N.Y. Orangeman Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Here's hoping it is ANA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Why, don't they have Big Ben? 388405[/snapback] This is completely different than football. And I really wouldn't count Ben as someone that will help save a franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 i say send him to anaheim...we'd see him a lot less then, and presonally i'd rather not play him a bunch of times, then potentially in the playoffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Here's hoping it is ANA. 388406[/snapback] yeah me too... if this guy isn't a bust, it would be great to get him out of the eastern conference. commercial break. i'll update the order when they pick. TSN sure is putting on a great show here! (i'd pay directv for that channel.) nevermind. its pittsburgh At least we know it wasn't fixed to a large market team. If you're an nhl conspiracy theorist like me, now we can bi+ch about the rigging to get crosby paired with mario lepieux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound_n_Fury Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Jesus friggin Christ. Pittsburgh. 388415[/snapback] Better for the NHL that he's in the Eastern Time Zone. Sabre's really boned at 13...not much immediate help gonna come with this pick. Oh Well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spun Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 At least the pick goes to a small market. Bring on Vanek and Roy and hopefully a quality free agent. But #13 sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Wheels Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The Sabres and Panthers were screwed by the drawing...what is the point of watching your team suck and not make the playoffs....and then end up with a mediocre or low draft position. @#%$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was wondering about Free Agency, hopefully Buffalo gets some good players there. At least someone to bring the fans back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will help the team greatly. Like the bills, the sabres are not far off at all. I'm also a realist with this crosby kid... So far, its all marketing. We'll all see how he does in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
