If Richards is a no go I expect a big trade.

They would need to sign one of their RFA defensemen and Enroth to complete 20 players and have a full team.
Correction: that would give them 22 players. 13F, 8D and Miller. McCormick wasn't listed so subtract $1.2 from what I posted before.

For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
Yes. Or at least they havebeen qualified
Fleischman to Florida for $4.5 mil a year?? Did I hear that right??
TSN says we are a big winner
i keep refreshing waiting for a trade where we send some of our depth at wing for a real center.
i'm ok with the leino deal as long as we move some of our wing depth for a center, but without that i'm not liking it too much.
It's very possible the Sabres realized that Richards is no longer a viable option and decided to pursue the #1 C via trade. Adding Leino gives us excellent depth. We had 4 major needs going into the offseason, addition of Leino fills 3 of them. Improve the team in any way you can.............maybe Roy can be the #1 C until other options become available.
and people are complaining about Leino?
NHL network leads off their 5PM news with Jagr...what a joke.
Even if then cannot get Richards, Stastny or Spezza the Sabres are a much better team now than they were just one week ago.
in a trade situation what winger(s) would you be willing to give up to free up the space? It would have to be substantial, no?
From the arena, Leino is the plan B and a center for us. We are out of the Richards sweepstakes. Trades are not off the table.
They planned to go up to meet with Richards but then didn't.
vanek is the only wing i'd be unwilling to trade... i'd almost say ennis to but i wouldn't be opposed if he was in a deal for someone like spezza.
So WGR just reported that Darcy Dumbass said Leino was plan B and they are not pursuing Richards and that this is pretty much their roster. Umm, really??? Well folks, this team is nowheres good enough to win a cup and they are very mediocre upfront. Really disappointed if this is the "center" that they are adding.
Leino is a solid signing...not the big splashy signing that many of you hoped for but he's a solid young player with playoff experience. And a guy who had a monster of a playoffs 2 seasons ago with Philly.
Anytime you can add a player like that you've done well.
We've got a lot of "solid" players, we need stars...
Yes...it's always Darcy. He is so powerful he has yet another owner completely mesmerized. In order for you to be correct then Pegula is just another chump. We might as well just self destruct now.
the one big thing i love about leino is that he's a bigtime playoff performer though...we need more of those upfront on this team.
THis team is way better right now. We are deep with the exception of C, and have the prospects and players to make a big trade if we choose. Add in how much better our D is... I'm really happy.
