We have a trade:

Sabres have traded the 31st overall to the NHL Registry for some jerk's kid.

If a GM is willing to hurt his team to any length to undo a mistake of his predecessor them I question his ability to be a professional GM. You may not like the team you are given but it is your job to play the hand you've got and manage all assets to the best of your ability. I'm saying, only trade Vinny in a deal that is best for the team, not just to get rid of him at any cost.

It's best for the team to be rid of that contract, IMO.

Which is more likely, at 34 years of age: Vinny having a bounceback year or showing more slippage?

If they can move him, I hope they do so and don't look back -- the term and risk of getting stuck means you have to, to me.

Someone call Ek and wake his ass up. I think he's forgotten that RUMORS are his $$, not his commentaries on some random NHL bs.

I cant believe you guys let MJL get under your skin so much. 3-4 years later?

Damn, find a hobby or something.

- MBFlyerfan


He doesn't get under my skin at all, but I find it funny that he talks in absolute terms while riding the fence on every single opinion he has.

everyone else got booed, even Tocchet (that traitor)

- Marc D


In the past when he was traded there he said something like he would tie Lemieuxs skates for him or something to that effect.

Flyer up to the point he couldnt handle being the top player and was traded to the pens. I dont count his second stint

After a 3-4 year ban, I have returned.

Boring draft last night to say the least. They normally are though, so really we get too fired up for something big by buying into rumors and are left disappointed when they never happen.

When I left, me and MJL were arguing over Randy Jones. I said resigning him was stupid because he's not an NHL dman. He said he obviously is an NHL dman and a decent 3rd pairing dman.

I'll let history speak for itself.

- archion113


You were banned for 3 years? That seems a bit absurd. And then you came back?

Anyway, hoping today proves more interesting than last night. This is likely the last bit of entertainment we'll get til September.

I am with you, unless he has a career ending off ice injury soon and can retire.

I like the other idea of buying out Upshall too unless they think he is serviceable on the 2nd-4th line

Wish we would have moved up.

It's a shame the Flyers waited so long to draft dmen. By the time our prospects hit their primes, Giroux and the Core will be in their 30's or near their 30's.
