I feel like that was a one off. Gorges doesnt move the puck at all and at this point has been reduced to shot blocker and penalty killer. Most contenders will look elsewhere. if they get anything for him i'll be impressed.

Someone will give up a 4th, celery is a non-issue at the deadline with a UFA even for the most cash strapped teams.

Who would you rather have? Gorges or Jeff Jillson?

Edit: Jillson was the 14th overall pick!

I’d give us a chance...
but almost every team in the league would be making him an offer as well
It would be another Stamkos like situation

True but the good news is he's spent many years in Buffalo visiting his uncle and going to championship games I'm sure his uncle is whispering in his ear

And him visiting all the time he knows how Buffalo fans are etc

First bold: no way. Rielly is legit. Scandella is a 2nd pairing guy. Rielly can still develop into a low end 1st pair

Second one: maybe in 5 years, but not right now. It's close, but Bozak can actually, you know, play center.

You also need guys like Kadri on your team who are very underpaid.

Reilly was legit at the start of last season?
Idk about that

Fine, take out Sam, sub in Eichel

Rielly's a tough one to judge. moves the puck really well but damn he's bogo in his own end
- Sabresfan-365


And he certainly wasn’t “legit” at the start of LAST season

That’s fair
I’d give us a chance

He’s gonna want to go somewhere he thinks he can win though

Can he be sold on Buffalo as that team?

Not saying Scandella is better
But Scandella NEXT year is a solid 2nd pair
Reilly LAST year was a young talent with upside, NOT a top pair defenseman
And he’s still not

Go back & see the contact of what i was talking about

We have pieces to make a leap depending on how our young talent plays & develops

The Leafs were used as an example of a team who did so
Also used Jersey as a team getting contributions from its youth

He's got a better shot at taking another step forward (if he hasn't already) than scandella does. Generates way more offensively. Finally seems like hes doing enough to offset the lousy defensive work.

Jack ,Casey , JT ,Dahlin

Think about that core

- GERBE!!!75PTS


I would love Dahlin but im tired of getting my hopes up for things just to be disappointed again and again. I do believe we pick top 5 regardless and player x would be apart of the core along with Casey and Jack. If JT were to sign with us, which i dont think is impossible, I package ROR and Reinhart to the Coyotes and try to pry OEL

Jack, Casey, top 5-7 pick in this years draft, Risto (probable core)

JT, OEL (if dreams come true)
