Did they ask Duds if he wanted the job in Buffalo when (yes, that's right) they fire that useless P.O.S. Regier?

Oh, Damn. I forgot. Ted Black said Darcy ain't goin' nowhere because he is workin' the phones.

Who he's calling, I have no idea, but he's workin' 'em all right.

Absolutely right, but if it's not a top 2 pick, by the look of things, are they really giving up that much?
- kingcong39

holy crap! yes! that's like giving up a potential malkin or toews or something, AND ROY, AND Stafford for either stastny or duchene, both of those guys is not worth that package. jesus christ! people either really overvalue other players, or have no idea what draft picks and/or our own players are even worth. just because we don't like them doesn't mean they are or are not worth something! but my good god! reaction is mostly for the draft pick. that would be insane to include that!

I usually don't get on Garth too much for his posts, but to use the term 'huge four pointer' when referring to a game between the Sabres and Canadiens is just too much to silently sit through. These teams both suck and neither will make the playoffs. The game doesn't matter.

Colorado would never do it for just Stafford and Roy.
Something else would need to be included.

The draft class this year is said to be deep only in D, which Buffalo has a ton of, and the best players are the top 2 on every list who are centers. After that, it's not a whole lot.

you'd have to be brian burke crazy to trade away such a valuable draft pick! that's all i'm trying to say! if you're going to try to rationalize the hypothetical scenario that roy and stafford are traded for something in colorado, by all means, i'm just saying we really need to keep our 1st this time around.

Trade question for the group.
Is the following trade giving up too much on Buffalo's end for a guy not everyone is sold on?

Roy, Stafford, 2012 1st
for
Stastny

Way too much for Stastny.

If Dumba is available I hope we take him. Hes something special and as talent goes has more potential to be an NHL force then Galchenyuk....I dont think we are going to be a top 2 pick where Grigoreko will be going.

You pick the best player available and make deals later IMO. Even if we need a center....ulness Grigoreko somhow is to be had.

I'd consider our high 2nd rounder.

Forgive GARTH, Ek, for he has sinned. It has been 2 hours since his last blog.

so .. Luke Adam did not get sent down ?

Darcy "working the phones..."

Derek Roy and Sekera for Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan... straight up!

Brian Burke Crazy has the leafs in 9th....

Darcy Regier has the Sabres in 14th.

Still not giving up on this season! We'll see where we are at 15 pts out of 8th

My point was it would take a trade like that to get a center like one the team badly needs.

Ek's Sabres rumor today is Jason Blake

I would trade Roy, Stafford and a 1st rounder for a guy like Patrick Kane.. but not Stastny..

Lets not forget that Buffalo has their own 2nd rounder and Calgary's 2nd rounder.

I DO NOT want Jeff Carter in Buffalo.. Cancer

Want list: Kane, Getzlaf, Parise, Stastny..... Gagner

Ek's Sabres rumor today is Jason Blake
- sabresfandan

A tiny 38 year old who has only 30 goals in the last 3 years combined

I guess he would fit right in with Boyes and Leino

Why can't the actual NHL be as easy as the NHL 12 video game is for moving contracts...

Vanek - Stastny - Kane
Gerbe - Ganger - Pommer
Ennis - Adam - Kassian
McMuscle - Gaustad - Kaleta

Regehr - Myers
Erhoff - Leopold
Finley - Weber

Traded Roy, Stafford and a 2nd for Kane
Traded Leino, Boyes and a 1st for Stastny
Traded Kotalik, Sekera, and a 3rd for Gagner

Thinking about trading Hecht and Leopold together for another D-man but can't decide who

so .. Luke Adam did not get sent down ?
- gerbe75pts

nope, jr...he's was on his way to montreal from ottawa...

homer's source went a little crazy:
http://www.hockeybuzz.com...hp?thread_id=94700&page=6
--"look for luke adam to be an amerk in two days"

http://www.hockeybuzz.com...hp?thread_id=94713&page=2
--leino living in hate-world...he doesn't want to play center, refuses at times...he doesn't like it in buffalo and his teammates don't like him...sabres consider him a 3rd liner...bad investment and they know it

--blackhawks low-balled darcy with two players for roy, darcy declined...homer said he wouldn't do it either

--boyes is a goner, most likely a 3rd...no, darcy could trade him out west right now for a 3rd, "that's a fact"...look for grags to get moved as well


edit:

http://www.hockeybuzz.com...hp?thread_id=94724&page=8
--on adam...well, it's questionable...might stay if goose and ennis aren't ready...tuesday..."that's the facts jack"

--"darcy has studied [jonas] hiller and hates him"


nothin' personal homer, just killin' time

the great thing on nhl 12, you can force the princesses to hit the other team and get out of their own zone with a little speed
