interesting stuff on here but I couldn't remember who it was. And just to add to my confusion, you both like Jack Johnson. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had more (any) freetime, I'd like to study them a bit and then see if I couldn't come up w/ something more useful. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalalalalaFontaine Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 really can't see anyone that was moved at the deadline that i would've wanted... pre-deadline deals however--->> i agree with previous posters that jack johnson would have been a good fit for me... not necessarily for lindy, because i still have no clue what is system is after all these years. i think that's the wildcard in all of this is that the guys that I/we, probably wouldn't fit in his "system"...

Jack Johnson has great offensive ability, but he's a sieve defensively. I think he could help a lot of teams, I just don't think the fit was good with our current roster and organizational depth.

TheChimp Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 LMAO!!! That has to be hard not to be able to live down a name like that. I don't know, if that were my name I'd make sure it was spun in a way that the girls were very intrigued... But that's me, a very cunning linguist. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
