What's gonna happen with Stafford?

[shrader]

Well, not so coincidentally, Dubinsky just signed an almost identical deal with the Rangers: check it out. Give Darcy credit for setting the market on this one and getting Stafford into camp a week before the Rangers got their guy in -- although outdoing Sather isn't much of an accomplishment.

 

That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that contract. Well, that and getting a good laugh at how Dubinsky was looking for 4 years/$16 million and had to settle for 2 years/$3.7 million. Hmmm, who won that game of chicken?

I liked Doobie at the beginning of last season when he was off to a hot start - the problem with him is the same one we have with Stafford.. they are both glaringly inconsistent!

 

Doobie has a bit of a Kaleta streak in him, and hopefully someday Patty gets up to his level on offense..

 

Stafford is not a small kid, and throws a pretty mean hipcheck, it's just so rare that when you see it you have to rub your eyes and wait for the replay cos it's once in a blue moon

I'm going out on a limb here and gonna make a prediction.

Barring injury, Stafford scores 30+ this season. Said it. Bank it.

That would be a pleasant surprise and an enormous lift to the Sabres..

Absolutely, that would go a long way to convincing us that his mind is really on playing and not on other extra-curricular activities
