I tell the truth... Lindy Ruff is the most negative person ever, Many guys say he never says one positive word to them ever, just negative stuff. Young guys lose confidence playing for him, and switching lines all the time will never help a guys scoring streak. It's a good thing guys like Ennis don't listen to Lindy and his "how to score at the NHL level". Remember when Ennis was called up and Lindy had to teach him how to score? I'm surprised Ennis didn't get benched for all those amazing 2 on 1 passes he made with Stafford and Foligno, Paul Hamilton said Lindy tells guys to shoot on 2 on 1s never pass. - MrSquirrel
EVER?
In the history of mankind?
Not 100% true
Drew Stafford also said he never would have made it to the NHL without Lindy.
Miller said he wouldn't be the player he is without the coach either (EVERYONE KEEP THEIR MILLER JOKES TO THEMSELVES!!! )
2. Imagine next year, Vanek, Pommer, Staff, Ott all still under contract. + all the youth.
We could see lines like this:
Vanek, Hodgson, Pommer
Foligno, Ennis, Stafford
Ott, Girgensons, Kaleta/Gerbe
Leino, Grigorenko, Armia
Myers, McNabb
Ehrhoff, Pysyk
Sekera, Weber
*truncated* - Sabretooter
There are a lot of stretches in that lineup. Girgs, Grigs and Armia all makining them team, no way. Probably not even one of them in October. Joe Finley "becoming" a skater, we all like to dream but dream on. Defense is a total Mystery. You could make nearly 2 good pro defense rosters with our current players. All we know is Myers, Erhoff, and Regehr will be there. That leaves 3 remaining spots for
Leopold, Weber, Sekera, Sulzer, Pardy, Mcnabb, Brennan. 7 good to decent D-men to fill 3 spots and one in the broadcast booth.

Heard on WGR that Sabres offered Suter and Parise 100 million dollar contracts. That got my blood pumping a little bit. Pegula will pay the price to put an all star team on the ice. Will Buffalo be able to entice these players to come to Buffalo? - Pillar
We just wait until July 1st 2015 and offer Patrick Kane 10yrs / 110MM. Who's with me?

I honestly think theyll resign him and go the Patrick/Numminen route with him. veteran leader to mentor the kids - CaptPantalones
Like I said, love him to death, but he doesn't have the skating those other two had. Not even close. It makes a difference in prolonging a guy's career.
