Not only would I have kept Marcus, I'd have signed his brother as a free agent to play with him and lead this locker room. (and no, he wouldn't put up big scoring numbers and he'd probably be over paid in terms of production, but it wouldn't matter, it would be worth it). Heck, put their dad back on the payroll as well as a scout or some type of advisor. They all have and know what it takes. It was a big mistake and I hated it when it happened. Scandella wasn't a good enough player to justify it in any way shape or form. If Marcus was still here I'd have named him captain without question. When the Sabres moved on from Carrier, Des, and Marcus, it created a void that has yet to be filled. 1 hour ago, JP51 said: 100%! ok little nothing side story that i just have to tell... So, when I was a kid always went to Pizza Hut for our birthdays... and In walks Mike Foligno with Nick as a toddler and Marcus in a car seat... and my grandmother loved Mike because when the sabres said Merry Christmas on the broadcasts he said Bueno Natalie which is obviously Italian for Merry Christmas ... so we are like let this man eat his Pizza with his kids leave him alone and my Grandmother goes over to him and grabs Marcus out of the car seat and starts in with the what a cute bambino and he is laughing and smiling and Foligno was talking to us... Fast forward 20 years Marcus' first game I am there and he scores... and I am like holy crap thats the baby I held in the Pizza hut LOL... Oh and then he did the Foligno jump for his Dad. I loved Mike Foligno as a Sabre! Probably would be on my Sabres Mt. Rushmore. Edited December 5 by LabattBlue 1 1 Quote

Rasmus_ Posted December 6 Report Posted December 6 I read this and just thought, "he's not good at hockey". He fell back to earth, from his sorta hot start. Quote

I don't feel like we need less Quinns, we just need a healthy Quinn from years' past. We need scoring, and I don't trust Greenway's gonna give us much of that. And I'm not saying we don't also need Greenway back - to me he's a very good option on 3rd / 4th line. Edited December 6 by Captain Caveman Quote
