Plan the parade.



We might win the calder cup.

Then I wouldn't do it. I'm not sending a player I really like to Philly. It would make me want to punch a baby or something. I hate them that much.
- HonkFortheGoose

Pretty much this.

so did briere and leino..

it would probably take McNabb ++ to start to conversation on our end..
- SabresFaninIndiana

Briere leaving was a disaster
He's not coming back though
And with the center depth we have coming, there's no way I'd trade McNabb
I want him in our top4 for the next decade or so
I think he'll end up being better than Myers
And I think Myers will be pretty good too
I'm also not trading Pysyk

shocker, Lynch arrested again

If there was one guy that should've been flushed down the toilet.......


Its him.

Leino and a 2nd for Briere.

I said this before the end of the regular season.

I say leave McNabb in Rochester this year. Pair him with Pysyk. Then you have a pairing that could be together for a decade.

Leino and a 2nd for Briere.
- dadeadhead

I would do that in a heartbeat.......


Though I think the point of the trade for Briere in the first place was to play with Pommer and Leino.

- dadeadhead

Briere would be all nice and dandy.....

But we will have to get to playoffs first before his presence is actually seen on the ice and on the stat sheet.

Id rather move Leino.


Ott/Briere/Pommer

i also think they would laugh at us for offering that..

I disagree. He's a good performer in the regular season as well. This year wasn't his best, but I'd be willing to risk it anyway.

not completely true...

Oh, absolutely. They would never take that offer. But a girl can dream........

Can we recap McNabb for a second.

- Played 25 NHL games
- Looked average in rookie camp
- Everyone seems to think he is the next coming of Scott Stevens

Am I missing something?

He scored 34 goals in 10/11

Briere in Philly during the regular season

330 games
118 goals
267 points

he really sucks in the regular season

Frees up 2mil in cap space for them.

Its also less money per season as 10mil of leinos deal has already been paid and is owed 17mil over 5yrs compared to Brieres 12mil over 3.

He's got the tools. He uses them very well. Management is also high on him. They want him in the top 6, but currently, there is no room. He's big, he plays with an edge, he can run the PP. He had 8 pts in 25 games and was playing a very vanilla game while he was here. Just imagine how much more he can do when he really gets comfortable.

He had 30 points in 45 games in Rochester. He's a game changer.

I had to explain why I didn't want Marleau here about 5 times already. Then I get told I don't know what a good player is.

I'm not sure how many times I have to say, I like him as a player, but that I don't think he's the RIGHT player that we need right now. For some reason, it's a difficult concept.
- HonkFortheGoose

No problem there Goose.
I understand where you are coming from.

Last 3 regular seasons:

Briere has 170 points in 222 games
Roy has 148 points 195 games

Briere has a .77 ppg in 222 games
Roy has a .76 ppg in 195 games

I don't see the worth on his 6.5M contract

you were saying?

Does a so-called "average" rookie camp mean he will not be good?
What about that kid who had a hat trick in the scrimmage?
Does that mean he's the next Crosby?

McNabb dominated in juniors and in 2/3 of an AHL season
Plus a pretty strong performance up here for us
I like what I've seen from him

I could be wrong of course,
But I think he has a very bright future
I think he'll be very "pronger-like"

Sometimes it's about intangibles as well. Briere makes the players around him better. Roy never did that.

it could also be taht we have such high regards for him that we over analyze everything he does and if he doesn't just knock our socks off we call him average..

where as players like Pysyk, Leduc, and McCabe got very high regards from people because we don't have to see a "knock your socks off" kind of moment every shift or two.

just my 2 cents.

please don't respond to my posts, I would hate to get another attacking e mail like I got for posting a picture of miller getting toasted by crosby

I can run the streets and be up for 30 hours straight still, but damn it takes forever to get right after doing it nowadays
- homiedclown

Bang on again.
I play on 4 different sports teams during the summer and run on every non game day from April through November.

I need more service then a 30 year old car during the winter months after that.
