I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Scott is going to put him in a position where he has to fight. Everyone knows what this signing is all about.
- The_Inkwell

That is right. You know, the more I think about this signing, the more I like it.
I can't believe I am going to write this, however: Good job Darcy.

Pommer for Ryan is ridiculous?
- Homer

yes. what would be the point of that trade?

Brennan and Tropp go down. Ellis could as well (2 way deal)

plus they likely now move a d-man
- CaptPantalones

Ellis is actually on a one way contract this year

give me a break...I nailed the exact type of player they were going after.
- Homer

What do I need to give you a break for?

My 12 year old nephew said the Sabres are going to go after an enforcer. Should I give him credit for having sources too?

No Brennan, no Ellis, probably no Roy and Tropp doesnt have a spot sewn up ny any means
- Homer

Tropp > Kaleta

Link??
- JVince11

- Powerslave

to become weaker instead of becoming stronger.

- CaptPantalones

I thought Ellis has a oen way next year........can still go down though.

Ellis has a 1way deal this year... Remember.. we all flipped poop when we saw that.. bis 2nd year of this contract is a 1 way..

Tropp > Kaleta
- FIREonICE

ah, its close

Pommer for Ryan is ridiculous?
- Homer

Change the idenity of this club!

Ryan for Pominville, Yes

Sign Doan - give him the C

Roy & Pysyk for Pavelski

Myers, Hodgson, McNabb, Ennis.......... New core!

Just my opinions

I like it on our end, but I don't think the other teams would go with it.

I personally didnt see you post it either, fair enough

Gotta LOVE NHL 12, where you too can be an armchair GM and make as many trades as possible.

What are you talking about? We are in the offseason, he doesnt go through waivers at all. Before the season starts you can bury anyone with a 1 way contract in the AHL and they dont go through waivers.

Hes an RFA anyways. I believe he was qualified but it hasnt been announced if he has accepted terms.
- theblueandgold

WTF are you talking about. I'm talking about the number of players on the roster now and who makes the team in October. To make the final roster Brennan has to pass through waivers to go down to Rochester this year due to his years of experience. They can't just send him down now without exposing him to waivers.

The moral of my story is many bodies, only 23 positions. Trades WILL have to be made.

Can't we all just get along?

haha man the egos on these boards are funny sometimes

- Homer

Ah thats right i had it backwards. But yeah he can still go down. i, like you, dont see any scenario where Scott isnt up here

then expose him

it's because of that mentality being displayed on a regular basis that i don't even bother with trade ideas. it's pointless.

13th Forward

I didnt see him post it
- Homer

tropp > busted pawed kaleta

it is close when they're both healthy, but i really like the way tropp plays and kaleta reminds me of avery and is a Richard himself.

Let's be honest here, Brennan isn't the 2nd coming of Mike Ramsey...or even Mike Wilson, at this point.

I posted last night that they will sign either a guy like prust who isnt a heavyweight but still fights, or a true heavyweight that can fight but cant play like Parros...was it Parros, no but it was a guy just like him.
