seeing speculation of a broken bone, not knee injury.

With the way his ankle whipped after hitting the post, he broke his Tibia/Fibula

Looked like the Theismann injury.

broken tibia. will have surgery to repair it.

if im regier, im on the phone with yzerman offering stafford up ASAP. "hey, he can help now, and when you get stamkos back, you have depth!"

or even moulson.

Samkos can play better on crutches with spikes and hockey sticks taped to them and oneskate, than Stafford can play with normal gear.

I'm reaching here... but it's safe to say he learned a thing or two about how to run a successful organization during his career in Detroit.

If he did he would be the Sabres best player.

As far as Stamkos goes... totally ****ing sucks. He's the best player in the league.

ive had the privilege of watching him and St. Louis in person three times this year.
he was awesome to watch.

i don't know a single person who has watched hockey a minimum of 3 times in their life, let alone a GM, and thought, "oh god, stamkos went down, let's use stafford instead and let's trade some asset to get stafford."

JATMtheJATM is the Betterdays of the sabres board. infectiously optimistic, but not taking into account the years of mismanagement that will always rear its ugly head and sink most of the positives.

i wasnt being completely serious. im aware stafford is painfully sucky.

but if i was darcy, i would call yzerman and ask if theres anything he wants to weather the storm till stamkos comes back. its probable there is nothing, except maybe moulson to help with the scoring they will lose.
