Sabres just signed Jordan Leopold to a 3 year 9 million dollar contract

Old news pal. I like the enthusiasm though. Welcome to the boards.

Yeah, we've been on here following it all man. Welcome to the boards

Does anyone know what Anaheim/Jersey fans think of the signing of Lydman/Tallinder? I'm not sure if I like letting them walk.

I liked the deal until I heard it was 3 million per year... Might as well have kept Lydman and had a more physical defense.

I call BS on that one.

Wow, man...we all know. Read the website before posting.

OMG I'm so bored. Everybody over at my old teams board is all chatty and happy and it's all quiet here. They are picking on me because my teams big signing was Leopold.

It's like 1st grade all over again.

Seriously. this...for the moment.......sucks balls. We obviously need to add another D but I think we were all hoping for a non-lateral D move and something to help up fornt in the scoring department.

dudes new, dont scare him off.

I'm actually really excited about him. He will fit Lindy's system perfectly because he rushes the puck a lot. He is not a PP QB, he's more like a better Tallinder. (though I'm not as sure about his defensive capabilities) Most of his goals are being the trailer on the rush or pinching up to the circles on the PP.
I think he will get 10+ goals and maybe he'll be paired with Myers because he has a similar style to Tallinder.
Get used to him, we have him for 3 years, and I am excited about that.

i just cant wait to hear what darcy had to say in his press conference about letting tallinder and lyds go, and then getting at best a #4 defenseman

Lebrun saying Flyers shopping Gagne.

Can he stay healthy?

From the Buffalo News...

"I’m excited. Right when I found out Buffalo was interested, I talked to Tommy Vanek, gave him a call, and my wife talked to his wife, we talked about the area. I’ve got three kids, and it’s one of those spots I really don’t know much about, but he filled me in and I was real excited and intrigued after that. I’m looking for a spot that’s good for the family, and my kids have fun while we go out and strive for goals.

"I think you look at it, they’re a playoff team every year. Goaltending-wise, they’ve got one of the best goaltenders in the league. Defense, the young defenseman Myers there, he’s an up-and-coming attraction and definitely a top player in the league already at a young age. I can hopefully complement him a little bit. We’ve got some good-scoring forwards. I think it was the whole package for myself, my family, hockey – for what I was looking for, Buffalo was a good spot for me."

On his power-play status, which didn't come into play in Florida or Pittsburgh last season: "I was more of a secondary guy in both spots. I didn’t see a lot of first power-play time, but who knows? All those things are earned through training camp and through the year. Who knows where they see me on that, but if called upon I definitely feel I can contribute somewhat."

On anything else Vanek told him: "He told me the wings are really good there."

On going from Florida to Pittsburgh and Buffalo: "It’s important to play in a market that sees hockey as a No. 1 game. ... To be in a market where people see hockey as a headliner is nice. It is refreshing, and I think my kids enjoy it more than anything."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...The comment about complimenting Myers indicates that they'll be paired together, which would make the most sense.

You make a good point but if Briere and Drury were given offers way before they hit free agency they wouldn't of gotten as much. Just my opinion. Those two should have been locked up before the last year of their contract.

If he can't, we must have him high on our list.
