Our roster is shaping up to look almost identical to last years. This isnt fun.

Dzingel has played center in the NHL, unlike Leino before we signed him.

I agree we should raise the bar, but currently the bar, for me, is set at "PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO ANYTHING"

Yeah, do something Darcy. He will, because he knows he needs to. And he heavily insinuated he'd be very active in the trade market. But for (frank) sakes, when.

Does this guy really know anything?
- mhp

He aint Bob but he's pretty in tune.

He can play C. Probably more of an Ott center, but he can do it
- jcragcrumple

He's nothing like an "Ott center". Ott took draws and then shifted to wing. Dzingle doesn't take any draws, at least not last year

It sucks that the final rosters have to be sent to the league by the last week of June.

Dzingle played very little C last year. Are we concerned about that at all?
- Powerslave

Darcy didn't care, why should we

Trade for Tyler Johnson. He's swell.

Roster was due yesterday. Sobotka is 1C

You would think maybe if we get a c / wing player Reinhart might get a shot at running his own line.

I don't remember that, so then who played C after the draw, Pommer?

Not sure I like that, either. He's finally settling in at wing.

No. Whatever true C was on the ice. It was Ott's f/o abilities that had them doing that.

Didn't Ott center Vanek and Pommer for a while? Could sworn that happened

Quite possibly.

I'm not sure what it means, but it probably means something of value (pickle2).

Howdy, rebel scum.

I was just wondering how this guy would be tuned into Buffalo when it seems like Botts doesn't let much out.

It's possible. Perhaps on those nights he stayed at C.

Either way, Dzingel played mostly wing last year. In fact, on average, he's never taken more than 1 face-off, per game, per year.

Is the ROR trade thus far the worst in NHL history? Maybe not but it has to be the worst in the last decade at least.

Think about the initial return...

- Berglund was brought in to be a stop gap 2C he sucked then quit on the team. At least we saved cap on him
- Sobotka was supposed to be a "quality" bottom six guy. He had the worst or second worst stats in the entire NHL in multiple analytical categories and he complained about not getting more ice time.
- Thompson, there's a chance he could come into his own in the next few years but he's been a mess in the NHL thus far
- 1st round pick ended up being the worst the Sabres could hope for because the Blues and ROR won the cup. Johnson is a prospect most saw as a mid 2nd round pick. Really can''t speak on him yet obviously but if he's anything less than a top pairing defender in 5-6 years it was a bad move
