Brawndo Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I doubted Spezza, too. But there's been nonstop talk about a "mystery" team in the East. Since just about everybody has been mentioned I started wondering. I just don't think Ottawa would do it. Would Spezza do it? Quote
Hoss Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Would Spezza do it? Apparently we're not on his no-trade list. Who knows. I don't think it's going to happen. Just thought maybe the odds were slightly higher than I first thought. Doesn't make sense at the moment, though. Edited June 27, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote
X. Benedict Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I like Deslauriers' game. He plays hard. The first time that I watched him in Rochester I was shocked just how big he is. This kid is a hulk. I remember that fight and what it did to the Isles' bench. I'm not condoning a full on "Good Friday massacre" type of play, but it is nice to see a Sabre pound some ones face... I for one look forward to next year... I think he'll be our Chris Neil. Quote
dudacek Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I think he'll be our Chris Neil. He needs to get meaner, but it's possible. I like him in our bottom six. Quote

Hoss Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Nevermind. 26's wording was confusing. Edited June 28, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote
Iron Crotch Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Paul Hamilton says all Sabres' RFAs will not receive qualifying offers. Deadline is tomorrow. Yep. Mike Harrington @BNHarrington 23m Murray said #Sabres will likely not give qualifying offers to all their RFAs...Conacher, Ruhwedel and McBain are the 3 hanging. This makes me happy. Get rid of the dead weight. @BuffaloSabres: Murray says he has been trying to acquire a veteran player via trade who will help with culture on #Sabres. I'm honestly starting to think Spezza may be possible... Nashville and Ottawa had a trade worked out for Spezza. And, Spezza refused to go to Nashville. ######. Quote

Johnny DangerFace Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Paul Hamilton says all Sabres' RFAs will not receive qualifying offers. Deadline is tomorrow. Well that can't be true Quote
Iron Crotch Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Fisher couldn't sell him on picking up a country singer wife? I'm old and married, but the women in this town (Nashville) are spectacular. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Well that can't be true Edited the post for clarity to read: Paul Hamilton says not all Sabres' RFAs will receive qualifying offers. Deadline is tomorrow. Quote
Hoss Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 @Aportzline: Told #Sabres were pursuing a trade with #CBJ for Umberger before he was traded to #Flyers for Hartnell. Don't know the return. Quote
Peppy22 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 ok.... so? C - Girgensons A - Reinhart A - McCabe Quote
Hoss Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 ok.... so? C - Girgensons A - Reinhart A - McCabe More like C - Orpik A - Jovanovski A - Vrbata But the lineup currently looks something like: ???/Ennis/Stafford Hodgson/Girgensons/Stewart Foligno/???/??? ???/Flynn/Mitchell Myers/Weber ???/??? ???/??? Enroth/Neuvirth Now we could obviously see guys like Reinhart, Risto, McCabe, Larsson and Ellis in some of those spots, but boy are there a lot of holes. Quote

We can put Ellis and Pysyk on the Sabres next year. Even with them the lineup looks like a top two pick in the 2015 Draft Quote
Hoss Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 We can put Ellis and Pysyk on the Sabres next year. Even with them the lineup looks like a top two pick in the 2015 Draft Completely omitted Pysyk by accident. I think he'll become a huge minutes eater. Quote
Brawndo Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Completely omitted Pysyk by accident. I think he'll become a huge minutes eater. No problem Tank. BTW completely off the subject of hockey which LECOM Campus is your girlfriend attending: Erie, Seton Hill or Brandenton? I graduated from Erie in 2005. Quote

I graduated from Erie in 2005. First, I should ask: how did you know about that? Haha, no offense or anything, it's just been a while since this subject came up on here. Quote
inkman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 We can put Ellis and Pysyk on the Sabres next year. Even with them the lineup looks like a top two pick in the 2015 Draft I don't really care wha the lineup looks like this season but why do you feel Ellis should be in the lineup? Quote
Brawndo Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 First, I should ask: how did you know about that? Haha, no offense or anything, it's just been a while since this subject came up on here. You had mentioned it in an earlier thread about two months ago, which was locked before I had a chance to ask this same question. I was writing a letter of recommendation for a very eager pre med student applying to LECOM for August 2015 and I remembered she was starting there soon. If you do not want to share no offense taken. I probably should have DM'd you rather then asking in a public thread Quote

I probably should have DM'd you rather then asking in a public thread No, it's fine. She's likely headed to Erie. Not really by choice, but she may have chosen it anyways if it were her choice.

Brawndo Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 I don't really care wha the lineup looks like this season but why do you feel Ellis should be in the lineup? NHL rules require a 23 man roster, is the best reason I could come up with. Quote
nfreeman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 We can put Ellis and Pysyk on the Sabres next year. Even with them the lineup looks like a top two pick in the 2015 Draft No. Please. I can't take another season with Ellis up for more than a cup of coffee. Quote
