Trade deadline

Today is the trade deadline in Hockey. It's actually at 3:00PM. The Hames family are official Sabres fans, and only want what's best for the Sabres. In my opinion, what's best for the Sabres is doing nothing. Admitteldy, I had momentary visions of Gary Roberts on the Sabres. He'll go to the Penguins where he'll play with Crosby who was 3 years old when Roberts last won the Stanley Cup.

Don't trade Marty Biron for the sake of trading Marty Biron. Keep him on the bench as insurance. Don't panic. Most of the guys who are injured will come back before or during the playoffs.

Last year, at the start of the playoffs, Derek Roy, Jason Pomenville, Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek were rookies in the league. They had zero playoff games under their belt. Now, they are grizzled veterans with a game 7 in the eastern conference under their belts. True, they don't have Stanley Cup Final experience, but I'll take the experience they have and bet the farm on them.

And, I will take Tim Connelly on the power play, anytime he's ready. Because in the playoffs, the power plays are that much more important. That said, I'll post trades as soon as i hear them.

Well, looks like they didn't listen to you and traded him. Aunt Tracey is a Leaf fan and will always be a Leaf fan and you can imagine the joy when learning that the Leaf's got Yanic Perreault - again - and again. Love AT
