bunomatic Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Inherited Burke's team? Weren't quite a few of the players Burke inherited drafted by Ferguson ? That would make it Fergusons team...Dunno, I could be wrong but you get the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaneuf Lupul Kessel JVR Bozak McClement Liles Kadri Colborne Gardinier Franson That is the list of guys on their team Burke drafted or traded for (off the top of my head).

shrader Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 You do a google street view of roads around the arena. You'll wonder whotf goes to their games. I went a few years back. The building itself was great. The sea of banners is incredible. The surrounding area had to have been one of the strangest settings I've ever seen though. If Buffalo could surround an arena with Skyways, that what it felt like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit needs a new arena and maybe some economic development will help. I look at Buffalo and think how lucky they are to have UB and Pegula and the Casino all investing in DT.

Eleven Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Trade rumors around RFA Cody Franson on the Leafs. People think they don't have enough cap space to sign both him and Kadri. I'm seeing that, too. He was an assist machine last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Not that you guys were inferring the Sabres should be interested, but I'm not sure we should be. And not just because we already have a little log jam at D (we could sell the Leafs a cheaper defenseman). While he's arguably the Leafs second best defender as far as offensive production, he's been playing some of the Leafs' easiest minutes for the past two seasons. He did take a big step forward this year and he does produce offensively, so maybe there's consideration for that, but you shouldn't expect he's going to come in and play a shut down role. Is there more room in Buffalo for another offensive defenseman with Ehrhoff, Myers, and Pysyk, all whom are unlikely to move in a deal for Franson, ready to play? History (MAGs, TJ Brennan, Leopold) says no, but if Franson projects to be better than one of the former, then I'm all ears. I think there's other teams that would be more interested. Colorado?

My first reaction was "wow, that sucks." But they'll be fine. They'll get that billion back within 5-6 years and then they'll build an even better arena for a billion and then get that money back quick. James Dolan is one rich fella.

Marvelo Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I would think that Grabovski would be a good acquisition for the Sabres. He definitely has an axe to grind with Carlyle and the Leafs at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if a team is in a rebuild or not, you need to have some experience and veteran leadership on your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I don't care if a team is in a rebuild or not, you need to have some experience and veteran leadership on your team.

You can add veterans for the short term, no need to make long term investment at this point. Save the longer term contracts for retaining the prospects that hit.
