How do they keep a cap compliant roster if they trade the three above at the trade deadline? By taking cap dumps back as part of the trades?

they must be because other than miller those are unrealistic returns

One more year of RJ, per, uh, RJ.

No.

Just like Bob Cole, he's going to retire a decade too late. Can't really blame the guy, though. It's all he knows.

if he wasn't such a legend they would have fired him..

SO where does AZ play on in the west next year?

Houston
Salt Lake
Portland
Milwaukee


Those are my 4 guesses.

do not hire Dan Dunleavy full time, he sucks

it's almost beyond sad
- homiedclown

Most of the time he cant keep up with the play anymore.
Stumbling over words, players names are wrong constantly.

they can have a team of Larrys

I had a debate with someone here about Roy

His peak prime wasn’t as long as some guys but for a stretch he was a legit mid tier/low end 1C.

I’d take Eichel in a heartbeat but they did have two legit top 6 centers when Briere/Drury left
- sbroads24

Very low-end.

They were both second line centers. Both had issues off the ice as well. Connolly couldn't stay healthy. Roy did for the most part, except for the 3+ month stretch in 2010-2011. When your team plays its best stretch of hockey by a mile when you're not in the lineup, you're not underrated. Derek Roy probably gets more credit than he deserves, which isn't that much.

He and the Tinman are both what if guys.

They both stay healthy and this organization is in a different spot.

Yep. It's sad.

the famous Darcy quote was never really far off, at all

what are you talking about we had two top 20 centers in the league those years..

Eh, small sample sizes can always be misleading.

If I had to guess, the Sabres got their best stretch of goaltending during that time frame.

Both were better players than Drury, the one who deservedly should be labeled as "over rated".

Is it bad that I cant stand listening to him anymore?
- ImThatGuy

No its not bad, I said the same thing. Its sad, very sad.. I NEVER listened to the cable broadcast, always RJ on the radio until he started doing both.

That man is truly the GOAT...

Yes no more than 2 years remaining on dumpster contracts

Colin Miller is still trash.

Love me some Jokiharju, though

- homiedclown

I remember in the late 70's hiding my little Radio under my pillow hiding from my parent so I could listen to RJ's calls of the game. Especially when it was a western road swing. I used to always get busted because I would cheer when we scored or when fights started. I was a stoopid kid....

Dan and rob ray together are like dumb and dumber. SOOOOO BAD

That might be. I believe the Enroth stretch in March was part of it. However, there aren't too many teams that lose their supposed top center and all of a sudden become a better team, goaltending or no. The Sabres are one of them.
