Robert Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I really hope the GM's vote in favor of extending OT to 10 minutes. 3-on-3 would be super exciting but I think that's too radical for the old school NHL way of thinking. But a 10 minute OT with the long change in effect would pretty much eliminate shootouts except in rare cases of Buffalo playing Philadealphia.

The Man Known as Dan Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Panthers apparently open to trading "everyone except 5 players". Probably the most interesting one is Kulikov. Â Also, guess whose back in the Note! Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I hope Kulikov goes somewhere like Detroit. No idea if they need, want, or could use him but it'd be nice to see him freed to a good home. I do like that Kulikov is available but Gudbranson who has brought nothing to the table but poorly timed hits and even more poorly timed penalties probably isn't. The Panthers will never ever change.

And, really, we're all losers when those two match up.  Guess whose going to be in Philly next week for that one? The crowd may end up looking like one of the preseason games.  And WELCOME HOME TED NOLAN!!!!!! He's just the type of guy we need running things, there aren't many who are better at getting the most out of the least him. I'm also relieved that Darcy got shitcanned because he was shopping me to a contender for their #1 pick in the 2014 NHL Fan Entry Draft (I have veto rights blocking a trade to Carolina, Boston and the Rangers).

Newb82 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Rolston never should have gotten taken from the Amerks. If Nolan can bring back the "Hardest Working Team in Hockey" ethic, it'll be a lot of help, since there will probably be a lot of player turnover in the near future, since I kept hearing the word "toxic" to describe the Sabres' locker room today. Hopefully whoever Patty picks for GM will be able to fleece another GM and get rid of bums like Stafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully whoever Patty picks for GM will be able to fleece another GM and get rid of bums like Stafford. I think dumping Darcy Regier right now was a bad move for the team going forward (I understand the firing was done to improve the team in the fan's opinions/because fans weren't renewing season tickets) but Darcy Regier is absolutely the guy you want managing a team that's already out of it basically and is planning on dumping players for picks/prospects. -He sent Thomas Vanek, with just 3/4s of a season left on his deal for a 1st rounder, 2nd rounder and a player in  Matt Moulson whom will likely fetch a 1st or 2nd at the deadline. -Earlier this year, at the deadline, he sent out Jordan Leopold with 2 months left on his deal and picked up a 2nd and 5th. -Also this year, he got Johan Larsson, Matt Hackett and a 1st round pick for Jason Pominville. -Again this year, he snagged two 2nd rounders for Robyn Regehr, who had a couple months left on his deal. -In 2012, he got a 1st rounder for Paul Gaustad (on an expiring deal) and a 4th. -In 2008, he got Steve Bernier (whom he later flipped for a 2nd and 3rd) and a 1st round pick for Brian Campbell on an expiring deal.  Regier is a guy who consistently gets more than he should for players on expiring contracts (I still can't believe he got a 1st rounder for Paul Gaustad when Marek Zidlicky, Antoine Vermette, Andrei Kostitsyn, Johnny Oduya, and Nicklas Grossman were all dealt at the deadline that year and not one of them fetched a 1st rounder in return).  Personally, I probably would have kept Regier on to the end of the year, then dumped him after the season was over.

Newb82 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Darcy is great is stockpiling draft picks...and not so great at using them. The only position he knows how to draft is goaltender. In his tenure he never drafted a player that finished in the top 40 in scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
