Just noting that we also added a couple of D-men. Mikko Lehtonen and Helbling, depth players for sure, but could fill in if they had to.

Well, I'd say the past couple of years worth of plays have made this guy can't miss. I think Patrick Willis would be defensive rookie of the year if we picked him. Within j2 years he'd be an AFC lock at MLB in the pro bowl every year. I truly think he's that good.

I think, also, that Marty may have been moved to clear some cap space so that the Sabres could activate Tim COnnoly. Not sure if they had the room.

I miss something? If it was already posted & discussed, and I missed it, mods, please delete.

Give me a DT, G and Harper, then draft Patrick Willis. If that was our offseason I'd dance a friggin jig.

about the blind side hit on Drury.... I love Golisano!! http://www.wgr550.com/sabres/fullstory.php?id=2195

So who's coming our way? Guerin, gone to SJ, Adams, re-signed by Phoenix, Larques gone to Pit, Roberts, gone to Pit...who's left....Bertuzzi? No way. Aaron Miller is still available. EDIT: or perhaps, maybe, just maybe...Smyth?

That Preston will be given a chance to show what he can do in OTAs, training camp, preseason and during the season. You don't throw down the gauntlet by publicly calling someone out to step up and then not give them a chance to show their stuff. So, no, he won't be cut. He doesn't make much, and even if he is demoted, he'll be kept around for depth purposes. The demotion would likely occur during the season, unless Preston is completely a waste, which I don't believe is the case (at least we have never heard anything to that effect). So, my point, is that he probably won't be cut.

Anyone read french? This site seems to be updating very frequently. http://www.rds.ca/hockey/transactions2007/

tsn is breaking the story.

Did you even listen to the press conference last week???

You could do a split. I have seasons, yes they will be renewed, and split with a good friend who lives in Pittsburgh. We each take 4 games a year. It works pretty well.

See the video in the thread I linked to to see Willis filling the holes (against LSU, no less). Also, you'll see in the replay Willis shedding the block of the G, and stepping up to make a thunderous tackle. I can watch that video all day. EDIT: Here ya go!! With regards to the senior bowl, c'mon its a friggin all star game. What type of system do you think they had time to put in place? Its basically sandlot football. And yes, sometimes you end up out of position in those circumstances and get roasted. Or, you have the athleticism to track a guy down 35 yeards downfield. I see that as a good thing.

Guys, he is not getting 13 mil this year. He is getting 6. Thus, our "cash to cap" remaining is about 27 mil. We had 33 mil. Relax, we have plenty of "cash to cap" money to sign players.

As you can see, I'm leading the charge for this kid. He'll be an all-pro MLB for the Bills. Official Draft Patrick Willis thread

If we deal McGahee to the Giants (along with our 3rd or 4th rounder), could we end up with the Giants 1st round pick? Take Marshawn Lynch at 12 and Patrick Willis with the Giants 1st rounder? Is this so far fetched?

I like this statement combined with the fact that they will not release the criteria for who gets a second check and you can draw the obvious logical conclusion.... Every single remotely attractive chick will have to go thru this.

Must remind self...6 weeks left until playoffs....relax, we'll be healthy for the playoffs.

Damn Drury Out

This guy's signs are absolutely terrific!! Has anyone been there (outside Pittsburgh)? Enjoy... Signs that speak the truth!!

AD, I second your feeling...the baby Sabres rock!!

DREW STAFFORD!!!!!

And yet they'll call on Briere a penalty and put Ottawa on the PP for the rest of the OT. Awful!

Tallinder off the post! That would have been awesome to end it that way.
