Unless it's an issue of moving him off the roster for another much better defenseman, waiting a year to buy him out would make more sense than that.

True

If they move Gorges they can handle having Bogo work in as the 7th defensemen this year and still sign Shattenkirk

Get your own (frank)ing lighter, Humphrey

Don't bogart that... Keep it moving

all the pominville haters can bite it. I can't sit to see
What he can do with real center men. We had NO CENTERS LAST TIme and now we have all centers. People are hating him because he couldn't carry the team on his back when fish bowl and tin man were useless. The wild sucked. So now, welcome back to pominville, baby!

He'll probably be 3RW next to Larsson on a nice checking line. Bolsters the PK too

Pominville: "Buffalo was definitely a place we were hoping for." Said son is re-wearing #Sabres jersey.



No one hopes to come to Buffalo.

The salary is high but we now have a very high end all situations player.

Then there's still moulson to ponder.....

I'd go third line of

Moulson-Reinhart-Pominville

He's here, not much you can do with him except play him on line 3.

I'd go third line of

slow, slower, and slowest?

I don't normally respond on here, but I have to because your last 5 posts are about buying Gorges out. WHY????? 1 year left at $4mm? They have $20mm in space this year. Who (frank)ing cares? Let him be your #7 and let the contract die out.
- justplaintravis

Because they already re-signed Falk and Fedun as depth D. We don't need to pay $3.9 million for a guy to sit on the bench until the trade deadline and then get a 5th round pick. He only costs $1.3 million to dump him now. Why wouldn't you? It's actually a kindness to the player to do so as well.

Who is your 1RW and 2LW in that scenario?

Bro, your irrationality and irritability are annoying, please go away behind that filing cabinet

The mean thing to do would be to move him to the AHL. You'd save a million in cap space, and then pray that his ego takes a hit and he decides to retire instead.

There's nothing saying they can't send them to the AHL. Yes, they'll need to clear waivers, but they can just as easily play there instead of in Buffalo.

Think he meant Okposo.. just a thought

I've said a few times that if him and Eichel have that much of an issue with each other, this is what I'd do.

Sorry Josh, but Eichel means a lot more to the organization. Have fun in Rochester.

My bad I read your post too fast

Kane Eichel Neal?
Bailey/Baptiste ROR Okposo

Personally I would still keep Reinhart with Kane and Eichel

I have a feeling that part is overblown, but I still think it's the smart move.

I love it that we went from

"Our D is so awful we have AHL guys outplaying starters so we need to rush in our prospects"

To

"We have too many NHL D Men, Rochester will be set and our prospects can grow naturally"

In about a month and we had to give up Ennis, Foligno, 2 3rds, and sign a Russian.
