Hangman officially leaves Buffalo.

Per WGR55 in Buffalo, he has left and headed home. Wow! This guy was a top target for Buffalo and I guess for some reason couldn't sign him. Hurney better get his agent on the phone pronto before he schedules more visits and see if we can get him back here.

I will say this, per buffalo's FA history...if a first day FA leaves, they dont' sign with the team. So apperantly something went south.

Maybe they didn't think he was good enough.

No, he was #2 from what I was told to be their new Center. Saturday was #1. What does it say when the new top target to start at center for you, after being a career backup, leaves.

Wow, things are much worse in Buffalo than people know apperantly. Oh well...maybe he will come back here.

I figure he is not going to commit to any one team unless he has explored his options. At 27 he is going to get one maybe 2 big paychecks. He needs to explore his options. I hope one of those is returning here if we will match the price. Of course starting is important. But so is winning. I wonder how much we want to keep him. We will find out shortly I suspect.

They are looking at Matt Birk.

Odd. Gantt is saying he never even made it :confused:

Hangartner hanging out

Panthers free agent Geoff Hangartner's trip to Buffalo hasn't gone as planned.

Mostly, because he hasn't gotten there yet.

Hangartner left from Austin, Tex., first thing this morning, and 12 hours later, was sitting in the airport in Chicago waiting for yet another connection attempt. He said he's already had two flights canceled, and isn't sure when or if he's getting there.

Once he arrives, expect the Bills to offer him a starting job and more money than the Panthers can match. Even if he doesn't sign there, it sounds like there are enough suitors to make his return here extremely unlikely.

    • I agree that roster construction is a bigger issue than Rod.  I don't know what coach behind the bench is winning this series.  We weren't even supposed to compete this year, but people are mad because we're getting swept in the ECF again.  If we lost in 7 last round people wouldn't feel that way.
    • And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot
    • I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
