serious question for you sabres fans:

the guys in the nucks thread are offering bieksa + for eichel (and are totally serious about it). since bieksa is clearly close to eichel's value according to them, how much more do they need to add?

i said they could offer up their whole team and it wouldnt be worth eichel, and they just called me a troll. thoughts?

My serious reply is...
Why would u go on the Vancouver thread?

Unfortunately for them, they will prob continue to just make the playoffs & lose in the 1st or 2nd round

Unless they can trade the Sedins & start a major rebuild, they're kinda screwed
Possibles...
Florida? Arizona? Toronto? Philly? Jersey?
Idk, but they're in a tough spot
Too bad too
I love watching the Sedins play. They are the best passing duo I've ever seen. They really do some amazing stuff

For them trading the twins would be like getting a new team. Major move for them.

Find a new dealer

New page, new idea

3 way trade between Buffalo, Colorado and Toronto

Buffalo gets O'Reilly
Colorado gets Grigorenko
Toronto gets to play against O'Reilly


Boom

Still think trading Gringo will be a mistake. He was playing balls out the last few games of the season here. He will be on the top lines for a while till the new kids get used to NHL play. Will need some depth at center and can play wing .
- cabin

Trading him now would be BC I don't think he has much value
He did just have an almost ppg season in Rochester, so he's clearly coming along
No reason to dump him now
Let's give him a year in the top9 with some decent linemates & see what he can do?
I remember him being compared to Malkin by scouts...
What better coach to have right now?
Not that I expect him to be Malkin overnight (or at all), but he certainly has tons of talent.
Now that he appears to have his head on straight, let's see what a real coach (sorry Ted & Ron) can do with that talent

Edit: Now I want to make my wings on the grill.

I'm a freak when it comes to food
I will literally try dozens of ways of cooking the same dish with different tweaks to it until I get it perfect

Double cooking wings really makes a difference, u just have to be careful not to overcook them

to be honest your whole team couldn't get him

Ya, I agree
But what options do they have?
If they just play out the string, they just aren't gonna be good enough around the twins to win the Cup unless Miller just has an amazing run

They really need to consider trading them now, while they can still get a lot back for them
Send them to philly for picks, prospects & a few bad contracts
They might be ballsy enough to do it
Heck, the Bruins need a shake up. Tough to see them playing "Bruin hockey" though

We will need some depth for injuries too. If he ends up being a top 6 winger , why trade him ?

Bunch of teams will be different next season. Thats the reason i'm thinking the Sabres will surprise.

But we have MFE to take over any injury that may occur, he could even coach or GM if they come down with Ebola or something

I've never been a fan of highbrow chicken wings. I wouldn't say no to yours if you put them in front of me. But I like the simplicity of 10 minutes in the deep fryer, franks and a little cayenne pepper. Technically, its something no one should be able to screw up and should always taste excellent!

I think down the road Girgensons at 3, Rinehart at 2 and Eichel at 1 would be a pretty impressive lineup of centers. you could even call Rinehart and Girgensons 2A and 2B or whatever depending on the matchup, or who is playing better that night.
Either way, im not complaining!
- seedy

If Girgensons is on the ice then that means eichel or Reinhart aren't. I don't like that at all. Reinhart our #2 with girgensons on his wing. That's the shutdown/counter scoring line. Larsson can play 3rd line center. I want eichel and Reinhart playing the majority of the time. When you watch other teams superstars they seem to always be on the ice. Larsson is a good enough 3rd liner. Him foligno And baptiste can be a good pest line

to be honest your whole team couldn't get him

He's not a Van fan....

Has anyone mentioned Grigs for ROR yet today....?

Taco?

Oh my yes. scroll back!

They're delicious pretty much any way u do them
Do u like BBQ wings? Those are normally finished on the grill.
That's actually what first gave me the idea to do regular hot wings that way too

Fresh wings marinated in franks on the top shelf of the grill. 30 minutes done and crispy.

I think that trade needs to be revisited...

I'll be better able to have that discussion if he actually becomes a winger
So far, he's only played center
I'm not against him getting a chance on the wing though
Seems like a bit of a long shot to me though
And he kind of has that Vanek-like style that Murray seems to not be a big fan of

This will be an interesting year to see how a number of players & prospects play out

Where in the nucks thread was that said? I couldn't find it

If he starts scoring every other game , I don't care what position he plays .

Funny I couldn't find it either, i only found where someone mentioned Lack and the Sabres.

I'll have a couple BBQ if someone has them at a party or something. But i guess for all intents and purposes, im a traditionalist.

I'll definitely give that a shot. Med/Low-ish heat?

....nevermind. went back and re read it. Top rack of the grill...
