Report back with results. It might calm you down

Listen, I want to talk about Ryan O'Reilly as much as the next guy, but we can't do that anymore. We're also still 4-5 months away from the board turning on Eichel, so this may just have to do

For $10m per, he better turn it up, and turn it up alot.

Who's he playing with?

If it's Pominville and Girgensons you'll be disappointed. If it's Sheary and Reinhart, expectations can be a little higher.

Right now I'm leaning toward

Erod-Eichel-Okposo
Sheary-Mitts-Reinhart

Eichel: 75 gp, 75p.

Hopefully Olofsson or Nylander become his long-term winger. If not, we'll have to acquire it in the 2019 draft. We have plenty of 1st round, premium, refined, 24k murrancy. Until he has a very good/elite winger, we should temper expectations

We still need a lot of work on the wings. You know I have my fingers crossed for Goaloffson. Jack needs at least one of his 2 (thats 2 to you and me, not Hatboro's definition) wingers to be snipers. Frankly, he should have a sniper on each wing, but they just don't seem to be materializing for this team.
If Olofsson and Nylander suddenly emerged as NHL players, we would be in good shape, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

I can speak to this with a considerable expertise.

My guess is Gerbe could really be helped by a peyote fueled 15 day walkabout. No phone, no debit card or credit card, just a fixed sum of cash, 5 packs of Winston’s, a lighter, and 12 buttons of peyote. there’s probably a number between 8 and 10 hits during that experience that could actually make Gerbe a half normal human being. He’s gotta get through a challenge that bends and opens his mind without breaking it.

The problem is if the optimal number is really 6 buttons, and he takes 8, he’ll overload his psyche, lose his faculties, and wind up a goofy mindless imbecile. Like now, but he’ll have a better explanation.

yes

Someone on Cap Friendly did an All-time Sabres team, and since it’s been pretty slow here i thought I’d share mine

FORWARDS

Martin-Perrault-Robert
*obviously don’t mess with the French Connection line

Andreychuk-LaFontaine-Mogilny
*easily the 2nd best line in Sabres history, no need to break that up either

Briere-Drury-Gare
*I know they weren’t here long, but arguably the most clutch players in team history. And the leaders of one of the top Sabres squads of all-time. I felt ok moving Briere to the wing, bc he would do that on the PP and late in games so he & Drury could be out there together

Vanek-Hawerchuk-Foligno
*just all really good players for us.
Now i know this leaves Eichel out of the top12, but he just isn’t there yet above any of these guys. I’m sure he will be before his career is over though.
You can also make a case for Luce here, but even though he had the longevity, Hawerchuck was a better player.
You could also make a good argument for Pominville here, but i think Foligno just barely edges him out.
Pierre Turgeon should also get mention here. He was a heck of a player.
Michael Peca also deserves mention here as a Captain & one of the best defensive forwards in the league

For the extra skaters...
I’m not just going by talent, I’m considering the “role” as well
Rob Ray is a no brainer. He’s basically a Sabres legend, even though he didn’t have all that much talent.
The next extra skater is also a no brainer imo...
“May Day! May Day! Brad May!”
That goal alone gets him on the list. But he also was a good player who could fit into a 4th line/extra skater role


For the Defense...
I didn’t do pairs bc I’m not very well versed on some of these older guys, so i just figured I’d do a top7
Ramsey, Hajt, Housley, Schoenfeld, Campbell, Ruff & McKee make up the 7 defensemen for the squad pretty clearly imo

Dahlin will end up on this list eventually, and Ristolainen does have a chance too- but he’s gotta improve overall play.
Alexi Zhitnik, Jerry Korab, Doug Bodger & Guevremont also should get consideration, but i feel pretty good about my chosen 7
Tim Horton played 2 seasons for us, he doesn’t belong on this list
I don’t think i forgot anyone, but there might be another older guy who deserves consideration.


The top 2 goalies were obvious choices that no one could argue...
Hasek & Miller, without question

If u were gonna have a 3rd goalie...
I think you’d have to go with Tom Barrasso over Don Edwards, but it’s probably close.
Honorable mention for good players who were here for a while go to Bob Sauve, Darren Puppa & Marty Biron
Biron actually played the 4th most games in net in Sabres history. Yeah, that surprised me too


Anyways...
just thought it would be cool to post my opinions

Feel free to let me know if i forgot anyone
Thought it was interesting

Not bad... not bad at all... although if it where me building a team I don’t know I could leave Miro Satan off this list, that guy would have put up massive numbers playing on this team. Teppo probably belongs here too, that guy was really good.

And if there was a 3rd goalie it would have to be Roger Crozier... imho.
