Mike Grier…Big Deal…Good Player but he is replaceable (Adam Mair)…as for McKee it hurts but its not like the same impact of say Jagr leaving the Rangers or Forsberg leaving Philly…Buffalo needs to sign guys like Briere, Miller, Roy, Pominville, Tallinder, and Lydman to long term deals before their market value goes through the roof…I dont think the Defense is in that bad of shape with: Tallinder + Lydman Kalinen + Numinum Cambell + ??? (Maybe Paetsch and Hopefully not Fitzpatrick) Trade Biron and Save over $2 million…now you have $$$ to sign a defensemen and re-sign your own guys. ---

paetsch will definitely take over mckees spot FUCK FITZPATRICK…his ass needs to get out of town and we seriously need to sign another defensemen in case we get into this scenario AGAIN… ---

if we’d get any kind of defencemen, id like to see us get someone under the age of 30 that could be with us for a long time. there isnt really anybody left to choose from. couple guys i wouldn’t mind coming here are: Danny Markov Tom Poti Daniel Tjarnqvist ---

Yeah its sad to see Grier go but it sorta clears up the mess at forward…This gives a chance for a young guy like Novotny. Drew Stafford or even Clarke McArthur to run for a spot next season…Novotny will no longer have waiver protection meaning if sent down to Rochester, he could be snagged by any team. \*\*EDIT Brandon Witt went to the Islanders DAMN DAMN [http://www.nhl.com/news/2006/07/276632.html](http://www.nhl.com/news/2006/07/276632.html) ---

lol, from the AP > The Leafs overpaid for Pavel Kubina ($20 million over four years) but he’s a quality defenceman. Hal Gill looked lost in the new NHL last year. the wild snagged up mark parrish…watch them try to be an under the radar team this year… ---

Sabres sign Jaroslav Spacek Sports Ticker 7/5/2006 3:13:35 PM BUFFALO, New York (Ticker) - Like fellow defenceman Chris Pronger, Jaroslav Spacek wanted out of Edmonton. After helping Pronger lead the Edmonton Oilers to within one victory of the Stanley Cup, Spacek on Wednesday agreed to terms with the Buffalo Sabres on a multi-year contract. Pronger was traded to Anaheim on Monday after saying he wanted to leave Edmonton. The 5-11, 204-pound Spacek, 32, split last season between Chicago and Edmonton, recording a combined 12 goals and 31 assists in 76 games. He finished second among NHL defenseman with 14 points in 24 playoff games during the Oilers’ postseason run. The blue liner has 51 goals and 154 points in 496 career games with the Florida Panthers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Chicago and Edmonton. He also won a gold medal with the Czech Republic in the 1998 Olympics and won a bronze in the 2006 Games.
