Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted March 21, 2014 i keep a close eye on our former players and whilst Val is having a good season and Jiri so so, poor old Ville played his 50th game of the season the other night and still hasnt scored!! His 12 helpers is his sum total to date. In 37 games ex Wing Matt Ellis has 3+2 on the Sabres roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted March 21, 2014 Fil has 11 points the last 7 games and had a pretty sick goal last night. Sorry, I can't help myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wings87 1,290 Report post Posted March 21, 2014 Another former Wings player who made a mistake leaving is, Brunner he should have stayed with the Wings, the guy had 1 season under his belt(which wasn't even that good, but he looked better in the playoffs) and got greedy. Now he's stuck in a system that he doesn't fit in with. If he stayed here he might have kept growing, but instead he is stuck in NJ. 1 Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted March 21, 2014 bad advice by his agent i would guess. RH shot badly needed on the top 6 for the Wings, he would gotten enough chance's with Detroit. He asked too much for his 1 season and the Wings went and got Alfie at more $ yes but Alfie's record speaks for itself. Brunner should have seen the long term goal instead of short term gain. As long as he's happy in Jersey i guess thats all that matters. 2 wings87 and wingsfan4795 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may not be stuck for long because you know how Holland likes to bring back former players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted March 22, 2014 Ville Leino is doing what it takes to get that #1 pick. He's the only one who really gets it. You mock him now, but one day, when the Sabres are the most dominant team in the modern era, you'll remember Ville Leino, the selfless hero who took it upon himself to turn the organization around and put it on the path to future glory. And you mocked him. 8 VM1138, MidMichSteve, MabusIncarnate and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
