Trade Deadline

Thank You

By Chris on March 4, 2010

Just wanted to take the time to to thank everyone who participated in yesterday’s mega live blog. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Maybe we can do something on that large scale again come July 1 (when it will be warm enough for Darcy to enjoy his creamsicle).
In the meantime, [...]

Fresh Blood

By Chris on March 3, 2010

By Chris

Deadline Day is when fans can really start getting excited about their team again. Whether it’s from acquiring players or addition through subtraction, hopefully your general manager did something that will improve your club.
Darcy Regier improved the Sabres today.
He traded Nathan Paetsch and a second round pick to Columbus for Raffi Torres and then moved Clarke [...]

Wants and Needs: Toronto Maple Leafs

By Chris on March 3, 2010

By Chris
At 3 p.m. today, the Sabres’ roster will be set for the stretch run and the playoffs. Until then, general manager Darcy Regier should be working the phones and looking at ways to improve this team. And after watching last night’s game, the list of improvements could be longer than a 9-year-old’s Christmas list.
What we’ve been [...]

Wants and Needs: St. Louis Blues

By Chris on March 2, 2010

Tomorrow is D-Day 2010. Welcome to “Wants and Needs” where we look at the rosters of non-playoff contenders and find rental players that might help the Sabres. Today we purge the St. Louis Blues.

The likely suspects:
Paul Kariya (12 goals, 29 points, $6 million cap hit)
Keith Tkachuk (12 goals, 28 points, $2.125 million cap hit )
Alexander Steen (15 [...]

The Trade Deadline Mega Live Blog Cometh

By Ryan on March 2, 2010

Last year the NHL trade deadline was one of the most sucessful days in the brief history of the Roost. We didn’t get any links from anyone, but a lot of people showed up for the liveblog that we put on and it was fun to follow all the chaos in real time.
We wanted to do [...]

Wants and Needs: Florida Panthers

By Chris on March 1, 2010

By Chris
The NHL Trade Deadline is Wednesday at 3 p.m., which means there’s not a lot of time left for Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier to evaluate both his roster and the rosters of teams looking to sell. The Sabres should probably be looking for a top-six scorer and a powerplay quarterback. If they can acquire [...]

The Aftermath

By Chris on March 1, 2010

By Chris

That was painful.
The look on Miller’s face said it all. They wanted that game so bad…and it just had to be Crosby, didn’t it?
It’s still sinking in, but let’s face it: No one expected Team USA to be in that game. On paper, they were maybe the fourth best team in the Olympics and for them [...]

Wants and Needs: Goaltenders

By Chris on February 12, 2010

By Chris

The Sabres definitely look like a tired hockey club. They’ve just coughed up the division lead and after tomorrow night’s game against the Sharks, they won’t suit up again until March 2 against Pittsburgh. For many players that are struggling right now (Craig Rivet, Steve Montador and pretty much everyone else), the two week rest [...]

Wants and Needs: Columbus Blue Jackets

By Chris on February 9, 2010

By Chris
The race has gotten tighter, but the Buffalo Sabres should probably win the Northeast Division with the roster they have now. If they want to become a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, however, they might need a little help. Welcome to “Wants and Needs,” where we purge the rosters of the bottom-feeding teams and see who [...]

On Unbased Rumors

By Chris on February 9, 2010

By Chris

There have been rumors flying about the Sabres looking to acquire Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu from the Anaheim Ducks. I’ve heard it from a lot of different people now, so it’s probably worth addressing.
Personally, I’d love both of those guys in Buffalo. I’ve said before that I think Selanne would be the perfect Deadline Day [...]
