New Jersey just got a whole lot better. It will be fun to watch Kovy in the playoffs this year with Parise. I can't wait to see how they gel together. Trade time is always a fun time of year.

Mr. Pegula, your destiny awaits you sir.

We won a lottery with one team to get a first overall, I know we had that but other than that, the Sabres HAVE NEVER HAD ONE WITH POOR PLAY. The Sabres have never been bad enough to earn a top pick, Yes Vanek was a top 5 pick.

You just don't understand my reasoning then, because I agree we need a RWer to go with Vanek and Roy, I don't necessary think we need a LW to go with Connolly and Pommers, but I'd agree Sharp could do wonders with them.

The way this team is working now with Regier is to build within the draft and simple FA signings. Maybe a trade hear and there but never mortgage their future for one player who we wouldn't have been able to sign next year anyways.

Clamor all you want for a big name, we don't have the cap space nor the right formula for it. We need a few little pieces like a RW for Vanek and Roy who plays consistently. And we're golden, we don't need a Kovy type player to win games, and that has been proven this year.

I'm done trying to argue because you don't see what I'm saying, all you have done is say we need a trade for a big name player, we could have done this trade and crap.

You just blew off how Pittsburgh got Malkin, MAF, Crosby, and Staal because of how badly they sucked before the lockout and how a top 3 pick turns into something great, you ignored how Washington got Semin, Green, Ovechkin because they sucked for a long time to get top five picks years in a row and now they are paying off.

It is. I loved last year when we were all pissed that Darcy didn't do anything except resign Connolly, then with like 15 minutes before the deadline there was that 4 team trade and no one knew what was going on and we were all on the edge of seats.

We truly are not worthy of Miller!

Debate is the word, not arguing, and I didn't blow off how Wash. and Pitt received these players. Pitt is who I mentioned, they didn't get the 90's squad that way.

Like I said way back in a post. If Darcy were serious about going after the Cup this year, Kovy was the top trade item. I do agree with you Sharp is also a good player, but Buffalo won't get him. As a matter of fact, I'll go so far as to say, we end up with a 3rd liner or picks and thats about it.

Come on AudSabres, this is Darcy Reiger we are speaking of, you dam well know there's another Dominic Moore out there just waiting to join our 3rd line

I just keep thinking that, in this game anything can happen. It's brutal on the players to play hockey and many unfortunately, get injured. Our poor Kaleta to name one. I am not worried about New Jersey overpowering us because of this thought.....every night is a new game, and a new game of players.

Fuck you Darcy. And this time, I mean it. WORST fucking GM ever.

Now, on a lighter note, please Darcy, grow a hairy pair and make a move for a good player...


(Darcy sucks)

So, do we now start a "Sharp to Buffalo" thread?

I dunno, I think they gave up way too much for a rental.

Bergfors, Oduya, Cormier, first-round pick

Cromier is a goon, but is a Cal Clutterbuck type player

Bergfors- 23 year old winger, reminds me a lot of a Radek Dovorak type player. Solid 3rd to 2nd line player

Oduya- a solid defensive man running into his prime, the past two years hes been over +20, and contributed 25 or more points from the blue line

1st round pick, speaks for its self.

All for a guy who wouldn't accept a 8M a year...on a team with 40M locked up next year, and 6 roster spots still not assigned, they can't cough up 10M a year for 1 player like Kovie wants.

Awful big gamble for a player who will play with your team for less than 30 games.

To follow up,

The sabres would have to have traded:

Stafford
Roy
Kaleta/Kassian
+
1st rounder to rent Kovie...or more. Would it have been worth it?

No, and I completely agree. My posts weren't that we should have landed him, my posts were to the point as to why we didn't even try. And that list above, I am sure it could have been negotiated to look different, but we'll never know.

Thats why jvaccaro6, I am on to the Sharp to Buffalo thread

I'd much rather have Ponakarovski, but a few years ago, when Sharp was being traded from Philly, I suggested we trade Kotalik, and a 3rd for him, and was told how much of a stupid idiot I am, lol.

Kotalik and a 3rd would have probably landed him too.
