Hoss Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) (This thread is pre-approved by nfreeman) So we've seen some big movement on former Sabres today: Christian Ehrhoff to Pittsburgh for one year, $4M. Ryan Miller to Vancouver for three years, $18M. Thomas Vanek to Minnesota for three years, $19.5M. TJ Brennan to New York Islanders for one year, one-way deal. Discuss. Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun Vanek deal includes a NTC Vanek reportedly turned down more money/term elsewhere. Edited July 1, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote

dudacek Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Ryan looked subdued in his Canuck presser. Makes sense from the family perspective, but I'm not sure if this is where he saw himself a few months ago. Quote
Stoner Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Ryan looked subdued in his Canuck presser. Makes sense from the family perspective, but I'm not sure if this is where he saw himself a few months ago. He would look subdued on a Jet Ski. Quote
SwampD Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 He would look subdued on a Jet Ski. :lol: Quote

Taro T Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 No, this is about former Sabres. Not THAT Cody; Cody Tkachuk. ;) Quote
Taro T Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 John Scott to SJ Good for him. So much for the Isles grabbing every ex-Sabre that TM wants nothing to do with. Quote
Doohicksie Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Former Sabres thread So if it's no longer a Sabres thread, what kind of a thread is it now? Quote
biodork Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 John Scott to SJ https://twitter.com/...423919567261696 Bummer. I know most folks were down on him, but I liked the guy. Yeah, he's slow and lumbering and won't play most nights, but he had a great attitude and even stepped in on D when injuries required it. (And he had fantastic eyebrows. And I wanted to see Ennis wearing his helmet.) Quote
nobody Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Poor John Scott - all he wanted was to be taken seriously as a hockey player. #SJSharks' GM Wilson on signing John Scott: "As we integrate more younger players to our team, John's presence alone can act as a deterrent" Quote

I wasn't nearly as down on him as others either, he made the best of what he had. I don't mind Cody Mc, but no one is going to think twice about doing something that requires answering the bell to him. Edited July 2, 2014 by MattPie Quote

I don't mind Cody Mc, but no one is going to think twice about doing something that requires answering the bell to him. I liked Scott too. Problem was that he couldn't even look at an opposing player wrong without the refs coming down on him. Not sure if this was the case with other enforcers in the league, but it certainly made him less relevant. Quote
dudacek Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Mud berry is right. Scott was a good guy, but the enormous target put on him by officials meant he could no longer play his role effectively. I hope Deslauriers and Cody can handle the rough stuff. At least Mitchell, Kaleta, Weber, Gorges, Foligno and Stewart can handle themselves and the overall lineup isn't as soft as it once was. Hodgson Ennis and Reinhart are the only guys I am afraid for.

Two or less Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Sorry in advance if it was mentioned somewhere else, but Cory Conacher signed with the Isles. Quote
