that was great. thanks.

this might be my new favorite anecdote:

Ken Daneyko: What kind of guy gets called into the GM’s office and is told he’s being sent to down to the minors and replies, “No … No, I’m not.†Then goes out for practice and convinces the brass to send somebody else down instead. You’re a legend, King.

‏@BNHarrington - Former #Sabres and #Bisons voice Pete Weber moving from TV to Radio next year for #Predators.

Building on the success of both of the Predators’ broadcast partners, the 2015-2016 season will include even more coverage - including expanded features and more pre-game and post-game coverage. Additionally, fans who tune-in to game broadcasts will hear familiar voices in new places. The “Voice of the Predators” Pete Weber will move into the Predators radio play-by-play role and Willy Daunic, who was behind the radio play-by-play mic in 2014-2015, will move into the television play-by-play role.

Weber - “It’s been a great run on the Predators television broadcasts these last 17 years, including many of those early seasons which featured simulcasts, but I’m looking forward to returning to the medium that first gave me my love for sports broadcasting - the radio,” “Not only am I excited to be calling all 82 regular-season games, but I’m also looking forward to being on the call for every Predators playoff game, and ultimately, getting to call the game when the Predators bring the Stanley Cup to a new home in Nashville.”

LaxSabre - Until a couple of seasons ago - Nashville and Buffalo were the only two teams who had the same commentators for both the Radio and TV broadcasts.

I look forward to see Coyotes getting smashed for tanking next season.

Johnny oduya'a agent says he will make a decision about his playing future next week

At the Vancouver Canucks’ Summer Summit, GM Jim Benning said he had offers on the table to trade goaltender Ryan Miller.

“We could have moved Ryan Miller,†Benning said at the Summit. “There were teams calling on Ryan Miller.â€

Benning’s news to the fans in attendance was met with a chorus of boos.

That said, we’re not sure what type of offers Benning did have. Maybe they weren’t perceived as fair value. Maybe the moves would have made the Canucks take back an unfavorable contract in return. But maybe, for the second straight off-season, the Canucks have made an error between the pipes.

When I think back to the GM search the Sabres did with Benning one of the rumored candidates at the time, I'm really glad he was passed over for Murray. I haven't been that impressed with Benning's moves since he took over Vancouver.

Gotta think the Sabres chances of landing oduya might have just gotten a lot better. Assuming his offer is still on the table

Well, he was waiting for the Hawks to move out salary...so now they have some space maybe to sign him.

What was Sharp's NTC limit? Dallas seems like an odd "accept"

Why?

Exactly - the Sharp trade helps towards Oduya staying a Hawk rather than leaving.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Would love to see him in Buffalo for a few seasons, but I've heard the Stars have been a sleeper for a Oduya all along.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Seems like this was a move for Chicago to save cap space and still fill Oduya's roster spot, not necessarily to make room to re-sign him. They only saved 900k and I'm not sure that's enough to keep Oduya.

 

[Zip15]

Pierre says Dallas retained half on Garbutt, so only $1.7m in relief from trading Sharp. Still don't have enough room for Oduya.

Dallas is going to be a scary good offense next year.

Dallas is going to be a scary good offense next year.

Dallas is going to be a scary good offense next year.

And for as good as they are on D, they're equally bad on the blueline.

Klingberg, Goligoski and a whole heaping helping of nothing.

And they still need to sign Kruger

Perhaps. But I don't think their goaltending will be nearly as dreadful as last season. I think that's a playoff team next season.

 

[truthbluth]

Daley and Bickell to Buffalo for a prospect?

Nvmd. I'm talking crazy.

Unless they're attaching Schmaltz as an incentive for taking Bickell's contract, absolutely not.
