Norcal Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 He was 4th in points for a D, 5th in Goals for a D, he's an offensive D and needs to get better defensively, Housley may be able to get more out of him. I'd love to have him on our roster. And to be fair when you have the star power that the Pens do it's only a matter of time that they beat you.13 games 1g 5a -4 in playoffs=not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Per John Wawrow #Sabres are pretty much done with free agency, aside from shoring up a few more minor-league needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassValleyGreg Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 13 games 1g 5a -4 in playoffs=not worth it The guy has played 500 NHL games, so its odd to say hes not worth it because of 13 games. Great hometown, shorter-term deal for NYR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck, our LW are Kane, Moulson, Deslaurier... If Alexander Nylander isn't ready then I wonder what the plan is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassValleyGreg Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 From NHL Network, we were one of 3-4 teams with major term/money on table for Shatty. I personally wouldn't have been happy w such a large contract for one-dimensional point but interesting to hear Botty was deep in talks.

I-90 W Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Yuck, our LW are Kane, Moulson, Deslaurier... If Alexander Nylander isn't ready then I wonder what the plan is there. We could have Samson center the second line, ROR at lw, E Rod at lw, and sign Vanek. And we just got Pouliot for lw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassValleyGreg Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm just as happy not getting him for what cost would have been. Same, although I have full trust in a prudent Botty not just making a splash for the sake of it. A lot of Botty's comments on D start with integration into Housley's system, which I'm sure is what really made Shatty a target. Happy about saving the money, but if Botty/Houser wanted him bad, its tough not to be a little upset that they didn't get their guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPuckYourself Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 We could have Samson center the second line, ROR at lw, E Rod at lw, and sign Vanek. Rodrigues on the 1st 2 lines? God no. Will ROR move to LW? I wouldn't mind Vanek at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-90 W Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 ROR should move to lw, not sure if it will happen though. E Rod won't crack the top six with Kane still here but if Kane is dealt he could though I doubt it. We're not too bad on the left side. Really want Vanek still though. Need to get rid of Moulson. On our left wing we could have ROR Kane Vanek Pouliot Girgs E Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our left wing we could have ROR Kane Vanek Pouliot Girgs E Rod This seems very far fetched, Housley wants to play an up tempo game, having the not so fast O'Reilly on the wing makes no sense, neither does Reinhart but we don't have enough good wingers to compliment our centers. Hopefully Nylander is ready and hopefully Vanek signs but these are all big if's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas23 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Just announced Buffalo had a 7 year offer to Shattenkirk, wow that's crazy that he turned that down. That doesn't instill much confidence in JBott. I hope it's not true, and it likely isn't considering JBott said there would be no big splash.

Brawndo Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 #TBLightning sign Chris Kunitz to a one-year deal at 2M. Per Brendan Klak Damn I kind of wanted him That doesn't instill much confidence in JBott. I hope it's not true, and it likely isn't considering JBott said there would be no big splash. Depends was the AAV the same or less. If it was 5.5 Million that's more tolerable. And Botts probably knew that Shattenkirk wasn't signing with Buffalo when he made that statement.
