Maybe. Sticking with the bogo thing, there's got to be more to it. I refuse to believe that he thinks this d-core even healthy can compete for anything.
- Sabresfan-365

Yeah, I don't know, maybe hoping for growth out of Guhle and Nelson, maybe Borgen can come in part way through the season like Guhle, hopefully earlier though. A healthy McCabe would help.

The biggest thing we need is a clear cut 1D, then a good 2nd pair that way the top pair isn't playing 27 minutes a night. Maybe that 2nd pair can be Guhle and Nelson at some point, but I feel like they play the same-ish style, so maybe that's not ideal.

Bogo in limited minutes ala Weber and Franson at their end would be ok.

Yeah, that's like the Gorges is a calming influence thing. Yeesh.

Hutton and Grubauer are backups though, a lot of backups/platoon goalies have great numbers, but when put in a starting role aren't good, Scott Darling, Eddie Lack, Brian Elliot being the most recent.

Especially Darling, yikes, I just looked at his numbers for the year.

he says he like guhle-nelson for the third pair next year with mccabe and bogo back in the 2nd pair.

so he either plans on moving risto, or next year is already written off. I dont see how else you ice a competitive d-core.

Miller is retiring in Anaheim/LA when The ducks are done with him.

We are? and I won't if you don't start with the smart ass comments. It's a wonder why I don't post much here anymore.

he says he like guhle-nelson for the third pair next year with mccabe and bogo back in the 2nd pair.

so he either plans on moving risto, or next year is already written off. I dont see how else you ice a competitive d-core.

Could be just posturing to maybe let on that they think he can play.

Can’t get anything for a guy who even our GM thinks is worthless

How can we get this “stars player” without giving up ROR

You said Ristolainen is safe there’s no one left with value besides jack and 2018 first and those are safe

well 2nd or 8th but the latter is out of reach thankfully.


Either way, Im not concerned about the forwards moving forward. They've got 3 centres, probably going to land a top 6 winger in this draft and of all the positions, wing is the easiest to trade/sign.

As long as the top four D is What it was this year, this team will remain in the bottom 10.

Scandella and Risto can't play 25 minutes. McCabe can't be playing 23 and Bogosian can't play.
- Sabresfan-365

I’m probanly way late to this party, but I think the Sabres need a legit #1 AND #2 D to move Scandella, Risto, McCabe, Nelson and Guhle down to their effective levels, rather than playing 1 Pair too high as they generally are now.
Guhle needs to play in the top 4 now, and hopefully he can be say that #2 D...but they have to ease him in as his game does need further development, which will come in time hopefully. He is the “on the roster now” hopeful for next year.

Sabres just got better .

don't pooh, pooh me...

sabres had just gotten blown out in consecutive games giving up six goals in each and looking like the keystone cops on the back end...the next two games they played much better but still lost--by one goal to sjs and two goals (one empty netter) to lak...they beat ana the next game for their first win of the season and lost in the shootout to vgk...

he was a plus-1 in those games skating an average of over 14 minutes...

things did in fact settle down

How many times has that happened though? Where they'd get blown out and then calm down and play well, great even. 5 times? More? Gorges wasn't involved in all the "they turned the corner" events.

OK let’s say this Tyler S thing is true
Trade Ryan O’Reilly you sign Tyler to that deal probably 2 million more

What’s this Tyler S rumor u speak of?
I’m assuming u mean Seguin...
Are we talking with Dallas?

Is this what 89 was talking about?
