GARTH'S CORNER: Gagner Cleared To Play

Cool corner, bro.

Hope he does well . Thomas deserves to play with a Stellar center like JT.

I don't think Vanek feels that the Sabres felt that Moulson was better. The Sabres just came to terms with the fact that Vanek didn't want to be here anymore. I can't blame him, but it was painfully obvious that he checked out.

I've always been a huge fan of Vanek and I never felt he got the respect he deserved from Sabres fans. Nor did he get the benefit of playing with a true #1 center. It will be fun to see what he can do playing with JT. I wish him well.

I'm sure he was offered to every team.

honestly, he even looked pissed to have received the captains C. Ott was excited and he just seemed sort of "meh, aw poop" about it.

Speculation time. Would Kessel come back for Vanek. Straight up trade? I don't know how I feel about that.

Protect your ankles.

The Sabres offered Vanek to the Maple Leafs?

And this is why I believe Miller will be dealt. If Darcy's willing to deal within the division, then nothing is out of the question.

I'm sure he was offered to every team.

you guys see that 19.5% of vanek's salary is retained by the sabres as part of the deal?

Most teams declined, citing lack of hustle.

They paid around 1.2 mil for the draft picks is what it comes to. NY also has the option to defer the #1 to 2015 if it is a top 10 pick.

what if it's a top 10 pick in 2015, can we still keep it or do they kick the can down the road again?

Not a chance, Toronto just signed him long term plus he has a limited ntc/nmc and I would think Buffalo is the last team he would want to go to lol

Why would we even speculate on that since Vanek is already gone

I doubt it's top 10 this year anyways.

I'm sure he was offered to every team.

This^ 1000 times.



But Sir Dreger of House Nonis has to get his Leafs media buzz going.

Him and Tavares could be deadly together. Tavares is already putting of lots of points, should only do better now.. The question is if Vanek resigns. He may like living in NY. And playing with a center like Tavares.
