X. Benedict Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 HockeyBreak Hockey Break Buffalo Sabres interested in Tuomo Ruutu. Rumor is were looking at a big body....I have no idea who we would have to give up tho...as the reason hes on the block is cap issues. Anyone remember the last Carolina/Buffalo trade? I don't think there has ever been one.

Ruutu was mentioned, along with Ray Bourque on Tuesday's "Insider Trading" on TSN. Someone just attached Buffalo to it.
shrader Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Anyone remember the last Carolina/Buffalo trade? I don't think there has ever been one. Weren't they involved in the deal that send Kotalik to Edmonton for the 2nd round pick?
X. Benedict Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Weren't they involved in the deal that send Kotalik to Edmonton for the 2nd round pick? I forget. I think somehow we got their second rounder somehow, but not a direct trade.

I think somehow we got their second rounder somehow, but not a direct trade. It was a four team deal We gave Toronto Moore for a 2nd rd pick Sabres gave Kotes to Oilers for a 2nd Oilers traded a bunch of players including Cole to Carolina for O'Sullivan and the 2nd.
Eleven Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Maybe Kassie (hehe) develops ahead of the curve like Adam. Here's hoping! Sorry didn't make it clear, i mean I think he'll earn a shot soon, as in probably a few games by season end and maybe at least half the season next year. It's a prediction/guess. As the magic 8-ball says, "signs point to no." I don't think Kassian has the maturity necessary for a quick jump.
inkman Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 As the magic 8-ball says, "signs point to no." I don't think Kassian has the maturity necessary for a quick jump. As an Amerks season ticket holder and an advocator of prospect development, heres hoping you are right.
LGR4GM Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Ruutu was mentioned, along with Ray Bourque on Tuesday's "Insider Trading" on TSN. Someone just attached Buffalo to it. Now Bourque I find interesting, especially considering we have an extra 2nd round pick from a team that may be just about to start saying "SELL!" because they need a complete rebuild. No theories or ideas from me, i know better now but Bourque or Ruutu as a sabre would be interesting and IMHO better than Boyes.
Samson's Flow Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 I don't know the answer to this one, but when was the last time a trade was made 5-10 games into the season? It just seems like these rumors came out of nowhere and I think most of these type of trades happen at the deadline. Could this just be some ecklund joker making up a rumor to get hits?

Samson's Flow Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Two trades happened yesterday, so yesterday. I knew I was going to catch flak for that. Figures as soon as I mention it everyone gets all trade happy. I think that Booth trade is a steal btw ;)

JJFIVEOH Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 For who? :lol: One more blow to the head and Booth's career is over.He hasn't been the same since Richard's hit. Not to mention the two concussions he's had since.

Not to mention the two concussions he's had since. Even so, Booth is the only player in that trade that has the potential to be meaningful on an NHL roster. The rest of them are 3rd-4th liners at best.

darksabre Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Sabres saying Hecht actually isn't ready to return yet. Can I get a "whatever"?
Samson's Flow Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 But if you're trying to dump money like Florida is constantly doing... ...then you shouldn't be in the NHL? :thumbsup: I understand both sides of the trade, just saying in terms of talent I think the side that gets Booth wins hands down.
korab rules Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Posted October 24, 2011 Sabres saying Hecht actually isn't ready to return yet. Can I get a "whatever"? Woah. Link for this? If he is seriously still recovering from the concussion at this point his career could be in jeopardy. He suffered a concussion at the end of last season that kept him out for the playoffs, was off all summer, and then suffered a new concussion and/or experienced a recurrence of symptoms tying his skates in training camp. He is entering Connolly territory at this point.

To put him in the same category as a guy who essentially missed two entire seasons due to concussion issues is a major stretch.

To put him in the same category as a guy who essentially missed two entire seasons due to concussion issues is a major stretch. 6 months and counting at this point. Any word on whether he is a full out participant in practice? He was supposed to be going through some ramped up physical play in practice to test his readiness. Is that still happening or have they backed off? If he didn't respond well to the physical play we are back to no timetable for his return. With Ennis out and Hecht not ready is Ellis in or do we have our first call up of the season?
LabattBlue Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 With Ennis out and Hecht not ready is Ellis in or do we have our first call up of the season? With the farm team now only an hour away and the Sabres on an extended home stand, I'd expect Ellis to go in the lineup, and no call ups at this time.

Funny. I was thinking that the reasons you cite for Ellis going in would make it really easy to bring someone up. My suspicion is that they won't, though, only because it's so early in the season. The kids are just getting settled in down there.
LabattBlue Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Sabres saying Hecht actually isn't ready to return yet. Can I get a "whatever"? How do you feel about Hecht now that Leino has begged out of the center position?
