Cole's in Pittsburgh?
- Pierceme69

40 Minute Flight from Pitt. I have seen them out after a game in Tampa!

Maybe game shape wise. I saw his first and only game and he was the best player on the team. In spite of his injury, he was pretty darn good in the one recent game I saw. He will be on this team for sure next year if not sooner. Be careful, cowmad is lurking.

I edited it. I meant game shape/knee strength wise.

Off-Season Shopping List:

David Clarkson
Ryan O'Bryne

Trade Miller and Stafford...

what time did they get back in town?
- homiedclown

Its a 45 minute flight to Buffalo so they probably landed at 11:30-12ish. Bars are open here until 4 I've run into players out after road games before

so

we did not move staff or hecht, I really expected them to get moved

for the pommer deal, nice return
looks like miller will be giving darcy his list of teams in a few months

aside from hecht, all of the ufa's got moved at the deadline, assuming nobody was interested in pardy

I give Darcy a B+ on the past few days

team is making the moves for a rebuild
move 2/3 from staff, vanek and miller this off season and we will finally turn the corner that should have been turned when briere and drury walked

if darcy gets canned this summer, the new gm will be set up for success

B+ is fair

Im guesisng nobody really wanted Hecht.

I'm still tryin to get to the bottom of the Stafford saga.

They were out drinking after flying home from a road game? Cancers!

There was an interview of Larrson with Houston. They asked him what he liked, he said the hot weather.... Welcome to Buffalo.

Bishop being traded to Tampa hurt the goalie market I think. There are 2 big name goals going to be on the market and 1 good named goalie. Luongo and Miller plus Mike Smith unless he resigns. Not to mention Backstrom from Minnesota.

I'd look for Washington, Philly, Islanders and Devils to be pushing hard for a goalie, not to mention Edmonton.

If they can work out a Miller for top 10 pick do it depending on if you could get a gap goalie like Smith to take a 2-3 year deal contract not more than 4.5 mil per season.

Jimmy Howard, Nabakov, Tim Thomas, and Theodore could be seen as reliable?

I really cant believe that Erat is the big deal out of Washington. Something must have fell apart last minute

Always. The night I am referring to they got out around 2am.

devils, islanders, wild, yotes, panthers, flames, flyers, caps

there is 8 teams right there

that is not taking into account the teams that may kick the tire on miller (red wings)

safe to say blue jackets and jets would be on millers list so there will be options this summer

Jimmy Howard, Nabakov, Tim Thomas, and Theodore could be seen as reliable?
- JVince11

Howard will stay in Detroit i think. Nabakov is 40 Tim Thomas is a nut case Theodore could be a possible target but he is getting up there in age as well

damn bars open at 4 in buffalo on a tues?


wasn't like that 20 years ago
H5

I think that between Sulzer and Pardy we should keep one of them.. and since Sulzer is coming off of an ACL injury.. I think I like Pardy if his cost was cut in half.. they both should be no more costly than 1M or so...

I meant with the trading up, and yea I think Kea could be an awesome #3/4 C.
- LetsGoBuffalo75

Prob a 4th liner...
Really isn't much of a scorer
He'll need a couple years in Rochester

Nabby is 37.. Thomas is 38..

- Stripes77

Anything I have seen that makes sense is that there was a three team deal with multiple players being moved. Something had to have fallen apart for this trade to have been considered "fairly significant" at one point.

Not down on Allen!! Bar "close" at 4 stay "open" until 6

i doubt thomas comes back.

Old bastards... oh crap. Never mind. They are young!

- jdfitz77

He started scoring this year when he was traded. He is getting more minutes thus finding the back of the net more. He will need time in Rochester to improve his skating, but he is a 3rd or 4th line center based on the team he is on. He is playing the 2nd line now in juniors

I edited it. I meant game shape/knee strength wise.
- madcow251

Won't be long. His skating was really good but not quite yet his usual "beast mode" like his first game.

Do the guys on Wgr whine this much evey day ?
