Hello,been a long off season. Was golfing and received some Sabres news. As I stated earlier in the year Zemgus girgensons is a product of Ted Nolan. Does not understand positioning,freelances and has no clue how to play in a system.(Nolan has no system).He will be gone. Tyler Ennius will definetly be gone,IF they can get there perceived value of him. The Sabres are all in on steven stamkos. They will pay a boatload for him. I will get more info in next few days

Thanks for the info! Glad to hear from another good source that we are all in on Stamkos!

but we don't need Yandle, one of the fastest d men in the league


- homiedclown

Dude, I am not on here all the time but I see a lot. I can't say I've seen anyone posting that we should not get or can't use Yandle.

I'm all for getting him IF we don't overpay, and seeing that he is good and there's likely to be lots of suitors (and we are allegedly all in on the big Prize) we may not be able to get him/afford him. This is not me being negative...I try to be positive on here....but being realistic.

BUT I'd much rather overpay somewhat for Yandle than have to give up assets AND overpay for Nash, for example, but that does not mean I don't think we could use a 30-goal guy.

I kinda hope if we stay at #8 we land Nylander. And this board has finally wore me down to accepting that Girgs is a piece of crap and he's good as gone.

1/2 the posters says he is a pylon

1/2 the posters say he's a 4 d man
1/2 the posters say 6 mil is too much to offer him, of course the habs paid petry 5.5 per

so when people b!tch about how slow the team is, it needs to be posted we don't need a left handed d man who is one of the fastest and anchors a pp


it's not like pp goals matter
it's not like puck moving d men matter

instead let's pretend we have dom in net and try to win games 1-0

And Eichel is contractually allowed to do that? Seems pretty stupid from the Sabres.

Edit: Anyone have a link? I can't find anything about it.

All the guys are playing in some kind of league over the summer.

A friend of mine plays in a league with that has 8 teams and 6-8 pro level players on each with college and high school kids on each team. 28, Cole Schnieder, Cornel, Peca, and others that for some reason escape me are in this league.

Anything over 5.5 needs to be a 3 yr deal max IMO.

Defensively he is pylonesque which is worth female doging about if you're considering making him your other top pairing guy

If Detroit terminates Datsyuks contract it cannot be traded...

His his style is more OEL i'm not going to get your hopes up because were not gonna draft him
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Sergachyov Is the most physically dman out of the top 3. I wouldn't say OEL is a great comparison.

He might be too rich...

I'd do Scandella for Girgensons a 2nd round pick and Baptiste

Pearsson for something (not sure what he'd cost)

Then sign Boedker or Ladd

- bluengold12

Ladd and Kane on the same team again? That doesn't seem like a great idea.

But that's a lousy way of looking at it. There are a lot of d-men in the league who are upgrades over gorges and franson. Doesn't mean they are good enough to help this team have any sort of playoff success.

What exactly does terminate mean in this scenario? There's gotta be some advantage for them to take any action I would think.

The league better not let them get out of this a la LA and Mike Richards.

Serg will be the best dman in this draft - he's the complete package. Best shot of the group, great skater, most physical. Jul(finish dman) may be the smartest but isn't physical. Love chychrun but then he dies something that makes you say what the fck.

I'm still in the Keller train though - he will score a lot in the NHL

Like yandle but a lot of teams do and he will be pricey - think 6.5m per for 5+ years pricey. He certainly would help a lot on the pp but he's not great defensively and is more a top 4 LHD than a top 2. That's a lot of cheered for a 2nd liner

Even if i did you would bold a few names and tell me i was wrong so im just going to skip to the part where i ask if he's championship material why did the Rangers who have Lundqvist in net concede as many goals during the season as the sabres?

Edit: Personally, I want someone who is stronger defensively

if we were a top 10 team in scoring goals, I would agree


this team can't score

banking on kids taking 3 more steps is what led to the demise of the sabres after briere and drury walked


if I can get a top 10 scoring d man, with speed for 4 years at 6 per, I do it all day long given what this team has done the last 9 years

A rumor in agency of Finland with colleague in US is previous Buffalo Sabres goaltending Mika Noronen will became assistant with Sabres team


Gets this right then we know he's legit

- GERBE!!!75PTS

That dude is not legit. Not even in the slightest. You were here last year, and know he isn't. Another poster pointed out he tweeted he was just trolling around the trade deadline. I wish people would stop talking about him.
