I have never seen a goalie so good inside 15 feet and so blah outside 25 feet

Miller was one of my favorites. Always will be. And this is not to start a debate about how good (or not) he was here. I've just always been a fan.

Not really a fan of Kane on Eichel's wing. Outside of a small number of games at the end of last season, it just hasn't worked.

I know they were trying to get Bailey used to playing on the left. Maybe they're thinking they could roll out Bailey - Eichel - Baptiste next year.

that would be good, let's kane stay on the 3rd line

flip okposo back to lw

I didn't get to watch much last night, but that late call on Bogo was pretty bogus. They let plays like that go ALL THE TIME.

Agreed. Maybe he wasn't elite, but very good IMO

So I do like that quite a bit actually....line 2 could be boom or bust.
Maybe switch Nylander and Bailey... I dunno, would have to see it...which if they could sell off some guys at TDL...maybe we do this year.

Funny though because a Kuli look great Tuesday, and Bogo looked decent the past 2 games. At their cost, they should be consistently good, not goood at being inconsistent.

Murray should be in no rush to make any deals, we have taken on some big deals with ROR and Okposo, get 15 and 23 signed and worry about upgrading the D. Gotta watch the young players we move in the AHL, might come back to haunt us.
- SABRES 89


Would not hate to see him try to move Gus, I think that ship is sinking and if you can get any value now it might be a good move.
That is one dude that had a ton of excitement around him and now sadly, he is just awful.

the key is to move
moulson
ennis
bogo
gorges


get 1 or 2 top 4 d men in the offseason


might be too much to ask

He stood totally still for 5 seconds during one play, I thought he was doing one of those mannequin contests.

Late to the party but I say you trade Kane now for a Top 2 D-man. I am a contrarian when it comes to Kane relative to most. We need help on D more than we need to keep Kane - who is replaceable with Bailey.

This is where I hope to see them bring in two solid defenders...guys you just can't score against...if you can find that top 2 puck mover and PP guy, then it's a homerun.

This Duchene talk needs to stop.

He scored 70 points 3 years ago, other than that he is a 55-60 point player.

He scored 30 goals ONCE in his career. He is a good player no doubt but the trades being suggested here for him are insane.

He isn't a sniper, he is an all around good player, not a great player. He is another ROR at this point.

A good but not great player. Doesn't do that one thing that is great, he is just an all around good hockey player.

Get a sniper, get a Phil Kessel type.

We didn't need Phil Kessel, remember??
