North Buffalo

will do

Whoever the new Captain is, I think we should create a vetting process here before he is named... Captain must be able to Grab Derek Roy, eat 100 Duffs Wings resulting in farts that can clear 2 rows of Muffy and Daves at the Arena, use real horseradish on their beef on weck... leap tall buildings in a single bound, measure how deep Lake Erie is with a body part, fish with said body part and catch steelhead... what else????

Hey do we pm you with our picks our just list them here?

Boy Wonder did look good on the wing and looks like he knows how to finish... He and Asplund on a line with say Bailey on a third line makes me drool. still think Sam plays a hybrid wing center with Jack and Kane. Put Nylander with KO and ROR. I forget their handedness... but it might not matter. Checking line of Larry, Fasching and Girgensen and you now have a contending NHL team! Pu gets a year in AHL with call up option and who knows who else surprises Sabres the year after that Glotov? Give Sabres some cache to find/ draft or trade for a top D. Who know about injuries. Still think the coming year is about development for all these guys. Keep forgetting about Rodriguez, see if he develops further, but I think he might have hit his ceiling. Another one along with Baptiste and Bailey who need to prove it. Nice problem for Sabres to have!

Post of the summer, possibly the year!

All the current threads are sommer threads... some are home and some are not... sorry couldnt resist.

Yeh but he has thick legs...

Nah just the chesticles...

Gonna be a long 21/2 months... sigh.

I printed out all the team rosters tonite and am going to go thru them tomorrow during slow times at work... oh wait that is today.... I hate doubles. Should be completed by the overnite going into Saturday morning.

in, will put my list together friday overnite in CT ER.

LOL Stuey... nice, you still coaching and in ownership?

Need to consider it but the idea is great just made my head spin as I started a quick one in myy head...

The only problem is those are Kane's goals, not the one's where he just flung the puck at the net when he should have passed... that is his downside... vision or patience with the puck. Would like to see his assists go up. But it bears repeating... others have said he is one of the few guys that can keep up with Eichel on a full out sprint.

Still in show me mode until some of the recent draft picks... Ghule, Nylander, Glotov, Middlestadt, Fitz, Borgen, and others take the next step. If Sabres again draft well next year, the next few years should be fun to watch but I'm still in show me mode.

That would be my hope, but not sure until contract is signed, interim ROR if not.

Not sure if it is Eichel, he needs to step up with consistency, ROR to me makes the most sense with his experience unless Jack is gonna be committed and vocal. May depend on his contract and when it is signed. If you go this route then make ROR, a healthy KO as a spokesman type and Risto or Scandella on back end. How many assistants captains can a team designate?

McCabe more too, You don't get 30 goals from shooting only from bad angles, though I agree he does do it more often than he should. Needs to hold the puck more when he doesn't have a shot and look to make a play. Think he gives up on doing that too often.

Agreed, you see the few moments he just relaxes his actual skill comes out. Sometimes the best thing to do is to just do, not think.

or both with Asplund as center maybe. Perrault had a funky style with bowlegs. Didnt stop him. Just saying maybe just refine it a bit, but the kid seems to get where he needs well. Might not want to teach it but doubt you want to change it much.

Just saw that, think it works for both and if Larrson picks it up with new system, still think he may and Girgenson combo may be our best two checking 3rd fouth line combo. Throw one of the young guys like Bailey there to let him develop further and that would be an awesome 4th line imo. Or put Larry up on one the other lines as a forechecker pest. Be interesting, him Kane and maybe Sam together... might work... ?

Esposito is a lot older than 40

Think 60 point should be the minimum goal if used correctly 25g + 35a. Would hope higher.

Depends on the youngs stepping up. Still think this year may be a bit of a feeling out year. If they are not playing better by midway an its obvious scoring is still an issue then yes, but with lattitude till trade deadline.

Agreed, seems ok in corners but not scoring well.
