Iron Crotch Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Good. F### the Aisles. They cost the Sabres the SC in '80. You can really hold a grudge, I see. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) You can really hold a grudge, I see. :PThet also kept Stan Fischler employed for about 20 years past his expiration date. They kept Milbury relevant in the league long enough for him to cajole a job w/ NBCSN. They are worthy of our distain for more than '80 & Billy Smith's butt end to Ruff's eye. They lucked into the Sabres choosing Ric Seiling. They sent the Sabres Connolly & Pyatt for Peca. They STOLE our Peca! They embrace players like Yashin & Satan. F### the Gorton Fishermen of Brooklyn. And some young fans don't know why we hate the Flyers. Good point. :beer: Edited July 1, 2018 by Taro T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 We can either cry or man up.... I’ve already figured he’d land there... let’s go... going to be a fun rivalry.... imagine in a few years us and them as the top teams in our division. Let’s go Buffalo!!!!

Taro T Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 That's not exactly what went on there, but they don't get any favors for Milbury. Yeah. That really is more of a rant against the criminal owner, but still; not paying Peca & not letting Regier pull the trigger on the Iginla deal is what indirectly led to Hasek leaving & blowing up that '01 squad. And the Aisles were the lucky winners of that shortsightedness - so THEY STOLE PECA!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Maple Leafs just add the big fish... There’s always a bigger fish. Yeah. That really is more of a rant against the criminal owner, but still; not paying Peca & not letting Regier pull the trigger on the Iginla deal is what indirectly led to Hasek leaving & blowing up that '01 squad. And the Aisles were the lucky winners of that shortsightedness - so THEY STOLE PECA!!! ;) Refusing to pay Peca was very bad. When you have a roster that’s close... you run with it. Iginla plus Peca and Hasek. And that roster? We could’ve done it. Heck. The Gilmour/Andreychuk addition sans Peca... add Peca to that team and Kasparaitis never gets a chance because we would have already crushed them, sent them running before us, and heard the lamentations of the women. So says my revisionist brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utica Club Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Some folks on twitter are calling for the Sabres to offer sheet Toronto's Nylander since the Leaves are in a tight cap spot. Gotta admit, I kind of like that idea. Sal Cappaccio was advocating this today on GR. He may have got the idea from you. The Leafs would probably be willing to pay Nylander 6.5 million per season, so, to beat that the Sabres would have to offer around 7 million per year and give up a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick. There's no lottery protection on that, which is why I think it would be a bad idea for the Sabres to make that offer for Nylander. William Nylander may be worth 7 million per season, but the Sabres 1st pick next season might be, um, 1st. I like Nylander but I think the offer might ultimately benefit the Leafs.

The Sabres aren't in a position to offer sheet this year anyway. The fly in the ointment is the conditional 4th in the Sheary/Hunwick deal which could turn into a 3rd. You have to use your own draft picks as compensation in an offer sheet package, if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
