Hope so.

let them give up the assets

John Vogl ‏@BuffNewsVogl 12m12 minutes ago
Sabres GM Tim Murray tells @pham1717 a buyout is possibility on Cody Hodgson but adds center is in Sweden doing needed work on his skating.

Ville Leino was also "a high possibility"

Murray won't come out and say it, but my gut tells me 75% BO for Cody based on that.

On Reinhart (SUXXXXX) and Freakorenko

Paul Hamilton ‏@pham1717 15m15 minutes ago
Murray said Reinhart came back stronger after his junior season and is spending a lot of the off season here training. He said he doesn't

Paul Hamilton ‏@pham1717 15m15 minutes ago
Foresee him in Roch either after how well he did at the end of the season there, but won't hesitate if he has struggles.

Paul Hamilton ‏@pham1717 12m12 minutes ago
Murray of course said Grigorenko will be qualified, but not sure where he fits in. He must pass through waivers to go to Rochester.

press conf? or was he on wgr?

As has been forcasted, Grigorenko and Hodgson's futures are well up in the air.

I believe Hambone caught up with him somehow and just fired off a few questions. No idea how, when or where. Dope and Bulldog will probably have their 3:45 Hambone segment, so he'll come in and discuss, I assume.

- TheSabresTaco

I think the guess that Hodgson is 75% likely to be bought out is a good one

Thanks for posting those Eklund rumor chart numbers btw, 89.

If anything, they lead to good discussion.

Murray on Cassidy

Asked Tim Murray about firing of Chadd Cassidy. "it wasn't about my guy or not my guy" Mentioned long losing streak w/ prospects still there

He said he has not officially interviewed anyone for the Amerks job yet.

He'll be fine. He tossed out Superenko like a used, crusty magazine years ago.

Swooning over Eichel has eased his pain.

But I wouldnt be shocked the Avs to be a player on Superenko if he was the odd man out. He wouldnt make it through waivers so a trade is a possibility I assume

Just dont know what his value would be like, sort of seems low right now based on how he has been moved up and down from the AHL and not really getting the chance to string together a good meaningful NHL season

He played like he should towards the end of last season. I was impressed at least.

I think it would be a mistake to give up on him too early. moving him bc you have plugs like Gionta in your Top 9 isnt sound GM work in my mind.

Gio and Moulson are guys you could look at moving, dont give up on 21 year old Centers bc you "dont have a spot for him"

What's everyone's favorite pick at 21? Assuming it remains 21, what would everyone's realistic top 3 targets be?

1. Jeremy Roy, D
2. Paul Bittner, LW
3. Ilya Samsonov, G (Don't flame me)
4. Bonus, cause you hate the goalie pick - Nick Merkley, C. I think I'd only pick him if he was versatile enough to play wing.

I like Jeremy Bracco a lot, but I think he'll be available at 31.

1. roy if he is there
2. meier if he is there
3. the pick I think they make DeBrusk

Yeah I dunno, there's so many ways of looking at the issue. We have Eichel*, Reinhart and Girgensons running the top 3 center spots for the next decade. If Grigorenko can't play wing, he really has no use to us. He won't be a defensivel specialist at the NHL level, that's for sure.

I really hope Murray gives him an opportunity to grow next year with a full NHL season. We saw him put in the work last season and I think, based on hearing a lot of various sources, his attitude has really adjusted in the positive direction. He's incredibly skilled but I think his foot speed needs to increase and likely his strength at well. He seems like one of those players that might explode when he's like 24-25. If he does end up getting traded, I really hope it's for a quality young player and not some random pick or AHL level talents.

When Reinhart gets 50 points with the Sabres next season, I am going to be a total d!ck on here

just giving everyone a heads up, it's coming
