I'm planning on watching 1 game before baselessly jumping to a wild conclusion that I'll defend vehemently throughout the rest of his career - mattmoulson
Homie, I wish I could attach the ESPN article about: the Sabres being the top surprise playoff potential team among a large group of players and coaches ect.
Over the summer, ESPN polled 58 players, front-office executives and coaches, and asked them the same question: What team has the capacity to surprise this season? In other words, give us your sleeper team to make the playoffs.
The answers started trickling in around mid-August. "The Sabres," one NHL All-Star said without hesitation. "What about Buffalo?" a coach noted a few weeks later.
They came in a steady stream. Of the 58 people polled for the question, 29 independently identified Buffalo. (The Arizona Coyotes were the second-most-popular pick, followed by the Florida Panthers. There were also votes for the Calgary Flames, New York Islanders, Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks.)
It's Buffalo that had most of the league buzzing.
"They were a really active team over the summer," one GM said. "And when you inject that much change, you expect to see different results."
Added a player: "I don't know what the expectations are, but I know they are going to exceed it."

Ps I got lucky with Green Bay’s defense and sat the Vikings. Should I go with gb again? Drop the Vikings and get something else?

rivers/cam is a coin toss
vikings/packers is a coin toss
I would never keep 2 D or 3 qb
I would drop marcus and the packer d unless you are in a 2 qb league and get the best rb/wr's on the waiver wire

Rivers and Newton.
Playing the matchup game with defense is usually the way to go unless you're limited moves-wise.
Edit: Bell to report week 7(Steelers' bye) in case you didn't know.
Elie is a plumbing type winger that has a good shot and is a willing participant in anything. He supports the puck well on the boards and in a tactful, practical manner; doing good work on the cycle. Elie sometimes errs on the side of caution defensively and sees the game well when defending. Offensively he's not a terribly creative thinker and he might grow out of that a little bit, but he's not going to be a full-fledged, open-ice dangler. He has an unorthodox skating stride that lends itself to some somewhat unpredictable results. Elie can get around the ice fine, but he lacks top speed and his first step is inconsistent. He loses his edge a lot on turns of even moderate tightness.
Future
Elie is skating for Dallas AHL affiliate Texas in his first pro season in 2015-16. Active in all areas of the ice, he is steadily adapting to the quick, high intensity style of play at the pro level as a 20-year-old. In terms of NHL potential, he projects as a Matt Martin-like bottom-six energy winger with the high end potential of a complementary goal-scorer, "glue guy", similar to Chicago's Bryan Bickell.
