darksabre Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Great now we're stuck with him. Good job. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Great now we're stuck with him. Good job. It was my plan all along... I'm. Secretly a closet Leino lover And by that logic, I did tank nation a huggggggee favor next year ;) Edited January 26, 2014 by wyldnwoody44 Quote
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 I am actually starting to feel bad for the guy, it almost looks like he is literally trying so hard he is failing Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Tank Commander should stay for now. He contributes to the tank and eats up salary cap floor. In the future, maybe after next season, we can reevaluate him. Maybe he'll find it again during that time, and make it worth it to keep him, but probably not. Not with this roster. Quote
HopefulFuture Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 IKnowPhysics is correct. We keep the Tank Commander for cap floor reasons. I will say when we do jettison him I'm personally hoping he signs with another team, even for a year or 2 just so I can listen to another fan base bitch about him :D Quote
Rasmus_ Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 When and if the "Usual Suspects", are traded, amnesty him. One could argue who has more to offer John Scott or Leino and his bloated salary. Quote
Kristian Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 I am actually starting to feel bad for the guy, it almost looks like he is literally trying so hard he is failing I'll never feel sorry for someone making so much money while doing so very little. Quote
deluca67 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 So, how many days till the "Hodgson needs to go!" thread? Quote
LGR4GM Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Is "Tank Commander" the most ironically bad-ass nickname for a guy on this team? Quote
Rasmus_ Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 So, how many days till the "Hodgson needs to go!" thread? NEVER! Quote
Eleven Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Lets see who gets to close his thread first. Quote
LaLaLaFontaine Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Hmm the Stafford needs to go thread has 1239 more post, but in my opinion Leino needs to go first. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Posted January 26, 2014 Lets see who gets to close his thread first. I'll go down biting and scratching ;) Quote
Jsixspd Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 hahahahaha, I LOVE this topic. BTW, any word on the status after the injury last night? Amazing how much he gets hurt for a guy who tries to stay out of the thick of things, and is mostly irrelevant in every game. Quote
LTS Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 This thread is as useless as the player. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Posted January 26, 2014 I think the player is useless by at least 7 more Quote
Jsixspd Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Leino was credited with an assist the other night.... his first point in a very long time. As far as an 'assist', apparently it was by falling flat on his face in front of the opponent's goal, I called it a 'sympathy point' when I saw it. :) Quote
kishoph Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Leino was credited with an assist the other night.... his first point in a very long time. As far as an 'assist', apparently it was by falling flat on his face in front of the opponent's goal, I called it a 'sympathy point' when I saw it. Some of the assist that are given out seem to be given for "sympathy points", or some other lame reason, other than an earned assist. Omark was given an assist the other night after he lost the puck at the blue line to Florida player, who in return lost it to Stafford, who passed it to Ott and Ott passed it back to Stafford for the goal. That was 2 players that had the puck after Omark, how that adds up to an assist for Omark is confusing to me. Quote
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Tank Commander. My God who came up with that one? Ingenious! :worthy: Quote
matter2003 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Maybe they can change his jersey name to "Lame-O" Quote

IKnowPhysics is correct. We keep the Tank Commander for cap floor reasons. I will say when we do jettison him I'm personally hoping he signs with another team, even for a year or 2 just so I can listen to another fan base bitch about him :D See here's the issue: compliance/amnesty buyouts, unless I'm mistaken, can only be used at the end of this year. After that in order to jettison Leino the Sabres either have to find a trade partner or normal-buyout which cuts into the cap. I don't know who is going to trade for him, and I'd hate if a few years down the road that cap penalty would be killing the team from bringing a good trade or UFA. Buy Leino out with one of the two compliance boyouts, and give some scrub a 1-year $6M contract (John Scott!) each year until we need the space for a UFA worth that money.

waldo Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 The next Sabres sick puppy? Oh such fun! Fans have to hate. lol . Is he the next in a long line of Sabre sick puppies who have left and become sucessfull NHLers elsewhere? Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Someone should make him captain, he'll be gone so fast :P Quote
