    Not Chara or Hossa. And here's one close to your heart: not Kovy. But I agree that many turn out badly. I'd be interested to see a breakdown of elite UFAs who signed big deals at, say, age 28 or lower (i.e. where the player doesn't turn 29 until after his first season with his new team).

    This.

    Or maybe some jerk got in his face, there was a shoving match and someone called the police. We don't have any information yet -- so can't really draw any conclusions.

    Is it a strip club?

    There is zero chance of this happening, or of London losing its primacy as Europe's financial hub.

    There's no such rule here. Please post more often, including on your board/thread preferences.

    Still blaming Lindy, eh? Even though 3 other teams (Montreal, Austrian national team and Minnesota), once they saw him up close, wanted nothing more to do with him?
  8. nfreeman
    He's probably a good guy, but he never wanted it bad enough. Great hands though, and every now and then he would turn on the jets. And he was the best forward Darcy ever drafted. Yeeeeeeesssshhhh.

    What a freaking bum Vanek turned out to be.
  10. nfreeman
    Because Buffalo isn't in Canada.

    Of course, but there are other teams bidding for him too. FWIW, I do not think GMTM will trade #8 for him, and I would not do so either, but I wouldn't be shocked if GMTM does so.

    Speaking for myself only, the only time I will merge threads is when they are essentially redundant -- e.g. if there is a thread entitled "Should ROR be moved to wing?" and then someone starts a thread entitled "Is ROR better at center or wing?"
  13. nfreeman
    Well, there already is one for Stamkos and one for Vesey, and there will presumably be one for each of the Sabres' draft picks. If PAFan (or anyone else) wants to start a dedicated Fowler thread, or a dedicated Player X thread -- have at it.

    What? What? That movie was one terrific scene after another. I will admit that QT is not for everyone. But if you appreciate his work, "Pulp Fiction" was pretty much a masterpiece.

    I hope you're right, and I would send them Zemgus and Foligno (and a #2 pick if needed) for Fowler, and I think GMTM would too. I think Ennis would be Anaheim's least preferred member of the group due to concussion and contract. Good post. I kinda think GMTM is going to reel him in and this got me pretty psyched. I'd rather have Fowler than Shatty.

    What a great movie.

    There's a reason Lindy did that. Soupy was a train wreck in the defensive zone before 2005. As for Subban, I'd be amazed if the Habs actually traded him. From the Sabres' perspective, I'd probably give #8 plus either Reino or Risto, but Eichel is off the table, and dudacek is in the Sabrespace gimp's basement in "Pulp Fiction."
  18. nfreeman
    Yes indeed. My point was simply that GMTM will be factoring in the extension (and cost thereof) into his evaluation of whether to trade for Shatty -- and that Shatty may not be the kind of player that GMTM likes enough to give a big, long-term contract to.
  19. nfreeman
    I think it's worth noting that Shatty is entering the last year of his contract -- so if the Sabres were considering giving up real assets for him, an extension would have to be part of the deal. This would probably be pretty expensive. He turns 28 in January, so he's not too old for, say, a 5-year extension -- but it's a real question as to whether he's the kind of player that GMTM would want to give, say, $6MM x 5 years.

    I don't know anything about soccer but this is like Gretzky-era Oilers vs a lower tier AHL team.

    Good post. Perry Tuttle?
  22. nfreeman
    This has a cold and familiar ring to it.
  23. nfreeman
    Well I must admit that is pretty interesting. I think I'd still say no, and I think GMTM would too, but I could easily be wrong on both counts.
  24. nfreeman
    Good call.
  25. nfreeman
    I'm going to respectfully say NFW on this, at least not until his contract year (and probably not then either).
