Bring Brendan Shanahan to Buffalo

by Matts29 on Oct 3, 2009 10:33 PM EDT

Come on Sabres fans!! A new season is upon us and one of the greatest players to ever wear a pair of skates is without a team. Let's tell Sabres management that we want Brendan Shanahan in Buffalo!!! The man has skill, guts and most importantly, rings! Let’s offer him a contract!!! So, leave a comment in support and we’ll send the team a petition that let’s them know fans want this man in a Sabres uniform!!! http://sabresworld.wordpress.com/

That is the disclaimer written at the bottom of the post. This is what separates Die by the Blade from other Sabres blogs. It is truly a community and everyone has an opportunity to share their views on the Sabres. We don’t always agree but everyone gets a voice.

If the Sabres weren’t a team that needed to roll four lines and had a big need for power play help, then I’d strongly consider Shanahan. But I don’t see what he adds to the team right now.

I agree

with the Kais’ assessment. I don’t see room for a Shanahan at this point unless you are talking about bringing in the former Broncos coach to help the Bills…

Why

I just don’t understand why we would bring in a crusty old veteran like Shanahan to this team. He brings absolutely nothing to the table for us. He is not better than any of our top 6 forwards at this point in his career. He wouldn’t improve our PP. He literally is not even good enough to make New Jersey’s roster. Why would he be good enough to make ours? Perhaps you meant to bring Shanahan in as a coach? I’m not even sure that would be a good idea

HAHA! yeah, totally wrong blog.

Growth will come from inside and having Timmay play more than 60 games. I am quite excited for the Vanek-Connolly connection to fire up.

HAHA

Yea good to see you over here NO. Indeed MIKE Shanahan may be a nice fit in Orchard Park.
I too am excited to see TV and Connolly light the lamp this season many times

I am too as long as you aren’t talking abotu Connoly turning on the reading light above his hospital bed. If not, then I totally agree….he has seemed to look shot slightly more in these first two games. He has a good shot, he needs to use it.
