I think the reported Vatanen, Ritchie, and a 1st deal would be a huge win for Buffalo.
- Pierceme69

Yes.

That would certainly be a win.

I'm not from the desert I hate it here, I'll move back home one day.

No Glue here

Did not say you were from there . Just where you are located for now. We all know where your heart is . At this point I feel like you are a brother from a different mother! Even though I am not originally from Buffalo.

I don't know what to think about that kid. If it's another Kassian, we lose.

I'm all for them losing as much as possible, but I don't want to see them break the 17 straight losses record.
- Pierceme69

Agreed. I get that the losses are going to far outweigh the wins this year. I expected it. But a win once every 5-7 games or so isn't exactly asking for a whole lot. And in the end should still get us to the goal we've all been reaching for in the first place.

Speaking of Gameplans. When we get a new coach that should also improve.

He has a 3 year deal in place.

I'd really be shocked if Ted was not here next year.

The bank of Terry is not an abyss.

I know Garth said it but that means nothing. Someone posted a different Anaheim source a day or two ago.

Bruce Garrioch I think is how you spell it, what does that tell you.

i don't know how the contracts work... but couldn't he be put into an administrative position without having to pay out the rest of the coaching contract?

It's the Glue I tell ya

There isn't a chance in hell they move Myers for a pick.
- SABRES 89

It would have to be a top 6 for it to happen, I think

That is what scares me about Ritchie . If he is another Lucic great. Another Kassian - no thanks.

I am sure something like that could take place.

Yea Bruce usually has a good pulse of what is going on around the league.

He is credible.

- BuffaloHardHat

Sure it is. Look how much he paid for Ville and Hoff to go. He just bought one rock star coach - I don't see why he wouldn't shower Babcock with cash if/when he becomes available.

Does anyone think a deal involving Myers has a goaltender coming back this way?

IMO he is about as credible as Hamilton...

He is in the building but he doesn't get good info

IMO, That is the last thing i would want for Myers. You could re-sign Neuiverth to an average deal and ice a better team in front of him, and he would be suitable.

For Me Myers needs to return a top line winger.

As a throw in maybe. Goalies are running backs now.

- Slump Buster

Perhaps you missed the point of my post? Not sure SB.

I don't think Terry is in the habit of just throwing away money all the time especially the remaining 2 years on his coaches contract.

I could see one but not two.

Interesting perspective.

The hell he is, he's a hack.

Exactly. Stop giving up 35 shots a game and start getting consistent pressure the other way and our goalies will look fine.

Agreed, the difference between the "good" and "Great" goalies aside from Lundqvist is minimal.


The better team in front of him, the better he will be. Just like a RB.

You think Stripes?

Whenever I have paid close attention to him, he normally knows what he talking about.

He's no hack.

But okay.

this is more where i am.. we need that top 3 winger or we will have a fairly weak top line
