Underrated how well he did play last year. 29 points in 74 games. Another year of growth and he is our ideal 3C going forward if Mitts or whoever figure out the 2C.

It is what it is, they want to see what Reinhart's deal is before making anymore big signings, that's what I was told anyway. I'm sure things can change.

Always appreciate the info! When can they resign Samson? And I wonder if Botts has had any preliminary discussions to gauge what Sam is looking for long term...

No problem playing E-rod at #3 center. .

That is where ERod played the last about 15-18 games last year actually.

I think down the stretch there we had.

Olofsson - Jack - Sam
Skinner - ERod - Okposo
Sheary - Mitts - Wilson/Smith

July 1st I believe.

Seems low

Wouldn't mind it. If Mitts can step up, he'd be fine until 7OA is ready.

Convinced we're going with a center, probably Zegras unless someone falls. He's 2 years out. Rodger is fine for that, agreed.

E-rod giving us the "home town discount"

Can't let the star players dictate everything.

Even as the president of the erod fan club, I have to say that playing him for 18 mins a night at 2C is.... not ideal

Really? I'm kind of set on taking Cole.

I've seen this Russian kid Podkolzein creep into the top 6/7 this week too now.

One thing ERod will never be on any Sabre forum is underrated.

"F" for Botts on both of these. And "FU" Botts for doing it. How does this make the Sabres a better team for next season?

I like your optimism but name me one other GM that wants that trash?

How does it not....exactly? By letting RFA’s walk?

You don’t expect all of them in the lineup do you?

- jcragcrumple

2C agreed. I can see him as 3C though. That's all I meant, if Mitts can step into the 2C spot, I'm okay with Rodger as 3C until 7OA is NHL ready.

I just keep hearing they're looking at centers and that they met multiple times with Zegras.

Just twitter banter. Who knows. I wouldn't be upset with Cole, I'd be nervous about Pod.

I think it's Zegras or Caufield depending who is on the board. I mentioned this before, but the sabres amateur scouting director was on WGR and he was kind of fan boying about Caufield. Smoke screen? Maybe.

IMO... unless they see Mitts or Zegras more well suited on the wing... IDK why you draft another Center. yea yea.. you can never have too many centers but at #7.. when our wing prospects are as depleted and not high talent ceiling like they are... I stab at that but that's just me.

Eichel
Mitts
ERod
Asplund
Davidsson
Oglevie
Ruotsalainen
Pekar
