Seriously, (frank) the Ottawa Senators.

Bye bye Sens

1. As much as Antipin is talked about getting into play in the offensive zone, I would've thought he would have more points. I will say he seems to be that much needed point getting defenceman (you're welcome Canada) when playoffs come around. Looking forward to see how he pans out.

2. I say do absolutely nothing with Kane. Players have a tendency of having good years in a contract year.

Oh god, no. There's nothing to explain, it's nonsensical.

OTT had the 3rd worst PP in the playoffs. Might be something to address.

Special teams gray matter

But special teams don't matter?

Wish there was a way to know where those two would be by start of next season.

I think it depends if we bring in any Vets
They're both ready for NHL action imo

I have high hopes for Baptiste
Bailey will at least be a good 3rd liner
Tbd if he can score goals at this level though

Bye bye Sens

F the Sens!

Ott is done in NHL good career

Check the spelling of defenceman in my previous post. You know, spelled with a 'c'? Oh nevermind, B.E.D. was right, probably.

probably.

Bailey could defaniately be a good third liner.. I too have higher hopes for Baptiste but he has a way to go.. i like his speed

Having both of those players on the roster makes the Sabres better IMO, even in the bottom 2 lines. That speed is sorely lacking. I think Baptiste has a better chance of becoming an NHL scorer, but Bailey could end up having the longer career if they decide that he's a 3rd line grinder and he works on his D game

Ahhhhh I see now.

So what does Anaheim do now,

Lindholm and Vatenen out 4+ months....

I guess 4 months is the start of the season, but not much / any training camp or off season work

Bob McKenzie was on TSN radio yesterday and he thinks they protect 3 def. Fowler, Vatanen and Lindholm. They are going to try and trade Bieksa but if they can't then he has to be protected as well. He thinks Manson is the one that gets traded.

Makes sense, but dont they have Montour and Shea Theodore (both auto protected) knocking on the door (for playing time)? Wow, good problem to have I guess.

I've been talking about us tradeing for Manson for well over a year now
I'd love to get him

It's amazing that they could trade Manson, trade Bieksa, and still have a top 3 blue line.
