sabres are 27th in pk
30th in pp (big gap below 29)

fix those 2 areas and the rebuild moves sooner rather than later
- homiedclown

With the pp "fix" means get more talented players. Half of the forwards on this roster won't be here in three years.

Unless they win the lottery, it's not going to happen.


Edmonton won't crack 45 points this season unless major changes are made.

Phoenix is also a dumpster fire and it's only going to get worse once they move Yandle, Michalek, Vermette, and Boedeker.

The lowest Buffalo will finish is 28th. Unless by some miracle they win the lottery they will draft at best 3rd overall and worst 7th.

They have won 2 straight.....

We have lost 5 of 6

I liked what I saw of Schaller.
- Slump Buster

agreed, but I think that kid is third line at best in the NHL

They peaked a season to soon.

Take the goalies out of the equation and they're probably neck and neck with Oilers right now.

Yup, and that's still more productive than our 4+ mill heartless 3rd liner

It means top end talent for the pp, something that is lacking

girgens, ennis and moulson are second liners playing out of position on the first line

the second line is a third line
the third line is a mixture of third and 4th liners

there is no pp d men on this roster and lack of top end wing play to hide this hole

Enjoy youngins'.


If you spend 15 mins every Sunday during football season, you can find something more enjoyable to do with your time.

Actually the Oilers and Coyotes would be better.

We would be neck and neck with Carolina for most uninspiring hockey.

agreed

I would rather see him, gringo, armia and larsson then coho, staff, and stewart

aside from the ewok, ennis and girgens

While I agree we need one, we have maybe the worst net presence by our forwards in the NHL. Goalies have easy looks against our point shots

Took you twice.

agreed

the team needs 2 legit first line players (assuming sam produces at first line level)
a legit top 2 d man with puck moving skills

fix those 3 holes and the entire team changes

assuming the dead weight is shipped out

Took you twice.

I thought it right away

Phoenix is a mess.
- dadeadhead

And we are.....?

They have more points than us and a game in hand.

Swap goalies and they are much better

This board could use an enema too.

Can get 1 through the draft this year and a 2nd via trade. third may have to be one of the later picks (late 1st and onwards) hitting it big or free agency(doubtful but you never know).

Swap goalies and nothing changes.

But, like he said, a fire sale is coming over there. The people Buffalo are shipping out aren't having the impact here.

I like their top 6 up front and top 2 d men a lot more

the bottom half of their roster is worse then ours, and that is saying a lot

Opinions vary

Your Opinion stinks.
