I think I've heard of it, haven't watched it though.

duel was a pretty decent flick, if you have 2 hours to kill

I worry a bit that should the Sabres not get Stamkos they will be to far behind other teams on the other top tier free agents...

I would've expected to hear of some teams being told they are out on the Stamkos race by now but that doesn't appear to be the case...

I think the general consensus on this board is the reason we are hearing so little of the sabres' endeavors is because they are trying to avoid looking like chumps a la Babcack goin to the laffs

Me too. I'm disappointed we weren't in on Yandle or Goligoski. I also want Ristolainen's contract done, every day that goes by it gets more expensive.

Heard this morning that Stamkos has his list down too 2 teams now. Some sports guy on national news

to me, Vesey is more important than Stamkos. I'd expect to hear Stamkos near by tomorrow and Vesey news on July 1 when he can officially sign

I get that. I'm saying we are not hearing us being very active with other players which worries me if we spend too much time on Stamkos and lose out by the time we try and make another FA our priority they will all ready be gone.

I would've thought by now team sources for some teams out there would be saying they were out on Stamkos but we haven't heard that from any team or team source

I don't know how credible Howard Berger is but he mentioned yesterday if Stammer left TB a little birdie told him it's either Toronto or Buffalo.

I just hope we don't put all our eggs in one basket, and then that basket comes crashing down and all our eggs are gone. Lol

Although I have this fear as well...even if we didn't sign any more big name FA's the team looks like this:

Kane ROR Ennis
Vesey Eichel Reinhart
Foligno Larrson/Girgs Gionta/Girgs
Delorian/Moulson Schaller Girgs/Gionta

Russian Risto
McCabe Bogo
Georges Nelson/Franson

Moulson, Schaller, or Delorian and random scrub UFA D-man and Franson riding bench

Bottom 6 is a bit disorganized. Last D pair is meh. But that's not an awful team...

I don't even think the guys were rumored to linked to will be that beneficial...

Backes is 32 and puts up around O'Riley numbers kind of a moot point for that contract/term
Nielsen is also 32. I don't know much about his game.. Is he fast? I know he avg's around 48 points a season. That's good but he's also a center and doesn't seem to be that big of a need...

We appear to have no interest in Ladd, Errickson or Boekder scoring wingers and we're not getting Lucic. Okposo I've heard from people we're not that into and he will get A LOT of interest. So I see our options being pretty limited if we don't get Stamkos.

we don't need stamkos though

it's great if we get him


we do need a goalie and a top 4 d man

other options are stink, stank and stunk


we have seen those players before though

You're assuming we sign Vesey. I'm not convinced yet we do unless we make big FA moves. Without Vesey and any other true top six players we have zero% at making the playoffs

We do need at least one more top six player or we will not make the playoffs

for $20 you can buy a season ticket

What about The good Foligno from CBJ?

I'm not banking on vesey either
