IF HUNWICK IS BETTER THEN TENNYSON HE SHOULD BE PLAYING.

HE HAS BEEN AROUND THE GUYS AND WITH THE SABRES ALL YEAR.

THE DEFENSE IS A LITTLE BROKEN AS WELL.
NEEDS SOME FIXING

#5 Was pretty poopity yesterday. I could not imagine Hunwick could be worse....
- hehateme



You went to the game clearly.

Tennyson was brutal.
How much worse can a guy that has 521 nhl games under his belt.


Goes for Nelson too.

Nice cushion in the standings to try him out.
I imagine he's a jbotts guy:

The whole Pittsburgh thing and he traded for him......

Skunk...currently on pace for 69 points (nice)

Skunk 64 points in his last 68 games

He can stay especially if they can get him on a team friendly deal

I didn't yell first. I yelled back.

Dreger talking about "skinner talks starting in January."
Sounded familiar.

I fear this last summer was our opportunity to do so. 5-5.5M x 6yr sounds pretty good right about now.

The only hope since he will still be a RFA is that if he won't sign a good deal for both sides is that he is moved for a ton or a young stud top 4 d man

Yea but his first 38 games last year was a disaster. If he finishes this season like he has started then all complaints go out the window. Consistency over a full 82 game season should not be too much to ask for.

That's 3 too many guys for the 23 man roster, and 4 if Pilut stays (which he should)

Will they all be off IR at the same time? Who knows

Sabres a desperate for a number two Center.

What about

Buffalo gets Schenn

Blues get Scandella, Girgensons or Larrson, Blues first back and asplund.

Prolly an over payment but they need to take back salary to make it work.

He had a slow start this season as well but has already picked it up (his cold start this season also was his best start to a season in his career)

He will finish between 65 and 75 points

i may be thinking of a different league altogether, but i believe there's a way to finesse the time in which players are kept on the IR. Enough so that you could make the roster moves you need to without having to make a panic trade or something.

If Phil keeps that line together he very well should. But it is a long season and I'll believe it when I see it. I would love for him to put together a 70 point season. If he remains a consistent player from this point on it will be great for the teams success.

Yeah Scandella gone allows Pilut to play. Schenn has a year left so he is not a rental and he had 70 points last year. He will not be cheap. The only real asset we are losing are first and asplund.

- jcragcrumple



It's still awful

Schenn has 1 more year left on his deal

He has 1 season scoring more than 60 points

That blues pick could be a top 5 pick

Moving Okposo out sure helps the cap but you're basically giving up a top 5 pick for someone to take Okposo for a player that is going to walk after next season
