Aside from his play (I was at the Dallas game and we all started cheering when Maurice finally benched him!), there are credible reports of serious hard partying. The type Betty Ford will need to assist with.

Nope, I still think he'll be an absolute stud. Getting top minutes in Buffalo will let everyone see what he's capable. He can dominate you at either end of the ice, I give him 5 games in a Sabres uniform before he's your favourite player. Love the deal for the Sabres.

No chance he passes Girgensons as my favorite 
I might have missed this here but Seguin and Benn give their opinion on the Sedin's. http://mobile.sportingnews.com/article/4635364-jamie-benn-tyler-seguin-sedin-comments-transcript-stars-canuucks?modid=http%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FcMM8uG5sLw

those are big contracts so would probably be tough to work out trades with contending teams.
could definitely see them waiting til the offseason to move either or both.

Ducks and Preds have some wiggle room as do a few others but agree they may wait till offseason to pull the trigger unless the offer is just too good.Isles would be an interesting fit.

If I'm Toronto, the only guy off my current roster I consider untradeable is Rielly. Anyone else is available. Problem for them is the guys they are likely most interested in moving - Phaneuf, Kessel, Clarkson - will be the ones most difficult to ditch. I'm curious to see what they get for any of those three.
you think Kessel would be hard to move?
I imagine a lot of teams that have trouble scoring would be interested in him.
EDIT: Pierre LeBrun thinks he'd be easy to move too:

Tend to agree that Kessel wouldn't be hard to move. Everyone loves a goal scorer.
I think it would be hard for them to get what they expect or need to get in return, yes. He makes a ton of money and he's known to be soft and a total one-dimensional player. Sure he can produce points, but I think what they will want for him will be a lot higher than what any other team is willing to offer. Doesn't help that he's in a huge slump and may have an injury of some kind right now.
Just my thoughts. I'm usually wrong.

I would think the injury to Zucker might make the Wild a player, although I don't think they'd take on that contract. Or if they even can? But they are going to struggle even more to score goals now.

lol...was going to write exactly the same thing. He's really been impressive the past couple of weeks. I really like how he plays. Makes some dumb mistakes at times but he's just a kid and I'd rather see someone like that being a little overaggressive. That goal was a beauty!
oh, and...ZZZZUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC! He's so fun to watch when he gets on a roll. He seems like the kinda guy whose enthusiasm can be infectious on the team.
Predators are going to be a tough out. Weber may have blown up Tyler Myers kneecap with a slapshot tonight.

I couldn't say the same for "1940" Glad the Rangers finally put an end to that in 94.Sweet... as an Islander fan, I absolutely love it.

But, yeah.... I couldn't imagine chanting "Ron DauGay Sucks" or something.

The Bruins cannot beat Montreal to save their lives .... 0-4 this season.
But the Habs have lost at home to the Sabres, Yotes and Oilers in the past week. Weird.

I think we can say he had a very nice game last night
Good win after giving up a 2 goal lead.
They are looking really solid. What are your thoughts on Miller vs Fast. I like Miller better but AV clearly leans Fast. What am I missing
RUSF18
Footballguy
Would be happy to play both. I think Fast is a bit more consistent and is better defensively, while Miller seems to make one mistake a game that is a potential back breaker.
If they end up making a fairly major deal, I could see Miller going the other way, and even though I wouldn't want to part with him, I'd be okay with that because he doesn't seem like he's going to get a chance to break out under AV.

Zuc was being spoken of as a trade target. If so, his performance over the past couple of weeks is driving the benefits of a trade up.
On a side note, WTF is going on with Marty StL? That give away in his own end last night was terrible.

yeah, I said it last week also. He is a waste out there at this point. Sad to say and wasnt like this all year. But he is not playing well at all
