Buffalo Sabres sign Mavericks Defenseman Casey Nelson.


Edit: Who ?

then why is larsoon the 3rd line center, not girgs?
- homiedclown

Because he's playing on a line with Eichel and Reinhart?

I hope there is a happy ending to the story with stamkos passing the cup to ror in FNC
- homiedclown

Fulfilling your crusade to rid the team of one guy getting paid less than 900k doesn't get us the cup. Yes you want stamkos and another top 2 d man and this or that but all of that takes many steps... you ragging on the same guy for two months day in and day out has gotten us, well nothing

Too busy playing top 6. It comes down to Bylsma. He's the one putting Girgensons where he doesn't belong. Now let's say this, if Girgensons isn't top 6 who do you put there? Fasching is a possibility moving forward but did Moulson deserve it more?

82-22-12 have been a good line so I understand not breaking them up. D-Lo is with ROR. That leaves who? Legwand, Catenacci, COR? Girgensons is likely in that spot out of necessity right now rather than being there as Jack's future winger. I understand that it's frustrating but let's reconvene next season if Girgs starts on that line. Otherwise I feel like we're too early.

Do we try to get Bobby Ryan from the Sens if they make big changes?
- SABRES 89

Yes.
I feel like if you take his entire cap hit you could get him for less than Hoffman.
besides his first year for the sens he has been a solid 55 point player which isn't elite but impressive for this scoring era

No need to really keep bringing it up, especially on a post that had nothing to do with him...

Only thing I'll say is I want ROR passing it to Stamkos.

Thank you that was my entire point...

Is Girgensons better than Larsson? Sure. Is the drop off significant enough where I'd shut down a trade if a team wanted Girgensons? No.

As I've stated anyone is available for the right price... but i have to imagine if that was the case he would of been gone at the TDL if he gets moved during off season then o well

Ddm made it.... It sat long enough unclaimed so I snagged it

Sabres cap after the season: $46,878,689
Stamkos cap hit: 12,000,000
Sabres cap after Stamkos: 58,878,589
Sabres cap minus Ennis and Moulson: 49,278,589
Net: 2,399,900
Factoring in a potential buyout of Moulson: 2,888,888
Sabres cap after the season after Moulson buyout: 52,167,477
Net: 5,288,788

Getting Stamkos will cost you 5 million. I'm willing to do that.

And when it doesn't you do the same... Tit for Tat

though i don't recall anyone saying they DON'T matter... i only recall many saying at the time we had a 10th place PP unit and our 5v5 was at or nearly worst in the league and one was more important to work on. Semantics i know

Why are you trying to start a fight? Can we not? Hockey talk, great. Trying to act like an ass, not that great.

Potential lines for Saturday?

Kane-O'Reilly-Fasching
Girgensons-Eichel-Reinhart
Foligno-Larsson-Gionta
Deslauries-Legwand-COR

Risto-Gorges
Bogo-McCabe
Nelson-Pysyk

I'd move Girgensons but I don't see who will slot in there and do better. Moulson would be a scratch unless you want to send COR down. If you want Moulson in the top 6 then I guess you could do that but I don't like it. Maybe D-Lo to open up space but still not fast enough IMO.

It's nice to have the " Problems " cap wise the Sabres have now instead of what happened in years past. We are talking about possibly getting a star player instead of losing players.
