I went into work with a game plan on things I needed to get done today.

None of it happened. I ended up doing about 20 other things instead.

not so fast

He's played RW in the past (not in excess), and has said he's liked it.

I chalked that up to Lindy's mad scientist line changing and a vet winger saying the right things.

Puts up 2 points in his debut, doesnt do anything the rest of the season.

Classic trade deadline player performance.

steve bernier 2013?

Brassard is in NY already? And he already scored??

Any ideas on some players like that?
- LetsGoBuffalo75

for vanek trade? I think guys like pouliot or colin wilson are more than capable of adding something to the team

Yup. I thought it was a bit odd.

young d prospect, fast LW prospect and a first

Our division is easily the toughest out of all four.

Which Pouliot...? Because Benoit Pouliot was pretty much traded for a 5th rounder... I do really like Wilson, however. If they added in Ryan Ellis and a pick I'd accept that deal.

if you can get to a bar in Buffalo after playing a game in Pittsburgh, you can catch a plane for a 60 minute flight

I hate to do it but I thought this was a good week for the Sabres and Darcy. You hate to lose a player like Pominville but at the end of the day - he is talented but was not the answer for the leader of the Sabres. We got some great value for the player and I think he will do great as a member of the Wild. I will be pulling for him. I think he was in a really bad spot in Buffalo - he is not a capitan. He was consistent as hell but not a leader. I think he will trive without the pressure of a team on his shoulders. Trading the other 3 on defense yielded some good return too. Leopold can stuff it - he complains about our locker room. I would consider him a veteran on the team - shouldn't he be vocal as a leader in the locker room? He loses credibility with those comments.

Onto the future and I don't think it is as dark as it appears. I think you retool next year and draft well. If Vanek and Miller aren't happy - get value from them and move on. Vanek should be happy Buffalo overpaid his services for the past 6 years and goalies are a dime a dozen in this league. I would prefer to build off those two but they are part of the problem too - let's not forget.

You take what you have and strategically add. You slap the C on Ott and tell him this is your team and give him an extension. Hodgson is a solid young player - he leads all 2 year players in points. He was just a rookie last year. You keep Vanek on his wing and maybe a Leino or Ott on the other wing. Ennis is talented - Foligno is really just a rookie. Our defense is not terrible and you have a solid farm team.

I will disagree. You had to piss off your best 2 players by the pommer move and both are going into last year of deals. Good goalies and 40 goal scorers dont go on trees. So with the picks you get you would be lucky to repace Vanek. The guy running the organization Regier seems to have no plan how to build a team. Look up the middle. One way center bad at draws Hodson Ennis and Grigerenko. Nothing 2 way or any grit. Little Grit on the D. Myers is a 6 foot 8 soupy who cant hit as hard as soupy. Ehroff ok not worth what we paid. Sekera no grit. Weber has some grit not real skilled. Last 2 kids i guess. Wing hecht gerbe Flynn Scott and after this year no Vanek who will in my opinion be traded in offseason leaves Stafford as our best scoring wing. In goal if they trade Miller good luck. If this is a good week. Terry and Ralph should talk.

It's not the amount of time it takes to get there, but all the red tape they always seem to claim prevents it from happening most of the time.

Well... I'm off for the day, folks. Off to watch the NYR game and catch some Zs afterward... It's been one hell of a day...
