You have to look at this years D free agent additions as basically a bandaid while we rebuild and the cupboard is reloaded. The top 3 kids we have all are starters (Risto, Pysk, & McCabe). A guy like Martin allows the team time to keep growing the youngsters correctly. Remember also people last year discounted Strallmans addition with Hedman and they became a lockdown pair. Not impossible we sign someone for Risto that similar happens, maybe not as fast of growth considering hes played a year but similar.

I hope McCabe is ready, but if not being in the AHL for part of the year would be fine by me. I want to see a full year with Bogo. I feel like Sabre fans are a little down on him, but I think he's good and nasty.

Sabres need a top line RWer, a top 4 LHD, and maybe a backup goalie

Get me:

Jason Pomminville trade Foligno and next years first
Johnny Oduya 4 years 20 million

Yay or nay on Pommer?

I love Bogo reminds me of McKee. I undestand given where he was drafted people have a little higher expectations but he hits and is solid in his own end with decent breakout passes. Works for me.

Kind of stinks that this year Leddy and Boychuk wern't available because they would be great additions and I'm not sure of any young dman like that available currently on the trade end of things.

I would kill to have Pommer back but I think he is pretty much a cornerstone for Wild right now. They want to move Vanek and Koivu like the plague right now!!!

Love Pom. But I think Minn sees him as a vital cog at a reasonable price. They have a very solid team just unfortunate for them that their conference is so tough.
I loved watching those western conf playoff games the past few years; way more fun than the east.

Any news on Hodgson?

He stinks?

He's gonna get paid, I've seen reports of him asking for $6 million, 4 year deal $5 million per...

What did I miss

Any news on Hodgson?

EK seems to think Toronto has him as target #1 with Montreal not far behind because they were trying to trade for him out of Couver when we got him...

Nice deep stuff.

Yea, that came across my phone.

Still interest in Yandle

any idea what the asking rate is?

I would have to think the 2016 first is being discussed...not sure I like that for a player with 1 year left unless he would sign an extension

Yea, that came across my phone.

Dougie signed 5 years at 5.75M in Calgary.

Oduya wants 6M per year.

We are going to buyout Reinhart if he gets 49 pts or less next year.

That about sums it up.

I don't get why NYR would be selling vital pieces. They are still in a good window for deep playoff hockey. Only reason would be just simply that he won't resign with them because they have plenty of cap space and 38 year old Boyle will retire. I wouldn't believe that McDonough, Klein, Girardi, AND Staal would all be past him for pairings but I could be wrong. Those 4 are all signed for at least the next 3 years as well.

Oduya is rumored to be getting offers of $6m per, Pommer - sure - depending on cost to acquire

And Bill Cosby wants his child molestation and rape details to remain "not public because he is simply a very internal person" lol

Still interest in Yandle

It would almost guarantee us losing Pysyk or McCabe and a mid round draft pick or our 1st so I say NOPE.

He should, he's got enough of mine over the years.

No, not as of yet but there is still interest.

Oduya isn't worth 6 mill a year and the Wild can keep Pommer, we don't need him.
