Allegedly

- MCGUIZZY

r u kidding? whats wrong with
pysk
leduc
mcnabb
mccabe
biega
crawford

not to mention we have 2 d that will nto be going anywhere for a long time

i am sure it is a combination of the players and the coach. i was just saying in general just becuase you are good at somethign it doesn't mean you can coach it too

not until they play defense or get a goalie
- Homer

Right, that is why I said next year. They need time to gel and mature.

Plenty of goalies on the market in the summer.

Once again, they win the division NEXT YEAR.

Dubnyk could really benefit from some D help. He is not a bad goalie he has zero help. I think he gets thrown under the bus by some but really its the team in front of him
- Stripes77

he will never be a top half goalie not even on jersey

Biega and crawford will never see the NHL barring injuries. Leduc could go either way but McCabe, McNabb and Pysyk are solid.

better stats than miller

biega and crawford are not NHL defensemen. Leduc may not be either. I like pysyk, mccabe and mcnabb. Beyond that not many potential nhlers

Been doing a lot of reading up on scouting reports, from actual NHL teams amateur scouting, and they are coming out and saying that the media is over hyping the depth of this draft as well as some players.

That maybe the top 1-8 spots are really great prospects, but theres a big fall off from there.

I guess we'll find out in a couple years

Biega might see the NHL saturday.. Have they said who is coming up?

I still dont see them being any better than any of the California teams or Vancouver, so for me that's 5th at best

agreed. JGL will probably end up like Grags

well he did say because of injuries.....

His numbers the last two years arent that terrible honestly .916 SV% last year and .914 this year. Imagine what he could do with defense. His numbers are better than Brodeur's the last 2 seasons and he has defense! No I'm not saying he is Brodeur but I think he would be a a top 15 goalie on a better team

ok so you just named 3 nhl potential d men and you still say we need mroe d man over forwards?

we are light on wingers as well. beyond Armia and Tropp i am not sure we have much goign on.. unless you count the centers that are playing wing.

hes been too busy studying the game tape
- robz228

LOOK AT THE GAME TAPE!!

Biega might see the NHL saturday.. Have they said who is coming up?
- SabresFaninIndiana

wont be Biega

I agree to a point that the draft is a crap shoot.

The more picks you have the better chance you have of hitting. Remember Pernel Karl was ranked outside the top 100 players in his draft year and was rated 70 slots lower then Brennan. Some players rise to the occasion some crap out.

u can say that about anyone
- hubie

Arugment was made he wouldnt be a top half goalie on New Jersey. I disagree. He has the numbers to prove that on a crappy Edmonton team.

- hubie

Its not about right now. its about the future. We are about to deplete all of our d-men from Rochester. You need to restock and have depth for the future. Besides who knows if those guys will work out long term?
