Sounds fantastic.

My wish list is either Ryan or Parise.
- TerryPegs

I'm much more open to trading for Ryan or whoever if we get a parise 1st
That way one of the holes created by shipping multiple guys out will already have been filled

Obviously I hope I am too

I really think its Minnesota, Buffalo, and outside chance of Detroit. I think them deciding not to go is a telling sign
- CaptPantalones

I think there are signs being shown that he might just be entertaining other teams offers but already has his mind set on 1 or 2 teams.

****BREAKING**** My sources have informed me that Alexander Semin is "extremely close" to signing with the Sabres.

take it for what you will

Detroit just signed a goalie today...
- keptupl8

In case Miller gets run, once they trade for him later today

Anaheim is trying to rape us for Ryan though.. Haven't seen you around in awhile..

They want Ennis and McNabb+.. we also heard them supposedly mention Stafford... they don't want Roy or Sekera eitehr I guess.
- JVince11

I would do that deal quite honestly.

Ennis and Mcnabb ?

Yes , I would do that for Bobby Ryan !

(frank)in A

I would counter with staff and sekera, final offer
- homiedclown

If Parise signs somewhere else I could see that offered... but Staff isn't going any where unless parise is out of the picture...

I"ve said in the past that I went to HS with Staff.. I am not friends with him or still keep in contact for the last 4-5 years.. but I have friends that still talk to him and have said that he is not in Minny or Wisconsin right now.. they said they are almost positive he was on a plane to Buffalo some time this weekend.

Rather have Olli

Yeah at least we could do those funny gif movie things on the regular!

its a really cheap deal.. maybe just 2 year 4M or something like that?? maybe 6M tops.

If that does happen Darcy knows they are out of the Ryan and Parise sweepstakes.

- Buffalo--Sabres

None taken. Its a guy on twitter who claims to have inside sources. Who knows if hes actually got any.

If Goose got over 3, Olli should get better than that. He made 3 last year and a raise wouldn't be out of the question, especially since there aren't top 6 centers available

Wow. Brad Boyes to the Islanders. 1 year, 1 million. CHEAP!

1 yr deal for Brad Boyes with the Isles

Detroit just signed a goalie today...
- keptupl8

Not sure that Gustafson is a goalie yet!

I was talking about Semin... that same source said that Buffalo submitted a relatively cheap offer to Semin.

- TerryPegula

For 1M... Buffalo should have taken him back..

WE DON"T HAVE A SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST!!!

- RicoMartin

right, they must have signed him to replace Lidstrom. What was I thinking

- keptupl8

roy disagrees

Parise's agent has cancelled ALL face to face meetings because 20 teams have inquired

If that does happen Darcy knows they are out of the Ryan and Parise sweepstakes.
- mhp

Could Darcy possibly be trying to bring in Semin to play with Grigorenko ?

That's the only way this makes sense and what you said also makes it even more sensible I guess .

Burish gets 4 years from San Jose at approximately 1.8 per year.
