Given various hints that Sabres- and league-watchers are dropping, and Anderson’s presser yesterday, it seems likely there is a market for him.

If Anderson could put 4-5 games together like early in the season he will be their most valuable trade piece.

A seasoned vet goalie on league minimum salary is invaluable to teams terrified of running out of goalies in these playoffs.

Florida is the really hot rumor. He has a house there, be a big favor to him if Buffalo would send him there is what I was hearing. We may trade him for a bag of pucks but Anderson may sign on another vet minimum deal in return.

Ah yes, the team that commemorates every Civil War battle fought in Ohio by paying more than their team salary in music rights to AC/DC.

Funny story. There actually was a plot to take over and free Confederate prisoners on Johnson's Island in Sandusky Bay, steal a Lake Craft -- Forget the name USS Michigan maybe-- but it is on display in an Erie Pa museum, and shell Buffalo. This was in 1864

They've been a good pairing. The best defensive pair we've had in 10 years?

The Concept Of (the Defensive Pair) is with you, @woods-racer, but you are not a Jedi Fitzgerald doesn't play at NHL speed yet.

No he doesn't. But we haven't been very good defensively for 10 years. Dahlin is far and away our best defenseman, but him and Joker are not a good defensive pairing. A RHD clone of Muel paired with Dahlin would go a long way to fix that. 

Do you have cloning abilities?

He's 24. He's still not going to get much faster skating wise being a few years younger. He may play faster with some more seasoning.

There thousands and thousands of Darth minifigs out there in the world.

I think the best bet for a steady defensive right-handed defenseman is a veteran via trade or free agency. Any of Muel, Dahlin, or Power could all use someone with playoff experience and some veteran muscle at their side.

Fitzgerald won't turn 25 until later this month and it's about the game speed slowing down for him. Tons of plays get their initial call-up, look overmatched, and then show up a year later and they can process and play at the NHL speed. Fitzgerald could do the same. However, in his first few games he's looked good and not overmatched. But when the forecheckers really start to press, he's not ready for it. Next season he could be a 6/7 guy. Jury is still out.
