I am more interested as to why you guys traded Enroth? I thought he was the right age for a rebuilding team and your goalie of the future. Is there a younger goalie in the pipeline that will eventually be your #1?
- TonkaPhaneuf


Murray likes bigger goalies and Enroth is 2nd smallest. He still could resign here if he wanted to this summer. And to get something for a player so he does not walk for nothing.

We are at the point in the rebuild that if he does not see a player here and is UFA, he should be moved, if you can get something. If you can move up by piling up picks to get there, any spots earlier is better. So keep them moving to keep better picks coming. We have too many picks now, so he basically has to do that, at some point.

Fans like him and he has been our best player. UFA after this year. Also, Murray made it known he wants a large goalie.

According to Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News, the Sabres will reportedly pursue Luke Richardson for their head coaching job.

Ted Nolan hasn't been fired yet, but it's expected that he will be and the current head coach of the Binghamton Senators could be his replacement. Nolan probably won't be let go until after the 2014-15 campaign.

was hoping for big time head coach but this might work

There are more valuable wingers (price to get him, cap hit, contract length) that are out there that could be had.

I like Kessel he produces but I would pass

- Stripes77



They put their 2016 1st in play for a winger IMO.


Again IMO Murray is looking to make the playoffs and go on a run sooner rather than later.

Didn't one of the insiders post something a couple of weeks ago about Nolan being a mess? I don't remember the particulars. I don't think anyone would be surprised if he was let go after this year (whether he deserved it or not).

As opposed to what it is going to look like in 2-3 years.

Kane and Toews just got 10MM per. Scoring wingers are going to get paid above Kessel soon.

Cap Will go up. Again I'd look into it. Not saying its a must do.

- ImThatGuy



There's strong talk of it going down.

I'd pass. Cheaper more viable options will become available this summer.

Id look into it. Kessel has scored 30 goals 4 straight years.
- ImThatGuy


I think you ask what the price is and see what they would want from your team, but chances are they will want Girgensons or one of the two D men we dont want to move.

Only Buffalo would make a trade for an oft injured, locker room cancer with a sense of entitlement. Amazing.

He is on the hook for 6 more seasons and we do have some cap room to make that work. I would consider it, but it would depend on the package required.

We needed a guy back there that can't stop the puck. Lindback does that better than anyone not named Andre Racicot.

That is what they paid to the Bruins years ago, so I would want to pay less. (although the first rounder was Seguin in the one)
