Rumors to Chew on 23 Hours Beforehand

by Zachary Zielonka on Mar 3, 2009 4:08 PM EST

With the deadline ending in 23 hours, here are a few things to think about.

Bucky Gleason from the News is reporting a rumor that Marty Biron might be heading to Buffalo in a three way deal with the Phoenix in the middle. You guys don't need to know what my thoughts are. But do I get the credit if I thought of bringing him here two weeks ago?

According to Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, the Sabres and Connolly have not gotten any closer to signing a new contract but they are supposed to go to the table again sometime tonight. Signing Connolly would not be a bad thing but it would depend on the moves that the Sabres make.

I sent this story on to Brad Riter and his take was the right one. You only make this trade if Miller is broken. After all the Sabs have Patrick under contract for another year or so. Still, I will take it if it gets Max and Tallinder out of there.

Agreed

this trade only makes sense if Miller is out for awhile. After all it hasn’t been the fault of Lalime recently has it? We should be more concerned about adding some scoring than adding a goalie. I to would like to see Tallinder and Afinogenov out of here but for a rental goalie?

I like Biron as a stop gap if Miller is out for awhile but otherwise, I’ll pass.

I would love that in the next CBA negotiation, the teams are allowed the option to have the coach yell “cut” while the player is on the ice during a game and they don’t have to pay them anything past that point. I might give a year’s salary to see this happen to Max.

I Don’t see Biron coming back to the Sabres
Like it or not he is still the best option the Flyers have, and they will need someone in net for the playoffs…
