I thought I had Lebrun and then I realized I just have so many hockey fans on my list that they retweet him if he says anything worthwhile.

That's one thing I find frustrating, get the same post retweeted by everyone else. I find dregger is bad for it. That and his assine that's hockey question of the day.

Kyproes makes me laugh. He'll post something and act like he broke the story, while ignoring the fact that Bobby mac or Lebrun posted it a few hours later.
 
Eklund says "The Sabres and Leafs are not going to get a Kaberle deal done. Look elsewhere for Kaberle now I was told."

:lol For whatever it's worth. Probably nothing.
 
The Buffalo Sabres might be in the Sheldon Souray hunt because they only got 30 goals from all of their defencemen last season, including 11 from rookie Tyler Myers.

The Sabres also got only three goals on the power play from the back-end.

Souray and Sabres captain Craig Rivet played together in Montreal, which might be a hook.

For the right deal, Buffalo's looking to move either centre Tim Connolly or Derek Roy, and winger Drew Stafford, who has stumbled as a first-round draft, is also in play.

They aren't keen on re-signing veteran blue-liners Toni Lydman and Henrik Tallinder, which takes $6.4 million off the books.

What makes Souray attractive is his salary is only $4.5 million while his salary cap hit is $5.4 million. The Sabres have no real cap issues.

While there’s talk Ilya Kovalchuk could leave the New Jersey Devils and sign in Los Angeles because they could use a marquee attraction, one agent isn’t so sure.

“(GM) Dean Lombardi went after Marian Hossa for his character last summer and then he traded for Ryan Smyth, for the same reason. I think Dean will sign (Patrick) Marleau instead,” said the veteran agent.

If you really like Versteeg as a GM, you'll probably find a way to fit in Sopel. Stick him in the press box if you have some cap space available. I could see Burke doing this, but it probably depends on Finger.
 
I can see the appeal of that deal for both teams. Roy and Horton are similar statisticly and agewise but very different types of players. A change of scenery could benefit both.

I'm also certain the mandate for Tallon in Florida is to change the peices but not sell the farm to rebuild
 
Connelly I would take a chance on ... if this guy could ever stay healthy ... man he would be a dandy player!

Roy for Horton seems like kind of a pointless sideways move for both teams.

it makes more sense for buffalo than florida.

for florida it would just be a case of trading a good player who is maybe not the best dressing room guy and just jumping at an opportunity to (maybe) replace his offense.

i think buffalo could legitimately use a big, strong forward with skill.

i think vanek is their second biggest forward behind gaustad.

they need a first or second liner who can bang and crash, and do some of the dirty work.

pominville, connolly, roy, vanek, hecht, ennis are all small and/or soft.
