Replying to Clown as a 2c for Moulson (the site kinda sucks on reply quotes these days):

Yes.

And his stat line tonight will be 1g2a.

Yeah, here's what I think. While it's unlikely any of us has a clue about what's inside Darcy's head, and things like the salary cap, NTCs/NMCs, and the declining economy's impact on future revenues make it nearly impossible to trade anyone of any significance, it's not inconceivable that the Sabres could make a mid-season move.

Vanek, Roy, Miller, Pommer are probably not on the block since they represent the young core of this team and are all locked up long-term. We all know Vanek's contract is insane, but given the length and amount of the others, it seems unlikely to me there's a better deal out there. Remember Larry Quinn is a numbers guy, and 5 mil 6 years from now will be looking pretty good. Roy's deal is an especially favorable one for the club. You might even be able to throw Goose into this category b/c his value to the Sabres is high given his hustle and toughness.

Max, Kotalik, and Connolly are popular choices for a change of venue, but their UFA status would mean they'd need to go to a contender for the receiving team to be willing to assume the risk. That said, what's the likelihood of a contender sending the Sabres something worthy of a blockbuster? That's not even taking into account Max sucking for the last 2 years, Kotalik getting a reputation of being lazy, and (Tin) Connolly being more fragile than the leg lamp in A Christmas Story. This, coming from the guy who actually owns a Connolly jersey.

As far as young talent at forward goes, Stafford, MacArthur, Paille are the only roster players in that category. They're all tradable, but not enough to bring in an impact player. To me, the Sabres would need to include one of Mancari, Gerbe, or Kennedy to get another team interested. Possible, though Gerbe seems like he's got a future here.

Lastly, if they're really trying to fix the recent injury problem at defense, they're not going to trade any defensemen. Even still, it's more likely they'll do what they did last year and bring in a veteran like Nolan Pratt to temporarily fill the gap until Weber and Sekera are healthy again (a few weeks?). I haven't looked to see who like that is available, but they found someone last year and could probably do it again.

We Sabres fans have gotten used to the fact that Darcy rarely makes any moves. In fact, who really does anymore? I'd love to be wrong, but not at the expense of 26 / 9 / 30 / 29. You can have Peters. Twice.

truly epic

"Is it hard that when I order a chicken finger sub(in the Buffalo area mind you) that when I say "all I want is chicken fingers(bbq), mayo, amer cheese, and onions" to get just that? I know how I want my food and have ordered it that way for oh...I don't know 25years. For you to say thats not how I ordered it after you read it back to me exactly that way is funny. Listen fvck stick I've worked in the pizzeria industry for 17yrs. I know how to order food . I hope you enjoy the fat pile of sh!t I left you smeared on the widows. That was two weeks worth of not picking up dog sh!t. By the way I pissed on the door handles. Go fvck yourself!!!!!!


Sorry for the drunken rant.



Ps We still suck."

Michael, you still have Moulson on line #3. It looks like coach Bylsma isn't consulting with you

I think i've got one in their somewhere as well

26-41-28 line looked good from what I saw in the game against Minnesota. Securing Reinhart with that veteran presence is smart. But I still see him with Eichel
- Acup2buff

Agree, he feeds off playing with high level talent. Put him with your best talent.
I've always liked what Q does in Chicago with Toews and Kane. Split the wealth and make adjustments mid game if you need a spark.

Reinhart said he has not been asked to live with one of the player's families and probably won't be.

Why would he want to commute all the way to Rochester every day?

Geez...go to an annoying "training" (my god...these people in there took 20 minutes to load a website, sign in and change their default passwords...) and come back and Boos has another new article, so my post on the old one now needs made here.
