Doohickie Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hodgson this game and Stewart last game as healthy scratches. When your $4 million "scorers" are getting scratched for guys like Mitchell and Flynn, they need a change of scenery. Or maybe he's instilling a sense of urgency. It seemed to work for Stewart who by all accounts pretty much flipped out. Who could we feasibly trade him to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'd love for Garth to take him and I really love the idea of sending him to Phoenix for a 7th rounder. Hopefully the offer gets leaked to the public and they either take it or the GM in Phoenix has to publically decline and admit his assistant GM was a moron for offering him the deal in the first place. Unfortunately I think it's all just wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hodgson has been working harder in spurts, but he is our least effective forward. Hodgson/Stewart/Foligno can play top nine minute someplace in this league, but not on this team. Each has value, but less value than last year.

Brawndo Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) The Sabres are going to have a helluva time finding someone to take Hodgson's contract off their hands. At this point an expansion draft is their best hope Edited December 11, 2014 by BRAWNDO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Or maybe he's instilling a sense of urgency. It seemed to work for Stewart who by all accounts pretty much flipped out. Awfully early to come to this conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 The way he freaked out it looks like the sense of urgency is there; you're right in terms of not knowing if it will have the desired effect on his play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) The INSTANT the Sabres are locked into a 2015 top 2 pick, I NEVER want to see them lose another game. (Caveot: if a Sabres loss does absolutely nothing to their playoff positioning but it could result in a heart rending playoff miss by the Loafs, Phlyers, or B's or ideally all 3; I'd probably be ok w/ it.) Exactly how I feel as well. But I hate this feeling of ambiguity all the time. Hell, sometimes it's not even that. It's downright HOPING the other team scores. I feel so slimy. GO SABRES!!! BEEEP. Beep Beep Beep. We gotta a dry clean-up in aisle 19 please. Dry clean-up, aisle 19. Will we be needing a shopping cart too, sir?

Claude Balls Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Will be interesting to see how the "soft" Stewart comes out tonight. I think the chances of him scoring are much less than him trying to break someones jaw. Frankly, I'd love to see a Gordie Howe hat trick out of him. I know, highly unlikely. There's a better chance of Gus or Foligno getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Not sure where to put this... @TSNBobMcKenzie: No decision made yet but BUF is seriously considering loaning Nikita Zadorov to RUS for WJC. Murray said on WGR that he's going to sit down with Zadorov and find out what he wants to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) I'd be surprised if Zadorov wants to play in the WJC. He's already dominated it, and it seems like he likes the competition the NHL has to offer Edited December 12, 2014 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
