That's the problem we need more players that can score, we have to many 3rd or 4th line guys.
- SABRES 89

Lots tag these players as goal scorers. I haven't seen any since Vanek. Ennis is on the fence.

40 goal scorer. Not very likely out of this bunch.

This game sucks . Not a place for Girgensons to showcase his talents.

3 players did not get a point today

girgens was one of them

Was he on the ice in the 3rd? Didn't notice him, but those jerseys didn't help.

I agree besides Ennis , Moulson and Reinhart, we don't have a potential 30 goal guy coming up.

Armia is a pure goal scorer.

ennis, reinhart and player x in the draft

those are the only legit top 2 line players on a team competing for a cup in a few years

girgens may or may not be a second line player but if not, he will be the perfect plug and play anchor on the third line that can move up for long stretches

armia and gringo are wild cards and even if they pan out to be top 6 players, they will still be missing a piece (winger for the top line)

I wouldn't count on any of the other kids up front til 2016-17, at the earliest

I scored free tickets for John Cafferty and the Chicago singer/keyboard player

Hit the Irish pub before the show and knocked back a few more brews and the big hurricane at the show

I was 6 feet from the stage at a table, can't complain

I like seeing Bills players in the pro bowl that means nothing but i'm glad I can see that nice white helmet with the charging Buffalo on it.

Like I said before, it wouldn't shock me if Murray moves some of the " Darcy players " out.

Armia will be a pure goal scorer

The question is, first or second line

Ennis IMO is a second line guy and when the team gets good Moulson will either be second or third line winger with a lot of pp time

agreed

IMO the only players safe are the 2014 draft class, the 2 kids he got from the kings and moulson

This type of game is tough for a guy that plays like Girgensons does. Doesn't really fit in with his skill set. He makes his name by playing a physical game. Doesn't work in a game that nobody hits in and barely backchecks.

Murray likes Moulson but knows he need's a center and i'm sure he will address that in the offseason.

Once in a while they televise Amerks games. The last game he scored going end to end. He's a big guy.

When Armia plays in the NHL, then we can say he will be a goal scorer. I don't care about what they do in the AHL. He's got talent to score there but does he in the NHL.

He did mention trading quantity for quality. Yet to be seen. I'm sure it will happen. We have a poop ton of decent players.

I bet you see him and gringo on a line together next fall for the sabres

And Nolan will not be behind the bench
