Traded to LA by Boston and now on waivers, what do you think about Marco Sturm. I like the idea of him on our third line, and his 3.5M salary is prorated to nothingness with only 1/4 of the season left. |

My only problem with him is that he's a winger. We kinda have a lot of those. |

Our 3rd and 4th lines are fine. We have plenty of players to play on them. Let us pick up guys that can play the top two lines. |

No he's been too banged up and I wouldn't want this guy! |

Meh, I would pass. I'm sure he's better than Byron, but I think Regier should show that he understands what the "Aim high" philosophy is. |

eehh I kind of like our 3rd and 4th lines... and think we need C help more than winger help... and I'd keep in mind something Mr. P has said in a few interviews... We are looking for long term answers... Not rentals. If moves are made they will be for the long term... Do you see Sturm as a long term 3rd line LW? He is 32... 33 at the start of next season...with 9 points on the year... If he could be a solid 3/4 LW for 2 seasons maybe, but I don't know enough about him to know that... |

I'd take him for the rest of the year. Can't hurt can it? UFA at seasons end so he's a rental that we wouldn't have to give up a pick to get. |

HockeyDB says he plays center. And we could use a center. Not to mention, he's a UFA at the end of the season, so if he doesn't work out... peace. Kind of seems like a no brainer to me if he's a center. I remember him being really scrappy. |

Say we pick Sturm up. What line combinations would he work well with based on skill so far? |

If no one else grabs him, I'm pretty confident we'll see Sturm in a Sabres jersey tomorrow night. This sounds like a Darcy kind of move. The information he could give us about Boston alone would be worth it. |

If Buffalo doesn't claim him, I'll save my being bummed until the trade deadline. The only reason I can think of for Darcy not to pick him up is that he's working on a trade to bring a center in. If that doesn't happen, then I'll be bummed. |

Waiver periods start and end at noon. so it will be noon tomm to see if any teams put a claim in on him... and how does that order work... by league standing or some other method? |
