stenbaro Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Gaborik to NYR 28.75 for 5 years (5.75/per) And now Ek is calling Heatley to Edm(e5) waiting for TSN. So today they moved Gomez and his salary and added a much better player for less money. Not to mention the players they recieved from the Gomez deal.. How can anyone say Sather is the worst GM in Hockey??? The man has an endless supply of money and he uses it.. Only one team wins the cup every year. You might not agree with his moves but at the very least he doesnt sit still and let other teams dictate to him how he is gonna stock his roster

Calvin Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 The whole "I would've signed this guy, I would've signed that guy" thing is worthless. It doesn't matter whether or not the Sabres would paid that much for these guys. They may or may not have been interested at these rates, but whatever, they're signed and they're gone. good point Schrader.. why bother talking about people already signed elsewhere
rickshaw Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 The moves Sather has made since he arrived in NYR would have had any GM fired. Redden? Rosival? Gaborik? Naslund? The list goes on. And that is recently. He buys guys up, yet has no feel for how they'll fit together as a "team" Now Gainey is in on it. Great buys, sure, but how will the rest of the "team" be?
wonderbread Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 If it hasn't been reported Neil is back with Ottawa. 8 mil 4 years. I'd love to see DR give an offer sheet to Versteeg. 4 years at $2,615,622 per. For a 2nd round pick it would be worth it IMHO. If they pay him fine. Force their hand this year so that we can try to cherry pick next year. They have a lot of $$ tied up.

I bet they will be better than our "team". If you think it's acceptable the way Buffalo sits and does nothing, it's delusional thinking.
Hank Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 I think it is acceptable to sit and do nothing. Although I do think Ward would have been a good fit for 1.5/yr.
wonderbread Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 I think it is acceptable to sit and do nothing. Although I do think Ward would have been a good fit for 1.5/yr. Dixon Ward? You really want to bring him back? I thought Mckee was bad enough.
SabreInFla Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 I think it is acceptable to sit and do nothing. Although I do think Ward would have been a good fit for 1.5/yr. You're right, we were so good last year and none of our opponents have improved. Are you kidding man?
Hank Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 No, I'm not. It's hard to find value on day one without over paying. Our organization can not make the mistakes that the Rangers can and still survive.
wjag Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Gaborik signed for 7.5 So NYR nabbed one of the biggest prizes again this year.. Yeah I've got some envy..
SabreInFla Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 No, I'm not. It's hard to find value on day one without over paying. Our organization can not make the mistakes that the Rangers can and still survive. We also can't make the playoffs.
Hank Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 True, but I think the problems preventing us from making the playoffs go way deeper than over spending on UFA's can fix.
SDS Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 We also can't make the playoffs. oh please. NYR finished 4 points ahead of us. That isn't exactly head and shoulders above us now is it? If we beat them one additional time we would have been tied.
rickshaw Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 So NYR nabbed one of the biggest prizes again this year.. Yeah I've got some envy.. Yeah, I'm envious of the 17 games he played last year. And the 51 games played he's avg'd over the past 4 seasons. :doh:
SabreInFla Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 True, but I think the problems preventing us from making the playoffs go way deeper than over spending on UFA's can fix. It just seems to me that it is time to take a chance. You almost always have to take risks to get ahead.
Ted's Hot Dogs Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Gionta sighns a five year deal with the HABS

nfreeman Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 habs have a front office that knows what theyre doing and knows how to deal with losing good players properly If you're being serious, this is nonsense.
thesportsbuff Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 If you're being serious, this is nonsense. um Spacek and Gil, Cammalleri, Gionta, Gomez > Montador
SabreInFla Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 um Spacek and Gil, Cammalleri, Gionta, Gomez > Montador Bingo.
Foligno's Nose Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 ...and Gainey will still be fired. He ridiculously overpayed in all cases.
