QCity Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 bring back Enroth I would like it, but I think he's too small for GMTM's tastes. Would be funny if they sign Scrivens, with the lovefest between him and Lehner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 @SabresPR Full audio of Tim Murray's July 1 media availability can be found at Sabres Digital Press Box https://t.co/N35Qpyy5UQ MURRAY: "Kyle was at the top of our list." Asked about missing out on Stamkos.MURRAY: "He wasn't picky between Ryan or Jack."MURRAY: "This shows that we are a destination for players. He's a hell of a player. He's a goal scorer and has a power forward's body."MURRAY: "He didn't have a choice of 30 teams. But a lot of teams were interested and he chose to come here."MURRAY: On Vesey, "Will go next week to meet with him. Tell him how much we need him."MURRAY: "It was one conversation on the phone. We got a call back from his agent saying he really liked the call, and had interest in us."MURRAY: "I didn't have to sell him on Buffalo, I didn't have to sell him on Buffalo as a city, I had to sell on the organization."MURRAY: "I thought I had a goalie done, I had a verbal agreement and it was reneged upon."MURRAY: "It was not Chad Johnson who reneged upon our agreement."MURRAY: "It has never happened to me, I called the GM he signed with to tell him my story, he had a similar story." On Goalie reneging.MURRAY: "We've called and thanked Stamkos' agency for allowing a meeting with us. He's a great young man, and it was a great experience."MURRAY: "I like our top-6 forwards a lot. I think we're competitive with a lot of the teams in the league."MURRAY on Risto talks: "We have a number we know we are traveling to. He told us he wants to be here, and we want him to be here."MURRAY: "We are going down the road of a long term deal. If there are bumps in talks we may do bridge, but we want to get long term done."MURRAY: "We worked a long time on Jake's deal. Went back and forth for a while. I think both sides are very happy with the deal."MURRAY: "Cole's a local kid, played a few years in Binghamton. He's a very talented, smart hockey player, he's been in the gym since May."MURRAY: "Cole is working out supervised now. He's going to come in bigger, stronger and faster than before."MURRAY: "We have a few more depth guys to sign for sure. A couple more targets that we'd call depth guys, and the goalie situation."MURRAY: "It is a very serious charge and we take it very seriously, but I want to wait and see if he's been charged and if he's guilty."MURRAY: "Kane needs to pick and choose his spots when he goes out much better, and he needs to behave himself much better when he does."MURRAY: "We're going to let the process happen, and whenever it ends we will sit down and talk with him about the results good or bad."MURRAY: "We all worry about term in free agency, he's a young free agent. We don't expect to see a massive drop off in his game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 It almost feels like it could be an AHL move, a bit of a head scratcher. Do they really go with Ulmark and Kasdorf in Rochester or do they let on start in the ECHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Went to the first practice at Harborcenter today. What a great facility, it was my first time there. Was disappointed that Nylander wasn't on the ice, he and Fasching were part of the second practice. A couple notes: Justin Bailey looks bigger and stronger than everyone else on the ice. The second round pick, Aspland, stood out. He's fast and scored on a couple of laser wrist shots that beat the goalie cleanly. The two goalies looked good, too. They made a few really nice saves. Afterward took a walk through Canalside, which was teeming with tourists. Downtown Buffalo is really on the upswing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 @BNHarrington New at [bN] Hockey: With #Sabres meeting Vesey today, are #Blackhawks a stealth contender on Aug. 15? https://t.co/NJMAnRH0vM The Jimmy Vesey Sweepstakes is heating up in earnest as the Sabres are expected to have their initial sit-down with the Hobey Baker Award winner today in Boston.In John Vogl's story on Vesey, The News reported Wednesday night a charter company used by owner Terry Pegula had a plane leave Buffalo on Wednesday night and land at the suburban Boston airport frequented by the Sabres. Vesey confirmed to NHL.com after his summer league game Wednesday that he will be meeting with the Sabres today in Beantown."I think we have a small number of teams that I think we'll really be focusing on," Vesey said. "So, Aug. 15 we'll start talking to them and see what they say."But while most of the Vesey talk has centered around the Sabres, Boston and Toronto, why is Vesey waiting until free agency on Aug. 15? Likely to see what other offers might be coming his way. The Chicago Blackhawks seem to be a good candidate and it would appear they're interested. @BuffaloSabres #21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Sabres trade rumor getting some play: Sabres to trade Ennis and Franzen for Rick Nash. Bet it or forget it? gross. Nash seems like a good guy but he never lived up to expectations in Cbus. lots if talent but no guts or leadership. If Ennis isn't able to play that's one thing but if he can, I'd rather have him than Nash. Edited July 7, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
