I remember when Shane Doan used to be good oh wait I don't

Four letter word has the same meaning . Sounds like truck.

Our 4th line has 2 guys on it that have scored a pretty good amount of goals in this league
I know ppl think Moulson & Ennis are garbage,
But they aren't

We have a pretty decent amount of talent of front...
and that should result in a decent amount of goals against a badness team

No luck should be needed imo

Did anyone post this yet? ECC freshman crushed a ref

Where's Andrew Peters when you actually need him?

Do I have to do a sarcasm hashtag for this statement?

If we kept half Moulson's salary...
think we could get someone to take him?

He's not horrible, and can still score on the PP at least

No, you keep him to get Tavares next year...

Thank God that didn't happen

Take.....away.....the (frank)ing...pass

If ROR isn't playing hurt, he's playing drunk. WTF is this dude's problem.

Nilsson looks like he's in ELITE status

Elite Evander

Honestly, when is the last time we had a really bad goalie? Lalime?

Very good player throughout his career
Didn't he have over 20goals last year?

That ref was clearly out of control and grabbed the player by the jacket. The player just kinda pushed him a little. Nothing to see there.

WE can build a wall. everyone is doing it

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Murray wants Jonas Brodin coming back the other way.
@DaveDavisHockey

I like Dumba & Tuch - get 2 of these 3 and a high end pick
- Irish 14

They have no more picks

Idk, I dont want any part of trading Kane. Wait until the offseason why these teams hands are exposed

Probably focused on crushing puss.

Over a career sample size, yes. Pay him now.

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.

28 last year. 13 20 goal seasons in the past 16 years, 2 of which were 30+ seasons. He stinks. Never got 60.

Well if we lose to the 2 worst teams in the league 2 nights in a row it might get Disco Dan out of here faster.
