I've never been against moving anyone on this roster except Miller and Myers.

At this point, I don't think it would be enough. If they can't hold a 2-0 lead with their captain a healthy scratch, one or two players just won't be enough.

Mmmmmm...........agreed, the loss of Tallinder and Lydman definitelty up-ended the defense on this team.
But then, If you review my posts from last season, I, and some others, were already stating that if they went with youth on D to move on to the next generation, this season was up in the air. We now know what we have.

Squanto, knowing that its going to take a season or 2 to get this young D to gel (and with Rivet leaving, Its going to solidify a Sekera or Weber in that spot), do you agree it would be a wise and prudent decision to move atleast some of the core to bring in a young, talented superstar to anchor the forwards? A Bobby Ryan type (and that doesn't mean Ryan himself) that has a season or 2 under them with success and brings that mind set to Buffalo?

Wouldn't it be nice if Regier started it.

Has he realized that the Vezina is the only trophy he'll win with this team????

I think slesh has a crush on Bobby, seriously. I'm a huge Bobby fan, but come on. Sure, he's everything we wanted Vanek to be, but he's a rare breed.

thats all well and good but who? who would be out there? who is going to give up a young up and coming superstar... and how much of the core and mortgaging of the future would you have to do to make that happen? i just dont see any superstar types that would be out there... that wouldn't cost us considerable talent on the current team (NHL & AHL) and future picks...

I agree they need to do something... but superstars dont grow on trees... and they are going to cost you a ton...

No need for violence, just tell her she's got a game misconduct and show her the door.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.

Oh, I'm not talking of one or two players. You've seen my posts, I want to tear it all down and build a winner.
But, as has been pointed out to me, it won't be done under Regier.

On a side note, do you remember when Kaleta, Goose and other 3rd and 4th liners contributed last season?
Where are these guys now?

What future? Par to sub-par future is something I am willing to gamble at this point. Luke warm is no longer good enough for me.

Overreact much?

Who's Bobby?

The only way we will land a superstar like that is to draft him, or sign a big name in free agency, and the free agency market is not the place to find them since they are all getting signed long term for their teams.

We need to tank to get the number one pick a few years in a row, or rely on our future AHL guys.

Lindy Ruff just said Rivet was a completely healthy scratch, that he's giving ice time to his best players and Rivet doesn't deserve it. Dang.

Well there is always trading 2 firsts and a second to get the guy you want instead of waiting.

LOL, you are correct daz, I love his play, his grit, his determination to play A FULL 60 FUCKING MINUTES!!!

But in all seriousness, he is a great example, and Buffalo happens to have the goods in thier top 6 to land him or a player like him.

But if we do, we sacrifice this season to build for the future.

Agreed gr8daygo.
Lets start a sincere thread, no bullshit from the nay sayers, to discuss just who is out there that would meet that critiria and what needs the particular team that currently has them under contract are.
If we can do it, certainly Darcy "No Nuts" Regier could.
