boycott the new thread!

I know it is not all about money; but what price bump do the Sabres have to give to players to get the 'name' players to come to Buffalo? If the rumor is true with the 30mil - is a name player happy taking say 25% less per season to play elsewhere? More?

Or should this be in the olympic thread? :) Beer bottle "thrown" at 100 meter finalists - looks like it is green. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympics-fourth-place-medal/beer-bottle-thrown-usain-bolt-100-final-photos-220531088--oly.html

They can buy him out and spread that over two years? :)

The question not being asked is how did you get that bill? Did she make change for you? When she was done with her shift did she head to the lady's club and slip it to you in a similar fashion?

I guess the Flyers also believe that Voracek has potential to improve still. Hope this doesn't affect the re-sign price of Ennis. From http://spectorshockey.net/blog/flyers-re-sign-voracek-2/ Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly.com reports the Philadelphia Flyers have re-signed forward Jakub Voracek to a four-year contract worth $4.25 million per season. SPECTOR’S NOTE: Voracek is coming off a one-year, $2.25 million contract, so this is a significant raise for him. Last season was one of his best, scoring a career-high 18 goals and 49 points, the second-highest single-season points total in his career to date. At only 22, Voracek still has plenty of time to develop into a potential 60-65 point scorer.

In Quebec they start their week on Wednesday.

But #Tuesdayboozeday is OK - that's bitchinkitchen

A little post about what the writer believes how to slot players into roles. http://www.thehosers.com/2012/07/perceptions-what-is-1-center.html

Probably only if Lindy actually gives Vanek the 2 extra minutes a game that Nash averaged over Vanek last season.

Luckily, that line fits in a tweet.

That would make you happy! Of course they would have to get at least Foligno and those 2 1st round picks (or the BJs 1st rounder?) in return.

On to some sad news: Robbie Ftorek's 23-year-old daughter died suddenly Saturday at the family's home in Wolfeboro, N.H. http://www.goerie.com/article/20120723/HOCKEY01/307239910/Erie-Otters-coach%27s-daughter-dies

Past 7 seasons: Nash: 451pts, 231G, 220A, 12.5s% in 520games Vanek: 447pts, 230G, 217A, 15.2s% in 547games

Since I think his motive to play anywhere but the Coyotes would be to win a Cup then I think this moves improves the Rangers chances.

Complaining about how horrible the Sabres organization is to Rochester and wishing that Florida was back in town?

I guess that makes it a little better with the pick being conditional. :) Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger Nash, cond.3rd (goes back to CBJ if NYR make Cup final), mnr leaguer Steve Delisle to NYR for Anisimov, Dubinsky, Erixon and 1st rnd pick.

Trade those 2 late round 1sts and something and maybe the BJs end up with the top 2 picks in the next draft Aaron Portzline ‏@Aportzline #CBJ now have three first-round draft picks in 2012-13: their own, #NYR and #LAKings. Aaron Portzline ‏@Aportzline Told the minor-league dman headed to #NYR is Steven Delisle. #CBJ have not confirmed that, however. Delisle played AHL/ECHL last season.

Swapping a beginning of round 3rd for a end of round 1st makes that 1st just for show almost. ouch! :thumbsup:

And if this part comes true also. Oh my. Aaron Portzline ‏@Aportzline #CBJ also sending 3rd pick and minor-league defenseman to #NYR in Nash trade. Told defenseman is not David Savard.

I think Nash finally forced his hand by not increasing possible trade options. And if you wanted Nash on the Sabres or not - doesn't matter since he didn't want to be a Sabre.

From an immediate point - Rangers win. But a top d prospect in Erixon, a young c in Anisimov and a 1st is a good amount to build the team up. Dubinsky gives them some grit also. Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie So, to review, as per @DarrenDreger, it's Anisimov. Dubinsky, Erixon and a 1st rd pick to CBJ for Rick Nash.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger Dubinsky, Erixson and 1st believed to be 3 of 4 pieces included in Nash trade.

You have to wonder if this has more to do with the ongoing CBA negotiations than the trade itself.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger Rick Nash trade to New York Rangers in process now. Details to follow.
