You won't have to worry because he will be here, him and his useless 4 mill price tag.
- SABRES 89

if only he wasn't signed to such a poopty deal it wouldn't be such an issue.

i wouldn't mind hanging on to stafford and seeing if he turns himself around just so his value will be a bit higher. its never been lower than it is right now.
- Putzfrau

Wait till his contract year. He will play amazing then!

again, the baseless statement alert is firing away.

you don't even like okposo you just dislike darcy and clearly stafford too, and i get it, i really do, but again, just because a gm turns down one trade for a guy doesn't mean he loves the hell out of that guy, it just means the trade wasn't a comfortable fit for him and he'd like to make another trade. i'm fine with that because it means for all of his failings, darcy is actually thinking over the moves he makes in a thoughtful and potentially productive manner.

i can even see goose for bieska not making too much sense because bieksa is costly and gets hurt a lot and we have young dmen coming up. plus we got girgensons out of the goose trade adn that's pretty good imo!

Where are you going with this? is this another argument? I didn't post it Homer did and he would know. This team has been set back another 2-3 years with Darcy as GM, so what is it with your "baseless staement alert" crap? I posted what Homer posted incase someone didn't see it.

It's crazy because he has some talent, but it takes a smack in the face to get the guy going... lack of dedication is what I get out of him

Stafford's twin if you ask me.

Git-er-done Darcy!
- LetsGoBuffalo75

He said 4 teams and listed 5. Buffalo is only team that doesnt make sense
- theblueandgold

I guess we shouldn't be shocked.

Might this be the set-up for a Regehr to Pittsburgh trade?

No Garth.
What I want the Sabres to do is trade Pomminville/Regehr to LA for Bernier.
That's what I want!

LA Kings scout is here right now.

Regehr getting serious consideration from Pittsburgh, who have two scouts here right now. Replacing Paul Martin is a priority for Shero

I think it's fairly accurate to say Darcy overvalues his own players.

Examples:
Brian Burke's comments
Tim Connolly

I don't like Okposo so it doesn't matter to me but he won't trade Stafford, sad isn't it. No matter how much people like or dislike any of the big 3 they mean more to the Sabres then Stafford and Stafford will still be here. Stafford is a complete stiff.

you have absolutely no information to base those statements on. yes, they're frustrated statements, and i completely get it, but c'mon. i don't get why everyone talks in such doom and gloom generalities around here when clearly they have no information to the contrary.

homer tells us what he knows but darcy not trading a guy for a similar guy doesn't mean any of the stuff you typed above.

Thanks Garth.
Appreciate the feedback.

edit: but what could Pittsburgh possibly have left to give us for Robyn?

Leopold is similar to Martin so I don't get why they would want Regehr.

You really compare Baby Ostrich to those guys ?

Thanks Garth.

- BuffaloHardHat

Prospects, their D is loaded.

but Pitt didnt give up very much to get him. Pommer's price tag will be more not because he is a better player but because we dont have to trade him, Calgary had to trade him and on top of that only had 3 teams they could trade him to.
- Homer

So you're saying Pominville would get a better return that Wayne Gretzky if Gretzky had a NTC and was a UFA?

Anyone else think that we were trying to do a bigger deal with stl for goalies or sfewart or oshie... but couldn't agree so just settled for the rental for picks trade?

Prospects, their D is loaded.
- Mentalorgasm5

not that they would move one but id be fine if we could somehow squeeze one of their prized D prospects out of them.....Pouliot, Despres, or Maatta

I might be the only one with this thought but I want Myers and Miller moved as well.
I want Miller moved to Tampa for Connolly and Conacher
Pommers and Regehr to LA for Bernier and a pick
Myers/Stafford to Edmonton RN Hopkins.


If we are going to blow it up....blow it up

- BuffaloHardHat

Why not just trade Hecht to Pittsburgh for Crosby and Malkin while you're at it?

you don't know what I know, so have a good night.
- SABRES 89

wow, 89, that's pretty ridiculous even from you, c'mon man!

you're everyones favorite ball of festering hate, and i really mean that, we disagree on a lot of stuff but i'm still glad you're in these rooms but you can't make statements like that with nothing to back them up and expect everyone to just be cool with it or agree with you.

Is vanek playing tonight?

Sit miller tonight and have him play the second half od the double nights...
