Poor Columbus,poor poor Columbus.Sounds like Nash s agent was designing this deal not Howson.On Nashville what do you do ?Over pay for one player when your team has many holes now or walk away.We took the panic rout with Vanek after losing both Briere and Drury but has it made a difference for this team ? Something to think about as Nashville now ponders its decission.Im still not in the Ryan omg one way or another camp and completely off the Doan ride now.Hes either going to a big market team or staying in Arizona.

I said this yesterday. This reminds me of the Hasek deal, where Buffalo was told not to take anything away from Detroit that would make them less of a contender.

I agree.I feel sorry for the fans of Columbus.

Sekera has "sick" trade value.

matt ellis played 35 games for the wings the year they won the cup

does that count for anything?
- homiedclown

does he have his name on the cup? what does it take?

If so then people can shut up about having a guy with a cup on the team.. i find that annoying

Think you have to play 41 or more regular season games or 1 Stanley cup finals game to get on there.

Only the 89 Flames have won a cup without a previous cup winner on it in the last 40 or so years.

big-market teams also have the most money to throw around

Mateo Ellacott: NHL analysists / "insider" tweets:

"hearing Ryan will likely go to one of Buffalo or Boston"

"hearing Stafford sekera gerbe 1st for Ryan but Buffalo doesnt want to trade gerbe" - Which if your darcy and that is the reason why your saying no to Bobby Ryan ..... that seems rediculious!

"Buffalo are the contenders for Ryan but i think he ll go to Boston"

Take this for what its worth .....and hope homer comes on to say its "correct"

I'd do this everyday

Staff V Ryan (Ryan is a better more physical Stafford
Sekera - 4/5 D man. Can be replaced by McNabb
Gerbe - Wont lose sleep with him gone. Has no fit on this team atm, IMO
1st. Little steep but I'd do it. Maybe try to drop it to a conditional 1st/2nd

I think another piece of this that a lot of people seem to be missing..

If the offer is indeed Stafford, Sekera, Gerbe, and a 1st..

We are shedding 8.25M and taking back 5.3M.

Unless another piece is thrown in we are saving money in this deal. Which would allow us still to have an offer for Doan or whatever it may be.

Stafford could have the same offensive production as Ryan but is just not hte all around presence that Ryan brings.. Sekera is a depth guy on D that we need to clean a spot out.. and Gerbe is just a hustle guy which without him would help clean out our 4th line debacle.

I take this deal YESTERDAY.

Anaheim did ask for Krejci and Lucic for Ryan.

I dont think any team has more money to throw around than Buffalo.

It's not...especially if they're asking for Krejci and Lucic from Boston. They're not going to ask for primary guys from Boston, but only depth guys from Buffalo.

Rangers still have 13 mill left to sign players even after the Nash deal.

even though MSG isnt a local station ..... i wonder how much the Sabres are making off of them because the amount of viewers per game here is a lot!!

(most Tv deals i dont think are public)
