Too bad. He'd bring a skill set that the Sabres really need. Would have also allowed Risto to be the 3rd D rather than top 2. Like a lot of what's happened this off-season, but would still like to see a vet that can be top 4 and a reasonable puck mover brought in. Still hoping one becomes available cheap when rosters get set though not expecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the Sabres want him then, that is true. Would be quite surprised to see that happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 More DUI's for the NHL: Wild AC Minnesota Wild assistant coach Darryl Sydor was arrested late Thursday afternoon and charged with impaired driving and child endangerment after a test revealed a blood alcohol content of .30 -- almost four times the legal limit in Minnesota. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/13484002/minnesota-wild-assistant-coach-darryl-sydor-charged-drunken-driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 He's still coming off an injury plagued season. What did you really think Ehrhoff was going to recoup. Especially at this time frame of the season. He took the best offer he could get a scratch at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 A random thought popped into my head today when hearing talk about Martin St. Louis retiring. Can anyone thing of other major trades like that where both teams wound up going to the Stanley Cup Final in back to back years like that? Or even better, where both teams faced each other like that? I'm sure there are a few if you look at minor trades, but captain for captain like this one was, that's obviously a much higher profile deal.

WildCard Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Best NHL team with a Salary Cap? Anyone agree? Jamie Benn ($5.25m) – Sidney Crosby ($8.7m) – Tyler Toffoli ($3.25m) Tomas Tatar ($2.75m) – John Tavares ($5.5m) – Kyle Okposo ($2.8m) Ondrej Palat ($3.333m) – Tyler Johnson ($3.333m) – Alex Semin ($1.1m) Jason Zucker ($0.90025m) – Cody Eakin ($1.9m) – Justin Fontaine ($1m) Total Forward Cap Hit: $38,816,916 Duncan Keith ($5.538m) – Erik Karlsson ($6.5m) Victor Hedman ($4m) – Justin Faulk ($4.833m) Karl Alzner ($2.8m) – Tyson Barrie ($2.6m) Total Defense Cap Hit: $26,271,694 Craig Anderson ($4.2m) Eddie Lack ($1.15m) Total Goalie Cap Hit: $5,350,000 Total Team Cap Hit: $70,438,610 http://thehockeywriters.com/cap-crunch-best-possible-nhl-team-within-salary-cap/ Personally, I take out Barrie/Alzner, replace them with cheaper alternatives, so I can have a better bottom 6 (Semin, really?) Also, he has one big rule: "Additionally, not only will I not include any rookies in my roster, but I’ll also refrain from using any entry-level contracts at all" Edited August 25, 2015 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem all-together likely now, but it would go a long way towards making me think we actually had a decent chance of contending for a playoff spot next season. Without an addition on D, playoffs are a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Without an addition on D, playoffs are a long shot. I know what the popular wisdom is around here, but I'm not sure I buy into that pessimism. I think it's entirely possible, maybe even likely, that the Sabres make the playoffs this year. I don't think it hinges on one top-4 D as much as how long it takes Bylsma to get his system implemented. Comparably, the Texas Rangers were on a downslide after making it to the World Series a couple of years ago. They only have three regular field players left over from those teams though, and pitching was a mess. They brought in a new manager and they were the worst team in the majors in April. They're now in a wildcard spot, only 3.5 games out of the division lead. The difference is a lot of youth and a good system implemented by the manager. The Sabres could very well follow a similar trajectory this year. When you look at how much the Sabres would have to improve (points-wise) to get there, it sounds like a monumental task. But the past is over, and really, this year's Sabres have almost nothing to do with the teams that tanked. Yeah, some of the players are carry-over, but I don't see *anyone* playing the way the team played last year. By the first month of the season I think Bylsma will have eliminated the bad habits. Then we'll have a better idea if the team has a legitimate playoff shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
