First period thoughts: Passing is squirrelly at best. Miller made some solid saves. McCormick/Ellis/Boyes did some good work out there but they can’t be the best line. Sekera had some good plays, Gragnani needs to learn how to receive a pass. Myers is still having a rough go, with the penalty and some tough [...]

I’m in the pressbox for this one, as the Sabres host the Panthers this lovely evening. Florida is in the building at 5-4-0 having just lost to the Senators (ugh). They might have something in young goalie Jacob Markstrom, who has a 2.11 GAA and a .945 save percentage so far. Positively Enrothian numbers, [...] Which Sabres player will be the most-suspended? (in games) Patrick Kaleta – a ‘repeat offender’ and a line walker. (75%, 6 Votes) Mike Weber – big, tough, not afraid to hit. (13%, 1 Votes) Robyn Regehr – same as Weber. (13%, 1 Votes) Tyler Myers – his elbows are right at [...] From a Sabres.com tweet. No financial data out there yet. WOO! edit: 7 years, $38.5million. $12mil in first year (10 in bonus, 2 in salary). Ryan Lambert went trolling again, and I’m biting. Tyler Myers is reportedly close to signing a contract (now variously reported as 6 or 7 years) for $5.5 million a year. Most people seem to think this number fits in with the new NHL landscape, but not Lambert! He thinks we should be storming HSBC [...] Hey, more awesome Sabres news! According to the venerable Bob McKenzie over at TSN, Tyler Myers (along with the Islanders’ John Tavares) is very close to signing a 6 yr contract extension, worth around $5.5mil per year. If true (and if there’s anyone out there I’d trust for this, It’s Bob McKenzie) that’s a [...] Tim Connolly. Say that name near Sabres fans, and you’ll get a reaction. Largely, a negative one. Maybe a few will reminisce about when he was ‘good’, recall his play in the playoffs after the lockout, but then they bring up the injuries, the concussions, and you end up back at the same place [...] To be honest, I wasn’t able to be as into the draft this year as I wanted to, thanks to family obligations and time constraints. The players the Sabres drafted are here. Some things haven’t changed from the past few years. Most of them are big, over 6 feet tall. Most are North American, [...] The Sabres and the rest of the NHL have released the schedule for next year, but I bet most of you are already investigating just who Robyn Regehr is and who we might be giving up to get him. Assuming he waives his NMC. He’s a solid hitter, also defensively, and might just be [...] With a little distance from the Sabres’ playoff elimination, it’s time to look at what players are must-keep for next year, and who can go. Things are changed, with the Pegula era entering it’s first offseason. We don’t know how trades are going to go, if he wants an RFA, whether he truly likes [...] |
What IS a blockbuster trade?
