I hope its a few moves...

11 back to back game nights... Looks like most of them are in the 2nd half of the year after New years

Do we know where that ranks among others in the NHL? Typically we have in the most category.
- JVince11

Where are you getting 11? I counted 19. And one year we had 21.

Why is that not a thing anymore?

Was one of my favorite bits on the show, but not doing phrasing anymore became the new phrasing during the Vice season.

Yeah, here's what I think. While it's unlikely any of us has a clue about what's inside Darcy's head, and things like the salary cap, NTCs/NMCs, and the declining economy's impact on future revenues make it nearly impossible to trade anyone of any significance, it's not inconceivable that the Sabres could make a mid-season move.

Vanek, Roy, Miller, Pommer are probably not on the block since they represent the young core of this team and are all locked up long-term. We all know Vanek's contract is insane, but given the length and amount of the others, it seems unlikely to me there's a better deal out there. Remember Larry Quinn is a numbers guy, and 5 mil 6 years from now will be looking pretty good. Roy's deal is an especially favorable one for the club. You might even be able to throw Goose into this category b/c his value to the Sabres is high given his hustle and toughness.

Max, Kotalik, and Connolly are popular choices for a change of venue, but their UFA status would mean they'd need to go to a contender for the receiving team to be willing to assume the risk. That said, what's the likelihood of a contender sending the Sabres something worthy of a blockbuster? That's not even taking into account Max sucking for the last 2 years, Kotalik getting a reputation of being lazy, and (Tin) Connolly being more fragile than the leg lamp in A Christmas Story. This, coming from the guy who actually owns a Connolly jersey.

As far as young talent at forward goes, Stafford, MacArthur, Paille are the only roster players in that category. They're all tradable, but not enough to bring in an impact player. To me, the Sabres would need to include one of Mancari, Gerbe, or Kennedy to get another team interested. Possible, though Gerbe seems like he's got a future here.

Lastly, if they're really trying to fix the recent injury problem at defense, they're not going to trade any defensemen. Even still, it's more likely they'll do what they did last year and bring in a veteran like Nolan Pratt to temporarily fill the gap until Weber and Sekera are healthy again (a few weeks?). I haven't looked to see who like that is available, but they found someone last year and could probably do it again.

We Sabres fans have gotten used to the fact that Darcy rarely makes any moves. In fact, who really does anymore? I'd love to be wrong, but not at the expense of 26 / 9 / 30 / 29. You can have Peters. Twice.

bowell movement?

I just got a text:

the follow up text was a little weird though

"or I will kill you"

thoughts?

I got laughed at for texting that

"Over the past four years Hall is 3rd in Points per 60 minutes in the NHL (minimum 3000 minutes) at 2.49 P/60. You’ll find names like Tavares, Kane, Thornton, Kessel, and Kopitar all after him on that list. The only two ahead of him are Benn and Crosby. That’s it."

I am surprised it took this long for this to be posted

Where are you getting 11? I counted 19. And one year we had 21.
- Zschalberg

Yea I miscounted. I was using the calendar way and completely missed the Sat/Sun ones bescause they wrap. I count 19 now as well.

If we sign Vesey, and make a deal for a decent D man, it would be hard to complain about the roster going forward.
- sbroads24

People will find things to complain about anyway.

- Zschalberg

Yeah I just counted again, the Sabres have 19 Back to Back series. Kelly Pegula told me to watch myself on twitter when I commented at the Sabres that Pegula must have pissed in the schedule makers cereal or something.

Good player... Scores a lot of points... when he actually is healthy.

I still take Benn, Parise, Pacriotty, Landeskog, and Ovie before him though.
