Lanny Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 FWIW, I don't get the feeling Boyes is being moved at all. I don't think anyone wants him.
CallawaySabres Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 So IF Roy is moved, is it safe to say this is the C lineup until at least July 1 Ennis Adam McCormick Player sent back in return from either Gaustad or Roy trade? I am starting to REALLY realize how screwed this team is going to be up the middle.....

obstructedorangeseats Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I don't think anyone wants him. Have the Sabres become the island of misfit toys?
Eleven Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Posted February 27, 2012 Hasn't Ellis been playing center on the fourth line lately? Yes, but that kind of just furthers Callaway's point.
darksabre Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Have the Sabres become the island of misfit toys? I certainly think that's what many of us perceive them as being.
papazoid Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Sabres supposedly asking for a young top 6 forward and a prospect or pick for Roy. i would trade Roy for a bag of pucks, just to clear salary cap space.
Punch Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Yes, but that kind of just furthers Callaway's point. Plus, McCormick did in fact fail his concussion test, so he's not making the west coast trip. That means unless we're getting a center back and Roy/Gaustad out we're looking at Szechuan.
CallawaySabres Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Hasn't Ellis been playing center on the fourth line lately? Yes, but when I thought about putting Ellis in the 4th line, it just looked waaayyyy too disturbing......
Punch Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I don't think that would be the worst thing in the world. I didn't dislike his play during his earlier call-up. I agree, at least in the short term. I would hate to go into 2012-13 with that group so we'd need to hope for a big move in the offseason with these theoretical 1st/2nd picks Darcy should be stockpiling.

We've got some prospects and journeymen in Rochester that could help carry us through the rest of the year, which makes losing Gaustad, Roy, et al. (hopefully) tenable. Edit: "losing" is the wrong word...moving perhaps, especially for those of us who see moving Roy as addition by subtraction.
apuszczalowski Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Spacek might be on the move very soon again. Al Montoya of the Isles may be the goalie moved there since they want to keep Nabokov No he's right, I heard Cody wrong. Don't be down about being wrong, Cody has a head injury, and for all we know, he may believe and said that he passed his test
shrader Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Lunch time for me. Here come your deals...
nfreeman Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Pierre is a buffalo hating fool. Gaustad is the equivalent or better of guys who have already moved for a second round pick. The teams that are inquiring will be very low first round picks. How is that ridiculous? He asks for a first they offer a second, he moves for a second and a 4th or mid level prospect. People who negotiate for a living understand - pierre babbles incessantly and makes bedroom eyes at players for a living. I don't particularly like McGuire either, but don't you think a #1 is a bit rich for Gaustad? Sabres supposedly asking for a young top 6 forward and a prospect or pick for Roy. I can see this. Plus, McCormick did in fact fail his concussion test, so he's not making the west coast trip. That means unless we're getting a center back and Roy/Gaustad out we're looking at Szechuan. Fine with me. Get as much as you can get for Roy and Gaustad and use the rest of the year to figure out whether Tropp and/or Chewie can play in the NHL next year.
Punch Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 What's the deal with Incarcerated Bob? I've heard he's had info in the past but he's outright declaring done deals with players that have not been moved: Incarcerated Bob @incarceratedbob Ok lets get back into the trades.. Oduya gone.. Spacek gone.. Guastad gone.. #IBNTradeCentre (Already broke AK Trade) we rolling
Sterling Archer Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Apparently, every moron who thinks he has the inside is screaming Gaustad is done. Although, I think they are just screaming it at each other.
Patty16 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 He's "broken" a few trades a while ago that havent been announced. Like Goose being traded an hour ago, and no one has the scoop and call hasnt been made. Eklund-esque.

Trying to promote some radio show out of NYC. Like darts on a wall he's bound to be right once in a while.

nobody Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 No diff than eklund I need to stop replying - I'm 4th in all my replies.
JJFIVEOH Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Could DR be trying to stockpile high draft picks to use as trade bait for a real #1 center possibly during the offseason? Been hearing the going price for Gaustad and Roy is 1st round picks for each with more thrown in for Roy. That would be three 1st rounders and two 2nd rounders for next year.
spndnchz Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 That's what I'd love to see. Chip Alexander for the Raleigh News & Observer--- Spacek has reportedly been shopped aggressively and Allen is an UFA that the 'canes have publicly stated is not available: Chip Alexander @ice_chip Allen, Spacek were not in locker room after practice when media came in. Canes have told Allen he's not getting moved.

I hate these schmucks and hate myself more for reading their self serving groundless tweets.

I hate these schmucks and hate myself more for reading their self serving groundless tweets. I read that too. You tend to get crucified here for posting Ek stuff, even in a rumor thread.
