[THATHURMANATOR]

Great leadership. I wouldn't be pissed to get him.

[RockStar36]

Pleeeeeease sign this guy Darcy

[hydro]

I am sure jeremy white is creaming in his pants at the thought.

[Michael82]

This would be pretty ****ing sweet. :up:

I actually just had to clean a load out of mine.... :ill:

[THATHURMANATOR]

This would be pretty ****ing sweet. :up:
LOL. :shakeno:

[SabreEleven]

Are they looking at this guy like they looked at Brooks Orpik?

[Michael82]

LOL. :shakeno:
okay, I forgot a piece of that post....



That would be pretty ****ing sweet! :up:
However, it won't happen because he will want too much and the Sabres are too cheap. :ill:


Is that better for you? :::

Honesty is better, Mikey.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Yep better Mike

[OpIv37]

he's older but certainly more proven than Orpik, and Paetsch, Sekera and Weber could learn a lot from him.

Get it done.

[RockStar36]

I have a good feeling about this one

[RockStar36]

Get it done.

He been the captain of two different teams as well. That leadership is sometimes hard to find.

[Philagape]

Or every other FA on the rumor chart?

yeah especially when you toss 3 captains to the curb in past 2 years. :up:

I would love this move, I just hope Darcy can convince Larry and Tom to cough up some money. :pray:

[THATHURMANATOR]

I can't see him getting as much as Orpik

[RockStar36]

Based on the stats I looked at it appears that he was Spacek's teammate in Edmonton the year they took a run at the cup.

[THATHURMANATOR]

That is a guarantee RS.

[bigbub2352]

Please sign him to replace Teppo all i ask

[Philagape]

The guy captained one of the biggest turnarounds in NHL history. And he was on a WAY overachieving Oilers team that went to the finals. He's got a case for a bigger contract than Orpik.

Yes but age is not on his side. I agree with what you are saying just think he will command and get less. I may easily be wrong

[OpIv37]

it would be nice to go back to consistent captains.

I didn't mind Briere and Drury sharing the C and the A because it was a case of two guys deserving it equally.

I hated last year's month-by-month arrangement because it was a case of no one standing out as a leader.

[RockStar36]

I don't like rotating captains at all. Just pick one and be done with it.

[Crisis]

he's getting up there in years but just his presence will make our defense better and help a lot of the younger players out. he's the veteran defenseman this team sorely lacks

RUMOUR: Jason Smith has narrowed it down to two teams, we are told. BUFFALO or OTTAWA. Buffalo as it stands has the higher offer.

[RockStar36]

Please let him choose us.

[Philagape]

This would be the first Sabres news in two years that would make me smile.

Ok, Darcy wantabe...I'm glad you don't run this team.

[patmoran2006]

Werd.
Jeremy White has been raving out him since the Sabres season ended.

[Crisis]

looks like he went to ottawa

[Dr. Lecter]

There is a RUMOR (And I stress that word) that Smith failed his physical.

I have no link, just something I heard.
