Good point...Leino anyone?
- Cup Crazy '07

I won't put it in that category cause the Sabres were trying to convince everyone and themselves that Leino was a center.

We need complimentary players and one big signing. We need to find our Bonino (i.e. - people who play up to/if not better than their contract)
- 50GinosIn07

Yup sign Stamkos and Vesey (to compliment Eichel)

Boom done

helm

never scored 20 in a year

pass

I'm not saying to pay him 100M here...

But his speed matched up next to Eichel/Reinhart. That could be the ticket to get to 20 consistently.

Not saying I'm bending over backward for him with a 5.5M contract.

Still like to add Demers of another slightly 2nd tier DMan. I think Yandle and Gogligowski will be too high dollar.

man did i butcher his last name.

Can Steve Ott still play center?

Isn't Boedker a top 3 fastest skater in the NHL though?? that dudes as WHEELS!!!

Does Hoffman have wheels?
- JVince11

Hoffman has major wheels

Surprised no one has yet to mention Andrew Ladd on the sabres radar....him over Okposo being an actual top liner..

Vesey and Stammer will control how GMTM rolls out his plan
- Beezer33

Stamkos is prioity number 1 without a doubt I was told, other players in play are:

Hall
Okposo
Hoffman/ Stone ( doubt Stone)
Yandle
Eberle ( not much talk about him)
Didn't hear much on Ladd
Malkin
Justin Faulk
Nash ( won't give up a lot)
Barrie


A couple others as well.

helm
- homiedclown

I was reading somewhere he hasn't been as effective in recent years. Maybe a change of scenery?

he will get over 5 per IMO

I want someone that will open up the ice for eichel and reinhart

lucic or simmonds, or ror on their other wing

Hoffman has major wheels
- GERBE!!!75PTS

he would work well in our top 6

- Mentalorgasm5

"Ott is definitely NOT going to STL"

- Sabres Front Office.

I do not want ok we're stuck with molasses that's not get another one

Simmonds??

how... or better yet.. why would they deal him?

Oh then let's just get Grabner!

- homiedclown

I would put him with jack trade for Chris Kreider And holy poop speed

Also, I really wish Kane would work on his shot during the offseason. He has the power, but awful accuracy. He's so frustrating because he has all the tools to be a premier power forward and simply can't finish enough.
- 50GinosIn07

One of the criticisms of him in Winipeg is that he was always aiming for the corners. I think we saw that here - a lot of his goals would just barely catch the corner. Unfortunately a lot more missed the net and rattled around the boards.

Still like to add Demers of another slightly 2nd tier DMan. I think Yandle and Gogligowski will be too high dollar.

I agree I think that's where a trade happens to fill the need on the blue line though.

If Stamkos is in Blue and Gold come draft day (trade for his rights already) then they have too many forwards IMO. Make a trade for a blue liner

I was reading somewhere he hasn't been as effective in recent years. Maybe a change of scenery?
- 50GinosIn07

he has wheels and puts up 30 points a year

I would like to see a focused foligno, helm, girgenson on the wing (if gus gets his sh!t together) for the 3rd line moving forward

Simmonds??

how... or better yet.. why would they deal him?

so they have money for stamkos

a d man from the wild and a d man from the left coast

Yes I forgot Fowler and a D man from the Wild as well, thank you.

If memory serves me his advanced status were awful. There didn't seem to be a lot of love for him at the deadline last year.

I'd kick the tires on Troy Brouwer
