Eh, maybe but I doubt it. Darcy loves Vanek, and moving our best goal scorer for one that's better but not lightyears better seems relatively counterproductive unless Nash were a center (which he's obviously not).

Reluctantly yes. And I stress reluctantly.

Has all the raw skill to be an all-star but is a total locker room cancer to put it nicely. Maybe a change of scenery will be good for him.

@LucGelinasRDS: Sabres n'auraient pas terminé de bouger. Une source très fiable m'assure qu'ils travaillent fort pour obtenir Rick Nash.” which means: Sabres have not finished moving. A very reliable source assures me they are working hard to get Rick Nash. "

That's logical. The losers of the Parise sweepstakes might be a little more desperate for Nash/Ryan. We REALLY need to land Ryan though. Break the bank for him. McNabb, Pysyk, Adam, any prospect other than Ennis and Foligno should be trade-able.

Can someone explain the reason why the trade market won't open up until Parise decides? Is it because the teams that don't land him will start going after Nash/Ryan? Because if that were the case, it would make more sense for Darcy to try to get a deal done BEFORE the Parise signing. This way he prevents the more stacked teams like Philly or Detroit from jumping in with better offers.

I would never expect Roy and a pick to work by themselves. Throw in McNabb if necessary, Ryan is that good.

Not talking about one game in particular. Lucic and the gang are a bunch of punks all the time, not just when they take cheap shots at Miller.

I can only dream of Scott squaring off against Lucic at the FNC en route to a beat down of those Boston punks.

I'm almost worried that he's so big and good at fighting that opponents will shy away from him!

Go on youtube. The guy's a world beater.

Gotta be honest, I'm actually kinda pleased with this signing. He's Andrew Peters reincarnated. Only four inches taller haha.

John Scott?

Wow. Either Darcy has total confidence in the trade market (Ryan, Nash, somebody) or we as a franchise have reverted back to the pre-Pegula days.

Makes sense. I was hoping there'd be some kind hidden meaning but you're probably right.

What would be the motivation for this?

Crap it is Parros, isn't it? I didn't feel like looking it up.

I'm feeling 4 o'clock will be the time the Sabres do something. Perros, Prust, Parenteau maybe.

Should sign Perros.

Good point I saw on Twitter: If the Pens choose Parise, they're essentially giving up on Malkin. There is absolutely no way Pittsburgh can would have the cap room to resign him to a long term deal.

Bucky Gleason ‏@TBNbucky #Sabres looking to acquire Bobby Ryan if the price is right. Flyers also in the mix.

If Parise goes to Pittsburgh I would flip out. Could you imagine the kind of power play they'd have? They'd probably score about 50% of the time.

Bickle signs with the Rags

It would have been better said if he used quotations. The "look fans, we tried" tweet.
