Actually, thats the guy I would go nuts over!Originally Posted by camelcowboy
I traded for him on NHL07 and he was an excellent pickup.
Actually, thats the guy I would go nuts over!
I don't get it.... Why would Florida trade Bouwmeester and Jokinen when both are signed for more than this year and are 27 and 22? makes no sense unless they've just quit.Actually, thats the guy I would go nuts over!
Jokinen makes over 5 mill a year as well.
I am very scared of Pittsburgh right now
With the fact that Crosby is the NHL's little baby, what a lovely story that would make if they win the Cup this year.

I agree. What Pittsburgh is doing is the same kind of thing I want to see.I am very scared of Pittsburgh right now

how are you gonna get 5 top 3 draft picks in the next 5 years?I agree. What Pittsburgh is doing is the same kind of thing I want to see.
I don't think Buffalo is bad/lucky enough to get guys like Fleury, Malkin, Crosby and Staal in 4 consecutive drafts.....
I'm talking about the trades.....
which ones? they never really made any trades....
edit: unless you mean adding a veteran guy like roberts and muscle like laraque.... but you guys def don't need the enforcer
I've been scared of Pittsburgh since the minute they got Crosby
Malkin and Staal for me
Crosby is the motor that makes the Pens go... he sets up everyone else. That being said... if crosby is Gretzky, Malkin is Lemieux... the size and ability... it's unbelievable....
Staal is better than i though though.
Pittsburgh doesn't scare me. Not this year anyways.
This is from the Sabres blogger at hockeybuzz.com ... sounds like pure speculation, but I'll post it:
Two teams to focus on:
Colorado and Florida have been scouting Buffalo for months...
John Michael Liles and Milan Hejduk look very tasty right now.
Liles and Ryan Miller are fellow Spartans and they are very close off the ice.
Don't rule out Joe Sakic. He may be leaving Colorado for a contender as well. Colorado management will honour his request if he's adamant. Drury and Sakic know one another well.

The kids are great, Whitney is stud as well.
Oh...my......
How in teh world would Buffalo be able to afford Sakic? And how could Colorado even CONSIDER trading him without causeing a mass phone call from every Avs fan in the world. But he is UFA....
Hejduk is affordable and has 3 years left on his deal.... and is young still.... Not happenin.
Speaking of Sakic, there's a News article today that mentions an unspoken bond between him and Lindy because Sakic was a teammate of Lindy's brother who was killed in a bus accident. Sakic was on the bus.
A Sakic trade is something I think I'd only see in NHL 07 so I'm not taking that to seriously. But if they got someone like Hejduk I'd be beyond happy. I'm willing to bet that if someone like Hejduk came to Buffalo that Drury would be staying as well.
again... where's the cap room for Joe comiong from?
Like I said, we can be about $5 million under the cap right now, depending on Connolly's status. Sakic will be a UFA, the Avs are pretty much out of the playoff race. Speaking of the Avs, they picked up Ray Bourque for a Cup, and that was equally unthinkable at the time.
