I don't believe you when you say the Sabres have "soured on Armia". Not one bit. He was one of the more impressive rookies at camp last month. Has a hell of a release and shot, and has good size and speed.

So, to the contrary Clouts, I've heard the Sabres are HIGH on Armia.

I totally agree. I dont understand how he thinks the sabres have soured on him. He just signed his elc for petes sake. Hes the type of kid buffalo needs along with girgonons and grigorenko. Thats our future. Saying the sabres have aoured on armia is crazy

The kid is going to step right in and replace Vanek, IMO. Should be in Rochester next year, and if he does what he's supposed to, Buffalo the following season.

Schultz Sr. seems like a perfect #5 dman, anything more though seems like a stretch

With having watched him a lot, I disagree. The reason a lot of us see him this way, though, is because he wass rarely more than 20 minutes TOI while here. Minnesota held him in high regard for a reason. If all goes wrong, he could play play a stop gap role on our top pairing quite effectively, as he was in Minny.

Hahaha for one I could weigh 190 easily with 15 or so % body fat. I prefer to be ripped instead of eating mcdonald's every day. I can bench 280, I am good thanks. I am sure you talk about your days of when you were an athlete and moan to get some more cheetos.

But you are very correct, their legs are big. They are very strong from the waist down, and are prime athletes. In fact they are also nice people as they will have a beer with you. You make it sound like I am degrading their abilities and commitment by how much they weigh. And truth be told, I am very good at guessing people's weight, so I should take up your advice on joining a carnival. Thanks homie.

The point I was trying to make was if Gagner and Hodgson are listed as being heavier than they actually are, then so are the rest. Therefore, they aren't that small relatively speaking.

Bragging about benching 280 and being "ripped" on HockeyBuzz. Thats cute. Some skinny women see themselves in the mirror and see a fat girl, and you, a skinny guy see yourself in the mirror and see a "beast" bigger than two NHL players. You could probably benefit from eating a little Mcdonalds here and there as obviously 6' tall man should have enough muscle on his body to make him weigh more than 160lbs, Anorexia isn't cool bro. And if you are a 12 year old boy then i do sincerely apologize as puberty will undoubtedly release some hormones to beef you up.

Yes, I agree with you on that. All sports do it to all players especially basketball when it comes to height. I was responding to the other dude.

the rumors i am hearing are that gagner would come to buffalo, and then we would send ennis++ to anahiem for bobby ryan. thats why they are apparently interested in gagner.

No you are right, his statement of " They always exaggerate height & weight dramatically" was rather absurd. They don't take their stats down mid season, they are done around training camp time. After a summer of not being in the midst of an 82 NHL game schedule, you are absolutely right, they probably do weigh a lil bit less in the season than they do coming into camp. Except penner, his weight goes up during the year

Hahaha oh man, if you had any clue I would be offended. But obviously you don't haha.

*This whole deal functions under the assumption that ANA and/or CHI have Kane and Ryan on the market for Eklund's rumored asking price*

BUF trades Luke Adam and Brayden McNASTY to EDM for Sam Gagner and Paajarvi

This trade fills a hole for EDM; a responsible, aggressive, two-way d-man and a younger and larger 2nd line center replacement.

For BUF, this opens up options for which to put into a deal for either Bobby Ryan or Pat Kane. ANA asking price for Ryan is said to have involved a 2nd line center, an NHL quality D-man, and a prospect winger or two. I imagine Chicago's needs are similar, save maybe they'd rather have a goalie than a D-man. Who knows, if they could reunite Kane and Gagner, they could end up winning the deal!

Add picks or other prospects as you will to even it out.

Armia has his year of military service to complete and then he is headed to Rochester in 2013.

It will take alot more than that to get Mcnabb. Front office loves his game and envisions he and Myers as the future of the D-corp.

so you are 12??? Or a woman??? I spent 11 years training and competed in Bodybuilding 6 times over that span, i have a serious clue about what someone looks like at a certain height and weight. Also thanks to studies in school have a clear and complete understanding of body dysmorphic disorders. And i hate to be the one to inform you but at 6' 160lbs, if you turned sideways you would almost disappear and in no way look like a beast compared to gagner and kadri. unless you are wearing some seriously baggy and heavy clothing.

Well he was a professional bodybuilder so, with the steroids it would have to be his.

I recognize the name but do you got a quick summary on Luke Adam?

He's a stampeding elephant according to Pierre.

Where did i say professional in there anywhere???? Also steroids do not effect the size of ones penis. I think what you are referring to is testicular atrophy or the testes shrinking. Essentially the body recognizes through steroid use that it is getting Testosterone from an exogenous source so it slows its own endogenous production thus the testicles shrink. Sorry if i used too many big words there, would be much simpler to take things out of context and talk out of my a$$ like you have been doing.

I was attempting to make a joke not base it on fact. Wow, take it easy over there player. And I guess I should correct you then, since one cannot talk out of their ass.
