I just looked.

Marner is now better than Eichel (ECHL). They are the same as ever.

love the reinhart line


hate the 3rd line


ror-eichel-okposo
kane-reinhart-bailey
foligno-girgens-gionta


why the hell doesn't this coach play girgens on the dot?

- homiedclown




Don't see why we need our 3 best players on the same line
I still like the "3 scoring lines setup"
And with Nylander likely with us next year...
we should have enough talent up front to pull it off

with reinhart, kane, nylander, etc

there will be enough talent for the second and third line

I would like to see a 4th line of Bailey Carrier and Baptiste for a few games. See what a line of all speed could do. I know they are all wingers, but I don't care.
- Mentalorgasm5

I'd like to see our speed guys sprinkled throughout the lineup.

But most importantly, D-Lo, Grant both waived, and Baptiste, Bailey and Carrier all given a long look

I think u could still be happy if someone else took RORs place on that line
And in theory at least, it makes us deeper & more dangerous on multiple lines

Let's fall in love with 3 lines instead of 1
Remember the Drury/Briere days?

28 - 10 - 5

To make the playoffs

- GERBE!!!75PTS

That would give us over 100 points. 95 or 96 should be all that's neeed.

You should care
You're asking a lot in your own zone especially if u want a winger to take on the defensive responsibilities that a center normally had
Not bc they're incapable,
But bc it's something they'd be unfamiliar with doing

I really feel speed is what is missing to come up with some extra wins. I agree with grant and D lo. Baptiste, Bailey, Carrier, Eichel, Kane, and Girgensons would make it hard for teams to keep up with our speed.

D-lo is fine as the 13th forward
I'd rather have him sitting than a guy who could have valuable playing time in Rochester

I get what u mean though

But also consider...
they might want some of these young guys playing together in Rochester
If we don't have a shot at the playoffs & Rochester does,
It's probably better for them to be a part of that then playing meaningless games up here with the Sabres

We used to see ...our guys would get possession in our zone and feed the forwards who are already streaking up the ice . Now they try and set up and in turn lets the opposition set up too. Doesn't work.

Those guys could all be in our lineup next year
Along with Nylander
Gotta find the right spots for them though
Throwing 3 speedy wingers on a 4th line for 8-10min doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me

Have you ever watched former Sabre D-man Mike Weber play? His play ranged from average to brutal with most of the time closer to the latter. Last year the Capitals gave up a 3rd for him. Franson is definitely better than Weber. Teams are always looking to get bigger and add depth with defencemen at the TDL. Don't be surprised when you see Franson go for at least a 4th, likely a 3rd and maybe even a second. Only two years ago, the Preds gave the Leafs a 1st for him.

Oh I'm sorry, I consider a 3rd round pick to basically be (frank) all.

Idk about that
A 3rd is certainly far from a sure thing
If we're out of the playoffs & not planning to re-sign Franson (or whoever)...
Why not trade him for whatever we can get?

17/18 Potential LineUp

Kane-O'Reilly-Girgensons
Ennis-Eichel-Okposo
Nylander-Reinhart-Bailey
Foligno-Larsson-Baptiste/Carrier
-Deslauriers

Obviously some of these guys could be gone for one reason or another
and u could certainly shuffle many of these guys around to different lines & even different positions in some cases
But this is a basic look at what we could be seeing next year
