Not really.

From the last blog...


I think we keep Vanek now... after doing a lot of reading around the internet and really seeing what people think about it.... Unless Vanek out right demands a trade.. I think we keep him until AT LEAST the deadline...

Miller is as good as gone. .and I think stafford gets flipped for an experienced played like Okposo or Burmistov (WPG guy).

I am really curious of how this team is going to fill its lines....

Vanek - Hodgson - ??
Ott - Ennis - Grigorenko (Maybe?.. I think Ennis could be traded)
Foligno - ?? - Flynn (Maybe Larsson in there or Girgensons by mid year)
Gerbe - Porter - Kaleta
Scott

Where does Leino fit in? Where does Stafford fit in or who he is traded for?
-JVince



I think Vanek and Miller are traded
No one is going to take on Leino's contract, and he was decent in limited time for us, so I think they keep him this year
Stafford will prob also be here, bc no one will give us a good enough offer to move him... Our best hope is he has a bounce back year & we can move him at the deadline for something decent

Without any major acquisitions, I see opening night looking something like this...
Foligno-Hodgson-Tropp... Both played on Hodgson's line in Roch during the lockout
Leino/Ott-Ennis-Stafford/Flynn
Ott/Leino-Grigorenko-Flynn/Stafford
Gerbe-Porter-Kaleta
-McCormick
-Scott

Yikes, I know...
But it let's Armia, Girgensons & Larsson develop a bit more in Rochester, at least to start
And also factoring in a Miller trade....
It's looking like we'll be drafting in the top3 next year
Which I'm actually ok with

Gonna be a rough year though

Ott Hodgson Leino
Gerbe Ennis Stafford
Flynn Porter MacArthur
Folngino McCormick Kaleta
Scott Ellis

Put Grigorenko, Girgenson Armia, Larrson the 8th and 16th in Rochester for a season and let them develop and build cemisry.

I would sign a third line winger like MacArthur it does not have to be MacArthur but some one that can play a solid game he does not have to wow you.

I would make a very strong push for Horton as well.

Unless they are Euro or Americans that have never played in the CHL, that is not allowed.

Grigorenko, Girgenson, Armia, Larrson, can all play in rochester the only to that might have to play in the chl is the 8th and 16th pick.

I'm pretty sure Grigorenko has a year of Junior eligibility left, so he can't play in Rochester either

IMO the Sabres should just stay with the 8th and 16th picks and build from there, if we keep Vanek and Miller great if not they move on without them.

Grigorenko can play in rochester Darcy Regeir said so.

Has anyone seen some of the pictures from the combine? Just look at MacKinnon compared to Jones...





MacKinnon's several months younger as well...

My first thought is are you gay? Then thought at the age of 17 what is a few months really? Not sure what your emplyong but maybe you llike looking at them?

One seems to be in better shape than the other.

I notice none of the consensus top 5 are in attendance...

I'd go with those two if available.

First off, your pathetic attempts to troll are getting increasingly worse. Second, even if I was gay, (though I am not) why would you be against it? Homophobe. Also, I'm "emplyong" that MacKinnon is in a hell of a lot better condition than Jones is. Enjoy your likely incoming ban.

Why would I be banded? Did you go cry to the mods because of my poor spelling? I forget.....How many languages do you speak?

Secondly at the age of 17 you can tell who is in better shape by looking in a picture??? Well you sound even more niave then I thought.....


Maybe hit the report post button a few more times....coming from someone who gets banned all the time you would know the standards...

There is no sense in even having an intelligent conversation with mr.

From the pictures one appears to have never lifted a weight, the other looks like a workout fiend.

No, you'll get banned because you're a homophobic piece of poop actually. Congrats, Mr. Language Extraordinaire. You know how to use google translate
Only you would contest the fact MacKinnon is in much better shape than Jones.
What I really don't understand is how you continue to "troll" me no matter how many times we come to find common ground. You're just another pathetic, lonely bastard starved for attention. I ask kindly that you (frank) off, and go (frank) yourself.

do you want the script to give todd an internet abortion? it has made browsing hockey buzz 100% less annoying.

the only problem is when people quote him i still see it so trying to get as many people on board as possible

I've tried using the script, but I have no clue how to use it. I know you're supposed to paste it in the address bar, but I don't know if you're supposed to make it an extension of your current URL, or have your address only the script... I'm about as much a tech-wiz as todd is a poly-lingual mastermind.
