North Buffalo

It doesnt take much sometimes to stabilize the back end, sometimes 1 guy or 2, change of pairing... certain guys read off each other better than with others... on ice chemistry is a big thing... finding the right combo for Power will be key. I could see Johnson being the guy to start the season and the moving in Clifton later.

Broken clock kinda thing?

PS friend mention that Benson's skating really stood out at rookie camp... balance and change of direction being eye opening

Any goalies?

oh forgot Sabres had another same mustache too... family?

Yeh gotta be somewhere in between Darcy and TM giving away the fort... problem is too many other teams may want the fort right now.

Savoie is there...look at last vid he is no 45... friend posted a shot of him on facebook who attended yesterday..

Dont think it was about injury... achilles are able to fully rehab and hockey boot makes post injury very stable again its more about being smart with training

No

It really depends on how well rehab goes but it helps that he is young... Should call Duclair and find out his routine.

Oh I disagree... but it takes a bit. problem will be strengthening quad and hammies without hurting or having a set back with achilles... they dont tend to tear again...

Goalies are such weird animals... I am hesitant unless for right term... I like idea of someone like MAF... but I have no clairvoyance... Jarry has been up and down some of it due to injuries so not sure he's the answer... but yes if it is an upgrade at right term.

Just listened to whole interview: Impressions he looks like a linebacker with those shoulders and love his emphasis on team defense... Oloffson should take some notes regardless if he is still with Sabres... Hope he can add to the D leadership what OK does for forwards..

Isles! Quins and Wings doing what?

I'd like faster improvement but I get it long term is a youth movement with steady talent infusement every year is the way to be competitive long term... just been so long and patience is not one of my virtues... sigh I hear you nill and while I no longer carry your angst I can still vicariously smile thru your posts

journeyman 3rd liner at this point decent faceoff guy but was good in his prime

Johnson still has gas in the tank but like KO you need to manage his minutes... a great leader, tuff as nails... just cant go the whole season.

tic tic any news? lotsa not signings and actual signings?

Yes but decent shot and can chip in goals when he gets on a run...

A sneaky late bloomer Sardarian... skinny as hell but very good skater.... nice hand just needs to gain 40lbs

huh

Also like his last name... no relation as far as I know...

Yup and I grew 4 inches after graduating HS from 5'10" to 6'2" by 19

Maybe but if you are developing relationships so you get the best insight you dont want screw up those relationships plus James Patrick you dont want to screw that up

Hockey rat sounds like he is still growing into his size... love his grit... could be another diamond as he develops into his body.
