Who is the first Sabre traded before the deadline?

[Ebenezer]

25,000 ZBs to the person who predicts the first Sabre to be traded before the deadline. In other words, who is playing their last game as a Sabre against Detroit.

No ties allowed. The tie-breaker will be to predict when (what hour of the day) the trade will occur.

You cannot predict - no trades. That is not acceptable.

Good luck.

Tim Connolly on Monday, February 28. 12:30pm ET

I think he's the only Sabre that will get traded.

Tim Connolly Sunday night 9pm

Did you guys hear we are buyers, not sellers?

Today, Darcy said: CONNOLLY WILL NOT BE TRADED.

Epic, ****ing, fail.

[Ebenezer]

I believe in the NHL when you trade a player that player's cap number, for the entire year, counts against that year's cap for the new team. If that is true then the team acquiring TC would have to have enough room to accept his $4.5 million deal. TC isn't going anywhere.

Niedermayer. Monday at 1 PM

(Although I actually think nobody is moved)

With Rivet gone, there may a roster spot open :nod:

So the Sabres could just add a player using a pick and/or prospect

Yes, it was rumored.. and then later confirmed by various news sources, TBN included.

Apparently Connolly was on the keepy list :rofl:

Blows my ****ING mind!

[Dr. Lecter]

It is not on the News site, that I can see

[Michael82]

I hope you're wrong. How could Connolly be on the keep list? :ill: Damn you, Darcy! :mad:

second round draft pick

[Ebenezer]

I hope you're wrong. How could Connolly be on the keep list? :ill: Damn you, Darcy! :mad:
Why would DR have written the keep list with TP taking over? Some of you just have to stop assuming that everything the Sabres do that you don't like is DR's fault.

[Nighthawk]

Why? I'm sure Darcy was in Pegula's ear telling him how great of a player Timmy is. People need to wake up and realize that the same person is making the calls on hockey personnel...not good.

[Nighthawk]

Why would DR have written the keep list with TP taking over? Some of you just have to stop assuming that everything the Sabres do that you don't like is DR's fault.

And you have to get your head out of the sand and realize that DR has MUCH more say then you and others have given him.

[Dr. Lecter]

1 .I have found nothing on this report actually being accurate, so until JD gives us some kind of link, we even have a discussion.

b. The no-trade list was from Pegula's side. Why would Darcy make up the no trade list when he is the person making trades? The idea that he made the list is ridiculous on any level of common sense and blaming him is purely based on the idea people do not like him. He controls the trades and therefore does not need to put a player on it.

[Dr. Lecter]

And you have to get your head out of the sand and realize that DR has MUCH more say then you and others have given him.
Except for the fact that some of us know that Quinn was a micromanager.

I assume you have serious problems with Pegula telling the whopper of a lie in the press conference about Darcy being handcuffed?

I also assume that you then would give him credit for the good moves made and that he did build a team that went to two straight ECF.

Dude, you have so blinded yourself that it's pretty comical. It's pretty obvious that Darcy is good at performing something, so that he can keep his job...he's done it many times with different regimes. His failures SO outweigh his good things that it is a moot point, but a nice try to spin. Hey, you left out the part about him not acquiring the veteran, playoff/stanley cup experienced player during those playoff runs...but hey, whatever makes your point. What about the lack of even trying to address the lack of defenseman depth in the first run? And yes, there was concerns about the Sabres blueline before the deadline and the playoffs and then the **** hit the fan with all of the injuries in the playoffs. His lack of foresight is brutal and he does not have a feel for what it takes to put a team over the top. Is he good at following the company line? Sure, good for him, but I'm looking for a GM who's good at building a Championship team and can admit his mistakes...Darcy cannot do either.

That would really suck! :ill:

Agreed but if thinking if they are going to make a play for Richards they probably want Ennis in return.

[Ebenezer]

I don't want to pay a king's ransom for somebody who has a concussion, no scheduled return day and may be nothing more than a rent a player.

I would not give up Ennis unless I'm getting a top 10 offensive player that is under 30.
