Bruiniak. I mean, I have (had I guess, I haven't been around as much), quite a following of haters, but it took years to develop and foster those relationships.

Us real fans who follow the league and all the prospects would know a lot more than somebody who just watches the Hawks. Like was said, we have inside info on a legit source in BUffalo.


Wait...now that he's not going to Buffalo, what will said source say? poop. John Scott might be right after all.

It's true, our source in Buffalo may not have all the info we were led to believe.

Eklund was completely dismissing the Rangers chances the whole time, and it was obviously wishful thinking. The Flyer fan in him shown very brightly.

Glad he went to New York. If the kid turns into a star player then the Rangers will still be no threat with their weak prospect pool and zero draft picks.

At least he will get top line minutes with the rags even if he is a 3rd liner

Well its a better team then the Rangers..lol Kid was pissing me off acting like he was the 2nd coming of Gretzky but then I thought in reality its the GM's building all this hype really not him. Is what it is, who knows how good he will be. Lots of pressure on him now but would have been a nice addition for cheap for any team to snag. i want to wish him well but hey , he's a Rag now..

So the Buffalo thread is a barrel of fun.
If you comment and are not a Sabres fan... it get deleted immediately.
My comment about the fact that one of the Sabres fans was boasting about grabbing Vesey and laughing at Leaf fans was deleted.
They're a bunch of fun!

There certainly is a lot of resentment from Sabres fans. But it's completely absurd. I'm not sure how you get angry about a player not signing with you when:

1) the only reason you have his rights in the first place is because he refused to sign with another team, and promised to go to free agency. Had he not done exactly what happened to them (and to a lesser extent for that matter), the Sabres would never have even had the chance to sign him at all. Not that they really did, but you know what I mean.
2) is doing what is within the rules.
3) it's Buffalo.

Not that I think it will really make much of a difference in the end, at all, but they're acting like a jealous little child.

I guess it came down to want Vessey wanted:

- having a good chance to win a championship in his youth while developing behind the best players in the league? In that case he would have gone to either Pittsburgh or Chicago.
- having a potential leadership role on a young and developing team, which he may eventually become a captain/leader/star player on? In that case he would have gone to either Buffalo or Toronto.
- staying close to home? In that case he would have gone to Boston. Maybe the thought of playing on the same team as Marchand turned him off.
- irritating his hometown? In that case he would have gone to Montreal.
- being protected by a host of goons? In that case he would have gone to LA or Anaheim.
- disappearing into near anonymity? In that case he would have gone to any number of western teams, including Nashville or Dallas.
- being obnoxious? In that case he would have gone to the Flyers.
- fame/notoriety? In that case he would go to the NYR, which he did.

Since fame/notoriety is apparently want he wants then I think everyone else is better off.

I don't see how playing third line on the Rags will give him fame... or notoriety... but ok

If you weren't familiar with the Rangers, you could walk around Manhattan for a month and not realize they have a hockey team.

Which is maybe what he wants. You can actually go out and fly under the radar as an everyday person without fans bothering you at every turn.
