"The Amerks, surprisingly, have more than held their own since the NHL's March 2nd trade deadline when Buffalo GM Tim Murray moved three forwards from the roster."


The pissing contests I got into earlier today say you and me are wrong with this observation

Wow, that lineup! If the Sabres don't finish DFL, it won't be for lack of trying.

Grigorenko for Bennett would do wonders for both players. And NO I'm not trying to fleece anyone here.

Im not opposed to it. I happen to like Bennett but I think Grigs will be dealt for defensemen.

I don't really know much about Bennett.

So are the Sabres going to try and convince 25 that how they handled his development in the last 3 years were just a fluke, and try to resign him as part of their long-term plans? Will he and his agent want to be part of this organization? All this back-and-forth nonsense, playing on the worst team ever, while guys who are cemented AHLers get called up ahead of him has got to be demoralizing.

Leave him up here for the rest of the damn season!

he was on emergency recall and was sent back down once dalpe came back...before that he'd played his first game in nearly month because of an injury....

point taken...timing might be a little off though

Matt Hackett will start in goal for the Sabres.

I think he means if they actually deal for O'Reilly that Grigs would head the other way

Ok gotcha. Nothing cemented

Yeah supposedly the deal would of went down at the trade deadline but murray didn't want him to come in and affect us much this year. Grigs will be part of any deal that involved ror

And I'm not trying to start that talk again about trading for him

maybe you need to sit a few rows closer
- CaptainRivet

Grigs = how Calgary handled Baertschi. Has he demanded a trade yet? Too early to say he is a bust, but this yo-yoing wouldn't be likely to endear him to re-sign either. Take a 2nd for him?
