And Sekera has sick trade value so Garth's proposal would be Sekera and a 1st for Ryan and Getz

I really do too, but come to think of it I listened to Eminem in high school and that was 10 years ago.

Yes, but worse. Eminem hasn't made good music in 12 years, that makes me feel old.

The only way we give up too much is if its peices we don't need. I would say Leo(based on contract) Adam and a 2nd.

But that would likley be short.
- Buffalo--Sabres

that prob wouldn't be enough
and dont get me wrong... i'd love to get Ryan...
and i know we'll have to overpay to get him...
but all those pieces + vanek or pominville... HELL NO

my guess is they'd want sekera over leopold bc of potential & sekera's contract looks amazing considering what carl just signed for
adam makes sense
and i'd much rather give up that 2nd, but depending what other teams are offering it'll prob have to be a 1st
that's a deal i can live with,
even though i think adam will be a 20goal scorer in the league & sekera a pretty decent 2nd pair guy

hodgson between vanek & ryan would be a ppg player

Vanek/Stafford, Sekera, and Adam for Perry.
- JVince11

only if perry is extended at a decent cap #
no way i give all that up for a guy that can walk at the end of the season
and it'd have to be stafford...
throwing in vanek is too much

I wasn't aware that he ever made any good music.

Kassian for Hodgson and Sulzer. Totally unexpected. Suprisingly decent trade.

Roy for Ott. Totally unexpected. Should make the team tougher and shake up the stale way of doing things.

Who knows whats coming next. Darcy is a trade mistro. He got us Drury, Briere, Lydman before the lockout. That too was totally off the radar.

I almost pooped when I saw those offers...also he said "IF" Grigorkeno makes the team but yet he has him on the first line. I think "IF" he makes the team he is 2nd/3rd line...not first. Although I wouldn't doubt seeing him center Vanek and Pominville for a couple shifts to see if there's a spark.
- shanekern03

if grigorenko makes the team,
i dont think we'd act ually hav set lines 1-3...
it'd be more like we have three #2 lines

which im fine with btw
i like the idea of 3 scoring lines

5 year 35M extension.

best song ..

First album when he actually was a bum off the street. Then he music was great. Now its pure crap. Him rapping about how hard being rich and famous is.

- sambarugh

i actually did like his music at one point.. it got pretty bad and then i just stopped listening to it..

Lets recap here: Trading Leopold and others will get us Briere. So say Leopold Adam and a 2nd so then we trade Ennis Sekera and a First for Ryan?? So our lines are:

Vanek Briere Pomminville
Stafford Grigs Ryan
Ott Hodgson Foligno
Leino Kaleta Gerbe

Love the sound of it but come on

not sure how that works

yeah, i could see some "under the radar" moves coming
leopold + pick for read(phi)
leopold + mccormick for helm(det) + pick
adam + sekera for stewart(stl) + pick

stuff like that

i did call the roy for ott trade though, at least a week before it happened
once they traded ribeiro, it just made too much sense...
i did think we'd get a pick out of it too though

sounds good to me

"rap" sucks (for the most part) anyways...
its so commercialized & waaaay overrated

"hip hop" is where its at...
jurassic5, mos def, etc...
hell, black eyed peas were good before yoko, i mean fergie, turned them into a dance-pop group...
talk about the ultimate "sell out"
i once saw black eyed peas on Warped Tour
now they do TV commercials & ruin super bowl halftime shows

Briere, or any other player of significance, will not be joining the Sabres this offseason.

Darcy is pretty content with the current roster and will probably only make a minor depth move to acquire a 3rd line center (ie. Matt Cullen) or jettison a surplus defender.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is setting themself up for disappointment.
