He was very effective playing 30 minutes last night just from being away from Gorges. Now imagine if he could be away from gorges and not have to play that many minutes. My god we'd almost look like a competent team

I am curious where Guhle fits in next year.

I think it's pretty much a given he plays up and not in Rochester

I think with mccabe stepping up, there is a decent foundation with risto, mccabe and guhle moving forward

IMO gorges is fine on the bottom pair
kulikov may be fine is a second pair
bogo is bogo

as long as our second pair isn't bogo kulikov, only need 1, I think we will be fine in 2017

Risto McCabe
Guhle Kulikov
Gorges Bogo

but when you look at the contenders it seems to be 2 stand out guys and then 2 other good d-men. We've got 1. McCabe and Guhle will be good but they dont really cover that #2 spot the way someone like muzzin does.

Eichel is the Sabres leading vote getter for the All Star Game.

Can we not and let him rest up.

Send Okposo or ROR

Id take him over Kulikov, Gorges, Bogosian. gives you some cap flexibility as well

McCabe-Risto

Guhle-new guy

bottom pair that doesnt suck ass

If Bogo does get moved (or taken in the expansion draft) I am okay with Kulikov and Guhle, its not ideal but I am okay with it.

Or maybe

McCabe-Risto
Guhle- New guy
Gorges-Kulikov

It looks fine but its a pricey bottom pair.

He has to be protected. He's the only guy on our roster that we don't have a choice but to protect.

Nope, NMC is gone per official list from NHLPA. Okposo is the only guy we have to protect.

murray gets a few trades to get the top 9 set

player y, eichel, reinhart
kane or foligno, larsson I guess, player z (maybe girgens)

I was making sure Okposo was the player we had to protect, I wasn't totally sure it was him or ROR.

Not like it matters both would be protected anyway!

Do the Sabres have to protect him if he's hurt?

If the answer is yes, there's a good chance we keep him.

I don't see why we would

if a club wants to draft an injured player, it's on them

it's not like it changes his contract

I'm not jumping for joy about Bylsma but I am also not off with his head either.

I would like to see him with a team that is pretty close to being set and this roster is not.

Get me Landeskog and a top pairing D.

Kane Larsson Baptiste is a good 3rd line.

Landeskog Eichel Reinhart
Nylander ROR Okposo
Kane Larsson Carrier
Foligno COR Baptiste

If Nylander isn't ready next season (probably wont be) Kane moves up to the second.

How to get Landeskog the hell if I know!
