McNabb was so good LA left him unprotected

He played well for Vegas but lets not act like we lost out on the second coming here
- Stripes77

This is kind of proving my point. Everyone talked here that McNabb was going to come in and be a top 3 d-man for this team for a long time.

Grigorenko was going to come in and be a top line Center.

Kassian and Foligno were going to rule the top line wings for years.

Every years its someone new.

I swear to god....

If I see one more person put JVR in Buffalo's projected top 6 in their little fan minds... I am going to punch a kitten.

THE DUDE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATES BUFFALO!!! HATES THE CITY!!!

I thought that was lupul

I wonder if the FLyers would be a trade fit. Maybe something involving Simmonds. not sure specifics. O' Reilly would be a solid add to the middle with Patrick and Couturier. Problem is I don't see them taking him at 7.5 with Provorov soon to get a big deal and Konecny needing money too.

LOVE the player, but at 29 and with an expiring contract, and Reinhart and Okposo already at RW, I don't think it's a fit

That's why they need to make trades and not just think the players we have in the system are going to come in an be that much better than their counterparts

it was lupul

Is this middle school??? My gawd.

Ya'll trying to decode the dramatic locker room by goal celebrations?
- JVince11

To be fair, this also came up between my buddy and an NHL ref.

Says its no secret that there is plenty of dislike between the two. He even went on to say as much as RoR trying to turn the rest of the locker room against Eichel.

again this is second hand hear say but it lines up pretty closely to what you see on the ice

Agreed, I love Simmonds but age, contract, etc it just doesn't line up

No he doesn’t ..

Wrong person

I'm really trying to think of the last player that we traded or let go who just absolutely FLOURISHED.

Armia? Nope
Myers? Maybe
Stafford? Not bad
Zadarov? Nope
Grigorenko? Nope
Stewart? Nope
Vanek? Still producing
Miller? Solid not great
Foligno? Nope
Ennis? Nope
Kulikov? Nope
Pysyk THE GOD HIMSELF? Nope
Lemieux? Not yet.
Paul Byron? HAHAHA kind of actually this year.

The one that I can see biting us still is Compher. I really think he is going to be a good piece.

I hope it's true, so I can continue thinking ROR is a piece of poop.

- Michael Pachla

Oh crap was it??? my bad.

Sorry for all of that JVR trash talking I've done over the last few years then.

Wasn't that Emmerson Etem that did it too?

- jcragcrumple

That's what I didn't know. I have a feeling Simmonds gets moved at the draft. Not sure I see Hextall signing him to a long term deal since he'll need a raise on his reasonable deal that he played on.

*insert eye roll*


My best friend Larry delivers pizza in Clarence and he saw that Jack was actually at ROR's house one time when Ryan wasn't even home!!! It was a tupperware party but still... could have been a big orgy.

Just goes to show the lack of talent the Sabres have had for so long

I think Byron is a guy that would look good on this team though.

He is a fast winger who found his scoring touch

I've heard it from other officials

They really do not get along

James Tanner said the Stamkos contract was a bad contract for Tampa Bay.

Yeah Etem said something when here was here for the prospects game or something, it might have been the world jrs

I have faith that JB and this regime is better than the last 2.

Dude it’s all true when I come up for games in the players lounge he completely ignores Jack even when Jack asks him a question

Regier built a team that SHOULD have won the cup.. but i think he just got lucky as crap.

This is from EK's thread

"Why do most rumour sites assume
It will be Trouba traded out of Winnipeg when 80% of the fan base assume ( and hope ) it will be Myers?"

He's still soft, he's still making five and a half, and he still has bonehead moments. Myers at 4m on the third pair is good

Update the records to perhaps
- DDM-Coga

I'll be fair... when he was drafted he was viewed as a top pairing guy maybe a #3. We traded him and he has performed as a 3/4. He had off the ice issues both here and there. And didn't he sit out and threaten to go to the KHL last summer?

Points don't tell the whole story but he's had like 32 pts in 150 games in Colorado.

He's not exactly gonna be getting Norris votes any time soon.

Not a bust...

Man... I really loved that dude when we first got him. Won the Calder... He had KILLER playoff series against PHI and Boston (lesser degree). Myers against Philly is still youtube material I'll watch today.
