Nick was a 1st rd pick, Marcus a 4th rder. Don't confuse the talent level of the 2
- turbo044

Agreed nothing more than then a third line -fourth-line player and if he thinks he's worth more money peace

Yakapov not given qualifying offer to be a UFA...knights bound

indeed
- Stripes77

Fixed

stars d is brutal

you put him on a decent team, he is fine

if they move on from lehner, I'd kick the tires
- homiedclown

I'd like us to call Detroit about Mrazek
Seems like they're giving up on him
I know he had a rough season last year, but that whole team sucked
He was really good the 2 previous seasons
He could be our franchise goalie
I think he's only 25

Do you think Gionta will be back?
- mattsox

I hope not

They think he's a wiener.

If we move Sam to 3C,
I'd give Yakupov a shot on Eichel's wing

Little risk, potential high reward
Yak was good when he played with other good players

I would be all for it low risk High reward and if he does good half the season we could trade him for a free pick

he was good never.
- TheSabresTaco

Not true
Look up the stats when he played in the top6
They were solid

If I remember right, he was almost a ppg with McDavid
Something like 12pts in 14games

He kept getting moved down bc of his defense though

he was good never.
- TheSabresTaco

He was very good his rookie season people caught up with his techniques and he didn't change anything to adapt to the game

- GERBE!!!75PTS

At this point, I'd rather go after guys like that
Then give Radulov 6mil + for 6yrs

Despres for the defense?
Probably wouldn't cost too much
2yrs, 2-3mil per?

Only 900,000 he will get and people are going to pass ?

Could be one of those Michael grabner type of Rewards

Why stop there? He probably scored 2 goals in one game in that stretch. He might shatter records and hit 160 some year.

Despres Might be done with hockey

Nevermind that. Can we hear more about your fantasy golf winnings?

had spieth, berger, hoffman and reed

1, 2, 3 and 5th

worthy of a little gloating

another goalie on a team with brutal d


put him on the flyers, and he is a fringe top 10 goalie next year IMO

oh and mike smith has no excuses this season

fedun is a very good depth move


now move bogo and gorges and get that one last piece



DO SOMETHING

Despres Might be done with hockey
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Assuming he's ok of course
I'm not sure about his health
I guess I thought he was ok bc Anaheim was able to buy him out

My point was,
I don't see any UFAs out there I want to sign to long term deals

I'd rather sign a guy or 2 who might have some upside,
that could potentially give us good bang for our buck

am thinking that two years max term might be the way to go...however, that might up his cap-hit
- Michael Pachla

two years to figure out the shootout & if not then see ya

Since it's looking less likely we can trade for a legit top4 defenseman,
Mrazek (for a 3rd?) & Neal (for a 2nd?) would be tops on my wish list

For as much as Lehner gets ragged on over the shootouts, it's also a little bad luck.

What are the odds no one hit a post or fanned on a shot?
- sbroads24

Would prefer not to rely on luck here ... plus the odds of a miss would go up if Lehner could make a save or there was more pressure on the shooter knowing the goalie was hard to beat

It sounds like he's going what Chris Pronger went through with his concussions

I knew something was up when they just signed him for five years and they buy him out the first year

I think they're done on D *hides*
- Sabresfan-365

Were u the one who first brought up Despres a week or so ago?
I like that idea if he's healthy

I'd rather find a guy like that, who we can give a 2 year deal to
Instead of Smith, Stone, Alzner, etc who will likely demand 4-5yrs
