bob_sauve28 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I guess he didn't get the memo, though. Says we will be trying to make the playoffs... Quote

LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I already like him... seems like much better Mike Weber but I respect that. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I guess he didn't get the memo, though. Says we will be trying to make the playoffs... I'm fine with that. I trust that the Isles will be terrible and we can still get our guy in the draft with their pick! Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I'm fine with that. I trust that the Isles will be terrible and we can still get our guy in the draft with their pick! Great! But what are we going to do with all these tanks? Have a garage sale? Quote
X. Benedict Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I already like him... seems like much better Mike Weber but I respect that. Much better than Weber. He'll log top 4 minutes. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I guess he didn't get the memo, though. Says we will be trying to make the playoffs... That's exactly what we want the players to believe. They're wrong, of course, but we want that attitude. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Much better than Weber. He'll log top 4 minutes. I think Weber will be gone at the trade deadline. Love his heart, but he just doesn't have enough skill with the puck on his stick to be effective. Quote
Brawndo Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Dave Davis @DaveDavisHockey 8s Gorges tells TSN the Sabres were not originally on his list. Quote
dudacek Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) On TSN. Montreal ripped his heart out. Talked around Leaf rejection - rivalry definitely was one of the reasons he refused Toronto. Sounds like Buffalo was originally on his no trade list. Waived NT clause because Likes Pegula and Nolan. Wants to be a leader for good young improving team. Edited July 1, 2014 by dudacek Quote
Iron Crotch Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Great! But what are we going to do with all these tanks? Have a garage sale? I look at it this way... everything the Isles do turns to crap. It's almost predictable that they defer the pick to us for next year then finish dead last. That's just an Isles sort of thing to do! Quote
Pville29 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I like this trade a lot. I've watched this guy play a lot in montreal and he's going to be one buffalo best player this year. Quote

CallawaySabres Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 This so fits the plan to a T that it's not even funny - love it! Leader on D, bring in Gionta for leader on O - boom! Oh how Toronto just got so bitch slapped. Moulson and Ott still in the mix.......this team is starting to come to life without ruining the tank. Quote
beerme1 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I'm sure he likes the fact he gets to continue hating on the Leafs lol Quote

At least it will be fun hockey to watch, even if we're losing. Quote
SouthernSabre Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) 3years 4.25m, per Pierre LeBrun. Edited July 1, 2014 by SouthernSabre Quote
LTS Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 The Sabres can aim for the playoffs. they are going to fall short, have a shot a the top pick and still get the second pick overall from the Islanders (if they don't win it). So.. it's good! They replaced most of Ehrhoff's salary with this signing as well. Love the trade. a 2nd in 2016 for him? Awesome! Quote
matter2003 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Surprising Montreal would trade him to a division rival... Quote
Taro T Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Surprising Montreal would trade him to a division rival... If they were willing to send him to the Loafs, they MIGHT have been willing to talk to the B's. Though had the Nords remained in place, probably would have even spoken to them; though they'd've put an IED in his hockey bag. Quote
