You're kidding right? so much is expected of him to solve the defensive troubles this team has.
- Sabresfan-365

I remember everyone penciling him in the summertime thinking he was going to solve our issues lol

Good times .

If we draft Dahlin people can play that forget game like they do with Sam Reinhart if he sucks and say everything's fine

I politely disagree.

Defenseman usually Peak around their 20s I can't see either of those two just transferring their game to a next level .. Zach bogosian , Luck Schenn , Tyler Myers, peaked

Me personally I wouldn't call that" eye popping " I would say PPG is but still ..

I agree he's the best Prospect in Rochester but we don't have any to begin with besides nylander so he wins by default

If he was a forward I’d agree with you.... cj is the best forward prospect in Rochester right now.

For the first time in Rochester ( full time) guhle’s numbers are very good.



Oh and opening... not popping.

I expect him to be a part of the top six d-men next year...that's it

Hedman dropped his bust label at 23, Karlsson and Chara did not peak at age 20.

Those are different breeds of defenseman constantly saw them getting better each and every time do you honestly see those two defenseman just turning it on?

They have reached their level

CJ is the greatest name ever but .... He just might be one of those players that is just so good for the AHL but sucks in the NHL.

Everyone hates me beacuse others like me predicted this disaster in the summer and all of you roasted us

This whole core needs to go besides jack

it might not be a bad idea to let this one play out

Game is a little different now than before but...

Hedman actually shed the bust label well before that when his defensive play got 10x better. It just never looked it cause the points weren't piling up for him

Pretty sure Karlsson became his best when he scored 78 points in that 11-12 season

Chances you are able to pick the core ? Chances you are not able to get them are higher .
You make it sound soo freaking easy .

well...yeah, I do...but I don't expect him on the first-pairing...I don't expect him to be on the second pairing unless he has a great camp and preseaon

Guhle should be a great addition to this team moving forward.

Somebody pointed out that Antipin is sitting too much. I agree. Let's see what we have with him. Let him play for 20 to 30 games in a row. Same with Faulk. Antipin for Gorges and Faulk for Bogo when Bogo get's hurt in tomorrow's practice.

It's called building a new one we've done this how many times it's pretty easy we just failed every time

How many other teams have tried and failed in the past . A few made it . Chances are against every team to make it . Need to hit on the right players, right chemistry, right coaching and the right draft picks making themselves better than they were anticipated to be .

antipin's problem is consistency and finding where the holes are in the nhl...he had a really good game on defense last night and found holes in the o-zone too...gorges being traded is a given, imo...and they have their replacement

These "players "are the not the right ones
I don't want a roster full of Medicore ones and everyone on this team is that besides Jack

I don't think it's like that. They've got guys playing above what they're capable of and guys being paid way more than they are worth.
