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.
    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.

                        So am I. I nearly wet myself when the Leino signing was announced. My sarcasm didn't drip through that post?

                          i'm worried about our centers, but we have an owner willing to spend now and we definitely have the assets to acquire one in a trade still.

                          other than that, our defense looks sick and we have a lot of good wingers....and of course we still have miller and now a dependable backup

                            If you went to sleep when Philly beat Buffalo and woke up at 5PM today and didn't know any of the soap opera behind how these players moved, wouldn't you agree that the Sabres are a much better team today??
