It's a blah move based upon what I read

Have you watched any of the BU games? I thought he was one of the best players.

Crawford was never worth 4.5 mil. Chicago doesn't need an elite goalie and should have called his bluff. Apparently darling is better anyway. Goaltending is a position that reallY can be over and under valued so easily and the coaching system has a lot to do with that.
- SabresFaninIndiana

I don't think the wings will spend big bucks on goalies anymore.

I had really high hopes for both of them. They both have backed off on hopes. Possler is a high talent player that has had injury issues. Ullmark I just don't know I have seen him play never but his stats scare me being all over the place.

I wish them both the best. But still hope that Possler is our late round gem
- SabresFaninIndiana

Posslet was really good the previous season. I'm interested to see how he does in Rochester next year.
Ullmark was stuck on a horrible team, but his stats worry me too. He's in Rochester next year as well. I'm guessing Hackett isn't resigned.

I don't think the wings will spend big bucks on goalies anymore.

I hope we don't either. Just pay Irbe and keep him here.

Agreed. Good chance we end up with a pretty good goalie and always one fighting for the job.

Yeah and Chicago fans lose their sh#% if you say anything negative about Crawford too.

Miller should be in

Nope. And I don't think Chicago will either. They made the right move with Niemi but caved with Crawford.

You honestly think that Jack Echiel wasn't selling his friend/Linemate ?? This goes a long way to show Jack how serious we are about welcoming him to his new home!

Rodriguez developed a ton of chemistry with Jack Eichel at Boston University, and the two players will now likely be with the same NHL franchise.

The Sabres will sign undrafted free agent Evan Rodrigues from Boston University according to WEEI. It is a two-year deal according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

The 5-foot-11 senior winger spent a majority of his time on Jack Eichel's wing, and took advantage of the opportunity. He had by far his best season statistically, scoring 21 goals and 40 assists in 41 games. He nearly doubled his previous career high, and nearly tripled his production from the season before.

Rodrigues was second in NCAA Divison I scoring, behind only Eichel. He served as an alternate captain with the Terriers this season.

honestly has nothing to do with Jack this is more to help a guy that worked his ass off and gave him a little reward is going to help Rochester Americans out

Being close to Chicago and my company having an office just outside Chicago I will call shenanigans on that. One of my managers who played hockey understood when I laughed at him about that contract.

I think Chicago is 50/50 on Crawford

Miller should be in

this but his injury is lingering still, his own words

Could be more than that. What we were saying.

It's not .. The Rochester Americans team is freaking terrible I don't even know who they're going to bring back is more to help them out than us yes he could get a call up but there most likely will be six guys ahead of him

First and foremost, for that reason, keep him away!!!

Signing him has "Nothing to do with Jack"????????


Even if by some extreme illogical form of thinking, management was to pursue him whether we ended up with Echiel or not, This without a doubt, and "Honestly" will have ripple effects upon Jack Echiel.

You cannot deny this unless you've had too much of that ethanol or whatever you pour into your mouth.....

Oh boy.
- SabresFaninIndiana

the game is settled by who has he most goals..


Not the most saves.

And that is the sign or song of a good or even close to elite goalie but hell Crawford is with 14 mil a year because he wins a lot just like miller "used to"
