Tough to pick a team thats close to winning the cup . Could be any team.

Honestly if Doan does indeed make a visit here to meet with our brass I like our chances a lot more, I think Terry can be very convincing for him and his family to come here.

yup...agree..Terry works wonders on free agents...(well except Parise and Suter)

I think so too. And if Doan is indeed holding up all the other signings. he signs here , chances others follow and Darcy redeems himself ?

I think we have to re-define the term Long term. I mean if a player signs 3-4 years is that long term? If so then whats 14?

It's called "lifetime"

Not defending Kaleta but, look what the Flyers are paying Jody Shelly 1 mill, Kaleta is a better player IMO.

Exactly if we can get Doan to sign here that will work wonders for free agents and players wanting to come here in the near future it'd be a big step in the right direction.

Rangers look pretty good on paper.

yeah...almost looks like Doan or bust
- Sabres2012CUP

I would agree.

Yeah I don't think Kaleta's deal is bad at all. I like the term and the money isn't bad at all.

yeah... after all we have 'recruiting issues'

I think we have a shot at him honestly with how aggressive supposedly we are pursuing him and having Teppo and Kevyn Adams who have played with him helps a lot too.

He's seems like he really wants to stay with the Yotes but it just isn't working.

You keep laughing because I am counting the days until Lucic gets his ass handed to him like a lil by Scott!

"Cant wait" !
- TerryPegs

I'd rather see Thornton fight Scott just to see how he'd hold up.

How much is the contract worth? Has it been announced yet?
- CaptainRivet

Think you're about 3rd or 4th person to ask that when it is in the blog

- SABRES 89

At this point I'd actually be shocked if he stays in PHX, I think he will be moving on for sure IMO

That would be HUGE to get Doan over some other big teams, actions speak loud.

yeah... I don't think he'll be back..he waited as long as he could

Lets hope we can make it happen, supposedly we are doing everything we can to get him here.

put out all the stops

*cue the Terry photo that says 'gas up the jet' and bring Teppo

And if Doan elects to go elsewhere I think maybe just maybe we see a small deal like Leo for Cullen or Brodziak.

Excellent point right here!

Did anyone expect the 8th place Kings to win the Cup last year ?

Not many ....

- sabresfandan

i guess I would be OK with something like that

Im totally fine with the signing. Adding Ott and letting Kaleta go would just be a lateral move in their mission to get tougher. having both will give us one of the more "annoying" groups to play against. Not to mention PK can kill penalties

Rangers look pretty good on paper.

Not at center they dont!

to be honest I picked the Kings to win it all when the playoffs started. should've made it a bet instead of just proclaiming it.
