You don't want him in your lineup for 50 games.
- Gunner Staal

Looks like he's been used around 35-45 games a year.

Yes we do, he should play all 82 games. We need all the "GOON" we can get.

in my opinion now that we have scott there is no need for McCormick
- metzeric

McCormick can actually play hockey

If Kaleta would fight, I would not dislike him. You can't play the way he does and not fight, complete player if he fought just like Ott.
- SABRES 89

well, as i stated before, Kaleta doesn't have the best hands in the world. look at it from his point of view. if the team wants him, is he going to turn down the opportunity to re-sign? i'm pretty damn sure he's not gonna say "well, i can't fight worth a damn because my hands would implode while slap-boxing with Roysie...no, i'll decline your offer and just retire."

So (frank)ing happy with this signing, we are going to the cup!

Garth said, would you move Pommer for Ryan....no but I would Ennis.
- SABRES 89

Ive been anti-moving Ennis for a while, but Id be more against moving Pominville. I know what he "represents" to people, but hes a solid all around player, plays all situations and really isnt all that bad of a leader. I think moving him for Ryan, while you get size and more scoring, it just looks to me like a lateral move and not a "get better" move

My offer for Ryan would be Roy, Adam, Pysyk/Armia and 2013 1st

i'd venture to guess we had no chance of landing Parros or Prust

Roy, Adam + for Ryan or Ennis and Adam for Ryan

Look at Scotts stats

i'd venture to guess we had no chance of landing Parros or Prust
- EricNearBuffalo

If you follow (or believe) RevOlDarcy on Twitter, he says Scott was the backup option after they lost out on Prust

- metzeric

He had 2, possibly 3 concussions last year. He had 20 points in almost a full season the year before. I am willing to cut him some slack. He's a good middle weight fighter and can actually skate and hit. What more do you want from a 4th liner?

- Gunner Staal

THIS.

Sure, he's 24-0 or whatever in his fights, but there's a reason he hasn't played more than 51 games in any single year in the NHL

New owner, new vision, new blah, blah , blah.......... Darcy needs to make a splash and Ryan could be that.

I say keep Roy till the trade deadline, players always play better in contract years. His value should increase.

John Scott's deal with BUF is one year at $600K.

I do like this signing.
We could use some big body toughness on this team.
He can fight as well, bring it on Lucic!!

Looked at wrong year oops

I really thought that the Sabres would make a move for Olli this time.

Garth said, would you move Pommer for Ryan?
- SABRES 89

In a heartbeat

I really thought that the Sabres would make a move for Olli this time.
- SABRES 89

After drafting 2 centers, do you think they would sign one in free agency?

They still can...

ugh, he does fight and when he does he isnt a pansy who just holds on, he chucks em...hell he even took on Lucic...gotta disagree with you on this one

Fierce negotiations!!

- Sabresfan88

Lucic won't fight him, not because he's afraid but because he's been told not to fight guys like Scott who are strictly fighters
