Very crazy thought.

The Sabres lack speed as it is, moving one of the slowest D men in the league to wing? Not sure that's a good idea...

Every year we had Matt Ellis on the opening night roster, I thought to myself, if Matt Ellis is good enough to make an opening night roster, we're not good enough to make the playoffs. I get that feeling with franson too. I really want someone else to make this team

If Franson is playing 15-17 minutes a night as your 3rd pairing guy and playing on the PP which is what he was brought here to do I don't see it as much of a problem.

Franson and gorges playing 17 mins a night definitely means no playoffs

You know who I think we should get to back up Lehner?

I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK?

Franson and Gorges yes but Franson and say Nelson maybe not same with Gorges and Nelson.

In a perfect world:

Pairing 1: 23 mins
Pairing 2: 21 mins
Pairing 3: 16 mins


The 3rd pairing should be getting favorable matchups at least when they're the home team.

Gorges played out of place last year playing top minutes.

I agree with this. Instead, it seems we had the top pair playing 26 mins, the middle pair playing 22 and the bottom pair playing 12. It was way off balance.

Until we have a Keith-Seabrook pairing that's the way it should be IMO.

If our biggest concern is our 3rd pairing then I think we are in good shape, but currently it is not our biggest concern.

I like the article about each player. Lets you focus on them.

But you're entitled to your opinion.

He has to know he won't get that in Chicago...

If it is true he might as well just be demanding a trade right?
