Johnny DangerFace Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Of course. But I'm definitely not one of those people. Jason Pominville is my favorite Sabre that I've ever watched in my time as a sabres fan (12 years or so) and I was extremely pleased with that move. I was VERY excited about Zack Kassian but love that trade. I was EXTREMELY pleased with the picks of Grigorenko and McCabe. haha didn't say you were one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Zadarov says he is NHL ready and i believe him :D Anyone else see that spark in his eyes when he said he loves to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Zadarov says he is NHL ready and i believe him :D Anyone else see that spark in his eyes when he said he loves to hit. Darcy said he won't be in the NHL this year, and Zadorov certainly isn't ready. Ristolainen might be and Darcy indicated he's on track to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Very cool seeing the Devils let Brodeur announce the drafting of his kid. Nice touch NJ. :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 so next year erhoff - weber Myers - Risto Pysyk - Ruhwedel mcnabb Pardy Pardy is a UFA "Suffering" I think they pick up a defenseman in free agency or a trade. A nasty stay at home type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Still wish they selected Nichushkin at 8. @BuffaloSabres That's all folks!

thesportsbuff Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Fixed Lol, absolutely no faith in Ruhwedel. I think you'll be surprised in the fall. Still wished they selected Nichushkin at 8. Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 @DarrenDreger Florida tried to acquire first pick overall, but Colorado wanted 2 of the Panthers top young roster players which killed the discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Lol, absolutely no faith in Ruhwedel. I think you'll be surprised in the fall. Yep. Yep. And not pleasantly. Rudy is the kind of player that only gets a spot on bad teams. He's Porter/Flynn/Ellis/McCormick on defense. I'd rather they throw McNabb to the wolves and see if he makes it out ok than see Rudy in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Well maybe mcbain will surprise us but i doubt it. And if the plan is to tank, moven some more D-men and make room for zadarov - risto to both play. Edited July 1, 2013 by Heimdall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put Mcbain down as 25 because he was born in '87, but if we go by the age of his arteries it is probably closer to 35, so that pulls the average up...

Maybe we'll "tank" our way all the way to the 7th overall pick in 2014! I won't be shocked if Vanek or Miller is still here to start the season. And what is Ehrhoff still doing on this team? Does he really want to spend the rest of his prime years on a terrible, last place team? And couldn't the Sabres actually get something for him? If we're trying to bottom out, we're still doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's Porter/Flynn/Ellis/McCormick on defense. I'd rather they throw McNabb to the wolves and see if he makes it out ok than see Rudy in the lineup. I don't know about that. He's a rookie who jumped into the fray and outperformed the vast majority of the Sabres defense. Very small sample size, sure, but it does say something for someone to be able to go directly from college to the NHL without really losing a step. I just don't see what you have against him to label him as a depth d-man with a low ceiling after a very limited window to watch him play. Did you follow him in college? Did he have a bad reputation? All I have to base my judgement on is the handful of games he played with the team, which he played very well in. I'm not saying he's an immediate top pair can't-miss guy, but just don't see why you feel so strongly that him making the team is out of the question. I guess i'm just optimistic until he shows me a reason not to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 All I'm gonna say about Ruhwedel at this point is it's really easy to look impressive when there are literally zero expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it wouldn't shock me (and after recent events i now expect) Miller and Vanek to be here for next season, without signing extensions. We will trade Vanek/them at the deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
