Here are some facts:

1. Buffalo did not make the playoffs in 2011-12 despite adding Leino and Ehrhoff

2. Free agents Buffalo has added in the 2012 offseason - John Scott, Kevin Porter, Mark Mancari

3. Players lost to free agency - Brad Boyes

Questions to think about:

1. Has Buffalo improved their team during the offseason?

2. Has teams that finished below Buffalo in the standings improved their rosters?

Scott will be your 13th forward. The other 2 will probably wind up in Rochester.

So why would Doan want to sign in Buffalo? Buffalo has an uphill climb just to get into the playoffs in 12-13. I would think Doan would want to sign with a Stanley Cup contender imo.

A Couple things you are forgetting...
1.) Ott for Roy
2.) Foligno and Hodgson should improve on solid rookie campaigns
3.) Last year Buffalo had several key injuries
4.) The Sabres were the 2nd best team in the east after the All Star Break

i trust homer as far as the news he can say. most of the times he can't . better than what our so called insider Garf gives us right ?

At least homer can put some rumors to the curb and give us something that maybe there is something going on.

All i ever expect .

Homer is it safe to say if we don't land Doan a splashy so called move like Ryan or Marleau isn't happening. Darcy be more looking at a Cullen type?

I'm always optimistic!! Which may be a fault. But with the youth we have, I see the light! I see it. Irish do you remember the Great Wing debate? I'm still sticking with the 911 Tavern. How about you??... Hey what ever happened to Sabretooth or Toof... Full circle it is!!
- Mikko_Makela


Yes I do remember the Wing convo!

There are many, Duffs are average in my opinion. I always liked Hooters (breaded), Abbott Pizza (South Buffalo in me).

All I know is they are trying...the magnitude of the player, I'm not sure. But yes, Cullen's name keeps coming up.
