IMO, if we could get Parise, I wouldn't have any problem trading Vanek away!!
It's time for change.
- Sabresfan88

Totally agree! Parise doesn't fit?? Literally dump anyone for him.

I bet Crosby pulls a stunt like that and has a great year in his contract year upcoming...
- Gunner Staal

I think he could coast and still get 80 points.....

So you'd trade one overpaid underperforming centre for another?
- Chipd

hey hey hey.. i didn't say this is what I wanted... I just said this is what I could see.

I think with Stasnty as the 1C this team would look more appealing to a winger like Parise to come play here.... just my opinion.

Crosby could get 80 points against Buffalo alone every year... Pitt eats us alive EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!

Malkin too, him and Sid have almost identical stat lines against Buffalo. Of course the Gold Medal goal comes into play for Sid.

Especially now with Gaustad gone!

I'll give Gaustad his due in that regard. Even Malkin said he did not care for lining up against Gaustad.

With a lot of luck, he will feel the same way when lining up against Girgensons.

Buffalo needs a guy like him again.... Just not at a ridiculous price.

Definitely a chance of that.

didn't we beat Pitt with Lalime in goal a few times?

he would be a great 4th line addition for 1.6 mil a year fofr 2 years

If Roy is kept, does anyone see him playing on the wing like back in the Drury/Briere days?

Last year Enroth beat them once and got crushed his second game against them.
Well, Miller and Enroth "played" that second game.

"A closer look at the names under the photo would make any hockey coach drool.

There’s the baby-faced Ryan Duncan, the 2007 Hobey Baker Award winner, stretched out in the front row. Huddled around the USA Hockey championship banner to the right is Matt Smaby, the hulking defenseman who is in his third year with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Over his shoulder is Buffalo Sabres standout forward Drew Stafford. Jack Johnson, most recently of the silver-medal winning U.S. Olympic Team, crouches nearby, smiling from ear to ear.


The best of friends at Shattuck-St. Mary’s, Jack Johnson, left, and Sidney Crosby have crossed paths on NHL and Olympic ice.
Sandwiched in the tangled web of smiles and index fingers thrust in the air are Brian Salcido and Matt Ford, who are currently playing in the American Hockey League.

And right in the middle of it all is a bright-eyed Sidney Crosby, who won a USA Hockey National Championship long before he captured a World Junior Championship title, captained the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Stanley Cup or raised his hero status to new heights by scoring the golden goal for Canada in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games."
- rcostel77

Don't mean to be a stickler but Smaby is with Anaheim playing in the AHL. And Salcido is over in Europe somewhere. Just me being a hockey snob

I would be fine with that... As long as Lindy doesn't stick him on a line with Vanek and Pommer.

i really don't know much about the two guys we got in the 1st round.... is there any chance either would make an impact next season?

Grigorenko was at one time the #2 ranked player behind Yakuptov. A lot of people think he is NHL ready..

You wonder why both these teams suck?

Who is dumber, the Isles for making the offer of the Blue Jackets for turning it down

He also now seems to have a chip on his shoulder because of how far he fell. I would look for him to have a decent impact during training camp. It'll be interesting to see what they do with him.

Depending on the CBA though, he may end up going back to Junior this year. We'll have to wait and see how that goes though.

Wow. That's just crazy! Do they Isles not realize that part of the reason they're in the position they are is because their prospect pool is weak? This would not have helped their cause.
