I would love to see Satan back again on the Sabres. He has been looking good the last few years and with the new, young talent we have and our crisp passing game I see him as decent pick up.

I’m shocked, but I’m guessing this call came from over Lindy’s head.

How would anyone feel abour breier coming back? I’m a big fan of him, and Philly is basically screwed for next year, right up on cap and if emery keeps it up, he will go for 2.75 - 3.1 million for 2 - 3 years somewhere else, so they wont have a goalie or cap room to get one.

I don’t think Briere will ever be as good as he was in Buffalo because the league has gone back to being a goon game. Most of that clutching, grabbing and grinding play they eliminated when Briere excelled is back and he doesn’t have the size or strength to play that game.

It just comes down to how many of the same player do you need on a team? I mean I could lump Gaustad, Ellis, Grier, Kaleta and maaybbeee Hecht all into the same group…

No thanks, while we could use someone who is as good as he is behind the net I think Connolly has played more games in the past season or two than brier due to injury.

Awesome… Looking at the stats this morning… Miller is #1 in GAA, SV%, and Wins.

Talk about a great start to the Season. It would be great to have another Vezina Goalie

I cant see that lasting…

Im really surprised he dint go back home to play in the Russian league. His GF still lives there and he would probably have signed a comparable contract.
