gregkash Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 obviously we're not good enough as is.. just FREAKING DO SOMETHING DARCY
spndnchz Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 With talk about Kaberle possibly going to the Caps I checked out Toronto on nhlnumbers that teams a mess on paper, trades everywhere, only 11 forwards under salary. Exciting and scary at the same time.
theend Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Well...there's the move. Darcy brings in Torres.
G-Daddy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 god this is annoying. the people around is in the standings are getting better, little piece by little piece and we're just standing there. Very frustrating.....same thing happens this time each year. We like our team. Price was too high for what we wanted. Blah Blah Blah
EdwardSauve Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Some people want Darcy to dump our underachievers...Some want to bolster our skaters for a playoff run, even if it means rentals... I think Darcy's torn, and that's why he's not doing anything. When we were playing well, I'm sure he thought about rentals...then we go into a tailspin, and he's caught in this mindgame of whether to 'quit' now and give up on all these players (i.e., trade Roy, Stafford, Mac, etc.), or to mortgage the future and dump prospects/picks (Ennis, Gerbe, etc.) to give this team a few missing veteran rental pieces which would propel them into the playoffs with a lot stronger play. It's not an easy decision - is this about NOW or the FUTURE? ...that said, he's paid good money to run this organization...he should have made his mind up by today. Not making any moves shows me that the FO does not believe that they are good enough to win this year. Also, they likely feel there isn't anyone available that would make them good enough this year unless they gave up a substantial amount of players, picks, and prospects. Impotence is their only option. They're damned if they do and they're damned if they don't.
gregkash Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 WE DID SOMETHING! RAFFI TORRES TO BUFFALO FOR PAETSCH AND a 2nd.
zow2 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Ok, at least they did something. How did Torres' Wiki page get updated so quickly? wow.
theend Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 WE DID SOMETHING! RAFFI TORRES TO BUFFALO FOR PAETSCH AND a 2nd. At least Paetsch gets to play now. Too bad we couldn't have given them one of our salary nightmares, just for kicks.
theend Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 What's Torres contract situation? He's a rental - UFA at the end of the year.
ThePebble19 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Sportsnet is reporting MacArthur is traded to Atlanta for draft picks...... Breaking news on www.sportsnet.ca
gregkash Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 nhlnumbers.com is being so used right now that it's down.
theend Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 What does the board think... The asking price for Kaberle is high...but he's under contract for another season and should bolster the defense. Should Darcy give up Stafford, Gerbe, and a 1st or 2nd-round pick (or something similar)...? I think I'd do it...
Steve Phillips Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Gotta be a mid-late pick for MacArthur....
gregkash Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 so long general. mcarthur to atlanta for a 3rd and 4th rounder
G-Daddy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 What does the board think... The asking price for Kaberle is high...but he's under contract for another season and should bolster the defense. Should Darcy give up Stafford, Gerbe, and a 1st or 2nd-round pick (or something similar)...? Sure, do it but lower round pick.
Steve Phillips Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 3rd and 4th pick for MacArthur! Way to dump this dead weight for something!
shrader Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 nhlnumbers.com is being so used right now that it's down. It's been down a lot lately, actually. I'm sure the deadline is a big reason today though. And with MacArthur gone, I think we're done for the day. I'd love to see that PP QB, but I don't think that's happening.
Strow Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 The Sabres are now done with trades today. Thats the average trading deadline one rental and a few picks.
zow2 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Those picks seem a bit disappointing. Are the Sabs gonna turn around and package those in another trade?
Eleven Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 What does the board think... The asking price for Kaberle is high...but he's under contract for another season and should bolster the defense. Should Darcy give up Stafford, Gerbe, and a 1st or 2nd-round pick (or something similar)...? I think I'd do it... Gotta ship a D-man out to bring him in, plus the Sabres may have to shed salary to make him fit. I say Lydman, Stafford, and one of the picks from the Mac deal.
ROC Sabres Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Those picks seem a bit disappointing. Are the Sabs gonna turn around and package those in another trade? Possible. Since they didn't get their second back I feel like they will be happy keeping 2 extra late picks.
