4 yrs younger than who? Vanek?

Stastny 12/27/85
Vanek 1/19/84
- dadeadhead

My bad two years 27 V 29 apparently I cant math. I thought Stastny was only 26. Still Would do it.

Vanek will be more expensive in the long run. Stastny IMO can be resigned for Vaneks Cap hit now, while Vanek is likely to get closer to 8.

Throw Domi in there somewhere as well

I went through my list and its hard to get it down to 5. Besides probert there are a ton that are deserving (Peters is def NOT one of them)

Stastny .85PPG
Vanek .83PPG

Stastny is 4 years younger. both are signed through next year. Stasnty at a cheaper cap hit.

Plus he plays C and it would give us an oppertunity to move Ennis+ for a proven winger that was rumored in the past.
- ImThatGuy

Stastny's first four years wre much better than his last three
.70ppg in the last 3 seasons (57points for 82games)
That's a joke for 6.6mil

Trading Vanek for a "Pominville-like return" is a much better idea than trading for ANOTHER disappointing player with a bad contract

And I'd much rather have Ennis than Stastny

Depends on the total return. If we can get Stasny plus I would listen to the offer. Both players need a change if you ask me

Probert vs Domi

Those two had some epic battles thats for sure.

If it wasnt broke dont try and fix it and you should never mess with chemistry.IMO they need to move Vanek before next season.Hes slow and lazy and was on the ice for at least 2 of the goals scored against us.I turned the game off before the end of the second period out of frustration.I think that pretty much ended our hopes to make it back into the playoffs.

You'd pay Stastny 7mil a year?!
Wow
I just don't see why anyone would wanna do that

You would pay Vanek 8Mil a year. Thats how salaries are going in the NHL.

I don't think Van get any where near that on the open market .
I'm guessing 6.5 tops

You would Trade Vaenk for 2 Middle tier prospect a late first rounder, and a 2nd. (+ we pay some of his salary) This team would be bad for a long time.

- Stripes77

If I'm "re-building" why am I bringing in a guy who has been very disappointing his last THREE years and has a horrible cap number?
What message does that send?
That we accept more mediocrity... F that

Makes much more sense to get something like we did w Pominville...
Two good NHL-ready prospects, 1st, 2nd

If I'm trading Vanek for an NHL player,
It's gotta be a younger guy at a much better cap #

I don't wanna keep adding bad contracts

No, I wouldn't pay Vanek 8mil a year

The Sabres should of kept Vanek on the bench the rest of the season to get healthy for a trade.Hes part of the core that need s to go.Id rather see young hungry guy with speed competing .I think they need to keep Miller until they know they have someone better.Getting rid of Pommer seems to have calmed him down and I like where his games at.I know strange coming from one of his biggest critics.It was a nice run guys but its over now.

Should have kept him on the bench so the rest of the team gets used to him not being there.

They have a better record this year with him out of the lineup than with him in.

Vanek was a -4. On the ice for all of them, and directly caused 2 of them. This is my whole issue with Vanek and it always has been. He is better off sitting the game out when he is not 100% because he struggles to play banged up. The difference in him now to the first 10 games of the year is so staggering.

He's so slow too. He could have had a break on the right wing in the 3rd but he knew full well he coulndn't beat the guy so he circled back.

Probert vs Domi

You dont see that kind of action any more - not anywhere in the league.
