2009 NHL Draft/FA thread

sabres made a huge splash today, re-signing forward matt ellis.

also, jay mckee signs with the pens ::(: one year, 800k. glad we didn’t pursue that contract. i know he took less to play with a contender plus he’s still getting paid by the blues from his buyout, but i would’ve given him 1.25-1.5 instead of 3+ for tallinder or lydman and bring up weber to pair up with him, show him the ropes ala butler and rivet last season.

:slight_smile: if the pens only paid 800k, damn what a steal.

dammit, I was hoping we might be able to snag Mckee :frowning:

ana lol @ 3 mil a yr for Kaotalik.

and thank god for that, i get enough shit about being a sabres fan when the flyers suck, hopefully they stay shitty.

Ok guys here is the move we’ve all been waiting for! The sabres have signed … drumroll… defensemen… joe dipenta…

i lol’d about this when i first read it…then just shook my head in shame…then asked myself am i really that surprised?

the answer was no.

If the sabres mgt had any balls they’d go out and get dale tallon. you know, a guy that actually knows how to build a winner and will spend money to do so.

also, read this gem… My HockeyBuzz

:lol: @ going after Patrick Kane

I’m still suprised Chicago fired him, he did fuck up the whole RFA thing though.

after watching alot of these players at Rookie camps and watching as many Juniorand college games as possible that every single one of them have NHL talent, and Man at least half of them have All-Star Potential.

HA how optimistic.

Haha ooobbbvviiioouuusssllyy this guy is NOT from buffalo lmao.

You mean like how darcy said Drury’s contract got stuck in the FAX?

He hasn’t been fired from Chicago. He’s been reassigned to some “Hockey Ops” title. :uhh:

Which I’m sure he’d be more than happy to resign for a GM job where he could produce a shit product for 15 years and not get fired.

The Orioles?

:sigh: :meh:


DARCY BREAKING OUT THE BIG GUNS NOW…

Jesus christ. It’s not even worth paying the journalist to report it.

wtf?? we have enough grit now with montador rivet and kaleta. wtf is mcormick going to do??? God darcy fucking blows.
