I have also heard the head case stuff, and I don't want to have a cancer like that on the team. Anyway if he comes to Buffalo he will leave first opportunity.

Never relly got this point, most Russians who have lived here love it here.

What's Foligno done that makes him untradeable?
- SABRES 89

Been born a Foligno. If his name was Bob Jablonski people would have no problem moving him.

Erhoff contract is not a crap deal . It is actually a great deal with the Cap going forward . All the big Money has been paid out already . I have no problem trading him but calling the contract crap is misinformation.
- Maximum Signal

I think it's the fact that the contract runs through him turning 53 is the problem, and not the cap hit.

Just like kaleta his "value" is about 10x higher here than anywhere else

Pretty much, I like Foligno and all but if a team called me and said hey we are going to give you the number 1 pick from last year but you have to include Foligno, I do not hesitate.

Bob Jablonski is untouchable

Thats my alies Bob Jablonski from Billings Montana.

The thing that gets me about Foligno is hes so big but doesnt use his size nearly enough. Its like watching basketball and haveing a 6'10 center who wants to play teh perimiter and shoot 3's.

To get a potential goal scoting stud in Yak id give way more than Foligno.

Foligno and Ehrhoff for Yak which was the original question is a bit much for my liking. However Foligno would fill a need for Edmonton. The only question I have is who fills Foligno's role? Granted he hasn't been that physical force we wanted but he is more physical than Kassian when he was here.

There are probably 6 over that way!

He tries to be a finesse player. If his name wasn't Foligno he would get ridiculed like Myers for being "soft"

I don't want Yak unless the deal is a steal. Yak is slacker and I don't much care for his attitude. We need Reinhart.

YOu can find prob 3-4 Folignos in any given draft
Erhoff is a pp capt and ours sucks we dont need him for liek 3 years so its kinda a waste to haev him right now. If I wanted a guy to miss the net every chance he got id bring back sukerra and save myself a bunch of cash.

Not really true. He is a gym rat. Those comments were taken out of context

Maybe, but not one that shouldn't have sniffed the NHL when he was drafted and busted his butt to get here. I want that Foligno back

I need to see the results before I believe it. Eakins obviously benched him for a reason. He's only got 2 goals this year so far.

Ill take the higher ceiling of Yak, we have seen as high as foligno can go

And Giroux only has 1.

Just sayin...

Agree on McMuscle and Tropp, but they can fill that type of role. I think a lot of it is Foligno is a hometown guy.

If you took Folignos name out and said would you trade a grinder and Ehrhoff for a potential top line player would you do it?
- ImThatGuy

my biggest concern is that it is for Yak.. not who we are giving up.. i want to get that potential top line player and would easily give them up for him..

Alex Tuch late 1st
Shayne Eiserman late 1st
Alexis Pepin 2nd
Matt Schmalz 3rd
Brendan Perlini 3rd
Jack Ramsey 3rd


and if you have to bring in another alumni kid got Danny Audette

- IndianaSabresFan

You're not getting a "true" top line player for those 2. You could potentially get a project top line player like Yak, but not a true top line guy, IMO
