Is Lilgegren RH? I think he was hurt and is making his way back. Possibly why they need the space, both cap and roster wise. All would depend on the plus I guess. Seems like a favor to him when you can send him anywhere but just ask to send him down the road.

Pretty much
There’s no downside with acquiring Holl plus a sweetener

Exactly, give me Ottawa's 3rd next year. Plus it would help that you would have a Dman on every pair that has or the potential to block over 100 shots and throw over 100 hits

And if we decide we like Pilut & Fitz & others over Holl, then just send Holl down
Either he’ll get claimed, or be a help to Rochester

Even if the sweetener is only a 7th, i just don’t see the downside

Just thought I would pass along a little info I got today, Leafs asked if we would consider taking Justin Holl and they would also include a " sweetener".
- SABRES 89


Well, they would have to give more than just Matthews as a sweetner. Maybe through in Matt Murray.

They'd say 19m+ of savings. Stadiums aren't cheap.

Isn't this a development and find out what you have year. See if you can fit pieces together.

I did not back read (reid ?) enough to see if anyone mentioned it, .. but not only was the hustle by Girgensons just EPIC, .. but he literally had that PHYUCK Letang hanging on to his L arm, and ZG just put it into 4 wheel drive and dragged that mutt out of the scrum, .. LOVED THE FELLAS attitude when that warrior came back to the bench, .. there is no arguing that the attitude towards each other (you can tell it in every pre/post game interview they do, .. watch Tuch tonight when he's talking about Girgensons (what do you expect from a future captain though, .. maybe Dahlin too), ..


If you don't think that Granato is the coach for this team (much the way McDermott is w/ the Bills), .. then you don't have a clue, .. this guy has the pulse of HIS team, and he damn sure cares about what is being presented on the ice, and how it can get better every game. 7-3 to start is PRRRRRRRRRETTTY good, ..

P.S., .. Paul from Buffalo, thanks for that great call this morning about the pukes from Boston and their maggot fan base being in the arena on the 12th, .. I hope you are right in folks showing up that night, .. that game is THE measuring stick game to date for this club (not sure on the stats, but I know Boston has owned this team for the past several years), .. I'm optimistic that the arena will continue to grow, .. I KNOW IT WILL, .. people are skeptical (understood with the history and all), .. but if there are two examples of this being done in Buffalo before, then you only need to look to "99 or "05-06, .. the SCF team had good vibes the season before (to hell w/ the Capitals to this day, .. BONDRA !!!!!!), but there winning bred a rabid fan base, .. '05-06, no one saw that coming, but once the wagon started rolling (check out the logs on this site from back then, .. talk about good reeeeding), .. it was picking up people left and right, .. this town has, and always will shower their teams w/ fan support (when it's warranted - see Bills rebuild to where they are now), .. it was said last year, .. this group is a real life "Major League" squad, .. just keep winning boys, .. nothing like the power of a Buffalo crowd when the building is full !!!!!

Thanks for taking my call, .. I'll hang up and listen.

If we need savings, we can always dump Girgs
I’m sure we’d get a great return since he’s so good of a leader

I know nothing of Holl. Unless I was somewhat sure that he could help us now I would pass because it is the Leafs.
