darksabre Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 i believe that ott is filling the position of the concept of paul gaustad. could darcy be done with this one? will he go into camp with his nhl centers being hodgson, ennis, ott, and mccormick? (i am leaving grigor out of it.) Yup, "concept of paul gaustad". You beat me to it. I think he's done. Hodgson, Ennis and Ott are your centers. I think he expects Girgorenko to make the roster as well.
Rico7 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Not a Roy fan at all, but am i supposed to be excited about this?
nucci Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Meh. Happy to see Ott a Sabre, but I think I'd still take a healthy, 70 point Roy instead. Surprised we couldn't get more for him. Roy has scored 70 or more points only twice in his career.
sabres1970 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 i believe that ott is filling the position of the concept of paul gaustad. could darcy be done with this one? will he go into camp with his nhl centers being hodgson, ennis, ott, and mccormick? (i am leaving grigor out of it.) That sounds like a piss poor offensive team to me. Hodgson is a total wild card, Ennis showed he can be a real good number 2 center but isn't proven, Ott is Gaustad and Mccormick is a guy who'll drop the gloves every three games but that's it. So where's the beef? (Beef equaling offense haha).
darksabre Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 don't hold back, man. :lol: Not a chance. I've been waiting a long time for this day. :pirate: I'm drinkin some beers tonight!
Taro T Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 i believe that ott is filling the position of the concept of paul gaustad. could darcy be done with this one? will he go into camp with his nhl centers being hodgson, ennis, ott, and mccormick? (i am leaving grigor out of it.) I'd expect he'll try to get another C, but that does look like what they'll head into the season with. I know Ott is listed as a LW, but he took over 1,000 draws last season and won 55% of them. Sounds like the guy to 'center' for Leino on the 3rd line. Let 'em cover the position by committee if no one else comes into the or-gan-i-za-tion..
FolignosJock Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Yup, "concept of paul gaustad". You beat me to it. I think he's done. Hodgson, Ennis and Ott are your centers. I think he expects Girgorenko to make the roster as well. nope more coming....... hockey insider is on it
darksabre Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Up in the air on the trade, it's whatever. But I've been suspended for posting much less offensive things so be careful :flirt: I'm not afraid. :D
thesportsbuff Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Roy has scored 70 or more points only twice in his career. Thank you for backing up my post with statistics. He has seasons with 63 points, 81 points, 70 points, and 69 points before his injury shortened season (on pace for 82 pts at time of injury) and his down year last-season. So yes, 70 points is a fair benchmark for potential.
thesportsbuff Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 To me, this move all but eliminates Kaleta from the team's plans. We'll see, but I can't see the Sabres heading into the season with Kaleta, Ott, McCormick and Scott on the roster.
spndnchz Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 i need to know this: who among us were the biggest/earliest ott supporters? and, yes, i know -- i asked the same question the other day. Just about everybody!

That Aud Smell Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 oh hell yes https://twitter.com/otter2nine/status/219913717737988096
FolignosJock Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Rick nash now being associated with buffalo.....
That Aud Smell Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Just about everybody! fair enough ... but there were leaders in this regard. weave for sure.
... Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Unless the Sabres are officially in rebuilding mode, there's no way Darcy is done. I can't believe I'm saying, that, too. Wow, Darcy has nearly hit the reset button for me. I say again: Yaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
LastPommerFan Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Bucky tweeting that trade is a result of roy opening his mouth...
sabres1970 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Sorry to be that guy but what can we offer the Ducks now? I thought Roy would be the figure piece for a trade for Ryan.
thesportsbuff Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 I agree a healthy 70pt roy would be great. But I think Healthy 70pt roy had a career ending leg injury in 2010-2011. Lol, +1 (wish we could still do that). You may be right. Sorry to be that guy but what can we offer the Ducks now? I thought Roy would be the figure piece for a trade for Ryan. Rumors I've read have said the Ducks want Ennis in a deal involving Ryan. Obviously that can't happen since we are now short on centers once again, so I'm not sure what to expect.
FolignosJock Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Bucky tweeting that trade is a result of roy opening his mouth... bucky is an idiot.
... Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Sorry to be that guy but what can we offer the Ducks now? I thought Roy would be the figure piece for a trade for Ryan. Why Ryan? Let them find a center for Vanek and Pommers.
RazielSabre Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Well thats rebuilt our bottom 2 lines as follows for me: Leino-Ott-Kaleta(RFA) Gerbe/Ellis-McCormick-Scott Pending further moves, am I about right? Why Ryan? Let them find a center for Vanek and Pommers. I'm happy with Ennis and Hodgson for top 2 lines C atm I have to say.
darksabre Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Lol, +1 (wish we could still do that). You may be right. Rumors I've read have said the Ducks want Ennis in a deal involving Ryan. Obviously that can't happen since we are now short on centers once again, so I'm not sure what to expect. They can have Ennis if they toss in Koivu.
