Fasching is on the same level as Casey Nelson...tossed on the back burner, Murrays pick when trying to imitate LA. He's a Rochester 2nd liner

Bailey isn't considered a prospect because of games played already, hopefully he learns how to finish, love his SPEED

Homie is right Murray mishandled golden draft picks and we arnt even a top 10 prospect pool, I love booze too

N Y L A N D E R...the body is ready

Regular season ticket prices are to high

I've been back in Buffalo for a month and would rather love it from a distance. Very boring city unless I'm hungry

yeah, it's kind of amazing.

Bottom 10 NHL team
Bottom 10 AHL team
Not even top 10 prospect pool?

How does that happen in a rebuild?

I actually heard we are in on another college FA, but I can't remember his name.

People wonder why the arena was quiet. We spent the entire game in our own zone. Hopefully Housley lets jack be jack, and to a lesser extent, just point to the opposing net and tell Girgensons to go there in a straight line

I see no reason our goal scoring won't go up
We were right around 2.5 in the 2nd half,
which I believe had us borderline top10 in the league

That should go up a little, just with improvement of young guys
Plus the defense should be much better at moving the puck up the ice
And Housley's system of getting the defense involved in the offensive zone

I'll also assume PP regresses a little, but should still be top10

For me...
that all adds up to better than league average scoring
With real potential to be top10 overall

And when we start bringing up scorers like Baptiste & Nylander,
it should only help as well

- jdfitz77



I agree with all this. Heck, wasn't it two months into the season before our defense scored a goal? The change over on D should increase goal scoring alone, plus a healthy Eichel and Kane in a contract year. I expected a big jump in ppg for the team.



EDIT:. Our defense had 11 goals last year. Scandella and Beaulieu combined for 8 goals.

all those picks murray had, and we are ranked 11th


honestly, that is pathetic even if you take into account reinhart and eichel are with the big club

- homiedclown




I'm 50/50 on what Murray did overall
He traded a lot of picks
Wasted some on guys like Hurley, Karabacek, etc

My biggest complaint was him not drafting more defense

I'd trade Gus but they don't have any LWs they're trying to part with. Getting a 3rd rounder wouldn't be worth it imo

I'm more wait & see on him, and even Fitzgerald too
I see Guhle as eventual top4
Borgen as an NHLer, but not sure on his ceiling

Yeah. I agree
If we aren't gonna get value back, then what's the point?
Same with Larsso

I'd rather keep then than help someone else out
