qwksndmonster Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 Where's the option for "He'll play elsewhere"? And no. I don't believe Drury will return.
Vandaman26 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 I hear u qwksndmonster. Other than Drury are there any UFA's left tht could add leadership and maybe get around 30-40 points?
nucci Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 If Drury re-signs, how much and long does Darcy and. Co. sign him for? Does he get the "C", or does Regier trade for a veteran leader not named Drury? <_< C'mon with the Drury stuff. It's over. He'll be lucky if anyone offers him a contract.

sabres1970 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 Given the option between giving Luke Adam a whole year to develop or havin a 34 year old washed up vet, I'm sure they'll go with the youth.
deluca67 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 Given the option between giving Luke Adam a whole year to develop or havin a 34 year old washed up vet, I'm sure they'll go with the youth. I'd rather see the Sabres group of centers include both. Drury is nowhere near the player he once was. That doesn't mean his presence wouldn't improve the position. Right now Paul Gaustad is the #2 and Cody McCormick is the #3. The Sabres need centers. I would prefer they trade for a better center. If that isn't possible I would like see some centers with NHL experience at training camp.

If that isn't possible I would like see some centers with NHL experience at training camp. I agree with this. I don't know that Drury is the answer specifically, but I'm not sold on Luke Adam being ready for the NHL and won't be until he proves otherwise -- and that goes beyond just performing well in training camp. So in other words, unless Luke Adam had a heck of an off-season training regiment, I would prefer Drury (knee problems and all) to Adam if no center is brought in via trade.
shrader Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 Here's a quick pointer for you. We've talked about these subjects extensively over the last month or two. You might want to search for them before starting a new thread. Some people might not respond so well.
Vandaman26 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Luke Adam hasn't proven himself yet. I would rather see Kassian up than Adam. Let's face it, we need to get tougher players like Boston has and Kassian in my mind starting the year with the Sabres adds to Regehr's, Gaustad's and McCormick's tenacity.

So Adam hasn't proven himself yet but Kassian belongs up? Regardless of what your answer to that is, Kassian doesn't do anything for this center issue that is being discussed here.
Vandaman26 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Btw, why are we worrying about centers, we have four in Roy, Leino (played LW for Philly), Gaustad and McCormick.
Charlemagne Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 if he signs for less than 1 million why not. Otherwise I wouldn't want him

Does he get the "C", or does Regier trade for a veteran leader not named Drury? <_< Please no. Had Drury never been a sabre I doubt very much his name would even be mentioned here in sabrespace in our search for a centre. Some sabres fans just can't seem to let go. His time has come and gone.

HopefulFuture Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Is this seriously being discussed still?
SDS Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 If Drury re-signs, how much and long does Darcy and. Co. sign him for? Does he get the "C", or does Regier trade for a veteran leader not named Drury? <_> Thanks for signing up. If you are completely new, it might be better to read for a few weeks, or go bnack and read what has been written the last month or so and you'll get a better feel for where everyone is in their conversation.

RazielSabre Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 As much as I'd like to see him back on a 1 year contract it would stop propsects like Adams from having a shot, so I think it's better that he gets a shot somewhere else. Poor bugger does deserve another shot somewhere though.
thesportsbuff Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 I don't think Drury would help this team. I don't think Drury is worth the risk of injury. I don't think Drury will ever score 20 goals again, let alone 25-30. I don't even know if Buffalo, as a city, would WELCOME Drury back after he pretty much sold out to join the Rangers... and yet, for SOME reason, the thought of Drury back in the #23 Blue & Gold sweater is tantalizing. When he was here he was like... the model hockey player. A real winner. He's not the player he used to be, and I wouldn't recommend signing him... but will I be mad if they do? No way.
PromoTheRobot Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Drury and the Sabres need to mend the rift, even to just retire a Sabre. One-year deal, small money would be great. He's still a good influence. PTR
Eleven Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Swamp, always one of my favorite videos...thanks for making it reappear.
