Any player at anytime can be moved no matter how bad of a contract or how bad they are. This means Leino too. Package Leino with Roy and a 1st to a team that has salary like the Isles or Panthers then there you go you free up salary to go after the guy you want. Plus FLA loves guys like Leino, there whole team is comprised of Leino's.

I don't want to trade Vanek. If our star player can't hack being a whipping boy for our head coach it's simple the coach has to go.

Roy is a must trade if Darcy and team management don't see that then they shouldn't be in this business of hockey.

Another guy I want to get rid of is Sekera. He commits so many turnovers. I believe it was his giveaway that destroyed our chances at loffs in the Philly game.

In a couple of years we will clear up a considerable amount of salary though. With Vanek, Pominville, Miller and McCormick set to be UFA's. Think pretty close to $20 Million? Miller IMO will walk or will at least test the UFA market if we haven't made some success in the playoffs and coaching he IMO will leave. Pominville I see staying. Vanek I think will go with the highest bidder as he did back when he was a RFA.

Doesn't mean anyone would WANT to do it.

Unless we get an offer we can't refuse, yes, I want Roy back next year.

He had one bad year after an extended recovery where he couldn't skate. That for me is not enough to freak out about. We can't just get rid of people every time we think they are under-performing. For example, there were many people here who said we should trade Miller this season, because he was struggling. Yes, he was struggling, but only for about 20-25 games. But he was still the Olympics MVP, has his name on the Vezina, and is a proven winner; and he was struggling to overcome concussion symptoms. By the end of the year, he was back to his old self (or better). Over-reacting and not approaching big decisions objectively is no way to run a hockey club. Nobody leaves their wife for good because she burned dinner the last 3 nights.

Roy's a good PK and PP guy. He's valuable in the faceoff circle. He's cheap, too. At only $4M he was more efficient than Vanek from a $ per point consideration. Even in this off year Roy was $91K per point and Vanek $117K per point. Roy was only $58K per point his last full season, which he led the Sabres in scorong btw. Also, center is our biggest need. Even if you don't like Roy, we still need him.

As for Vanek, he's not going anywhere with that contract. We're stuck with him.

Vanek is absolutely tradeable if a team wants him that badly. I'm pretty sure Edmonton wouldn't mind grabbing him for four 1st rounders.

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.

I'm keeping Vanek, yes he had a bad second half of the season, but you always forget his very impressive run with Pominville in the early stages of the season.

To bipolar. You keep Pominville, Hodgson, Vanek on a line all year and you'll see a very dominating line for us. And it gives us a great first two lines with Foligno, Ennis, Stafford together and Roy can be third line.

Boom, two legit scoring lines from that and the third line with Roy on it would instantly become another possible scoring line. Yesm Roy sucked dick last year, but his contract is nothing for what he can and has shown to provide to the team offensively and defensively.

7 mill for a 60 point man isn't really movable. It CAN happen but I don't see it happenING.

I don't think you should be judging Vanek by this season only. He would be one of the best if he had a coach that wouldn't be on his ass all the time. The guy can easily net 40+ in any given season. And that makes him movable VERY MOVABLE.

Besides the 2nd half of this year he was almost a point per game player. I'm hoping he stays otherwise we've lost another great scorer.

Even when Vanek gets the ice time he deserves he most certainly is not 7 million and would not be one of the best by a long shot.

Seems like we're stuck with the guys we have.

i would move roy. hodgson and ennis are top 2 C's so why have roy? move roy to a team that needs scoring in the worst way, and pick up a top 6 winger, or a pick. or package him.

getting rid of leino wont happen. as it shouldnt. A. it was just one year, and B. it would look really bad to potential free agents that, heck, you may have just signed a huge contract but they will move you ASAP if you play even marginally disappointing. leino wasnt the only one to suck last year.
