Can't wait to see the post-trade interview for Roy... over/under on him taking the high road (ie not doing what Boyes did)?
- Da_Cashman

Brad Boyes, "I stunk because my coach was mean!"

No, your coach was mean because you stunk!

Nobody wanted Roy, especially Buffalo.....we did just fine.
- Homer

Homer, so supposedly we are making pitches for Nash and or Ryan, hearing anything when the next move may come?

I dont care about your stance on Roy. Im like 1 of 2 people in here that was pro-Roy. And I wasnt even talking to you in the first place. You butted in when I was replying to Homer who claimed Vanek has been our most productive scorer and "has been for a while". You took the discussion in a completely different direction than what was being discussed.
- theblueandgold

he has been...the guy produces, like him or not.

he's too good to play on the fourth line...God I hope Lindy doesnt play him on the 4th line.
- Homer

I agree\, but seeing that Lindy doesnt have traditional lines, id think Gerbe/Ott/Kaleta would get decent ice time

or they could always have him center Leino and Pominville or wing with Vanek and CoHo

[Parise' Agent]: Zach would like the following:

1. Brinks Truck Full of Money
2. 6.5 Million Green M&M's
3. Mexican Food, on call, 24/7, delivered by a Dwarf
4. The Best Parking Space at the Arena


- DixonWard[Team #1]: Done!
[Team #2]: Done!
[Team #3]: Done!

[Parise' Agent]: Zach will have to get back to you.

WTF?

I know that Ryan is "on the burner" so take that however you want...I have heard nothing serious about Nash.

Gerbe-Ott-Kaleta makes a lot of sense to me

My only issue with that is I'd like to see Ott getting 14-15 mins a game and Kaleta getting 8 or 9

- Homer

Darcy also said they have offers out to free agents too, even if Ryan was aquired it seems Darcy would still like to add another center.

AWESOME!!!



to the left and the right of his parking space Zach demands machine gun nests....filled w M60s....now these babies tend to heat up so fire in 3 second bursts

If Nash's options are Columbus or Buffalo, I think he'd come to Buffalo.

To me, Columbus needs players, not just prospects and picks.

Vanek or Pominville would have to be the main piece to our deal.

Add Leopold, Pysyk or Adam, and a second?

He gets injured so often that his average time will be around there!

I think so too Passion Vanek + for Nash.

semin 28 years old
469 games played
197 goals
211 helpers

+ 65

parise seen to be 28 years old
502 games played
194 goals
216 helpers
410 points
+57

I am ok if they go after semin for 5 mil per
- homiedclown

I would take Semin as well....um ,,I mean.. forget it.

Love the Ott acquisition

- sabresfandan

I didnt hear his interview...that's good. I think they want a vet center...somebody like Arnott would fit in well as teh 3rd line center IMO. Plus we only aquire guys who's names end in ott anyway

That isn't his option though. There are probably 10 teams ahead of us that he would rather play for who will still throw tons of money at him.

kaleta is not a 3rd liner IMO

keep him on the 4th line and pk

I'd be very happy with Arnott.

- CaptainRivet

Ohh Myyyy!!
I do as well.
In addition, I am even more happier that Roy is history.

- sambarugh

No, there are probably ten teams interested. What will separate those teams is the deal. If the Rangers won't include the two guys Columbus wants, McDonough and Stepan (I believe), and Philly won't include Couturier or Schenn (don't think they will), then those teams aren't in the race.

Columbus could easily go to Nash and say they have a deal with x team. Does he want to go to x or stay in Columbus? That might be the only choice he has to make.

homie, you've wanted Ott for a year or two now.

maybe Darcy reads these boards
