Murray said Reinhart is more mature than most 18 year olds, he doesn't get rattled

Murray CONTINUES to say how Reinhart plays up in big games and is older than his age...


I think he stays here the whole year unless he pulls a yakupov.

Getting rid of Ehrhoff was the best thing this team has done since firing Darcy.

kennedy put up 86 points in his last 84 games at michigan state

compher put up 31 points in 35 games

it's an if

Again . Did you watch the games ? Or trying to determine a players worth of a stat sheet . Compher is a power forward that hits everything thing that moves . Tiny tim was not that.

Sure Kennedy wasn't a power forward but he played well for Michigan the same as compher is right now. You can't just automatically say that because he plays a completely different style of hockey that results will be completely different.

Compher is playing well at the collegiate level, but he's still an unknown as far as what his NHL career will be.

Kennedy got clutch goals, see 1 minute mark



it's a valid point that many elite college players do next to nothing in the nhl

Kennedy played at Michigan state . Michigan has one of the best coaches in Division 1 hockey in Red Berenson. Freshman at Michigan rarely get the playing time Comphor got.

That's what i meant, i normally differentiate them by saying Michigan or U-Michigan (i know it's weird whatever )


If were talking in terms of the sekera trade though, right now canes win it because they got a great defensemen and as of right now we have an unkonwn and some one who was garbage.

He was hardly a beast in the physical aspect of the game . And his freshman year he only had 19 points.

Michigan had an off year and a lot of injuries . Please don't try and twist your facts so you have another reason to bag on the Sabres . Compher is a different player than Kennedy and you still want to compare them . Also NCAA is sending far more players to the NHL now then they were in 2007 . They are preparing the players much better now.

Serious question to the people that want to resign Moulson.

What position do you want the Sabres to finish in at the end of next season?

Serious question.

There's nothing stopping us for keeping him here but also letting him go play in the WJC.

I'm on this site almost daily and have never even thought about posting. I couldn't help myself today so I made an account just to say this. I don't see how you can think what Tim Murray did by buying out Ehrhoff was the wrong decision. It may upset people but, that is on an emotional level. Murray is a professional GM he can not use emotion to make decision. He has said over and over its not about now its about the future. And now people are complaining because he is making decisions to protect the Sabres future. We are going to be a very good if not great hockey team in 3-4 years. Why the hell would you mortgage our future salary cap for a 31 year old player. He'll be 35 by the time were contending and at the point we can pick up an equivalent free agent for that same 4 mil cap hit.
Sorry to rant on you guys with my first post but please take the emotion out of it. Ehrhoff's is a very good 2-3 d, maybe even the best d this team has (had) but, the possible 1st round pick we could have got for him was not worth the future trouble it could have brought to our salary cap.

If Moulson is the best FA we're signing it doesn't matter, we'll be at or near the bottom.
