What about using our first round pick to try to get Getzlaf?
- rmiethaner


Noooooooo
Galchenyuk will be a better scorer/point producer than Getzlaf
Him + Hodgson + Ennis and we have our 3 quality centers for the next decade

Foligno and Adam will both benefit from playing in the AHL for the rest of the year and continue their development. No need to rush them to make a run at 8th place
- mccrisp


No offense, I said "if they tank." Why not bring them up if we're out of the playoff hunt? Play them the last 15 games for experience and let them show they're hungry. Certainly wouldn't care if they had to waive Boyes, Ellis, and/or Weber to do so.

Get ready for me to sound like Rico...

Take Galchenyuk 1st
Roy, pysyk, 1st(nsh), Sekera -> Shea Weber
Adam, Leopold, 2nd -> Dustin Brown
I think that's enough for those 2
Somehow dump leino
Getting weber & brown entices Parise to come here

Parise-Hodgson-Stafford
Vanek-Ennis-Pominville
Armia-Galchenyuk-Brown
Gerbe-McCormick-Kaleta
Tropp
Foligno
Switch the lines up... Add Foligno & Tropp and subtract Armia & Galchenyuk if not ready yet... But I think u all get the point

Our defense would also be sick
Ehrhoff-S.Weber
Regehr-Myers
McNabb-M.weber
Brennan
Schiestel

Um, that would be sick
It does work $$$$-wise if the cap goes up a few mil
But it's prob crazy to think all that could happen

Lol...super. Thanks for the info
- dilly


he was also a point per game in the playoffs last year, which may have possibly killed his future here because we expected too much from him too soon. That being said, I have no idea how he was a plus player here and he made some incredibly dumb mistakes (look at Giroux's OT winner here a few months back).

Armia will not be here next year.
- jochfr


Prob right
And it wouldn't hurt Galchenyuk to spend the year dominating the ohl again & getting confidence in his knee again

I typed it up that way more to show what a dominant 3 lines we could have 2 years from now

Gaustad easily gets 3 mill on July 1, probably more depending on the term.

Prediction: Hodgson scores 6 goals in first 5 games-
Then disappears ala: Bernier & Boyes

NOT A CHANCE!!!!
- RicoMartin


Boyes was in serious decline when we picked him up, but we loved the aggresivness the new ownership had shown. He came to us with about 40 points (I think). But this kid is no Brad Boyes, no Danius Zubrus, no Dom Moore. Consider him to be a bigger, possibly more talented Enzo. Love it.

Don't know if anyone has brought this up but at draft time 2008, Hodgson was projected to be the next Drury. Wanted him then, wanted him last night....We got him today.

Here's to Hodgson being the next Drury
Ennis being the next Briere
and for us being able to trade up to get Galchenyuk
and for us maybe having 3 centers we all like next season who combine to make around 7 mil. Number one paid center who? Maybe trade Roy and go after Parise in off-season.... the posssibilities are endlist.

Decent size
Not huge, but will hit
He's gonna be GREAT
The sabres are about to be in very good shape up the middle for a long time

Gillis on if Hodgson asked for trade: "There will be speculation that perhaps he did. But those discussions are held behind closed doors ...

Agree on all
Although Hodgson is def years away from becoming drury
Your point that we will be strong up the middle and for little $$$ does give us all kinds of options to add toughness both up front and on defense

How about that draft? Stamkos, Doughty, Myers, Erik Karlsson, Eberle.

Hodgson in 3 less minutes per game has twice the point production of Gaustad this season. Love this deal.

4 picks in probably the top 50 for Buffalo this June. Even if they don't trade any, given Darcy's recent track record in the draft, I'm optimistic.

Myers, Ennis, Adam, Kassian, Foligno, McNabb, Pysyk, Gauthier-Leduc, Armia, Sundher, Cantenacci.

Lot of talent we've accumulated over the last few years.

Maybe now we can say "Cody had a great game" and actually mean it.
