Girgensons can play in the A
- Homer

Yes though sounding unlikely. I'm pretty sure I read that Darcy is expecting him to return to Vermont.

ahhh...

yea the whole can/can't play in the A.. then years in juniors deal.. i just don't fully understand that yet..

Go to Vermont... he was in the USHL last year...

The Roy for Ott thing has been talked about ad nauseum for a while, even before this guy started coming onto the scene. I credit it more to an "educated guess" rather than the fact that he has sources.
- buffalofan19

kinda surprised that a trade with that much chatter for so long went down, usually it's something out of the blue (please no debbie gibson video)

No Pardy just sucks. Wish it was Roy for Ott straight up.
- Punch70

If he's that bad, I'm sure they won't hesitate to send him to Rochester. I would think they're saying right now they won't because they want to give they guy a chance to come into camp and earn a spot.

listen to Darcy's presser, they have liked Pardy since his Calgary days.

Just seems like a Kotalik move to me.

Just a few ideas that I could see...

Rumor has it that STL is looking for defensive help.. whether it be offensive or defensive minded.. IDK..

Sekera or Leopold.. maybe a mid pick or something for RFA Chris Stewart.

Sekera/Leopold, and Adam/Catenacci for Sam Gagner

Some how I think Nick Foligno could still be in the fold...

This is in addition to Bobby Ryan rumors..

I still think strongly that SJ will shake things up without Nash there.. Thornton/Marleau could be on the block.

Semin is a last resort IMO.

Thoughts?
- JVince11

semin puts up just as many points as parise

I am fine going after him on a 2 year deal

Looking at his body of work... he is a straight defensive guy so his scoring stats mean nothing like Regehr's..

but for being a 6'4 220 lb D-men I like that aspect..

It looks like over the course of his NHL career... each season he has atleast 10-20 more hits than games played.. so atleast he does throw the body when he is playing.. and it looks like he always has had same or more blocked shots as games played. Not a bad depth guy with NHL experience to have in case of injury.
- JVince11

True that. Could have used that depth in game 7 against Carolina...

yea thats what I said... Semin on a 2-3 year deal.. for no more than 3.5M per year.

is Ott a center or a winger ?

does it matter?

he is ours

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be interested to explore the Semin route.

Question for everyone...

Weber or Pardy??

who is better? or maybe the better way of asking is..

Who is less worse?

still don think they got Ott to put him on the 4th line, he is much more valuable than that.
- Homer

nope, leino or vanek is moving to the right side

no chance in hell he gets burried like boyes did on the 4th line

I must say, you guys entertained me last night. I decided to sit back for the most part, but the after hours on here made it easy to work that last 8 hour shift before I head back to NY


side note, why are you guys so angry?
- homiedclown

Why are you such a clown??

If Parise signs with the Penguins long term front loaded contract, would that make Malkin expendable? Spending ~27.4 on just 3 forwards is pretty risky. If 1,2.. or even all 3 of them are injured, then what? They don't have Staal anymore.
- awildmudkip

Shero isn't going to make any moves that jeopardize Malkin.

If he's that bad, I'm sure they won't hesitate to send him to Rochester. I would think they're saying right now they won't because they want to give they guy a chance to come into camp and earn a spot.

ding ding... can't kill the guys confidence before he even boards a plane to Buffalo.

Oh goody, then we can have this whole saga again then!!!!

- homiedclown

Why? Because Darcy said to Roy "I'm never gonna give you up"? (Too lazy to find a rickroll link).

listen to Darcy's presser, they have liked Pardy since his Calgary days.
- SABRES 89

my guess is one of the 4 offensive d men is getting moved

maybe myers for ryan straight up

GO TO THE BEACH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New blog. Here it is:

Wanna see Cody Hodgson up close? How about Marcus Foligno? Mikhail grigorenko? Zemgus Girgenssens? Connor Knapp? Nathan Lieuewen?


The Sabres have announced that their 2012 Developmental camp will now be hosted and housed at First Niagara Center. For the past three summer, the Sabres have hosted the camp at Niagara University's Dwyer Arena in Lewiston, NY.

Yep. That's it

I would be interested to explore the Semin route.
- sambarugh

agreed, but it will be closer to 5 mil per then the 3.5 mil he suggested

and I am ok with that
