Michael Pachla: Charge of the youngins--The first wave. Plus (shhhhh) Vesey

at what point is ennis, girgens and foligno part of the problem


we have had a losing record every year they have been here

*forwarding blog to Vesey

Good read, and you're right it is time. If it's not Vesey, I hope they add someone else. I know some want to give girgs that chance but if you add one more up front you give yourself a real good top 9 instead of 6. Three balanced lines may make up for other weaknesses and give them a good shot at the playoffs.

Foligno's Birthday today. Could at least wish him well.

not a part of the problem if they're playing roles commensurate with their skill level...

and as for the second part context is important, especially when judging the last three seasons

the goalie I think that will rise above the others is Johansson

Not part of the problem or solution. They're complimentary players

ennis is capable, dependent upon how his head is...why give up more assets for a player who may only be comparable to him?

IMO if not Vesey it will be Nylander

Petersen has been real impressive...that said, looking three years down the road, the sabres may have themselves a pretty good stable of goalies

dime a dozen player then, not worth tying up 10 mil in the 3?

I was surprised they did not draft one this year, that's 2 years in a row

Agreed . Having that type of player already is better than losing assets too get one .

I'd pack his bags and drive him to the airport if he is a part of what lands us Fowler

Lots had a down year this past season. I'm willing to give them till Xmas

This would be a colossal mistake imo

yeah, me too...thought for sure they'd take one this year

Bruins have an open spot next to Bergeron and Marchand.

B's just signed his best buddy Gryz.

B's are infusing lots of young talent around Vesey age

Boston is his home


Sorry guys.....

Evander Kane disagrees

yes or no

Agreed, but if were talking dead cap space there are other players ahead of them on the "get rid of asap" list.

837 games isn't enough time to judge the 3?
