Half the league wants Stewart so it's not crazy. Sabres need a G and at least one D to make sure we don't Rush all prospects. Pysyk is only one we need up.

SJS pushing for Stalock in net so maybe sabres go after Niemi

FA Targets: Beauchmeiu, Green, Z. Michalek, Joel Ward, Justin Williams, Niemi etc

- Beezer33

i don't know about joel ward..

Niemi would be a good stop gap. not sure he is the long term solution though

Stewart isn't fast enough to hang with Getzlaf and Perry IMO, but they want an upgrade over Smith - Pelly.

Neimi stinks, he's a product of how good the Hawks are, he hasn't done anything with the Sharks and gotten shelled as of late.

I wouldn't touch Beauchmeiu, he's hurt way to much, Joel Ward was talked about before he signed with the Caps as to coming here.

26 of his 30 points has come while on a line with either Kane or Hossa. Not so sure that's a sign that he's a true 40 point guy anymore
- stashu

third line needs what, 25 points?

I think with foligno and gringo, that is realistic expectations

He wants a longer term deal. I'd say four years is kinda high on him. I'd go three years 19 mil and tell him to take it
- Beezer33


6M + per season for Stewart???

We do not need a 5 mill a year goalie IMO, we can find someone in the 4 range, Neimi isn't worth 5.

That won't happen, just go after Kessel if they want to do something foolish.

Varlamov 5.9 mil
Lehtonen 5.9 per
Miller 6 per
Bobrovsky 5.6 per
Bishop's new deal 5.9 per


my guess is he will land somewhere between 4.5 and 5.5 per

He needs a pay cut not a pay raise. We already have a big contract in moulson who doesn't produce and is only getting older

Anyone catch the coach interview with Nolan on the bench last night? It was during the 2nd period but I had a good laugh. Interviewer asked him what he changed about his gameplan heading into 2nd because they were generating more zone time and chances... Nolan response? Mumbling, stumbling then... wait for it .... "work ethic"


Go get em Ted!

I don't think he got the memo that you can't out-effort teams at this level for very long (if at all). I would have asked a followup question about offensive zone start percentages just to see him completely freak out.

Get off Kessel bandwagon and get used to Eichel. Makes more sense
