LabattBlue Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 Good offensive skills and somewhat of a physical presence in his own end. Salary the last 4 years.... 2000-01 2,800,000 2001-02 2,900,000 2002-03 3,500,000 2003-04 3,600,000 Two year contract, 3 million per year??? He is the top 4 defenseman that would really bolster the blueline corps.
PTS Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 He's the one guy left out there that could save face for Darcy. I was hoping we'd get him but after hearing Darcy talk today, for-git-bout it
PTS Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 What did Darcy say??? Basically said that there are virtually no FA defensemen left that they can afford and that the team might have to look to the trade route.
Swedesessed Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 Id rather see the Sabres take a shot at Aaron Miller....and he is from Buffalo to boot :D
ricogarion Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 Hamrlik could thrive here he would be a force on our blueline and he wasn't drafted as high as he was for nothing.Given a lot of minutes he could hit the pinacle of his career,just that I feel he may make too much salary for the Sabres to even consider him.
sabrecuse Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 It seems Roman is thinking like Brendan Witt is: The gem on defence is Roman Hamrlik, who has already turned down a few offers. "Our focus is trying to put him in the best situation in terms of playoffs, he hasn't had that opportunity much of his career," said Winter, also his agent. "We've turned down opportunities that were quite lucrative with non-playoff teams and left our focus to be trying to find the best deal, not only economically, but also in terms of the teams' prospects (for winning). So we're being patient and we'll see how that ends up." Source: http://www.nhl.com/news/2005/08/232518.html
Guest Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 I saw something today saying that Hamrlik has a bad knee. Anyone know more about that?

Source: http://www.nhl.com/news/2005/08/232518.html That's pretty interesting, but he is an UFA, and it appears the teams he wants or that he thinks are contenders aren't jumping through hoops. Is he willing to sit out an entire season?
sabrecuse Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 delete me.. It's so damn hot I mixed up Witt and Hamrlik and thought he was RFA for a second there.. damn this heat
Satan81 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Hamrlik has 2 bad knees and wants more money than he is worth. I think it would be a bad move. I'd much rather have Witt on the team.
chileanseabass Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 Brendan Witt wants to leave the Caps. They should trade for him and go for Aaron Miller from the Kings as well. Hamrlik would be a bust.
Hartman Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 well, the first two weeks of free agency are nearly over, and the Sabres have still essentially done nothing..........
