New Addatives

Hello!

I like the Jeff Cowan signing, but I wish we WOULD JUST HURRY UP AND SIGN DREW! I'm getting tired of all the dawdling about signing Stafford, there are only 19 days until the Sabres first pre-season game, and STILL NO STAFFORD!!!!!!! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM????? JUST SIGN HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please. Wow. Does this really have to take this long to sign him? I just hope we do...

Bye!

We Are TOUGH!!!

Hello!

I really enjoyed seeing Steve Montador, followed by Cody McCormick, followed by Mike Grier joining the team for this upcoming season, adding some grit to one of the softer teams in the NHL. Draft picks like Zack Kassian and Tyler Myers were also nice to see. We got pretty big and tough in a pretty short time, but seeing Stafford back on the team will be nice, if it happens, which I hope that it will. I like seeing the low penalty minutes on Grier, which (I hope) means he hits hard but clean. Overall I think we will be a much different/ better team next season.

Bye!

Hello!

I read that Peter Forsberg may be retiring. The Sabres have been quiet this offseason, but I really like that they signed Cody McCormick, Steve Montador, and Mike Grier, I'm hoping they'll re-sign Drew Stafford soon. Too bad that Mikael Telqvist is now in the KHL. Teppo Numminen retired, a good choice but kind of too bad, we lost Spacek to the Canadiens, which is also too bad. I'm very happy that Dominic Moore, Maxim Afinogenov, and Andrew Peters will most probably not be coming back. On Die By The Blade, I saw a fanpost called "The Darcy Regier era: Great Trades, but I was just thinking that one of the very bad trades of late was Ales Kotalik for a second round draft pick, then the second rounder for Dominic Moore. That trade pretty much equals Kotalik for Moore, which was a pretty bad deal. Moore ended with 1 goal and 3 assists in 18 games, while Kotalik went on to score another 7 goals and 4 assists in 19 games. My analysis is that was a TERRIBLE trade! Now that does not mean that I think that Darcy hasn't made some very good trades, but that one really stands out as a bad one. I will have to write a tribute to Numminen, Forsberg, and Joe Sakic, who also retired.

Bye!

Teppo Numminen Tribute

Hello!

Teppo chose the perfect time in his career to retire. He had heart surgery two years ago, so I hope he has good luck with that. I really liked having him on the team, he was a great d-man.
I think he was a great mentor for the up-and-coming young guys like Chris Butler.

Bye!
