NHL FA Thread

I'm not sure if I would or not. They are very similar, and Leopold is younger. But Lydman is bigger.

I didn't like Lydman at all

My dads birthday is tomorrow and he said Lydman leaving was one of the best pre-birthday gifts ever. lol

I liked him, except when he turned the puck over a few times. If you didn't like Lydman...why are you excited about Leopold? They have similar stats.

gordoszone‎: Buffalo got Jordan Leopold earlier, but landing Pavel Kubina would be a much bigger get for the Sabres blue line. Apparently they are close.

Do the Sabres have enough cap money to sign Kubina now, after signing Leopold for $9 million?

Just tossing this out there, but do you even know how the cap works in hockey?

The cap hit is $3 million. Lydman and Tallinder cleared almost 6 off the cap as of today.

Yes they have plenty of cap room. Plenty.

Please tell me you're ****ing kidding. 45 power play points in 460 games... that's as big a boost as a stroke while driving

And the Sabres had 0 PP points in 19 attempts last postseason. It's an improvement.

You must have missed the stat where he has 0 goals, 15 assists in 55+ playoff games (10 assists came in 2004)

Thanks for coming!
