Derrico Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 pittsburg does it so they dont have 21mil+ spent on centers only. Look it was an idea and a solution, who knew carter and richards would be dealt out of philly and look! they were. I hope the sabres management has more imagination. Not sure I want Jordan as our Number 1 center. Not if we're going for it within the next three years.
LGR4GM Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 So you'd trade away the guy with the most youth and the lowest salary for a midget, a late 1st, and a late 2nd. :huh: Gee, he's always (except when there have been injuries to the guys in front of him) been the 3rd liner playing w/ 3rd liners and he's never had a big point scoring season. Hard to believe. I suppose you'd have traded away Steve Young as well for a whole lot of nothing. :wallbash: And yet Mario hasn't come knocking on KTN's door 4 his GM? Shocking. Shocking, I must say. Taro says "Delta Bravo" o yea hes so much more youthful than crosby and malkin 1 and 2 years respectively, better not get rid of those old 23 and 24 year olds on the team or they will be so old and screwed. O and we have Calgary's 2nd which will be pretty good i bet so goodnight.

tom webster Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Purely out of curiosity, has a thought ever crossed your mind that didn't also cross your keyboard? The way some of it is written, I'm thinking he has some still developing voice recognition thing going.
darksabre Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Tampa may be willing to deal Malone and we could use him. 6'+ 200lbs+ LW Currently at 4.5 mil for 3 more years. That's a deal I'd look into along with Talbot. I'd be happy to have Malone, and think he is a realistic option. I like his game.
spndnchz Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 I was wondering same thing. I think he'd be a decent pick up but without looking it up I think he might be another small guy and they need some size EDIT: just looked it up, surprised he's 5'11". He didn't get to play a lot of center because of their depth but he might be interesting. Hamilton said he stood right next to him and they were eye 2 eye. Paul's 5'-8".
X. Benedict Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Why does no one factor Luke Adam into the Sabres center plans? I do. I think he's in the plans in the sense he is in the pipeline. We'll see him in Blue and Gold this year, but he's no lock to make the roster. I think he's probably a call-up. We'll see how he looks after the off-season.
Lanny Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Hamilton said he stood right next to him and they were eye 2 eye. Paul's 5'-8". 5'11" with the mustache
X. Benedict Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Q. Why does Regier continue talking to Connolly without signing him. A. Because you don't want to be without centers when the music stops.

And let's not forget that Staal is currently the only healthy center out of that group. If they're going to move someone to free up cash, it's not going to be the cheap and healthy guy. The way some of it is written, I'm thinking he has some still developing voice recognition thing going. He talks, it types? Q. Why does Regier continue talking to Connolly without signing him. A. Because you don't want to be without centers when the music stops. I'm really starting to think/hope that this recent Connolly stuff is just a giant smokescreen.
bunomatic Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Q. Why does Regier continue talking to Connolly without signing him. A. Because you don't want to be without centers when the music stops. Or a chair :unsure:
tom webster Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Q. Why does Regier continue talking to Connolly without signing him. A. Because you don't want to be without centers when the music stops. Whose Connolly's agent? Any chance he's just talking to him in order to get to someone else?
X. Benedict Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Whose Connolly's agent? Any chance he's just talking to him in order to get to someone else? I think it is still J.P. Barry - Regehr's agent.
inkman Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 For a 20 year old (at the time) rookie, I thought he showed enough to be hopeful. I don't know if I agree with this either. Yes, he looks ugly, but I thought he got to where he needed to get to, and had some missed opportunities that I just attributed to him being a 20 year old rookie. Maybe I was drunk during his call ups, but I cant recall him looking even remotely close to a NHL player.
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Maybe I was drunk during his call ups, but I cant recall him looking even remotely close to a NHL player. If you played Ice Hockey on Nintendo, your 3 choices were Connolly, Pominville, and Luke Adam.

spndnchz Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 List of players that did not receive their QO and will become UFA this week. /snip Interesting play by the GM's here. While most of these guys aren't worth hanging around with, others are not sent offers because they may be arbitration eligible. Some guy making 650k has a big year (D'Agostini) gets a qualifying offer he doesn't like, files for arbitration and then the team gets screwed by the arbitrator. You can only not accept 2 arby's every three years. it's a gamble but well played IMO.
shrader Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 The WNY hockey scene took a bit of a hit on that one. There's a bunch of local kids on that list.
LastPommerFan Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 The next 70 hours are going to be absolutely brutal on my fragile body. This is like christmas eve, only you haven't been able to sneak into santa's "hiding spot" to see what you're going to get. I'm losing my mind.

Braedon Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Per Bob McKenzie, VAN now asking other NHL teams if they're interested in acquiring Ehrhoff's negotiating rights prior to July 1.
CallawaySabres Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Per Bob McKenzie, VAN now asking other NHL teams if they're interested in acquiring Ehrhoff's negotiating rights prior to July 1. My buddy just told me this as well. He heard Ehrhoff was offered the Bieksa deal and it was not good enough. Although he still could get another offer from Vancouver, it is doubtful. I think Detroit would probably take a pretty good run at him....
