    Svatos = small and injury prone. Plus ever since his rookie campaign his numbers have tailed off a ton. Pass.

    NYR 10%, A.C.E.
    Toronto 5%, A.E.
    Philly 5%, D.E.
    how are the Sabres a Cup contender? We still have no true center and lack scoring. The improvements on D will help, but that's not enough to truly make us a contender on their own.

    Richards is the true center. He fills in that piece.
    And they are not lacking scoring. They were in the top 10 of the NHL last year.

    It would be great to see you guys win a cup, as fans you deserve it.
    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.

    Too many teams need to reach the floor so expect Tim Connolly to get stupid money today as the clear No. 2 UFA C on the market.

    Where are the typical Billszone posts like, I saw Richards at the buffalo airport and my cousin the limo driver tok him to Hsbc? This free agency feels weird.

    If Connolly is the clear #2 available center, it says a lot about how lousy this free agent class is.

    Because the NHL isn't like that. They said Brad Richards is with his agent in Mississauga, ON.

    they've been too busy calling the local radio station saying they're Richard's cousins neighbor, and he's defniately going to the NYR

    Make the biggest offer and then compare NY with us head to head... I like how we look in that comparison:

    Solid coaching, great goalie, owner who is willing to spend, solid defense (with Regher and Ehrhoff) great young guys, great prospects...

    Other than Torterella, why would Richards pick NYR?

    Wonder what the handicaps would have been on Regher or Ehrhoff...

    I'm not putting much faith in those assessments.

    Make sure your offer is the biggest and we are instantly top 2.
