inkman Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Really? Who were his wingers last season... thats right I just made your argument invalid. Also ask me who was 3rd on the team in points? Again your argument is invalid. Who is the best stick handler on the team, argument again invalid. Who is one of if not now the fastest player on the team? Yea lets get rid of Tyler Ennis he is the reason we sucked last season... :death: How many 160 lbs top six players were there in the league last year? What was that about invalid?

Wyldnwoody44 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 We need theo fleury to come to the sabres coaching staff, just so we can talk about having the shortest coaches in the league as well I'd do both deals in the title of this thread in a heartbeat tho. Too bad it's our good friend eklund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have as many child sized men on your team as you want, I want normal and perhaps even abnormally large sized me on my team. The league has moved away from the stupid lucky no touch season where the Sabres lucky into having a small speedy roster. Now good teams require players with skill and grit. I think the Sabres have some of these in the pipeline and even a few on the roster. I like Tyler Ennis. He plays with skill and grit. I'm just not sure if its enough to overcome the fact that he weighs 30-50 lbs less than the rest of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His issues are just way more glaring when the rest of our roster makes it really hard to give him an appropriate role (not a lot of good defensive or top 6 forwards).

thewookie1 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 My offer to EDM would be Miller(50%), Stafford, McNabb, and a 3rd Rounder for Hemsky, Eberle, and their 2nd rounder We get the 2nd big scorer our offense sorely needs and maybe the asset that convinces Vanek to stay. EDM gets a potentially super goalie, a 30 goal scorer, and D prospect along with ridding themselves of Hemsky. How I would love for a top line of Vanek - Hodgson - Eberle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 How many 160 lbs top six players were there in the league last year? What was that about invalid? Too much focus on size and not enough on production. The size argument worked for Gerbe because it obviously hindered his production. Ennis? He produces as a very, very solid top-6 winger.

Who is one of if not now the fastest player on the team? Yea lets get rid of Tyler Ennis he is the reason we sucked last season... :death: What argument? I expressed an opinion. I didn't come close to saying he was the reason they sucked last year. I didn't even use the word suck when describing him and wouldn't. My perception is that he is fast with the puck into the zone, but then he gets sloppy when pressed in the zone. I believe that has to do with his size and the fact that the league caught up to his game. Again opinion, but I don't believe he can be as successful on Buffalo as presently constituted (ie. having to be one of THE scoring leaders) as others do on here. It was too easy last year for other teams to take him and his line out or pen them in the defensive zone negating his speed. If he is on the team opening day, so be it. And for the record, I'm expecting it. But he does have trade value to the right team and if something could be gotten in return for him, I wouldn't miss him.

Huckleberry Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I don't see why we would trade miller for stastny though, why did we draft grigs and girgs then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I don't see why we would trade miller for stastny though, why did we draft grigs and girgs then ? Their future is uncertain, Stastny is an NHL center. Also, Stastny would likely be easier to trade at the deadline than Miller if his resigning is unlikely.

Iron Crotch Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Twitter buzzing again today with Stasny for Miller rumors. I'd be okay with that trade. Miller seems to want out and Stasny needs a change of scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 That trade makes us among the league's weaker teams in goal and puts Grigorenko in the press box. And come February it should net us a pick around 22 (to go with our own around 11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And come February it should net us a pick around 22 (to go with our own around 11) I think it moves Grigo to the 3rd line and moves little Tyler permanently back to the wing (where he probably belongs). I think it probably affects guys like Girgs and Larrson the most since they lose a potential spot on the big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'd put Stastny 1st line right wing or 2nd line center. I'd hope we could get something more than just Stastny though for Miller. A potential Vezina goalie for 20 goal scorer hardly seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I have no interest in Stastny. I know this will get me yelled out but I honestly don't give a f### anymore. Stastny is yet another defensively questionable center. We don't need another one of those. We really don't need to trade a valuable asset for it either. This team would make a bigger and better stride if instead of Stastny we went after O'Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Their future is uncertain, Stastny is an NHL center. Also, Stastny would likely be easier to trade at the deadline than Miller if his resigning is unlikely. Absolutely. Not that I put any stock in these rumours...but the season is still far away, so... I think any reasonable return for Miller ASAP will put the Sabres in a better position come trade deadline day, or...OR... may be the thing that makes Vanek seriously consider resigning. If the Sabres have Stastny and Vanek on the top line with whoever, and then the kids live up to their reps, it could all be a good thing. Plus, I read the Stastny uses a wood stick...the guy is hard core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
