Not many centers out there...........improve the roster any way you can.

Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

does signing leino mean no shot for richards?

I bet that explains Pegula's daughter's quote.

Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

I gotta believe we have trades ready in our back pocket.

I'll take Spezza or Statsny with Leino and be very happy....I think I said that in another thread

Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

THey are about 6 million under the offseason cap right now


IT does explain the tweet - Pegula got a text message about Leino and was responding to it and acciently tweeted it.

They have too many wingers over 4 million. I would think one is being moved.

And I agree it is a bit much for Leino, but that is what happens in FA. You overpay for guys (See Montador)

Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

i'm not crazy about leino at that price

i liked him in the playoffs against us but thats a lot of money for another winger

Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

If the Sabres haven't met with Richards yet have signed Leino and are supposedly at the cap then they have to have more planned....otherwise, why stay and meet with Richards?

Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

Plus, that's an awful lot of money for an average player...

I don't disagree at all, but that is what happens with free agents. And why I hate free agency

Yeah, it gave us inaccurate info!!

So now because people are stupid and believe unverified accounts, its Twitter's fault? Riiiiiight...

It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

Anyways enough about the Twitter debate, don't want to clog up the thread.

The CSN Philly article said that this guy was probably the Flyers most consistent player on a night out and night in basis. He paired with Hartnell and Briere.

Totally explians the tweet.

She was basically asking if Leino meant we couldn't get Richards... and my guess is it does not prevent Richards... The Sabres aren't stupid, they wouldn't still be meeting with him if they had no way to sign him.

Low blow.

Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

Yes, they need a center but you aren't excited?

Depends if they get a superstar like Richards or not. If these are the type of players they end up with, they still won't Cup contenders. I'm not complaining, just answering your question. This is a million times better then before, but the fact remains, this team needs a superstar upfront...

I will PM Sparty and apologize.
