    This is the time I like twitter. Live updates from the guys that are on the phones finding the latest moves.

    Never. I believe last year was the first year of his contract extension. So,
    a) trading him would be an admission of a mistake by the Sabres' FO, which will never happen
    b) Quinn and Darcy truly believe that this team will win a Cup with a core of Vanek, Roy, Pominville and Connolly. They are dead wrong and everyone who knows the first thing about hockey can see it- except them.

    TSNBobMcKenzie - Sounds like Meszaros is going from Tampa to Philly for a second round pick.

    DarrenDreger - Meszaros to Flyers sounds like a done deal.

    I wouldn't be so sure on that.

    Issue with Connolly is if you're a GM, what do you want to give up for an (injury prone) forward who can be good at times, disappear at times, and makes 4.5 million per year for only one season?

    Re: NHL FA Thread

    Biron to the Rags 2years 1mill.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    TSNBobMcKenzie:
    Marty Biron's deal with the Rangers is expected to be for two years at just less than $1 million per year

    TSNBobMcKenzie:
    Actually, make that Biron signing a just a shade under $900K per year.

    Guess that's one argument we can stop having.

    Biron is dead to me now.

    On top of that, the first 2 from my most wanted list are gone which leaves the next 2 as Niittymaki and Lalime. So when it's Lalime, I can't even ***** about it.

    Re: NHL FA Thread

    sabres have to offer though, right?

    I think Biron is past his prime now. he needs to play 5-10 games in a row to get a groove and be somewhat dependable. but the sabres don't believe in that kind of workout regiment. they want miller getting hte most games and getting breathers here and there.

    oh well.

    Way too much at his age. They are on the hook for the entire deal, even if he retires.

    As badly as the Sabres need a PP QB that is a massive ass raping.

    Re: NHL FA Thread

    can you imagine being Darcy's kids on Christmas morning?

    pitter patter of feet running down the stairs to get in front of the tree...no presents await them. kids still excited for a possible surprise.

    Daddy Darcy comes down a few minutes later.

    "Kids, you'll learn about christmas soon enough. i'll have to teach you, but we didn't get anything this year. I think the jacob's ladder, the monkey's in the barrel, and this broken tin man have a lot of years left in them. I could have overpaid for the wii and had some fun and excitement this morning with the family and to get us through the winter months, but where would we be after that excitement? I'd probably have to buy more games. i really think you got to focus in on the jacobs ladder. It looks like its continuously falling, and no one knows why.

    Anyways, don't let your other friends tell you they are having a good time...they in fact are unhappy with those gifts. they'll know that come june next year. Trust me. by the way, did anyone makeme any pancakes this morning? No? Ok, i'm grabbing a creamsicle.
