"We don't really have very many power forwards in the game anymore. It's a rare commodity. But Kyle fits into that role. He's big (6-foot, 217-pounds), powerful and strong and he skates well."--Dan Bylsma

Great read Michael, I also enjoyed the 30 in 30 piece. I really feel most Sabres fans are undervaluing what Tyler Ennis can bring to the team this year. This is a kid that scored back-to-back 20 goal seasons on two of the worst offensive teams in NHL history. I've watched some goal videos of his more recently and forgot how shifty and smart he is with the puck (Ristolainen OT goal vs. Vancouver).

I really hope Ennis has a big year as he is in a way an orginal Sabre and at somepoint we have to show some loyalty to the guy who went through the trenches for us and never, ever complains or looks down. He's had multiple coaches and team mates and I think he will find a groove this year with either ROR or Jack. I'm predicting a 25-25 season from the former Med Hat Tiger.

Let's go Sabres!

Yep. Guy is one of the weakest players you'll see on two skates. I know I'm wrong just like I was about Moulson. Let's revisit this in december.

You're on our thread quite a bit. What's been said about okposo even way before he went to free agency?

Bills LT Cordy Glenn has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, and is expected to miss the entire preseason.
The good news is, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Glenn is believed to have avoided structural damage. It's another blow to a Bills team whose summer has been marred by injury and suspension, but Week 1 is obviously all that matters. Of course, Glenn's absence will make the first-team offense more ragged during its exhibition snaps, perhaps affecting everyone's timing ahead of the opener. Glenn hasn't missed a game since 2012.
