I agree. Sekera does nothing for me either. I would trade him if they think Brennen will be able to take over that role.

I would like to see McNabb up here a some point to.. I think he has the potential to be a great Defensive D-man... Great guy too.. the few weeks i was with the Amerks i enjoyed talking to him the most..

No but niether Brad Boyes or Raffi torres suck but they sucked badly here. Boyes has 10 pts already in NY, he was on the 4th line here. It was obvious he and Ruff did not get along
- sbroads24

Boyes has 9 points and he is a -6

correct, but thats about it
- Homer

There are a few above average players. Again not to get into the Myers thing but he has been above average for a better part of his career. But I think the foundation of Hoff, Sekera, and Myers are a good top3 if they play to their paychecks

Boyes has 9 points and he is a -6
- Homer

Tavares is a -6 too.

Tavares is a -6 too.
- sbroads24

probably because they are on the same line.

he was "put in the basement" here because when he had a chance he did nothing with it.
- Homer

Not really, he scored 5 goals here when he came here, then he was in the doghouse last year almost immediately while guys like Stafford stayed on the top6 and were in slumps.

probably because they are on the same line.

I love how everyone says Kassian is benefiting from playing with the sedins. No he is benefiting from not playing with McCormick and Ellis. Hodgson IS BENEFITING from playing with the leagues leading scorer and he is a minus 3 and vanek has 11 more points. Watch where hodgson is now that vanek will come down to earth

and what have these players done since leaving here? Very little.

Lindy doesnt coach the goalie...at all. That's why they dont count.
- Homer

Boyes has 9pts in 12 games
Torres still plays an important part with his team and still puts up 30pts/year.
Zubrus had 17g and 27a last year

Lindy doesn't coach the goalie, but decides when they play which affected every back up goalie we've had except for Marty.

HOMER can back this up. Lindy went to Darcy and they are trying to bring back Dixon ward,stu Barnes,Adam Mair,bob corkum,Matt Ellis,Paul Gaustad,mike Grier,Chris Taylor,Andrew peters and it will be announced that the new captain is jochen Hecht playing in his 43 rd season in buffalo

I think I saw MIke Grier on the planes manefesto

I think time will tell if brad boyes turns out to be an anomaly, he might be the only one of those listed who actually didn't do as hot under lindy. He's also playing on a much better line in Long Island.

but in my opinion there's always going to be someone.

Either way I'd say its hard to prove lindy actually consistently makes players worse

probably because they are on the same line.
- Homer

Who cares. Boyes has some good numbers before buffalo and now it looks like he is gonna have decent numbers after buffalo.

Boyes was hardly given a shot. I would rather have Roy or Boyes over Stafford or Hecht.

probably because they are on the same line.
- Homer

So he is good enough for their 1st line but only good enough for our 4th. Common sense tells me we should be a much better team then, but the standings do not show that

we can go round and round like we have....

It just seems you believe "play me more and I'll play better" where I believe in "play better and I'll play you more. "

Well lindy obviously doesn't believe in either. He believes in "If I like you, You will play".

Boyes has 9 points and he is a -6
- Homer

Essentially... Briere, Drury, and Campbell all went on to do good things after leaving buffalo... but not really any other players had "good" success.

montador, rivet, bernier, spacek, tallinder, lydman, Torres, Moore, Tellqvist, etc.

Homer bad argument,then want do you say about Roy and Kassian. Dallas hasnotalentand they are winning.

he doesnt have a lot of options with this roster....its not exactly loaded

I'd say they were all marginal players to begin with, with maybe one or two exceptions

Those guys were either washed up by the time they left or they were scrubs to begin with. We really haven't had many skilled guys come and go here in Buffalo. Drury, Briere, Campbell, and thats about it.

Whos Roy skating with since benn signed I havent watched a stars game since before then

Dallas has no talent?

I anxiously await our embarrassment come Sunday afternoon.
Crosby has not scored in 2 games. Only 2 goals in 9 games.
You know where I am going with this.

Ok, I wouldnt.
- Homer

Are you serious???? Stafford is brutal and Hecht should be in a nursing home.
