We still may be a year or 2 away.

Still a lot of dead weight on the team.

I think a lot would need to go right in order to be in the playoffs. (namely the dead weight would need to wake up and play hard)

I am hoping everything goes right. I need this team in the playoffs!!!

Really depends on what happens with Jack and Sam. We have Moulson and Pominville off the cap in 2 years, so that's another 10M that's available. Those spots need to be filled, but if you can plug in cheap young players like Pittsburgh does you can afford another big name player. Especially if you have a player like Mittlestadt playing in the top 6 on a rookie deal and putting up points.

2018-19

Mittlestadt-Eichel-Baptiste
Kane-O'Reilly-Okposo
Nylander-Reinhart-Pominville
Moulson-Girgensons-Fasching

Once Pominville and Moulson fall off there's room. Bogo falls off the next year. That's assuming Jack gets 9 and Sam get 6 and Kane gets 6.5. With all of those the Sabres are 100K above the cap, so if it goes up a bit next year it fits.

Looks good to me
Plus, we can probably trade Moulson at that point bc it's his last year
Same with Pominville
Bailey & Rodrigues will be cheap guys that can slot in
Larsson doesn't make a ton

I'm not saying we will definitely sign Kane...
I just don't know how anyone can say we definitely won't

I think if we're mostly healthy this year, we can be a playoff team IF one of the young guys steps up and takes the 2LW (and produces there) and the Scandella and either Beaulieu or Antipin prove to be top 4 D

I'm gonna guess that last year they (along with everyone else) predicted no playoffs for Columbus, Ottawa, Toronto & Edmonton

And I'm sure quite a few predictors missed one (or more) of Boston, Nashville &/or Calgary


I'm excited to see how the defense does
It can't be worse, right?

And it looks like a couple young kids (2 or 3 maybe) are gonna get their chance to make the team to start the season
Right now we have 11 Forwards, & 2 of them are Deslauriers & Josefson

They have been wrong before.

If it plays out like that, which I believe it will...

I think we will be right in the mix at least

Tampa should win the division
Detroit should be last

Everyone else could be within a handful of points

If we don't get a winger I agree

Do u think our forwards are any worse than last year?
Because from the time Jack came back,
we were 10th in scoring (or right around there)

I don't think forwards are the issue

Will the defense be better?
And
Can Lehner put up last year's numbers with a more offensive style play?

That's what will determine playoffs or not
Imo anyways

Bring me Duclair
- gerbe75pts

For what though?
I like his style of play for sure,
But he was soooooo bad last year

For what I'd be willing to give up,
I'm assuming Arizona would just keep him & see how he rebounds

Bums

One of our problems last year was scoring not one player could get a perfect easy goal from Jack they would always miss the pass or shoot it right at the goaltender

Looks like salad night. So let's stop pretending.

is a taco a salad? My column

How does Ron Rolston get a spot on the US Olympic team coaching staff?

If Pouliot is on the second line to start the season, i don't see us making it

Maybe Gus ,2nd I would that speed with Jack could be incredible together
And if that doesn't work out you can put him at the wing with Sam and work old magic

Gerbe really livens up the joint

disagree

his recent activity has made this chart room more of a morgue
