Aquiring Corey Perry by himself is a little different to aquiring Raffi Torres by himself.

I don't know that I agree with getting players in groups because it take the pressure off them.

I think good players are good players.

I agree with the good players being good players thing. Its like when I say Adam Henrique is good and people say no he's just on a good line.

Difference is with Buffalo these days is there is crazy pressure. We trade for Perry its headline news. Fans waiting at the airport for him. Sabres fans take the Hockeybuzz server down with traffic. God forbid he score in his first game. Stanley Cup here we come! God forbid he not score in the first two, now Dacry is an idiot.

Mighty big of you to assume I didn't read the entire thread. I did. Been here the whole time. Don't get all defensive. Did I hit a nerve? Are you a bigot and a racist? People get wrapped up in where people are from or what color of a persons skin is.

Hockey is about how much money you have available to you. It's a socio-economic divide. People with money play more hockey than those that don't.

If you want to correlate that to a certain color of skin or certain nationality, fine.

Popeye Jones Son probably has access to money and many other opportunities poor kids do not as a result. It's not a leap to think that he would excel at a sport. Be it curling, hockey, slow pitch softball, or basketball.

Don't forget that Popeye played for yeah Toronto raptors, and most likely had his children with him. Perhaps they picked the game up there?

Myers is from Texas, Regehr is from brazil, so who cares?

Its stated that his interest peaked in colorado.

Once again the whole point was about jr usa hockey and its improvement in non traditional markets. What was stated was that even though hockey is not big in tampa tons of kids are playing, dallas not a hot market but kids are playing it.

My brothers kid is 5. They live in Tampa and he just started skating lessons last week. Rink is nice too.

Nail'd it...

guys that have value vs guys that don't have value...

pros and cons...


Vanek is not resigning with Buffalo because it isn't like we are going to give him a raise... it just isn't a winning situation for us right now.. his salary is already maxed out to what it should be..

he will probably pull the Semin or Hossa role and just sign 1 or 2 year deals wroth 7M a piece... Detroit... then Pittsburgh... then a long term deal
- JVince11

Doesn't Vanek have like four kids or something? I heard he is quite the family man. Not so sure he wants to leave, especially now that his nemesis is gone (ruff).

obviously injured I think it was that play when he stretched to try to keep his skate over the blue line
- gerbe75pts

Same thing every year with Vanek, disappears when banged up

So Vanek says the Sabres have to play .724 hockey the rest of the way to make the playoffs. So that means they can lose no more than 8 games the rest of the way. So that means that within 8 or 9 games we can all make our plans for the spring because the Sabres will be eliminated......
