I don't know that you can say the're "successful" trades yet. Especially since one of them just happened today.

poni played well last year as a devil and was liked by teammates, he plays the style deboar likes, didnt give up much to get him and zubrus is out with wrist surgery

lou is doing what he feels will help the team win


the loki trade (for 5th) is a low risk high reward trade, he has the skill to be an NHL player now he just has to prove it

Saturday 5pm-?????

Hmmmm....I'm gonna have my goddaughter this weekend. Getting her out of the house for a bit. Was thinking about maybe bringing her for some wings.

he did not put his foot down though

he has worked hard to clean his image, I think accident
If it were a Flyer, I might think differently

I'm actually surprised cut by skate injuries don't happen more often.

Oh, I know. Both trades make sense. But neither of them are the type of moves that would have helped the Sabres anyway, so I don't know why people are female doging.

Come early then. Like 5-6 early.

This is awesome.. I love Sabres hockey.

My favorite nights of Sabre's hockey is the off nights this season as well

Gaustad's was really weird because it was his own skate. And to think he had his skates sharpened less than usual that day.

Our medical staff then let him walk around on an almost completely severed tendon for a few days.

That was what I was thinking.

Her eating habits freak me out though because she's diabetic. I'm always afraid she's gonna pass out or something.

My point is that both trades were for mid and late round picks but what they received back was a roster player and a borderline roster player with good potential even with the poopty attitude...

We couldnt give our players or picks away for a zamboni wheel tire pressure gauge

I usually walk in around 4:30 but thats to clean up the mess that the bar is usually in every other week.

I know, the sky is falling. Everyone panic and start yelling that nothing is being done.

I'm just as frustrated as everyone else about the way this team looks, but at the same time, I'm not about to just give everyone away for nothing.

I don't want to be the Toronto Maple Leafs.

No but in this soft market they successfully completed 2 trades.
- dadeadhead

Yep, and this soft team made 0

I don't think any of them go out there with the intention of trying to slice one of the opposing players to injure them.
- HonkFortheGoose

True,
I didn't see the hit so i was just looking for clarification

If it is the Achilles, that might be a tough injury for him to get back to 100%

They haven't made the playoffs since before the 04-05 lockout. I don't want to be them.


That's why there's 3 guys I wouldn't give up from our prospect pool. Girgensons, Pysyk, and McNabb. Anyone else is fair game IMO

Ennis and a bottle of shampoo for Colton Orr. Let's just keep winning fights instead of games

I'm frustrated too,
But don't we have enough borderline roster players?
I'm not saying we need Perry (although it'd be nice),
But we at least need some solid guys that can help

I don't think either of those guys are anything to write home about

I would hate to miss the playoffs 7 straight seasons. The funny thing is over the last 10 seasons they have only made the playoffs 1 less year than we have.

No but guys who have been early draft picks like Tangradi, and Ellerby have been traded for peanuts when we have guys like Mccormick and Ellis (I know not anymore) on the roster. I would like to see if a change of scenery would help these guys, apparently Ellerby has been pretty good so far

I really don't know why everyone is so focused on the guys we have playing on the 4th line.

NEWSFLASH!!!! They are not the problem!


The defense not being able to get the play out of our end, is a problem.

The relative lack of secondary scoring, is a problem.

Cody McCormick playing on our 4th line, is not a problem. It's the reality of the NHL. Every team has a guy or two that plays the same role that Cody does.

Not to mention that just because a guy was drafted in the 1st round, does not guarantee he is good. It means he used to be good. He could be an absolute trainwreck right now.

The Market Place!
