tom webster Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=325969 I swear I will throw my lap top out of an airplane if he is brought back for anything more then the veteran minimum.
nfreeman Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 I don't see DR bringing him back. It's worth noting that Lindy got 3 20-goal seasons and a 62-point season out of him. But he can't coach.
shrader Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Another incredibly awful contract that they Rangers somehow didn't have to pay for at all. In that deal to Calgary, Kotalik was the only one who actually had money carrying over to this year ($3 million per over the next two seasons). Remember when Sather used to be good at his job?
carpandean Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that Jim Vandermeer will be brought in as a cheaper Lydman replacement?

Please NO. Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that Jim Vandermeer will be brought in as a cheaper Lydman replacement? Please GOD NO!

tom webster Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Posted June 28, 2010 I will go on record as saying that I wouldn't mind him as 4th liner at minimum salary.
nobody Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 I will go on record as saying that I wouldn't mind him as 4th liner at minimum salary. As a 4th liner / PP & SO specialist. Can't complain too much with that.
thesportsbuff Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 In 2005/6 when Lindy used Kotalik at the PP point for his one-timer, it worked pretty swell. Then he stopped utilizing him.

spndnchz Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Qualifying offer wasn't extended to Paille. They're still talking, but Bruins can't because of their cap#.

spndnchz Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Ryan Potulny not given offer by Oilers. This guy should get picked up quick. http://www.nhl.com/i...0680&view=stats A real over abundance of RFA centres in Edmonton.
nfreeman Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Did you pull a muscle reaching that far? :D Why do you think that was a reach (I'm assuming you meant logically and not pornographically)? The Lindy-bashers seem to think that another coach could get more out of the guys on the roster. I haven't yet heard a coherent response to the position that the guys that have left the Sabres have not achieved as much for their new teams as they did for Lindy.

So has Campbell.
shrader Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Briere has achieved more. So has Campbell. Statistically, no they haven't. I'll give you Campbell since he has his best career numbers in 2008-2009, but with Briere, it hasn't even been close. Philly has been ready to run him out of town on several occasions. Sure, both now have their big playoff runs, but that has as much to do with the teams themselves as it does with those two players.

Briere has done great in the playoffs for Philly, like he did with the Sabres, but his regular season #s were much better with the Sabres. As for Soupy, his best year was actually '07-'08, when he played 76% of his games as a Sabre. So if anyone is reaching...

I'm sorry, but when you pick 3 seasons out of his seven with the Sabres, one of them being the magical '05-'06 season, and use that to show us what a great coach Lindy is,.. that's a reach. Talking about a guy that just won the Stanley Cup and another that has been to 2 ECFs and a SCF as achieving more since they left is not. Maybe I'm wrong.
darksabre Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 we miss him on the PP We miss J.P. Dumont more.
VansTheMans Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Haha. Poor, lazy Ales. If he wanted to sign for 800K, I'd take him back. As someone already pointed out, just make him a 4th liner/PP point guy. His shot is still BOOMING.
inkman Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 If he wanted to sign for 800K, I'd take him back. As someone already pointed out, just make him a 4th liner/PP point guy. He's the opposite of what I want in a 4th liner. Give me Cody McCormick please.
