Saad- 29
Ehlers - 28
Zucker - 28

I like Larsson, but he very well could end up addition by subtraction
- sbroads24


Larsson isn't a bad player, and neither is Zemgus really, but they are nothing resembling players any of us should get upset over losing or deciding to move on from as you can find 20-30 point players anywhere, as has often been pointed out.

Since neither one of them are expensive, or old, there is no harm in keeping both, however, when making a choice, it seems clear that you keep the younger, faster player, which is Zemgus.

If either of them expect a big pay increase, you keep the other.

If both expect a big pay increase, you get rid of both and find others who can assuredly do the same job, or maybe even better.

- sbroads24


He certainly has the wheels, by all accounts.

It would be nice to see a young guys line of Bailey Zemgus Baptiste in a sheltered role where they are just told to attack the entire time, all the time, not that this coach has that approach with his style, whatever style that actually is.

Did you ever officially release any of this stuff?

My "band" (it's only me) name is Chilliard. I've got a few Eps out

- chilliard77



Didn't ever realease it, and it's also just me. Stage Name/Project name.

I have talked to one of the executive editors of Pitchfork (online music 'magazine') in e-mail, had a few people in the industry come across it (reviewers, studio musicians, etc...), made a few friends who are musicians/bands either underground or just up in the industry. One actually dated the singer from MGMT, lol.

I don't think it's something that could be easily marketed but it's definitely niche.

Best I can come up with is Post-Emo, Post-Alternative, Avant-Garde Indie or Jazz infused Alternative.

I just call it Lo-Fi Blasphemy at the end of the day.

He might go #1

Then I say trade down or just trade the pick period

While the Sabres are likely to move pending unrestricted free agents Cody Franson and Brian Gionta, center Zemgus Girgensons (who is set to be a restricted free agent) could be someone teams look at as a reclamation project. Girgensons had a breakout year under former coach Ted Nolan in 2014-15 but has struggled since Dan Bylsma has taken over. His role has considerably diminished this season which makes him an intriguing ‘change of scenery’ candidate.

This guy is guessing. Doubtful we move Gionta and he forgot to mention Kulikov.

Sabres do have a history of trading their captain at the deadline but I sincerely doubt they trade Gionta. He would have no reason for "one last shot at the cup" because who would really say to themselves: "You know what would really get us over the hump this season? If we could get Brian Gionta in here for one last run at the cup!".

No.
