I guess Thornton told Scott last game that he isnt allowed to fight for another week or two and Scott tapped him on the shoulder and said "ok little buddy"

it would be a waste to go get iginla. As you said we more than that and we would lose pieces for the future.. we need to remove ruff from his duties and clean house to start over young. Move players you feel you wont resign regardless of their name (miller, vanek, pommer, leopold, kaleta, enroth, hodgson) i don't care.

Iggy is on the last year of a deal...so why not see what is left in the tank and rid yourself of some dead weight, like Stafford, Sekera and Enroth?

Either way you free up 7 million in cap space for next year on a gamble that could work out.

Me, I don't. Thats why I dont get this talk. Evander Kane I could see because he is young, but why grab Iginla? Were going to suck either way.

I can care less what Mel Kiper says, get a QB at 8 and quit screwing around.

Evander Kane i can get on board with.. But i too do not understand the Iggy talk... If we can trade stafford and leo for him, whatever that is fine.. but we can't give up anything that might be somethign

Didn't Rothlisberger go 8th that year? I sure hope they don't conplete the Syracuse connection with the 8th pick

It's a gamble that potentially frees up 7 million in cap space for next year.

Look at it this way, would you prefer getting Iginla or keeping Stafford, Sekera and Enroth for 2 more years beyond this year?

And even if Iginla is done after this year, you now have his 7 million cap to play with to find a better solution.

I could also care less what Kipper says but I want no part of a QB at 8. Not any worth it, IMO.

do you think iginla thinks Buffalo is an Iginla away from winning the cup enough to waive his NMC?

Not all drafts are equal with positions

this draft great at DL/OL

Crap at QB RB

Next year will have a bunch of good QB's

Everything I hear is the best qb this year would be the 4th last year

very weak QB class...I'm sure one or two will shine at some point, but I dont wanna guess at which ones those will be and pass on a more sure thing at 8.
