Much better than signing Callahan for 7 . he provides some glue even though it is not WNY Callaglue . I don't want to sign all scrubs. No matter who you sign there is a chance of something going wrong . There a lot worse signings that can be made than Moulson. His relationship with Nolan is what sells me . He is not going to be going behind Nolan's back and chirping to the younger players.

JJ just posted in the Hawks blog that they are looking for a C and he mentioned Leino of all people.

Some team will take him in hopes he can return to form..low risk/high reward type of signing. Wouldnt suprise me at all for a contending team to sign him to a 1 year 1 million type of contract

Leino is a joke but Darcy blew the big smoke screen with Richards to sign Leino.

And you know he won't ? You are getting him without losing anything . You can always trade him for a bag of pucks . Someone will take him.

No one said he wouldnt. You said he WILL be, than argued nothing is guaranteed

Well it is not fantasy league . Stuff happens . Welcome to the world of real world professional sports . He won't be an over priced, too long a term free agent acquisition we will be crying about in 2 years.

Nothing is as bad as Leino. Both are good Nolan character guys that can shape this team and move us forward. Two years back in playoffs. If not Murray gets on the short leash.

Spoke 1on1 w #Sabres GM Tim Murray. On offers received 4 2nd overall: "Very few. Willing to trade it" But offer has to "knock my socks off."

More #Sabres Tim Murray on how busy he expects to be with trades of picks/players: "Very busy. I talked to 10 GMs yesterday. 3 or 4 today."

More #Sabres Murray on trading back into 1st round: "We would like to. We're working hard right now to somehow get into at least the teens."

Ehrhoff to WSH, get 13th pick as part of the deal and take Perlini

I think our best bet is anaheim at 10 to move up. They are in a win now time. Unless that pick is involved to land spezza i could see murray swinging a deal to land the number 10 pick. Not sure what would head back considering ehroff "wont go west"

That, and trading some of our current prospects just because he didn't draft them.

If he can get a good deal to take who he wants I'm okay with it. I suspect he'll only be moving a roster player or two and the draft though.

If that happens you can almost say we would get Reinhart? i'm sure the Leafs want Ekblad.

If they're going for #1, pretty safe bet that it's Ekblad they're targeting.

If Florida does that, they deserve all the losing coming their way.
