Not to hype things up, bc I honestly don't know the details, but I'm told Washington's trade is "fairly significant." Announcement coming

Well it probably is seeing as how they're taking THIS LONG TO ANNOUNCE IT!!!

THANK YOU. Screw these interviews.

i thought it was funny when they cut off kekaleinan or however its spelled for luongo told him wed get right back to you and then never got back haha

I agree. I also think as much as I like Steve Ott, he's not a good guy to pick for the C. An A, yes. The C, no.
- HonkFortheGoose

If a C goes on anyone it isn't gonna be a guy who might get traded at the deadline next year any way...

I bet Ehrhoff at this moment.

so what the hell is going on with the sabres trades nothing is official yet?

Explain why you think that.

I think if the Sabres want to keep Vanek past next season, they have to slap the "C" on him.

Vanek, Ott, Ehrhoff, Sekera, Ennis, Kaleta

all vets?
- JVince11

I guess. Only Ott is over 30.

#Sabres have trade Drew Stafford to the Capitals for a 2nd Round draft pick and Kuznetsov.
- Flynox

If this is true, Darcy did it again. Kuznetsov has led the Russian World Junior team in scoring the past two years. Grigorenko has a linemate for years to come!

No respect from the refs.

Miller, Staff, Sekera

Holtby or Neuvirth, Johansson & 1st

Explain why you think that.
- soljor09

refs dont respect him. chirps waaay too much.

Ron Rolstoner..... seems legit....
- JVince11

Didn't realize he had 108 followers, Most likely not credible

idk... Maybe a pick from the Pommer trade is involved in the Staff one..

if miller is involved with trade to caps i will float my tv down the river
- metzeric

hahahaha same.

Agree. He said he wants to stay here, his family wants to stay here. Give him the C and 6.5m a year extension and call it a career.

That's just not Stafford. I really think Miller is involved or Ott as well.

Over $6m per for three years, he's anti-rebuild if you ask me.
- BuffaJoe

6? didnt realise it was that high ok im convinced

No respect from the refs.
- dadeadhead

Exactly

Miller, Staff, Sekera

Holtby or Neuvirth, Johansson & 1st
- twistedwrister9

Terrible trade for Buf?

I guess. Only Ott is over 30.
- Pierceme69

Hoff will be 31 in July.

Meh, if they pick an older guy yeah, but I could see them making Hodgson the Captain which would IMO not PO Vanek.

Hodgson - C
Vanek - A
Ehrhoff - A
Ott - A

Kuznetsov-Grigorenko-nichushkin(if we draft him)

The russian connection !

- JVince11

Agreed

idk... I don't think they like Kuznetsov... KHL risk big time
- LetsGoBuffalo75

In the KHL now. I hope this isn't who we got.
