What has he proved? He has played 36 games with the sabres so far and has 1 goal and 5 assists. He needs to start showing more at the NHL level to be considered a part of the future

He's a bottom 6 forward.

If he's here in the future, it's as a line 4 forward.

Linus Omark part deux ??

Maybe...Maybe not

A former 10th overall pick with size. Little risk with potential reward. I think its worth a shot

By "right move" do you mean that maybe we didn't get enough for him? It was cleary time to break up the team and start over so that part of the equation really can't be questioned. It is tough to know what we were offered. We didn't get any of Minny's top prospects so that kind of hurt. I have a feeling that this may end up being a win for us in the long run even if it is only Zads.

They wanted Vanek, Darcy said no as he had dreams of resigning him.

Speaking of Darcy, he signs on as an assistant GM in Arizona, and they become an on-ice disaster.

So lets see if he can prove it and not give ice time to waiver wire players

He's played 10 but he has had 32 games to learn.

Huh? Watching is not learning in the NFL....

Rodgers, Young, Brady etc disagree.


EJ isn't an NFL starting QB, period.


He lost the room after 4 games.

No, not really. Although I would have liked to have gotten more of coarse. No. I just dont think we necessarily Needed to trade him. I think out of all the issues/problems this team had in the past, Pommers was not one of them. Just my opinion though.

But you know as well as I do, they will go with EJ next year to save Whaley

Crazy day of back reading. What a wild day in Buffalo sports.

Pommer wasn't the problem, nor was he the solution. Darcy should have asked for another player, Larsson stinks.

To me this is the most important stat of EJ's short career.

I'm not sure EJ is here next year.

So from what i've been reading, Orton just walked in and walked out? sorry forgot my wallet and by the way, piss off?

Unles you take back a horrible" Cutler" contract he is.

They could have sent him there on a conditioning stint without having to clear waivers though. The only difference is that he would only be there for a limited time.

They probably figure nobody is going to claim him coming off of knee reconstruction surgery so didn't bother. This way they're not limited to how long they can keep him there.
- HonkFortheGoose

I read somewhere that hackett needs 8 more nhl games where he plays 30 minutes or he becomes a UFA at seasons end. Theres no way he was gonna get that. Maybe that figured into the waiver decision.

So lets see if he can prove it and not give ice time to waiver wire players

If Orton is a step above EJ, then Cutler is a step above Orton.

This organization is about baby steps.

Gotta love it. We spent the morning flipping out about how EJ should have played. Right in the middle Orton retires. He clearly reads our posts and cares deeply about our opinions.

So we should be good with Cutler

Did he really? I completely missed that part.

That's kind of hard since he called it quits this morning.
