Chara at this point is probably just as effective, or less effective as gorges. And his contract blows.

not like we're in a rush I think he would be fine here and Chara with a broken leg is better then those two I mean his shot alone is the most important boom

Last time I post today, but we already have five


I run two dynasty leagues for hockey, one is in its 5th year, the other is a friends and family going into its first offseason. I tried last year to put one together with HockeyBuzzers, but didn't get enough interest.

If anyone is interested in doing one, please PM me, looking for 10, maybe 12 teams.

my point is it's hard to find a number one center then it is a defenseman it took us how many years to get one?
- gerbe75pts


And my point is we haven't had a top 5 defensemen ever on the Sabres...

We now have 3 potential number one centers.
1 is the closest to a sure thing in Eichel
1 is going to be a great #2 when Eichel is ready in ROR
1 can become a great #2 but will never be a #1 on this team in Reinhart

We still do not have a top 5 D, Risto could become that or he could become a great #2. If I could get a great #1 top 5 D for a could be great #2 and next years first I would do it without thinking twice.

I wonder if Ennis could be moved for a defensemen. Bylsma basically said Girgensons could go to wing, O'Reilly will play center

Kane/Eichel/Reinhart
Moulson/O'Reilly/Girgensons


This could be the top 6 after this upcoming season

My guess is by picking up Lehner yesterday, GMTM thinks we have enough in the pipeline and don't need to draft one now. One every year by trade or draft seems to be what he is leaning towards.

We are still very weak in net, nothing set in stone that Lehner can or will be the starter and Johnson is nothing. I'm sure they want to view Lehner as the starter but that remains to be seen.

Never was a fan of his. has a big contract, doesn't create plays on his own, we have other LWs: kane, McGinn, foligno, delauries, and oreilly if needed. Rather have his salary used on a defenseman

I would just sign Oduya and let him be the D pickup they make. Fits very well as he's a LHD.

My dad bought a box of cards last night and pulled an autographed Emerald McKinnon, #6/25. He says there's one on e-bay asking $3k for it

He's excited.

Edit: Here's the ebay one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/N...ain_0&hash=item2ed29a0024

Scoring has been our problem and moving Ennis doesn't help that, we can get a D man July 1st.

I understand that. He wouldn't have much value anyway in a trade. I just don't like him

Not a very good one. At best 2nd pairing guys and a little too old. Need another top pairing guy.

I agree but he's 33 years old.

I'm just trying to figure out the next domino that potentially pisses me off
