More excuses and hot air coming from the FO

Sabres GM Regier says deals hard to come by

Darcy Regier says he tried. The Buffalo Sabres general manager made calls this summer, trying to make trades to better his organization or give players a fresh start. But the reception was as cool as those 50-degree August nights, and trades anywhere in the NHL were virtually non-existent.

What? Nobody wants our overpaid crappy players? Shocker....

Thank God someone posted this
What a Joke Darcy is
Every single year he says the exact same thing no one is doing anything and we stacked our roster with bargain bums so we have some tuff choices
what is the problem with Mancari? last time i checked u dont have to be the best skater in the world to sit in front of the net ? also u cant find a spot o nthe power play for a converted winger who used to play D with a 102mph slap shot? Mancari could easily play the point and put the puck on net not like half our Dman cant
no one wants Hecht? Lydman? Tallinder?
cant get picks or prospects for them to clear the way for prospects to play?
Darcy sucks and so does Quinn
u think by adding a bum in McCormick and an old Grier is all we need to get over the hump?
oh yeah forgot about powerhouse Ellis and Joe Dipenta too
nice offseason

Re: More excuses and hot air coming from the FO

Not disagreeing with you guys, but I could see nobody wanting Tallinder or Lydman. Both are very mediocre and have relatively high salaries, along with expiring deals. Why trade for them now when you can have them for free next summer?

my philosphy would be dump there salaries like they should have last yr at the trade deadline and get their salaries off the books for say prospects or draft picks, this is Darcys in ability to move players unless we are getting the better end of the deal he wont make the trade
this clears room for guys like Mike Weber etc to make the team and develop not sit behind these **** Dman we have

Again, this is based of the premise somebody actually wants to trade for those guys however...

Three years ago, these guys were near untouchable because they were so important to the team and now nobody wants them? I don't buy it. I would assume he values them way too high.

but yet the rangers find someone they think they need, and kotalik gets a 3 yr/$9 mill deal?

Darcy is a robot GM and only does what scumbag Quinn allows

This is a signing by the Rangers which isn't saying much. They always over pay and it never pans out for them.

Re: More excuses and hot air coming from the FO

This guy is such a joke that it really isn't even funny anymore. Can one organization become such a mediocrity so quickly like the Sabres have??? F'n joke of a franchise.

you make a very good point.

However, all the trash that no one wants is on the team BECAUSE of Reiger (and maybe Quinn). So, he may be absolutely correct in that no one wants our trash, but it's still his ****ing fault for getting that trash in the first place.

Why must every single team I root for suck balls?

Re: More excuses and hot air coming from the FO

I'm absolutely in the state of mind that if they traded Tallinder and Lydman for a dozen donuts and a large pizza it would be a good trade. The quicker their salary is off the books and younger guys are filling their spot, the better.

ONLY if the pizza had the little crunchy pepperoni. Otherwise, NO DEAL!

Is the Pizza Factory still on Borden Road and French? That was some great pizza growing up.
