Tondas Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Should Stewart even play tomorrow? Coming off a great game. Why risk it? Quote
CallawaySabres Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 IKP might be onto something Chris Kuc @ChrisKuc 37s 37 seconds ago Source: #Blackhawks and Capitals have had dialogue about possible trade involving Patrick Sharp. Don't be surprised when you find out that Sharp is bangin someone's wife. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 If it means we win the Cup, Patrick Sharp can bang Brawndo's wife all he wants. Quote
Hoss Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Posted February 28, 2015 Should Stewart even play tomorrow? Coming off a great game. Why risk it? This will be interesting to see... Time to protect the assets. Quote
inkman Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Don't be surprised when you find out that Sharp is bangin someone's wife. It's been discussed is a dozen other threads for a week now, and I don't believe a word of it. Quote
Huckleberry Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Might be that im still drunk, but I'm not ready to write Hodgson off. Still think he is the most natural scorer we got at the moment and he has a wicked shot. Hope he gets it back next year. Quote

woods-racer Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 I have a Dream..... Stewart is traded to Boston for a conditional 1st in the 2015 draft. If Boston makes the playoff's this year, Sabres get Boston's 2016 1st. Boston squeaks into the playoffs, looses in the 1st round by some bad ref call, or who ever they play "cheats" (the Karma loss). Their fans are all Boston snarky (that seems to be a forum fav word), and demand justice. In 2016 they start out great, the fans are back to "Boston Proud", then pull a Islanders 2nd half of the season tank job. They finish tenth in the East. But thanks to the new lottery system, they wind up with the magic ball, and in the 2016 draft we hear AGAIN!!! With the FIRST over pick in the 2016 draft the Buffalo Sabres pick........ I have a dream.... Quote

deluca67 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Hodgson isn't getting bought out, he's getting a new coach...and then traded once he resuscitates his value. Drew Stafford V2.0 Quote
woods-racer Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Discussing the 2016 draft seems more like a nightmare. Sabres make the playoffs, and get Boston's 1st overall, run with it..... come on be HAPPY! Quote
darksabre Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Drew Stafford V2.0 At least Drew could rock out. I bet Cody sings along to Enya in the shower. Quote

#freejame Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 I have a Dream..... Stewart is traded to Boston for a conditional 1st in the 2015 draft. If Boston makes the playoff's this year, Sabres get Boston's 2016 1st. Not to ruin your dream, but considering this years draft, there would be no way that the conditions weren't "2015 first if Boston makes playoffs; 2016 if Boston misses." As you have it now, it seems like if Boston misses the playoffs this season, we would have their 2015 lottery pick. Maybe that's what makes it a dream though. Quote

A no loose for the Sabres.... get Boston's chance at 1st overall, no matter the scenario.... I dream big! Quote

Still think he is the most natural scorer we got at the moment and he has a wicked shot. Hope he gets it back next year. Those things are not mutually exclusive ;) Separately, every time my phone goes off, I think it's a trade. One of these times I won't be disappointed. That said, if I were Murray, the only player I'd trade would be Stewart...and maybe Neuvirth. Keep the vets, make them cranky and disheartened about not being traded to a contender, and proceed to sleepwalk through the remaining games. I'm challenging all conventional wisdom! Quote
Brawndo Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Mats Zuccerello on the trade block, that's surprising https://twitter.com/katiestrangespn/status/571702115187466240 Quote
qwksndmonster Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 I like Zuko a lot. Dude has honor. Quote
GrassValleyGreg Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Anybody else starting to think that keeping Neuvirth might be the move? Obviously he is the only thing keeping this tank from finishing strong. And the tank should remain the number one priority. But we also need a backstop moving forward, and he is really starting to look like a NHL goaltender. Maybe his handling this year, the confidence instilled by Murray, and the realization now that he's a true number 1, has honed his mental game. He's always had the physical tools. Similar arc to his ex teammate Varlamov. I know he's a FA, but there is an advantage to having a window of contract negotiations for the remainder of the year. Quote

Why can't GMTM spin him off for an asset(s) now, preserve the tank, & tell Neuvirth on the way out the door, "This helps our future...we're coming for you this summer. We want you to be our #1 when we turn things around next year."? Quote
3putt Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 The idea that goaltending is an issue only has merit when the o and d start to come togethor. Serviceable goalies can be had relatively easy. Halak, Dubnyk, Crawford, hell Miller was available this summer. Goaltending is the least of our worries. Scoring is another matter. Quote

Serviceable goalies can be had relatively easy. Halak, Dubnyk, Crawford, hell Miller was available this summer. Goaltending is the least of our worries. Scoring is another matter. Corey Crawford of the Blackhawks? He's their franchise goalie. And I wouldn't feel comfortable with Dubnyk or Halak in the playoffs. You can't react to things only once they are an issue. You need some sort of plan. Proactive, not reactive. If we get McEichel next year plus free agents, we could very well make the playoffs. I'm not saying it's likely, but there is a possibility. TM has high opinion of talent that was selected in the first round. He obviously felt Neuv could develop into a quality tender if his mental game matured. Maybe TM bet on the right time in the kids development. I guess the broader question is: does the benefit of additional negotiating time with a guy who might be the goalie for this turnaround outweigh a possible tank killer? Quote
