Egor from some European Hockey writers association was on GR this morning. (I just remember the Egor part and he's a hockey reporter.)

 

Egor...

Antipin wants to come to Buffalo.

 

 

WGR...

Why?

 

Because their d is not good and he will start right away.

 

When?

 

As soon as tournament is done, talk to no one about it till then.

 

Is he as good as they say he is?

 

Yes. Small but tough on puck. Good eyes, good passes.

 

Where could he improve?

 

Speed. Could be faster. NHL is fast, he needs to be very fast.

 

Now we all drink vodka and cheer for the Sabres*

 

*What I said after the interview (and do during the games).

JBot should hire Egor

 

 

If he is Russian it is pronounced Igor.  That's a hard I, as in Igor.

I wonder if Kuli would be interested in re-signing if he had a fellow countryman on the blue line with him. 

Was thinking the same thing... even a one year deal for Kuli to prove that it was his injury that slowed him down so much...  I do think he will be much better next year... Back injuries are notoriously tough to come back from...  But if he gets more than 1 year all the more power to him... I would not sign him.

He's small and isn't fast. Maybe there's a reason there is no bidding war here. I mean what team really needs defenseman?

Calgary, Chicago, Columbus and Pitt were all interested in him. All five teams can only offer him the same 1 year max but we won cause we can offer top minutes cause our d is awful.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
