How often do you shave?

I like the hire. He's done many things well, especially with the minor league team and the cap BUT....

how much of it actually matters if they dont have Crosby, Malkin Letang?

Not saying hes incapable of finding another high end guy, just that hes got a bigger challenge here than he did with Pit.
- Sabresfan-365

I get your point but how much has Letang even really played? He's missed a ton of time.

Look...
I'm simply saying that if we want Gorges gone,
and can't get another team to trade for him,
there's a very reasonable option of buying him out
- jdfitz77

I understand it's not optimal but why compound a problem by making the Gorges contract last 2 years when it's over after this season?

That makes no sense to me.

what the hell is up with this site lately? Cant login and the ad's are just stupid.. can't scroll to the bottom of the page because it resets to the top of the page.

Just to get him off the roster
If he's here, he's our 3rd pair LH defenseman
Wouldn't u rather have Guhle in that spot?

Of course I would, which is why Gorges wouldbe the 7th Dman and his butt would be in the press box until an injury warranted his playing time, which would likely be often with how frequently injuries occur.

Never lol .. tried the Rogaine got peach fuzz so I gave up

Proof that we overvalue our alumni and overcriticize our current players.

Jets blogger asks "Do the Jets have a problem in Tyler Myers?"

He characterizes Myers as a 27 year old bottom pair defenseman, injured or unable to play all year last year, making $5.5M for the next 2 years.

To make this simpler for you, Zach Bogosian - the atrocity - is 26, and makes $5.25 a year (for 3 more years)

I think that's a pretty good deal for Bishop. I wouldn't mind if the Sabres had signed him to that
- chilliard77

Uh, NO, there you go thinking again, It's a good deal for Bishop because he wanted more security than money, with a better defense in front of him, Lehner is on par with Bishop and I want Botterill to offer Lehner no more than 2 years.

Because the jets blogger said so? Coyotes and caps blogger says franson is better than ristolainen. does that mean we have a problem in ristolainen?

Dont think ive seen anyone here overvalue alumni in quite some time. players with potential we've given up sure but i dont think anyone misses the roster players that were moved during tank nation.

Edit: Myers salary is somewhere around 3.5 mil for the final 2 years, which would be attractive to a team like the jets.

I can agree with this post. I hated trading Pomminville.

Actually if you read the blog it says he's better than where he'd be placed in the lineup, and his contract is too good to just let walk.

- chilliard77

It was the Stu Barnes trade all over again except he didn't cry and neither did I.

But seriously, I cried when they traded Stu Barnes. He was devastated in his interview and verging on a complete breakdown. Possibly my favorite Sabre after Maxie Poo.

"By now though the problem with Myers and his role with the Jets should seem clear, it’s hard to imagine him fitting in as a 5-6 guy and who does he usurp to go further up the roster?"

Basically, Tyler Myers is a top 4 RHD, whose unfortunately stuck behind two top pairing RHD.

He's his own worst enemy, too. Plays too timid and absorbs too many hits instead of standing his ground. He's not injury prone so much as his style of play exposes him to injuries, if that makes sense.

this would be a non issue if they hadnt committed to byfuglien. I still dont understand that.

He had his newborn almost die this year.

Of all years, this is his year to get a pass.

I used to think he was great, heavy obviously not close to great.

But he's still better than Bogo by a margin

Yeah, as a half-Jets fan I don't get it either.

He's truly a guy that his stats don't tell the whole story. He's brutal on D
