Am I really acting like you want to put Risto in the AHL? What exactly did I say to make you feel that way?

You seem to be getting pretty worked up because I have an opinion you don't like. I stated my opinion. Gave arguments that I feel are reasonable for why I feel this way. Defended my argument when challenged. Did not attack or direct anything at you. Yet seem to want to start a fight over the fact that you don't like that I have an opinion you disagree with.

I didn't act like you wanted to do anything with Risto. Please don't put words in my mouth and realize that not everyone in life is going to agree with you, and that doesn't mean you have to talk to them in a condescending and sarcastic manner.

Relax, we're having a discussion. I just disagree with your reluctance to a small change that could help and would have a (extremely) small risk of hurting. Like I said, I only want to change for the short term to see what works.

They were what, 6th and 7th round I believe? Unless you're Detroit, it's basically just a shot in the dark. I'm happy with what I've heard about Guhle, Borgen, Karabacek, and others. Not sure how many or which ones will make it, but it's nice to hear positives about the guys we got in later rounds.

We were 1st for a while I believe. Who has really been out that long to give us that ranking? Lehner for like 40 games, Bogo for ~20, Ennis for some time. I feel like we've had a few injuries but nothing extreme.

I am assuming this is the last season for the sabres to sign possler and locke?
- homiedclown



Locke is long gone. Possler and Oloffson euro contracts expire at the end of the season. So im assuming one or both will be in roch/Buff next season

I have a feeling Olofsson will be the only one signed

Not that I disagree we have been banged up, but didn't someone say previously that McCormick counted towards that number ?

He should. He's under contract and currently on LTIR.

That would make sense then. Either way, we're not where we are due to injuries, I think we'll all agree to that. We're here because we're in a rebuild.

Gionta= Washed
Moulson= Slowest player in the NHL
Larsson= AHL 3rd liner
Legwand= Washed

Kane= Needs to get something going
Ennis= Needs to produce this season
Girgensons= Needs more opportunity on 1st or second line
Bogs= Takes too many risky chances offensively but may feel pressure to generate offense.

ROR= Thank god he is a Sabre
Eichel= Looks elite at times but still makes young mistakes (but that's expected)

Like him. Not 100% positive but he may be eligible for Roch next season

No was just in jest mostly. However, Lehner, Ennis, Bogo, McCormick, Girgs and Pysyk have all missed serious time and those aren't AHL third liners we are talking about so I certainly think it has an effect. I was hoping this year would be a healthy one simply for the gel effect.

In his 4th junior season, so that would be correct (though I wonder if 3 games in his first really counts...)

Exactly it was 3 or 4 games I forget he played that first season for Lethridge...I thought it had to be 8 games to count towards the 4 year total?
