GARTH'S CORNER: Gorges Will Have Surgery; Weber, Zadorov, Strachan Out

Clearly the Sabres believe in getting rid of guys with questionable character histories. Zadorov should start packing his bags. He, Kane, and Bogo will all be dealt for some more reputable players!

You can't blame him for a flight being cancelled. This is probably his first infraction that he is at fault with since joining the team.

Not exactly true. But, if a trade were to happen, and I'm not saying one will, but, if one were and a D had to be in the mix, Zads has earned his way to the top of that list.

Back in Denver today, snowy, Big change from my visit a couple of weeks ago.

With Gorges out, you guys need a veteran d-man to lead your kids....Nonis should be on the phone with Murray offering Robidas to fill the hole. Wait, I didn't do it right.....If Murray was smart he should be on the phone with Nonis.

*That's my best Garth impersonation, minus the spelling mistakes.

Trade Zadorov and Hodgson to Carolina for Skinner and Sekera... then trade Sekera to a contender for future assets (prospects and/or draft picks)... the Lightning are believed to be willing to part with a 1st round pick for Sekera.

That's not Yzerman's m.o.

Why would Carolina do that?

I think Sekera goes to LA at the deadline and the Bolts grab Michalek.

That's not Yzerman's m.o.

Rangers pick, and Friedman mentioned that the Bolts might be willing to move a 1st in the right deal since they have 2

If that's the case then why doesn't Tampa just trade a first to Carolina?

Kane in Workout gear! Trade him now.....

I hear a lot about teams scouting the Sabres but who are the Sabres scouting?

So you want to trade a future star defenseman for an underachiever in Skinner and a UFA defenseman that will most likely leave? Seriously bud put the crack pipe down.

We don't want any crap dmen from the leafs Garth. We got good vets here already that can lead this defense. If Murray is smart he will leave it as is.

Hansen is a forward.....

Here's what I heard may be out there, whether rumour or speculation, you decide if you like it:

Chris Stewart, Mike Weber and a low 5th pick to NY Islanders for Griffin Reinhart and a conditional 3rd pick if Stewart signs with NY
( The fact that Buffalo would want another Reinhart makes sense from a marketing sense, but Reinhart and Pysyk played together in junior, so this also works as Buffalo's 3rd pairing for next year)

Andre Mezzaros to LA or Anaheim for a pick

Cody Hodgson, Jake MccCabe and a 2nd pick round pick for O'rielly,

Vancouver will look at a Buffalo goalie for sure if Miller is out for a while and Torrie Mitchel may be headed there as well.

Benoit is a low cap hit, so as a 7th defenseman look for Pittsburgh, Washington, Detroit to be interested, and Detroit especially if Buffalo takes a contract for them like Steven Weiss....Detroit may also like Mitchell and may be willing to give up a minor league defenseman to dump the Weiss contract

No thanks to Stewart, or anyone else on the Sabres. All of those are... silly. At best.

Looks like both Islander fans are accounted for this morning.
