You'd move Ennis to clear a spot for Vermette? Or did I read that wrong?

Unless u can actually get something of value in a trade for all these guys...
I see no point in bringing in a guy like Vermette to replace Ennis
Heck, I don't even think it's an improvement on Foligno

If we could get something good back for Ennis,
Then I'd entertain bringing in Vermette, Hudler, etc
But as of now,
Our lineup is fairly set
Just waiting on Vesey to decide

IF Ennis is in my bottom six Id rateher have him gone, im kinda over FOligno if his last name was JOnes wed have called for him gone awhile ago.

Id rather have vermette in a bottom six role than the others.... and no im not clearing ennis to get vermette im clearing ennis cause hes not a bottom 6 role guy

Id love Hudler, what he did with the kids in Calgary was rather impressive imo

We need 3 scoring lines. The days of a 3rd line full of checkers are disappearing. O'Reilly is our checking center

Ennis reminds me of playing with 3 of the lil guys in old Ice HOckey for the NES, sure they are fast but you get pushed around all day. I think you can find much better

Sure, but Vermette isn't better. He's 34, only going to get worse

Vermette/HUdler old will be 2/3 cheaper and can kill a penalty


Edit: There are literly 70 players who can put up the same numbers as ennis

For the Bills looks like this even with a fully healthy team

Good chance to win
Bal,NYJ,SF,CLE,Mia(in Dec in the snow)

maybe
@NE(I wouldnt bet against bill at home) @NYJ,@ STL,@Mia
and I doubt we will all our road games like that so take half theres 7 wins

I wouldnt sleep on Jax they are improving alot and Oakland is more likely to be a playoff team than us. Cause i Know those are two people would jump on me about

- hubie



I bet they don't even show up.

I want nothing to do with Vermette. He's about as done as he could be.

His 5 on 5 scoring numbers are brutal, and he doesn't play good defense anymore.

If he was 28 I'd give him the benefit of the doubt of being on a bad team. But he's 34.

He's the kind of player some team will sign for the 4th line wing spot to say they did something this off season....and then get traded for a 6th to a playoff team so that they can tell their fanbase that they did something

It wouldn't surprise me if Edmonton signed him for the 4th line.

Wow
That's really cheap
Must have been no interest for him
Weird though, he's a decent player
Surprised that he couldn't find a better team if he was willing to take that deal

He's going to be the next Stempniak.

Vesey to Chicago seems to be picking up steam quicker than I thought....what I am really surprised about is how long it took for everyone else to realize Bowman is watching them and he obviously already had them on his short list...media is getting slowwwwwww

Boston or Chicago make the most sense...Sabres are bascially hoping chicken wings and Eichel will work wonders
