I must have missed something somewhere. Who is Moose??

Moose is what some players on the team call Foligno

Sabres DOMINATE posession when Pysyk is on the ice. McCabe's played well but I highly disagree he's been "better".

That being said, I'd rather keep both than have Eberle. I've actually been very happy with the defense this year.

- CaptainRivet

So dominant he has a single point.

He's a really good possession player, which is important. But McCabe has shown flashes of being a difference maker. He has more scoring ability, more physicality

move ennis, anyone up front not named skunk, eichel, ror, kane and girgens, picks/prospects and crap for that blank

Who do you put on the wings then? Assuming Eichel and O'Reilly stay at centre. You could move Girgensons to top 6 wing but now you've left a big hole on that third line where for the most part he's been very good defensively.

Thanks hahah

"BBG: First off, where did you get the nickname ‘Moose’?

MF: I think my family started calling that because of my big size and type of play … I’m Canadian too, so that probably helps."

I'd keep Gorges with Risto. Pysyk and McCabe feed off each other well. Trade Franson next trade deadline and find a lefty to play with Bogo.

doesn't matter

with foligno, deslauriers, mcginn, moulson, gionta, larsson, schaller, legwand, and a few guys in rochester, plenty to fill a bottom 6

McCabe has 3 points so he's better.

Only until he's 25, though.

How many of those names are natural centres capable of being shut down guys? I count 0 unless Larsson does a 180.

I just don't want them creating a hole to fill another. I get it, wingers are not as important but still, it's not like we're set in that area.

Apparently praising a good defenseman who plays with Mike (frank)ing Weber isn't allowed.

Is Pysyk the new Reinhart who's the new Ennis?

His average ice time is actually 16 minutes. McCabe's shows as 18 right now. I think we're trying to split hairs here and it's kind of silly.

Really, I'd like the two of them paired together. I think they compliment each other well. Let them develop chemistry together and you've got a pair that can be very good for you for a long time.
