Ville Leino Out Indefinetly With A Cracked Rib

[IPostedWhat]

Just when you thought his contract couldn't look any more pathetic for the Sabres.

Apparently he sustained the injury in the 1st period of the game last night, and managed to "play" the rest of the game.

Ennis will now be moved to wing and Larrson to center.

I really looking forward to seeing Larrson play. I think he has the chance now to show what he can do and get himself a permanent spot on the roster.

Glad he's not a Wing anymore.

Should we be sad about this?

Should we be sad about this?

I was just going to say, what's more valuable to the Sabres, a healthy Leino or the cap space he provides when he's on LTIR

 

[Mintyp69]

I was hoping and praying the Sabres were going to buy him out in the off season, didn't happen..can we buy him out in the upcoming offseason per the new cba?

 

[IPostedWhat]

Should we be sad about this?

Yes, because we have to put up with this kind of shit for another 3 years after this one.

No one is going to take that contract off our hands. We might as well just wave him and eat it.

 

[IPostedWhat]

He makes me wish we had Connolly back.

Didn't realize he was still in the league...though he went back to Finland after he left philly....

Has he every caught a good break.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Has he every caught a good break.

Docs say he broke his rib pretty good, so guess the answer is yes.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Geez when I said he should be the team captain I didn't think he be injured. Sorry Sabres fans.

 

[DevilishWon]

Has he every caught a good break.

Absolutely, it was when he found the agent who negotiated his contract with Buffalo...that was one of the all-time good breaks!

Do Leino, Dipietro & Bryzgalov have the same agent?

They could still buy him out in the off-season if he's healthy.

The way I understand it, they couldn't buy him out this past offseason because he was injured.

Damn, I was sure he was going to score 40 goals this year !!

No, it's 40 goals over the life of the contract

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

No, it's 40 goals over the life of the contract

Sounds a little high. 10 goals over the first two seasons (1/3) of the contract. Granted, one of those was a shortened season, but he still sucks.
