There isn't a player alive that would. And even if there were you can't build a team like that.

I think the next 20 games will tell us a lot about our coach and roster. Some things I like, some I don't. I think too many people are overreacting about what they've seen.

any truth to the rumor that the sabres locker room dislike the goal song, and that is why they don't score at home?

I'm willing to give them 20 games. But it's not the top part of the roster I'm worried about. We all know our top two lines are pretty good, although they need 2 LW badly.

if you put reinhart with ror and okposo


who is left for eichel?

kane and gionta?


vesey, vanek, pirri , 2 of these would make the roster look much better and allow okposo to play rw with ror and reinhart with eichel

It would be different if we were being overrun every night. A couple bounces here or there have been killing us.

Gradually eroding optimism, buoyed by hope at star's return, mixed with overall grumpiness about mathematical statistics.

Jack is back! At this point, it seems like Girgs would be the choice to expose to expansion. I would offer up ennis too, although i doubt Vegas wants him.

next year

Kane-ROR-Okposo
Vanek/Oshie/Sharp-Eichel-Reinhart
Foligno-Larsson-Baptiste
Moulson-???-D-lo

ennis/girgensons exposed

Seems score 2-3 goals and the losses would be wins . Our GA is pretty low.

Watch call ups.

Sent down 2 for weekend in Roch. Only called one back up.

If Jack doesn't play, we need a call up.

We thought we were good. I get it. But, the word is out, we are not good. Not even close. In fact we are pegged, more pegged if we don’t burn all our assets in trades and what Chevy wants is half our prospects. And if that is too much we'll have to draft, sign or steal more, and it will all even out sooner or later.

If speed is an issue when it comes to playing with Eichel (and I'm not so sure it really is), then you would have to put Gionta with Eichel if you're going with that top line. Also, I like how Kane and Larsson have been playing together. Keep that pair until it becomes stale.

Kane/Larsson/Player x = Really good checking line

Girgensons for Lazar swap. Two players who desperately need a change

Moulson has been able to produce with ROR and Okposo

Kane had an extended series of very good games with Jack and Samson at the end of the year last year.

Leave the third line magic together Foligno Larsson Gionta.

Hes been able to produce using Jack's powerplay time. 5 on 5 hes more or less the same scrub.
