The list of "better than the Leafs"



Is long.

going to be pretty sad seeing McDavid on the Oilers.
- SABRES 89

Don't worry. The Sabres are kings of implosion. They play one period then fall apart completely when the opposition wakes up.

Hey now...
Don't forget, even if the Oilers finish last they still only have a 20% chance to win the lotto

I still feel good about us getting the best chance at him

Psst...



It's part of the plan.

Me too. I'm generally a glass half full kind of person. I think everyone else's negativity is wearing off on me right now.

It's just everybody sick of us losing...
This town needs a damn championship!

What's everyone think about Reinhart for next year?
A see a few quite possible options...
-starts in Rochester
-starts here, centering a line in the top9
-plays wing in Buffalo to ease him into the NHL

Those are the most likely options IMO

If your drinking it . 1/2 full is close to another drink.

1/2 full is based on not being filled all the way. It's some one elses drink or you got gipted .

I'm probably in the minority here and I've posted this opinion before but I think the best plan for him and his development is to start the year in Rochester. He needs to add some weight this summer but Rochester is the best plan. No reason to rush him.

It's just as bad

It is an injustice. But it's out of our control.

I agree. I think he needs time in roch. I wish Zadorov could go there as well and pysyk could be up in his place.

No. yes I thought some were questionable.

But those were the best ones.

Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News reports the Bills are "closing in" on a deal to keep free agent OLB Jerry Hughes.
As we just passed along, this deal is likely to pay Hughes in the range of $8.5 million to $10 million annually. Rex Ryan perennially lacked outside pass rushers during his time with the Jets. He hasn't had a dominant once since coordinating the Ravens' defense and coaching Terrell Suggs. Hughes and Mario Williams excelled in a Rex-style defense in 2013 under Mike Pettine, and would be more dangerous than ever in Rex's aggressive scheme.

I wouldn't hate that
I don't know that he necessarily needs to start in the AHL, but I don't think it would hurt him either
I also think starting him on the wing (like the AVs did with McKinnon) is a way to ease him into the nhl as well
If her were to start on the wing, I could see a lineup like this next year
Kane-McDavid-Reinhart
Moulson-Girgensons-Ennis
Hodgson/Foligno-Grigorenko-Gionta

lolz..... Bettman will never allow McDavid to end up in Buffalo

We're reportedly going after Clay from Miami hard as well
Dolphins can match whatever offer he might sign with us though

And he certainly wouldn't "award" him to a franchise that, despite all of it's top 10 picks currently on it's roster, can't get out of it's own way.

He will be a Coyote or Leaf... I never said he will be an Oiler. You guys will have to settle for ruining the career of Jack Eichel.

Who is this Jack Eichle? Never heard of him

Now, Jack Eichel I've heard of. And he's going to be a beast.

I agree. I think he needs time in roch. I wish Zadorov could go there as well and pysyk could be up in his place.
- SabresFaninIndiana

Pysyk will be here next year for sure
Georges-Bogosian
Zadorov-Ristolainen
Weber-Pysyk
Looks like our opening night defense barring injuries or an addition/subtraction
I could see Ruhwedel as the 7th or maybe re-sign Strachan

Any good UFA defensemen out there besides Boychuk?
I wouldn't mind bringing him in, but he's prob gonna cost a lot
