Vandaman26 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 I cant believe Regier hasn't signed Enroth to what he's asking! I mean he kept Patrick Lalime for 1 more yr. Now tht we have a true back-up for the first time since Brion left town should make Darcy give Enroth wth he wants.

This is good because we are getting our team all set and also, the players who will be waived to rochester now maybe more motivated... Hope Enroth is kept behind miller because then milsy will be fresher for the playoffs. If it does get done that only leaves MAG to be signed. The team looks pretty respectable and I wonder if any trades will occur.

spndnchz Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 According to this Enroth is signing in KHL According to the "HP" the second goalkeeper of the club the National Hockey League Jonas enroth in the current season to sign a contract with a club in the Kontinental Hockey League.-Old goalkeeper, who played in North America the past few seasons and has earned a reputation as a reliable and promising goalkeeper intends to give a new round of his career. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hockeypravda.ru%2Fnews%2Fshow_news.php%253Fid%3D7319%26usg%3DALkJrhgHPd60KvW80J9hRPjHpfAHSs8Bbg

Sounds like Enroth isn't willing to wait for Miller to step aside and wants to prove he's a #1 goalie now? There are backups available on the FA market but they are gonna affect our cap more than Enroth would methinks. Edit- Turco and Conklin are still available I think. Can you say 75 games for Miller? Sure you can.
Taro T Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Maybe just a little agent posturing? Let's hope. Going over to Russia did SOOOO much for Noronen's career.
RazielSabre Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Why go the KHL, if he really just wanted to prove his a no.1 he could request a trade? Just PS to create news as they can't create Stamkos rumors any more imho.

Just PS to create news as they can't create Stamkos rumors any more imho. Well most teams are pretty well set with their goalies so requesting a trade isn't going to get him very far ... he's have to beat out someone established most places anyway. I think chz is right, the KHL is his only leverage so I suspect his agent is just making it known they are looking into it. I guess if someone over there offered him $2 or 3 million a year it would be hard to pass it up, but ... it would strike me as a very headcase kind of move.
LastPommerFan Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 What's the rule if he heads over to the KHL, do the Sabres still own his rights untill he's old enough for UFA?

wjag Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 First Regier says end of the week and now he's KHL shopping... Pure posturing by both sides.
X. Benedict Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 The thing I wonder about Enroth...he played 55 games last year between Portland and Buffalo. Essentially the organization used Enroth as the backup from Portland, giving him lots of playing time to stay sharp - with regularly scheduled NHL starts. (until Miller was injured) - (Lalime was the Emergency Keeper) There will be a slight, albeit natural decline if Enroth plays only 20 games next year as a backup. That's a huge reduction in work. As for the Russian stuff --- I think that would be a lousy career move for him.
shrader Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 What's the rule if he heads over to the KHL, do the Sabres still own his rights untill he's old enough for UFA? Exactly. They just have to make a qualifying offer each year to retain his rights. It'll be the same figure each year.
LGR4GM Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 ...well now Hockey Heaven just saw a storm cloud on the horizon and I hope it blows over because Enroth is the best goalie we have in the system and Miller needs a backup who can actually not suck... posturing please be posturing.
Robviously Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 According to this Enroth is signing in KHL http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hockeypravda.ru%2Fnews%2Fshow_news.php%253Fid%3D7319%26usg%3DALkJrhgHPd60KvW80J9hRPjHpfAHSs8Bbg This would be devastating. Without Enroth, the Sabres sign another (!) journeyman backup and Ruff will do what he always does -- play him once a month for three months, get awful results, and then decide he can't afford to play him EVER. Miller plays 75 games, is burned out by playoff time, and gets outplayed in the first round by some nobody. Enroth and the Sabres were NOT that far off on money. Just pay him and let's get on with our lives. We're paying everyone else whatever they want; why did we decide to turn this into a mess?

As for the Russian stuff --- I think that would be a lousy career move for him. It is something to watch IMO. We have no idea how he'll turn out stepping off the bench every 4th or 5th game (at least I hope it would be every 4th game). If he isn't able to maintain his level of play at that pace we could end up with yet another iffy backup for Ryan Miller.

If he isn't able to maintain his level of play at that pace we could end up with yet another iffy backup for Ryan Miller. I think all the hype with Enroth can be similarly looked at like the hype towards MAG. The kid clearly has upside, but he hasn't spent a whole season here yet. If Enroth does in fact go to the KHL, well, sucks for him. I'd be totally okay with giving McIntyre a shot at the big club. While i do want enroth dressing in blue and gold on a regular basis this year, it's not the end of the world if he doesn't.
Bullwinkle Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I think Enroth knows this isn't a good move for him. So does his agent. I can't see him dropping a support role for Miller in the NHL for a gig in KHL obscurity where the Sabres can still retain his rights. Marketing move.

This quote has to be fake, did he really say that? Sorry, irrelevant but I had to comment when I saw it :).
