SDS Posted Monday at 07:13 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:13 PM 6 minutes ago, Weave said: I don’t know how any Sabres fan can mock Boston’s methods. They continue to emphasize winning and then….. win. How much easier is life when you have legitimate NHL stars for well over a decade on the first line that pushes all the wannabes down to the second line? Life is much harder trying to punch above your weight class. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted Monday at 07:14 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:14 PM Comrie back to the Jets for IIRC the 4th time. Don't know where he'll go after that, but he'll be back in Winnipeg again after that. His nickname should be Boomer (as in short for Boomerang). Either that or Keith (as in Tkachuk). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MISabresFan Posted Monday at 07:33 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:33 PM (edited) Leafs are $700k up against the cap.... They may run out of players by the end of the year. Edited Monday at 07:33 PM by MISabresFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted Monday at 07:33 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:33 PM If Pinto is traded my prediction is out west to Minnesota for Rossi. Word is Minny want a bigger centre and Rossi was a star in Ottawa for the 67s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Sabres need to model the Bruins instead of attempting to point and laugh. This is what an organization thst refuses to accept losing looks like.

Taro T Posted Monday at 07:44 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:44 PM So far, the Canes 3 additions: Carrier, Robinson, & Jost. Tulsky sure loves him some Sabres 4th liners. How long until Girgensons signs. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of great players, the big question is will they be able to stay on the ice. Only one skater under age of 25 right now. OMG—I looked at Cap-friendly, and the team is averaging 30 years of age!!!

Rasmus_ Posted Monday at 07:47 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:47 PM Carrier is actually good. He's a much better player than whoever the ***** Ben Menalstyn is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have two of the best NHL players on your first line for a dozen years, it makes filling out the rest of your roster a hell of a lot easier. What does this team look like if you push our first line down to our second line and insert a decade long partnership of two of the best forwards in the NHL? Boston was 2 points from winning conference even after losing the players they did. Not sure what your point is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MISabresFan Posted Monday at 08:04 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:04 PM The Pens signed six players for 4 million today. I wonder how the fan base is doing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what your point is. I have no idea what your point is. Maybe you would like to argue that it’s easier finding first line players than other guys in the lineup. I’ll hang up and listen.

He is signed for next season so what's the rush. He will sign at the same AAV as his current contract for 5 years at some point this summer - probably when camp opens.

Do you truly think that Quinn gets 7.5? I'd guess 6.5, not that a million is a huge difference. As for Peterka, if he has another meteoric season it's completely possible.

Quinn is and has been better than Peterka, even last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
