This is the year Brian Holzinger steps up

Its just Crazy that we trade Size and Skill Combo of the next Lindros, "CHRIS GRATTON"

for this pee-wee under achiever life long Ahler, Dan Briere, what a joke, I'm done with this originzation!

It does depend on the return. Eating 2 mill will drive up the cost significantly.
- Slump Buster

If you can get him without having to give up Ennis, Kane, ROR, Eichel, Reinhart, Girgensons and Risto I would do it

You forgot that Stafford guy

Brian Campbell looks like he might finally turn the corner and could possibly be a decent PP point guy too

Is there anybody here that wouldn't take Kessel at $6 million?
- Stripes77

Yes. And I'm not so sure the price would be that high. If Toronto was going to get a first for Kessel, be it this year or next year, I have to imagine it would have happened over the weekend

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Has DDM stopped in and cried yet?

Maybe they weren't keeping $2 million of his salary.

Guess or knowledge?

That was on TSN

Even though we are hosting the draft I love the idea of trading next year's first. Call your shot that you need to be good next year.

Hell, we don't need to. But it'd be nice.

Lehner and Ocho Cinco are going to determine a big portion of our fate next season

On top of that he is a natural right winger...
- Stripes77

Would we have to over pay becuase of Division/Conference?

Is he implying the two are linked? Seems more like housekeeping to me.

ummm ok..

If you're going to trade your next first you are really saying that you are going to be pretty good and then it won't be a valuable pick. Maybe "compelled" is the better word.

Steve Shields is the next vezina winning goalie of this organization and will make hasek a distant memory. I mean look at those numbers he put up at Michigan.

What will that shimp ever do I mean he is my size. Gratton will be a superstar

- Slump Buster

not sure how they could be.. other than to tell him, now see what hapens when you don't play defense or listen to the coach.. now sit down

- IndianaSabresFan

Yeah, the Bannana RETURNS!

I would like to trade Larsson with another prospect for some d if we dont go the FA route.

Something like Larsson for maybe someone on Nashville for example...

Wow! Good and Great news in one Tweet!

Minny - Spurgeon
- Irish 14

other than LHD and PP QB what are our big needs..

ummm ok..
- IndianaSabresFan

Honestly I have no idea what the tweet means, was hoping one of you could fill me in.

Not like they can extend him until 7/1

Hell, we don't need to. But it'd be nice.
- TheSabresTaco

Agreed, like I said earlier to Goose.

Make all the major changes this offseason.

It gives the team a year to gel and develop chemistry. Then you see what needs to be tweaked to take the next step.

That's my opinion on it.

- TheSabresTaco

It's an introduction to the media type conference call.

He isn't in Buffalo so its nothing formal.

I see him having his press conference to formally introduce him after July 1st when he signs his extension.
