Peter Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Does that mean no playoffs this year? This may have something to do with it - may not want to play for Jordan Nolan's dad? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/jordan-nolan-not-suspended-putting-rusty-klesla-stretcher-000308834--nhl.html Quote
Brawndo Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Does anyone know if the Sabres have any recourse with Washington? Quote
Eleven Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Does anyone know if the Sabres have any recourse with Washington? This is the only thing I care about. The guy wasn't exactly part of the future. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Does anyone know if the Sabres have any recourse with Washington? They have to give us Ovi. Quote
wjag Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 I'd settle for a draft pick, 4th or 5th would be okay. Quote
Brawndo Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 He and Omark are starting a band. Cool they can call it "Bara säga nej till Rochester" Quote
bunomatic Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Mmmm. I wonder if the Capitals knew about his desire to take a break ? Quote
Jeanbe Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Well I assume we drop his salary then. Watched him play games here in Phx and he was a 5 or 6. No great loss. We took on the salary IMO. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Looks like Rusty's NHL career has ended with a thud. Whatever. Quote
Marvelo Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 wonder if there's an NHL rule is when something like this happens? Quote
Eleven Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 wonder if there's an NHL rule is when something like this happens? The guy's career is over if it even started. He probably should never have crossed the Atlantic. Who cares. Let him go. Quote
pastajoe Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Shanahan will give Ted Nolan a 5 game suspension for Intimidation of a Player causing early retirement. The downside is he was expected to boost the Amerks D for their playoff run. Quote
Marvelo Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 The guy's career is over if it even started. He probably should never have crossed the Atlantic. Who cares. Let him go. No, I don't care about him although I think the Amerks were counting on him being a replacement for McNabb. What I mean is are the Sabres entitled to further compensation? Quote

Shanahan will give Ted Nolan a 5 game suspension for Intimidation of a Player causing early retirement. The downside is he was expected to boost the Amerks D for their playoff run. Sabres most definitely should ask for compensation for the reason bolded. Quote

I am definitely not the board's biggest Amerks fan; I understand completely if those who are fans of Roch want compensation. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 First LaFontaine leaving, and now THIS?!? I'm going to have to drink a beer now...well, another beer Quote
nfreeman Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 My impression on him has been that the Sabres had to take on him and his salary in order to get Neuvirth. So him bailing is actually a benefit for the Sabres. Quote
Eleven Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Dooooon't caaaaaare There's one Amerks fan speaking. My impression on him has been that the Sabres had to take on him and his salary in order to get Neuvirth. So him bailing is actually a benefit for the Sabres. Fine by me. Quote
Stoner Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 The guy's career is over if it even started. He probably should never have crossed the Atlantic. Who cares. Let him go. He did play almost 700 NHL games. I'm not sure what you're driving at. Dooooon't caaaaaare I think you have to care when the franchise looks like such a tire fire that players don't want to play for it. Quote
