LOL, he had a long meeting with Darcy today, Darcy said that "the pieces needed to win a cup are not here right now" but he is talking about re-signing the 4th line center. Why not sign Parise instead of bringing in all these 3.5-4 million dollar losers? would you rather have Goose and another 4 mill winger or Parise? when Myers deal kicks in next year the Sabres are not going to have much cap room, signing Goose is not going to win any cup but it might make everyone all warm and fuzzy inside.
Goose 38 playoff games ZERO goals. Played 19 mins per game average the last two playoff years. His faceoffs were 33% vs Boston in game 6(49% overall), against Flyers he was -6 and lost very important faceoffs for tying and game winning goals. For those who claim that "checking centers are not paid to score goals", well, Dave Bowland had 8 goals when Hawks won the cup, Jordan Staal scored well in playoffs, etc. Team sport and you can't win a cup without goals from bottom 6 guys. Most over rated player ever to wear the blue and gold. Remember the goal is the CUP not to be nice and kind to low skill players. Someone please take Darcy's check book away. The good news is that Goose is asking for so much just maybe Darcy won't re-sign him, thank God.
Ryan Kesler makes 5 mill even per season for cap hit, Jordan Staal 4 million even. They both score in the playoffs and shut down top lines.
Where did you hear this information?
