JJFIVEOH Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Deluca, here is your chance! In my opinion you seem to disagree with everything the Sabres do, and you contradict most everything that posters suggest on this board. That's perfectly fine, I have no problem with that. We all have our opinions and ideas; it creates discussion. So I would like to see what you would propose if you were GM for a day. What would your team look like if you could create one? Think of it as being a fantasy team owner except that you are the only one in the league so you have every player at your disposal. I'd like to see your version of a full opening day roster, try to stay within the confines of the salary cap, let's keep it realistic. ;) LW C RW D G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my assistant I need you to put together a list of all draft eligible players for the 2014-2015 and 2016 drafts. i will also need a listing of all potential UFA's and RFA's for those same years.

LTS Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Deluca sucks.. he hasn't even won a cup.. loser. Did you see him at his press conference? of course not, he's afraid to do one.. that's why there wasn't one. I heard other GM's are mocking his draft strategy to only target players who can fulfill the role of Oompa Loompa's in the next Hollywood reboot of Willy Wonka. He thought he was overvaluing his players but then someone told him that they pay salaries in US dollars, not AUD. (BTW: AUD is the former home of the Sabres, if you were a real fan of the game you'd know that and wouldn't confuse it with Australian Dollars.. or was that the owner for a day?) All I know is we're going to suffer.. Oh.. and you should have signed FUCALE... I don't even know why I said that.. this board.. it does things to you.

JJFIVEOH Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Well, the way I see it Chz is correct. This isn't meant as a call out. I rarely see Deluca agree with anybody or anything (that isn't meant to be a knock in him) so I am curious as to what he thinks would be the ideal lineup. He obviously follows hockey in-depth whether you agree with him or not, so it shouldn't be difficult to come up with a full roster that is Cap compliant. I'm not the kind of person to stoop to calling people out on a forum, at least not to the point of starting it's own thread. Hell, maybe other people could post their idea of an ideal roster. There's still two months to go before the season starts, there's certainly nothing wrong with coming up with something different to talk about.

nfreeman Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 What is the point of compiling a "dream" roster? How would this prove anyone's GM acumen? I think a better exercise would be compiling a roster that includes players in the organization, plus players that have changed teams in the past few seasons -- maybe since the February 2011 trade deadline -- ie 3 trade deadlines and 3 off seasons. The roster would have to be under the cap. And any traded-for players would have to have been acquired for realistic compensation -- no Roy-for-Malkin deals. Maybe I'll get started on this later...

That took ballz with this anti DeLuca crowd. I'll follow your lead. An awful lot of what he has to say makes perfect sense to me as well. Frankly I don't get the hate thats thrown his way regardless of what he has to say. Opinions vary. Its kind of childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I agree with deluca...on hockey...quite a lot more than I disagree. If memory serves, he agrees with me on probably the majority of my hockey views. So, I think the premise is flawed. Since this is the summer, and, really, nothing will mean anything, not even pretend GM moves, for another two months, I'd rather see this thread be about DeLuca: Head Chef for a Day, and he could provide the best Pico de Gallo he could come up with. I'm certain it won't beat mine, but, I'd be willing to throw down on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 It's not anti-DeLuca. It's what makes the most sense and how would you compile a team of checkers, scorers, shutdown with existing and other players around the league that fit under the cap. Deluca makes it seem so easy. It's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
