Michael Pachla: Sabres game-night--Three days off was a real long time

As long as they didn't forget how they have been playing , we win this game.

I don't think the 3 days off will slow down the Sabres. Mike Weber might hurt the team a bit. I think the Sabres will be ready for the Lightning and come out with a 4-2 victory.

Michael, what do you think of Ek's Fowler to Buffalo rumor? I'd say it has a 0-5% chance of coming to fruition. But if there was a deal made who from Buffalo would go to the Ducks?

If EK rumored it . consider it a unicorn spotting.

imo, who wouldn't want fowler?...but I wouldn't give up too much...an ennis for fowler swap straight-up would be as far as I'd go...and I like ennis a lot

I think he also mentioned the ducks wanting a defenseman in return, which to me, doesn't make a lot of sense...

thx for reminding me

Going to post about it again (new thread and all), but anyone who might have gotten or is interested in the NHL simulator game I play, 2015/16 rosters are out to download. PM me if you want the link or have any questions.

Also, to keep it to posting about it only once here, I figured I'd blog about my playthrough again. If you want to follow along, here's a link (here on Hockeybuzz):

If anyone else plays it or other similar games and writes/blogs about it, let me know, I'd be interested in following along!

Struggling or not Tampa is a tough test. Ullmark will need to be sharp

I have a feeling tonight's game will remind us that our defense is lacking. They have held up OK so far but this team is still missing two top 4 defensemen

I love this team, ROR is the real (frank)in deal, but kane...

one thing I like about the forwards that murray has put together, as well as the style Bylsma coaches, they're always on the back-check and are defensively aware...I can't remember more than one time where there was a tire-fire in the buffalo zone leading to a goal...

although it's not the solution, it sure helps

Definitely helps when you get good two-way play out of your forwards. O'Reilly stands out the most in that category. Plus Risto is looking good and Bogo will be a huge addition when he comes back so I am remaining optimistic.

Ducks asked about Ennis again, like they did a couple years ago and Darcy said no.

I was told he would rather move Larsson then Ennis or Moulson, but he's in no hurry. Bob Murray has had an interest in Ennis for a couple years now.

Problem there is im guessing Larsson hasn't generated as much interest

Vatanen and Lindholm need to be resigned so if they move Fowler I doubt a big contract goes back, 5 mil for Moulson and 4.6 for Ennis. I would think both Ducks D men will get at least 4-5 mill a year each.

Not as much as of yet but #28 has.

Guessing the ducks have a similar problem The internal budget will force them to do something if not during the year then probably at the draft. I have reservations about fowlers defensive game but we really do need a lefty who can put up some points.

5 mil and 4.6 seem like pretty reasonable cap hits by today's standards. If Ennis is who they are after I would ask for a prospect like Kerdiles coming back
