And will play for Buffalo this year.

That contract alone should have gotten Darcy fired, let alone that bulls$$t contract he gave Myers. Darcy runs the show Pegula is clueless.

With Vanek and Miller out the door, gotta worry about the cap floor.
- dadeadhead

I do not know on that

Coho, Enroth, and Weber may get enough raises to get us to the floor

Ristolainen is the safest pick IMO,
He just doesn't have the offensive upside of some of these other guys
But a at as being a solid, gritty, dependable defenseman...
Ristolainen can step in day one and do that for whoever drafts him
- jdfitz77

If they can't move up or Monahan isn't there at 8 (which he won't be), move back with Dallas for 10 and 30, then move 10 with Columbus for 14 and 19.

going from 2 ECF's and a Presidents trophy to no playoffs for the next 2 seasons should have gotten him fired

The fact that he got paid well and showed up out of shape, leaves a nasty smell in the room though. The kind of smell that can't be fixed by air spray.

Show up focused and determined this year, or bye bye IMO

I would give him one last chance, the key word is one.
- navinrjohnson

I agree 100%. I said during the year that If that was true, set an offseason regiment that involved Gary Roberts or something of that nature, if he refused or slacked off, get rid of him

I do not know on that

Coho, Enroth, and Weber may get enough raises to get us to the floor
- navinrjohnson

CoHo will get a bridge deal at 3.5 or long term at 5
Enroth 3 for 9
Weber has no leaverage really and will take a 2yr 1.6-1.8 per.

If they can't move up or Monahan isn't there at 8 (which he won't be), move back with Dallas for 10 and 30, then move 10 with Columbus for 14 and 19.

I agree with the logic


I would take Bo or Shinkaruk over Wennberg at 14 if either are there

They won't be.

No way Bo and Shinkaruk get past Phoenix and Winnipeg at 12 and 13.

That is what chaps my ass

He got paid well and cared about as much for the city and fans as staff, roy and fragile tim once they got paid. That is the poop that pisses me off being a sabre fan

They won't be.

Don't know if 10 gets you 14 and 19, have to hope someone attractive falls. If that happened I would love Pulock or Morrissey somewhere in there

Bet Darcy doesn't use his buy out option on anyone.
- SABRES 89

The only real candidate is Leino
And I wonder if we even can use it on him since he finished the season injured?
The only other guys I could maybe see are Stafford, Ehrhoff & Myers, but we should be able to trade all those guys if we wanted...
And we can always use both next offseason if we want

I personally think a lot of that entitled attitude most of the vets had was on Ruff and Regeir. Still no excuse

Don't think Domi goes that high and would switch him with Shinkaruk. Also would be a nice story since the old man played there.

3.25 for 4 years for CoHo
- gibby111

2 yr bridge deal at 3.5 per al la Duchene or back up the brinks truck 8 years 5 mil per. IMO there is no in between. Remember, daddy does the talking.

Is the press conf. tomorrow or next Thursday with DR and Devine?

That same site had Monahan going 10th last week. I wouldn't put much stock into what you read on one website.

If they can't move up or Monahan isn't there at 8 (which he won't be), move back with Dallas for 10 and 30, then move 10 with Columbus for 14 and 19.

Yuck, no offense...

Wennberg seems to be an average NHLer to me
He just doesn't really impress

I don't hate Lazar, but I'm not excited about him either

Mantha could be a steal... I've seen him going in the mid20s in most mocks, and I just don't get it... He's not gonna play right away, but this kid can flat out score goals... I'd be ok if we took him 16

Rychel at 30 would be fantastic, but I've seen him go as high as 20... So if we want him, it'd def be a gamble to wait that long...
I don't think he has a very high ceiling though... 3rd line center, possible 2nd line winger... But I'd never be upset about drafting a guy that plays as hard as he does... Can never have too many of those type guys as far as I'm concerned

I do get your thinking though
If we can trade up for Barkov, then def do it, the kid is gonna be special
but I still want us to get as many 1sts in this draft as possible
It's not gonna be as good as '03,
But there's a lot of talent that's gonna go in the top25
I see no reason we shouldn't be able to get 4 of them

Look I'm from NJ..........

Thanks a lot.

Rychel will be a better player than Mantha. Just an IMO.

Quantity over quality this year.

Go all out for the top pick next year.
