i still think they are a bottom 10 type team. those players are decent additions but their D will prob struggle. Halak will look very average with that type of D in front of him

I tend to agree with you here.
NYI will be NYI!!!

Halak and Johnson both IMO. No telling if Johnson can carry the load when Halak goes down.

Grabovski healthy is a good player, can he stay healthy is the issue. If not he's a +/- 40 point guy maybe and Kulemin had one good season 4 yrs ago.

I just don't see them making the playoffs but it is the East and IMO the only locks are TB, Boston, and Pittsburgh.

I just think that either one of those goalies is going to struggle behind that D. and Graber is a downgrade fro Vanek/Moulson even if he is healthy(which he never is). The islanders are in the same spot buffalo was in for years. Just praying that some day that next prospect to come up is be the savior. But like the sabres didn't the Islanders don't have the top end prospect.

Strome, Reinhart, DalColle, and HoSang are no slouches.

I just don't see any of them(not counting Reinhart as he's a dman) coming in and putting up Vanek like numbers.

Nyi are really gonna struggle this year
Halak is good on a good team, average on an average team, and poor on a poor team
I can't wait to see who we get with their pick

In case anyone was wondering Georges said today he's wearing #4.

So that means Moulson keeps #26

Still no word on Reinhart's # but I'd be shocked if it wasn't #23

On avg

Kulemin will get you 76.89 gp and 35.61 pts

Grabovski will get you 71.86 gp and 42.61 pts

Conacher will get you 79.48 gp and 34.69 pts


All based on their avg games played per season and ppg. If a player played part of a season in the minors, I didn't count that as man games lost unless he missed games while with the big club.


That's what just under 10 mil got them.

A bunch wore multiple numbers . Lots of forgotten names in there.

Strome, Reinhart, DalColle, and HoSang are no slouches.

He said the only single digit available was 4. Means 9 is still possibly open for Ott

Yeah heard that as well... Also though D don't often where 9 though..

How could the sabres have the top ranked minor league system and prospects? Maybe at defense but no way at forward, The Amerks have zero scoring forwards. Armia can't score yet but I do feel he will improve, guys like Luke Adam have zero chance to make the NHL and the rest of the Amerks are all vets with no shot at NHL or they are 5'1". Forwards the sabres are majority lacking in prospects. People will talk about some guy they drafted next year and blah blah the guy looks like a future captain playing for his college team etc...In the real world the sabres are lacking in scoring forwards, even darcy said that walking out the door, he said the defense looks good for the future but at forward they need work. It's not like Buffalo has a guy burning up the AHL in scoring like Tampa did with the AHLs leading goal scorer in 2012 or the Red Wings with last year with Gustav Nyqvist. Larrsons isn't any type of big time scorer, we shall see if any of the Amerks guys actually score 20 goals next year, Girgensons couldn't even get 10 goals in the AHL.

Make the trade already ..

Walk into the break room at work, and see that Germany is up 5-0 on Brazil 30 minutes in.

Is this the part where riots happen?

The vanek trade is still mind blowing
