Darcy could reinvent his legacy and really create something special these next couple months with the possibilities he has.......or he can continue his legacy of failure and sit on these solid trading assets.

I dont think he could create a legacy even if he had a room full of richards

this year is somewhere in between the year anaheim had last year and the year washington had.

meaning, we can either continue to suck or get better depending on how players bounce back and how personal changes.

if myers and pominville bounce back we could have something. vanek needs to not shoulder the load so much because he's hurt constantly.

it's tough because pominville, stafford, and ennis would all be players i would want to trade but even though ennis worries me, he would be the one i would keep the fastest from those 3 because pommer needs to go due to bad leadership and inconsistency of late (he should be leading!) and stafford just needs to be gone because he's driftwood.

You people can't be serious........ You really can't believe that Darcy will make any trades of significance can you? I do appreciate all the dreams you are having but cmon.... This is the Buffalo Sabres and Darcy Regier we are talking about......

So that must mean he sucks.



Give me a break. Everybody whines that this team is too f$@king soft, and we go out and get a guy who hits like there's no tomorrow, wins tons of draws, has a great attitude, chips in offensively and kills penalties and you scoff at that?!?

- Powerslave



I never complained this team was "soft". I wish buffalo wouldve kept roy. this team would be a lot better and more dangerous- especially on the PP.


youre right, we trade a talented skilled hockey player for a guy with more grit and now we are bottom feeders of the nhl. we need more! we need more!

Darcy is typically decent at making medium to small name trades. Big name trades though? I honestly can't name a big name trade he's made in the past 7 years. An no Roy was not a big name.

thanks for your input, because as we all know you are the epitome of hockey knowledge.

the article almost has nothing to do with hockey on the ice. perhaps you should give it a read

- robz228

Nah I never said I knew everything about hockey, far far from it actually.
The goofballs I named on wgr550 have very little hockey knowledge or insight.
Sorry but you may have misunderstand "my take" . Cheers

WHo is the biggest hes moved.

Drury wanted out if im not mistaken Briere was a toss in

Brad BOyes? I mean he wasnt a scrub back then

All I know is if I had 3 draft picks there is nobody else id rather have hed somehow finagle 3 7th round picks for a back end 1st

Exactly! Darcy is too much of a wussy to ever consider trading a big name hockey player!

i mean the alternative is taking the emo equivalent of "why don't we all just kill ourselves because life is hard!" so yes, we are hoping for good things in the future of the sabres because we like the sabres.

I like the Sabres too but They have developed a losers mentality in the last 5 years and show no signs of shaking that....

Yeah, problem is, Ruff was a 1 goalie kinda guy. Maybe Rolo is a swinger, but I doubt it. He road Leggio and put him away wet way too ofter in the AHL.
