From a WPG point of view, more than 2 2nds.
- dadeadhead

2nd Stafford and Gerbe for rights. Other 2nd for signed.

Thats more than 2 seconds.

Would anyone have interest of Sending 2 2nds to WPG for rights to Bogosian?

Granted it would be one 2013 second for the rights, and a 2014 second if he signs

Granted I have no idea what his value is.
- ImThatGuy

i would do that..

If Hodgson isn't signed and ends up being traded Bolland wouldn't be a bad idea, or Ennis for that matter being traded that is. I read that Hodgsons dad was none too pleased when the Sabres drafted Grigorenko and Girgenson. Maybe he feels like he isn't in the Sabres long term plans...who know.

If one of those guys gets moved I wouldn't mind seeing a true shut down line of Ott Bolland and maybe Foligno. It would be a tough line to play against. Hell even Tropp there instead of Foligno if you want to give Foligno a shot at the top 6

Hodgson will be signed to a long term deal.

You know I love all you guys but boy, we need less jam band fluff in here, and more metal.
- sambarugh

Um, no.

Metal us what you listen to when you're 15.

Jam bands = music
Metal = noise

He appears snobbish if you ask me, overvaluing his one dimensional play. Good thing the cap space is there. Is he worth a 1st this year?
- benny948

If we were offered a first this year for him I would have to think hard about it. It would probably be a later first but depending on when it went down if you could package picks to move up I would do it

- sambarugh

does nothing for me.


instrumentally its fine but that ain't signing.

Sounds like he has a poop gone awry.

The Sabres are "dangling" Miller, Vanek and Stafford apparently.

Sabres meeting with Darnell Nurse again. 2nd or 3rd meeting with them.

2014 UFA's Cream of the Crop

Callahan

That is all the Sabes should be focusing on.

not at 8th overall...

that is bad news written all over it.

Seems dangerous, especially in this weather.

- RynoBull

Define long term? More than 3 years is long term in my eyes and if he gets a 4 year 16 million deal it seems like too much in my eyes. However it could turn out to be a great deal. I just don't see him producing again like he did this year without Vanek and Pommer

Good, he would be a great addition. I would still give him 1 yr of development.

- SabresFaninIndiana

Technically yes. He just said more than that. Not the quality of the more.

- Stripes77

Eventually, he will have guys of their level on his wing again. Think about Horton and Armia in 2 yrs.

If it's cheap, then great. I think the market leverage has to come from other teams, for the very reason you mention. I wouldn't personally be happy giving up much of anything of value, however, so it's likely he either stays put or someone offers more than I think would be prudent for the Sabres.

I could see your second point, though I'm not sure that's really all that hard to come by in the NHL.
- nfph

Who else fits that cup winning veteran center that can handle tough minutes that may be available? Or, are you willing to give that role to the youngsters (Girgensons or Larsson)?

I went back and watched the Beyond Blue & Golds...

man I really like a lot of our players...

I didn't remember that Kaleta did the rookie SEALs training.. that was completely voluntary of him. Hodgson and Foligno were borderline.

Watching the blurps about Ott and Weber too... I don't want to see them guys go.

I found it interesting that Darcy mentioned that Grigo was their #1 target for the draft last season and that he was offered 5th overall and 35th for our 12th and 21st overall. Who was 5th overall last year?

not at 8th overall...

that is bad news written all over it.

Whys that?

- Stripes77

He was on pace for like 65 points this past season. He did benefit from playing with Pommer for half the year and Vanek for the first 11 games.. then Vanek went MIA...


I say that Hodgson needs a bridge deal of like 3.5M for 3 years.

Um, no.

- Pairo11

I disagree

Whys that?
- Rally_Shots

You don't take a dman at 8th overall... and even if we did... I'd take Risto over Nurse.

Best movie ever...although I would consider Die Hard in that argument
